Ask This to Trinitarians

For those of you who like to defend the Word of God and His truth like me. Ask this question to Trinitarians:




What is the name of God?



This question sounds so simple, yet it's hard for them to answer it.



Look at what the bible says;



(Exo 9:16) And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.



God is a personal God, therefore He has a name.


So now the question is what is God's name? This question intended to Trinitarians is a key point to understand the roots of the Trinitarian doctrine.



(The proper understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity will lead to the better understanding of these arguments)



Let's suppose that their answer is the Father. The Father is the name of God? Now upon what basis they support this answer?


First of "Father" is not a name, it's just a title. Suppose that I'm a father. Just because I'm a father doesn't mean that's my name. My name is Guillermo, though I'm a father, my name is not father, but Guillermo.


Now let's say that the name of God is indeed "father" then how do you explain John 1:1 where it says:



(Joh 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.



If the name of God is "Father" then this verse would say:



In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the Father, and the Word was the Father.



The "Word" is Jesus, and at the end you would end up calling Jesus the Father. (Trinitarians do not believe that Jesus is the Father)



And if the name of God is the Father, then where do you leave the Son and the Holy Spirit? The doctrine of the Trinity states that within God there are three persons, and that those three persons have the same power and authority.



Calling the name of God, the Father, you automatically degrade the name of Jesus and Holy Spirit.


Now what is the name of God?



Let's suppose they say is the Holy Spirit. Here we can apply the same arguments previously mention; where do you leave the name of the Father and Jesus? Aren't they supposed to have the same authority and power and everything? They're supposed to share the same name. What is the name of God?



Let's suppose that their answer is Jesus. Is this correct? Well where do you leave the name of the Father? Or the Holy Spirit? Then if the name of God is Jesus, I suppose that Jesus is the only God since there could not be any other God within Jesus. (The proper understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity will lead to the better understanding of these arguments)


I don't think Trinitarians will agree with this, they do not call the name of God Jesus.


Trinitarians have a name for all the persons within God. But throughout all the pages of the bible, God declares that He has a name. Then what is the name of God?



Well this is where the controversy comes, the trinity is a made up term. Now what if they call the name of God the "trinity"? Is this correct? I don't think so!


If the name of God is the trinity, then why is it that the bible never mentions it?


Or if the name of God is the trinity, then how do you explain 1 Timothy 3:16 where it says:



(1Ti 3:16) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.



Were the trinity manifested in the flesh? Were the three persons in the Godhead manifested?


Or what about John 1:1? In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with the trinity, and the Word was the trinity?


This is absurd, this is totally anti-biblical, and it is not correct.



So now, I ask; what is the name of God?

Regarding Jehovah's Witnesses' "New World Translation" Bible and its rendering of John 1:1, it may interest you to know that there is soon to be published an 18+ year study/reference work (as of 09/2010) in support and explanation of their wording of this verse (especially within the third clause with "a god") entitled, "What About John 1:1?"

To learn more of its design and expected release date, we invite you to visit:

@JohnOneOne
hello, best regards.
yeah the "new world translation" is controversy some how. and at the end, all i can say is why is it that other bible translators have not noticed this changes that the new world translation translators are coming up with?
and anyhow even if John 1:1 its correctly translated in this new world translation bible, it is still contradictory to the Jehovah's Witnesses doctrine.
i wrote a post about John 1:1, though for other reasons, i recommend you to read it http://doctrineblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/thought-of-god-john-11.html
