Shlama Paul,
Your objection to The Holy Spirit being a Person would also have to apply to God The Father. John 4:24 says, "God is a Spirit". Does that mean God The Father cannot be a Person ? Angels are also spirits- see Hebrews 1:7. Are they not persons ?
You and Dave both seem to concede that Eusebius
is the only source you have for the reading "in My Name" at matthew 28:19 . Did you know that Eusebius also quotes the verse in the traditional words, "in The Name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit" ?
Where did he get that reading ?
You guys are really grasping at straws, now .
Show me one Greek manuscript of Matthew with a different reading. Show me one Aramaic ms. with a different reading of the verse in question. Show me one version of Matthew in any ancient language with a different reading.
To disregard plain scripture and substitute conjecture in its place is sheer folly. It most certainly is not scholarship or wisdom.
Dave says I am a heretic for believing it is scripture, and he is orthodox for not believing it !
I don't know how anyone could take him seriously.
Let's stick to the evidence, gentlemen.
Yours for Truth,
Dave
