Err excuse me,

When I used this scriptural against the Trinity I believe you debunked it as irrelevant (or something similar) Here you are using it to support the Trinity - how?

The fact that Christ said "name" and not "names" an instruction which was adhered to by the disciples who exclusively baptised in the name of Jesus, (never father, son and holy ghost) is evidence of both Christ's claimed divinity and that he is ONE with God not a third of God.

Do not forget your hypothetical concept of God!

I don't see why you think I have a hypothetical concept of God. For God is
explained in the Holy Bible and I follow that description. I do not ask if this,
then that as one would do with a hypothetical. It is atheist that want to make
God hypothetical by doing that kind of questioning about Him.

A hypothetical concept is not the same as a hypothetical question.

You hypothesis that god exists because you have no evidence at all for gods existence.

Atheists are not 'trying to make god a hypothetical'. We just want you to prove that your
god exists before believing in it.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of
God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the
world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that
are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were
thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible
God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals
and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to
dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the
lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged
the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural
use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing
what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over
to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all
unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full
of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters,
haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the
righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of
death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

(Romans 1:18-32 NKJV)

someone should tell ronnie that the word "god" doesn't exist in any of the original manuscripts for judaism or christianity.

Not one English word appears in the original manuscripts. So what?

The point is that you have the evidence in front of you and all around you, so you
are without excuse for denying the truth. Only a fool does that.

must be that you invoke satan every time you use the word "god"

What do I invoke when I use the word "love"? That word is also not in the original
Jewish or Christian text.

Haven't you read that the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Him bodily. So to
Baptize in the name of Yahshua is the same as baptizing in the name of all three
persons of the Trinity. You are right that God is not divided into thirds. The
Holy Spirit is just as much fully God as the Father is fully God. But there is
only one name under heaven that you must be saved through and that name is
the name of God, YAH. HalleluYah !!! YAHshua is the Son of God and has been
given all power in heaven and Earth. Jesus is a transliteration into English of
the name Yahshua.
