Re: The Trinity Thread (To be a merged thread)
Speaking of a three headed God, I was reading 1 Samuel 28 this morning- wow, what a chapter! Saul is scared stiff about the impending war with the Philistines. Goes to a woman in EnDor who has a “ familiar spirit” because God is not talking to Saul either be dream, Urim, or prophet. So it says: 11Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 12And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. 13And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what seest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth. 14And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance.
Woah Doctor! A whole lot going on here! And the woman said unto Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth. Wa wa wa what’s this? The word for god here is elohim. So the translations of this are all over the place- a spirit, spirits, a divine being, god, gods, one like god. But the word is elohim, which as we are often told by the triunists is the 3 headed god that created all, and we must all recognize that God is a plural being.
So then we get to the NT and the great apostle Paul tells the Corinthians that there is but one God, the Father. What happened to the 3 headed being?
