Yeh, Enter D, God sure didn't like what Babylon was doing, and He used real history to teach spiritual lessons.

Please expand on this one IAC...I'm not sure how you got a spiritual lesson derived from the barbaric Babylonian behaviour from that passage...
Babylonian system bad, Yahweh system good.
Quibbling over pronouns does not address my original question. Whosoever you may deign to be the "correct" deity, why do you think he was the actual one that existed and wrote the correct 'book' out of the scores of them available?
Yahweh, also know as Elohim (which is plural, the Trinity).
That is hardly an expansion, and I see no difference between barbarisms of one or another flavour.
The Bible was written through millenia by mulitiple authors and it all fits hand in glove, with the "crimson thread" of the atonement coursing through its entirety, a remarkable book, read by many people worldwide through the centuries.
Excellent prose IAC, but it amounts to a lot of sound and fury that really adds no value to what we're discussing.
Thanks, and I don't think so.
It has many contradictions.
So are all three "people" in the Trinity equal?
Are they equal in knowledge?
Are they equal in authority?
Are they equal in power?
If not, how are they the same person?
Google it or Wiki it or read the Bible.
Nds1, you've had about nineteen million questions about the Bible, so have you read it? If you have, you retained little of it, if you haven't, then why don't you?
Why do you ask so many elementary questions since you've read it?
"Rapture" is not in the Bible either, these are terms to describe the Biblical concepts, can't you understand that?
Well why don't you tell us your interpretation of it rather than asking apparently rhetorical questions, as if you'd never read it?
Outside of the fact that the bible has very little basis on reality, it seems clear that the three major powers are a triumvirate rather than a symbiotic "three-in-one" entity. And the character "God" is the most powerful. The character "Holy Spirit" seems to be a yes-man...
Just poking some fire for nds1's interpretation.
