God says “egw eimi o’ Theos” “I AM THE GOD” using 1st person singular grammar; And once in Exodus, Speaking to Moses, GOD says "egw eimi o’ w’n " -
“I am the being” using first person singular grammar.
“egw” = first-person-singular pronoun = “I”
“eimi” = first-person-singular present active verb = “AM”
“'o” = singular definite article = “The”
“theos” = Nominative masculine singular noun = “God”
“Egw” leaves no room for 'We." “Egw” allows no room for “US.” “Egw” is a reference to a first-person-singular “I.”
“Eimi” leaves no room for “Are,” but is a reference to “AM.”
“Ho” leaves no room for “some” but is a reference to “The” one and only.
It is a singular definite article.
“Theos” leaves no room for “Theoi;” You cannot stuff “plural persons” into a singular-person reference.
God introduced himself to Moses as a 1st-person-singular “being;” i.e., there is only one person in the “person-singular” being.
In Exo 3:14 God introduced himself to Moses using singular pronoun, singular verb, singular definite article and singular verb participle. “egw eimi 'o wn” = “I AM THE BEING.”
“egw” = first-person-singular pronoun = “I”
“eimi” = first-person-singular present active verb = “am”
“'o” = singular definite article = “the”
“wn” = Singular participle = “Being”
“Egw” leaves no room for 'We." “Egw” allows no room for “US.” “Egw” is a reference to a first-person-singular “I.”
“Eimi” leaves no room for “Are,” but is a reference to “AM.”
“Ho” leaves no room for “some” but is a reference to “The” one and only.
It is a singular definite article.
“Wn” leaves no room for beings, it is a reference to “The Being.” It is singular as to number of persons considered.
“Singular” participle means there is only one person in “The Being.”
If in fact, the new testament “reveals” what was hidden in the old testament about a triune God, why then did God repeat his “Misinformation” in the new testament?
Why did God say in Mark 12:26 “And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, [Egw o` Theos] I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?”
“egw” = first-person-singular pronoun = “I”
“'o” = singular definite article = “The”
“theos” = Nominative masculine singular noun = “God”
Why did God say in Acts 7:32 “[Egw o` Theos] I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold” using first-person-singular Pronoun; first-person-singular Definite Article; first-person-singular Noun" if in fact, he is a multi-personal being?
“egw” = first-person-singular pronoun = “I”
“'o” = singular definite article = “The”
“theos” = Nominative masculine singular noun = “God”
LOOK AT WHAT JESUS TEACHES ABOUT WHEN HE AND THE FATHER ARE TOGETHER; John 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone [monos]: and yet I am not [ouk monos] alone, because the Father is with me.
When Jesus is with his Father, they together, are “ouk monos” “not alone.” But if either of them is by himself, he is “monos” “alone.”
Isa 37:16 “O Jehovah' (LORD) of hosts,
Elohiym’ (God) of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the Elohiym' (God), even thou
monos’ (alone), of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.”
Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am Jehovah (the LORD) that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone [monos]; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
From this, it can be safely deduced, that if they are “monos” “alone” the second is not with the first. Each is “monos/alone” with reference to the other. And if either is “ouk monos” as regards the other, they are together, and not alone.
Now, let us look again at the Isaiah passage, with this new understanding - Isa 37:16 “O Jehovah' (LORD) of hosts,
Elohiym’ (God) of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the Elohiym' (God), even thou
monos’ (alone), of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.” In this passage we learn that Jehovah of hosts, ALONE is the Elohiym of Israel, and ALONE made the heaven and the earth.
Again, this concept is born out by the testimony of other passages -
Isa 42:5 Thus saith `El Jehovah’ (God the LORD), he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isa 44:24 Thus saith Jehovah' (the LORD), thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am
Jehovah’ (the LORD) that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens `monos’ (alone); that spreadeth abroad the earth, by myself;
And if GOD is TRIUNE (Three Persons) why did Jesus deny being God?
Jesus said "God is a Spirit"John 4:24
Jesus said “a spirit hath not flesh and bones.” Luke 24:39
Jesus said "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."Luke 24:39
Jesus said “true worshippers shall worship The Father.” John 4:23
Then in Isaiah, (and several other places) He tells us “I sent MY Holy Spirit” to accomplish something, and NEVER is there a reference to a third-person-of a Trinity Holy Spirit referenced in scripture.
The Identity Of God The Father As “The Holy Spirit”
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is He that put His holy Spirit within him? 12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? 13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? 14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: 15 so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?16 Doubtless Thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: Thou, O JEHOVAH, art our Father, our Redeemer; Thy name is from everlasting." [Isa 63:11-16]
JOEL 2:28-32
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.”
ACTS 2:16-21
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
50 A.D. I THES 4:8
“He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us HIS Holy Spirit.”
56 A.D. ROM 8:11
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by HIS Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
85 A.D. I JOHN 4:13
“Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because HE hath given us of HIS Spirit.”
