EzAad:
What I posted to you on the previous page to this comment of yours:
The One God, in His doing/acting, is called : 'the Spirit of the Lord' and 'the Word of the Lord'. Why is that?
Also applies to your latest comments:
Trinity is about One Being (essence, nature, substance) and three 'hypostases' = underlying distinct expressions of identities: the Father (principle without principle), who spoke (=generated) His Word (light of light), and who breathed out His Spirit (brought forth). Again: because God is life/lifegiving, His expression (word and breath) is life and lifegiving. Therefore the Word and the Spirit of God must be 'distinct but fully co-operating operators'.
Medini:
No act, no role, done or assumed by G-d, can be G-d unless it is a role or act not freely done or assumed by G-d - i.e., an inherent or essential act or role. If it is free, then it is ex-nihilo and, it that most basic existential dependence, cannot be G-d. If it is not free, then your "G-d" is finite in "His" essential dependence, and not G-d at all.
Also, I would like to comment on your "one Name worthy of worship" - First, you gave three distinct names with different meanings, not "one Name"; Second, NO "name" or anything else finite is "worthy of worship". G-d's Names (even His Sublime Name YKVK) are to open us to the truly worthy of worship; no Name is to become the object of worship - that is idolatry, plain and simple.
