Re: article on Mark 10:18...
Yeah, looks like it's literally in hebrew YHWH which is translated several ways to try and approximate the pronunciation, is the title for the godhead/ trinity.
However I disagree that there is no name for the Father, as He literally introduced himself to Moses at the burning bush by name! (That's YHWH)
Hear, o israel, YHWH your God (I believe this is elohim?) Is one (echad).
Unified, inseparable, of one mind...
Jesus' hebraic name is a further description of YHWH- Yahhovshuah (yah-ov-shu-ah), literally, Yah is my salvation.
The informal pronunciation is Yahusha, Joshua
In transliteration to Greek-
IASOS
Jesus.
This is another thing that can be looked up on bible.cc
And also further researched by reading the hebrew versions of Matthew's Gospel. Fragments of the gospel of Mark are also extant (existent) in the Qu'umran cave parchment archive.
The trinity Q has been put into a separate and newer topic, you may enjoy reading it.
As for myself, I can get confused on the topic too! Who is who?
There's the familiar figures we know, and they have the title ''YAH'' in common in hebrew. The holy spirit is the more elusive of the 3 to understand, but that's consistently referred to in the OT as the pillar of cloud, the glory over the holy of holies, the figure of wisdom in Solomon's writings, etc.
Ruach hakodesh is literally translated
Breath/wind/spirit set apart
Which in or language is simplified,
''holy spirit''
Which awakens wonder.
God breathed life into Adam and Eve
I think a concordance study on 'breath' in the OT would be a positive study.
And for that matter, a peek at how Paul and other apostles were supplied gracious answers when stick at court, when being confronted with the enemies of the new faith taking root at that time (they called it The Way, Christianity came a while after it was institutionalized).
What they breathed were holy spirit-inspired words, yeah?
Or for that matter, the gift of tongues in acts where many people could understand the apostles right after the baptism of tongues of fire?
That was breathing words for the glory of God's kingdom.
No wonder the holy spirit blessed those words with a miracle!
Except I would like to state with some certainty that they were not hiding the name of YAH under a blanket of niceties such as titles like Lord and generalities like God at that time.
Many of the people gathered where they wetter at that time were gathered for the spring festivities. Pentecost is the end of the counting of the omer, the 50-day count which follows Passover and the 7 days of eating yeast-free bread. (And we sit here and wonder why candidiasis is such an issue on an alternative health website? Look up the species present in baker's yeast.)
Anyways, if you're able to track down the direct hebrew title for the Father, I'm all ears.
