Do you happen to know of any other scriptures which do so?
Hi, Paidion, please don't take offense when I say that your request baffles me. I notice, with amusement, on the thread titled "Greg Koukl Napkin Argument for the Trinity," that Trinitarians think Greg Koukl's device is helpful, while non-Trinitarians believe it falls short. So goes the debate, on and on, since, I guess, that time St. Nichola slapped Arius. I'm sure it, the debate, will swirl unsettled for the rest of our lives.
You took JR to task over his pronoun usage, using some superlative language ("...no one ever...") and I backed his defense with a couple of examples. That's all I set out to do. I'm not really interested in providing either lessons in pronoun usage nor building a biblical case for or against the Trinity. The Prophets refer to the nation of Israel as "she" and "her," as many people do, even today, when referring to nations. I can list some if you want, but...why?
