I didn't ask for an outline or for verses outside Isaiah. The point of Isaiah is "whom will you compare the singular God with?" not "I AM" or whatever you're attempting to share with verses without exegesis.

Yes, the Son is one with the Father, Isaiah 9. I've asked for comments on Isaiah 46, the plural God referring to Himself in the singular. But yes, Isaiah 9 is a great trinity apologetic and great witness to my Jewish people, who claim the EVERLASTING/ETERNAL Father is Hezekiah (who had extended life but was not the EVERLASTING Father).

I've asked for Isaiah exegesis/eisegesis. Please refrain yourself, and stick to Isaiah.

All my points are rooted in Bible passages.

Are you claiming El Elohim is a plural name for God, like YHVH Echad is?

Which strengthens the point--all English translations use the singular. No need to keep you in suspense, one apologetic I shared was that just as Song of Songs has different voices (the women, the bride/daughter, the brothers, the king), the scriptures hold the speech and prophecies of different persons of the Trinity in different passages.

You still have not addressed my question regarding ISAIAH, however: 1) Jesus said His person and His works were two witnesses from one person. 2) Mary and Joseph "raised the Word who became flesh". 3) Jesus sat down with His Father on His throne, in the right hand and power of the Father. 4) The Spirit is on Earth, usually helping believers.

No, I gave my friend my apologetics for the issue, as above in this thread. I would tell if I had a concern--I worked out these issues long ago, as a Jewish convert. There is no translation that says "us" instead of me, so I would disagree with your Hebrew interpretation.

LISTEN! It's not "stop having a blasphemous thought" any more than we "stop being angry". The opposite of anger is patience from God. The opposite of a blasphemous thought is to praise Jesus or read the Bible. SATAN HATES THIS and will stop pushing blasphemous thoughts on you when you REPLACE thoughts with God's thoughts, praise and power!

There *seems* to be, since God is speaking in the singular about Himself.

I'm a Jew and aware of this--group up with--not two Yahwehs--but the Father in Heaven and the Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit-the-Holy) in the scriptures and liturgy. You can find the son also. However, I'm asking for evidence about Isaiah without resorting to other books, like Genesis.

That's not how Bible study works--we should be able to discern what is happening from the context... I would say the context is sometimes the Spirit, sometimes the Son, and sometimes the Father have words for us in either testament.

I'm okay with your alternative presentation of the trinity/triunity/three persons, but you haven't answered why a singular "Me" in Isaiah 46:9 avoids a contradiction.

To be frank, If he wants you to become born again prior to marriage, he should keep the relationship with you, but on a chaste basis only. If you are having sex, he is showing a double-mindedness and making it harder for you to take his rededication/conversion seriously. Biblically speaking, he should end the relationship or continue in a chaste relationship only. You love him, so don't pursue him sexually for fornication, clouding his head and judgment at this challenging time. Your common-law marriage is not recognized without a ceremony and the legal commitment, biblically speaking.

How is it a strawman argument for a Berean to wonder why some OT verses refer to God as singular and some as a plural majesty? That seems a fair question to me. Do you have an answer from Isaiah, as requested?

If God cannot be expressed in one Person, why does he use the singular person to say, "To whom do you compare the singular Me?" in Isaiah 46. That is the question I've asked people to answer.

Besides giving an unorthodox position on the trinity/triunity of God, you have not answered my question--the Isaiah quote says "To whom will you compare [the singular] me?" Your apparent answer--" . . . The other two like you, over there". This does not answer my question regarding Isaiah 46:9, and actually increases the contradiction posed by that verse.

Your response is close to one of the answers I gave my friend. Thanks.

For your young child, it will be more how you live--consistently, gently, lovingly, than what you teach her--but it will help much if you always let her deal with these questions, by asking you whenever she wishes, and by you praying together and separately for answers.

Now pay attention, 007! Look up the Isaiah passage about how to deal with conspiracies. --BB

To help break the cycle, do NOT dwell on feeling dirty or ashamed after--that's Satan's bondage tool. Praise Jesus every time you have these thoughts and the devil will stop pushing these thoughts on you, as he hates praise!

Why would you do so?

A friend asked re: Isaiah 46:9 and its statement that God is singular, excluding Jesus from being God/God being a trinity. I'd like to hear your answers regarding either that verse or the context/chapter, proving the trinity. PLEASE NOTE: I'm uninterested in other verses proving a trinity. My friend and I are aware of the apologetics for the plural majesty/triunity/trinity of God in both testaments. I made several refutations/comments to my friend to reveal later, I'm seeking your wisdom on THIS passage also. Thanks!

Adam and Eve has pure, strong genetics and lived for centuries, producing many children, including a wife for Cain. That is, the answer is the same as in the "old non-scripture book" you mentioned. Life seems like vanity from a perspective without Jesus. Jesus planned always to redeem us. Praise Him! There's more to slavery in Egypt than just obedience and lusts. A lot more. The Bible says man is nearly unlimited in potential. Does it matter whether your questions are your own? Are you seeking the Christ? That's what matters--and in Him, you will find a wealth of answers. God didn't create "everyone to simply die and be tempted." There's a lot more to be said, read the New Testament. But it's not "a question beyond your understanding," if you read the NT.

Have you done a "Bible word search" on humble, humility or humbling oneself?
