But there is another verse in the old testament that speaks to the trinity, I'll report back when I can find my notes on that. I always thought that the old testament people realized that there was one God as two persons, it was that third being that kept coming up that was confusing to them. The savior/messiah person. Just like isn't there a forth person that we will find out about when we get to heaven? I'm guessing I'd better look for my notes on that one, too... In the meantime, Grudem didn't mention this verse, Ezekiel 11:5?<br />“And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and He said to me, ‘Say –Thus says the Lord: So you think, O house of Israel. For I know the things that come into your mind.’” (6-12:“You have multiplied your slain in this city and have filled its streets with the slain. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the meat, and this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it. You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, declares the Lord God. And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and give you into the hands of foreigners, and execute judgments upon you. You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord. This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the meat in the midst of it. I will judge you at the border of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord. For you have not walked in my statutes, nor obeyed my rules, but have acted according to the rules of the nations that are around you.”) <br />Susan Moorehttp://thecommonlanguage.com/wordpress2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-50089240669208061872013-07-22T11:10:29.770-04:002013-07-22T11:10:29.770-04:00Has it ever been considered if this textual develo...Has it ever been considered if this textual development is evidence for the emergence of an idea of Law?

The crowd, if my understanding is correct, didn't like the teachers of the law and their falseness. People have always had access to general revelation -they knew the truth about God, His eternal power and divine nature, by seeing what He has made. They also had a conscience and knowledge of eternity. Besides all that, there were those who, like today, were living in the real world; who had chronic illnesses, suffered from the effects of violence, were hungry and thirsty, or who lived in poverty. They realized that their daily existence depended on the one who is Faithfull and True, not in the teachers of the law. When Jesus spoke to that crowd, they recognized the voice of the good Shepherd, before they even knew the good Shepherd's name. Susan Moorehttp://thecommonlanguage.comnoreply@blogger.com
