| Message | To Kenneth Covey (Part 3):
According to the Oxford University Press Dictionary, the word “name” means - a word or words by which someone or something is known, addressed, or referred to. According to Webster’s Dictionary “name” means - a word or phrase by which a person or thing is designated. The American Heritage Dictionary defines “name” as - a word or words by which any entity is designated. Did you notice that a name can be a phrase, or even WORDS by which something is designated? There are many fathers, but only one "THE Father"! There are many sons, but only one "THE Son"! There are many spirits, but only one "THE Holy Spirit"! By every definition of the word, "Father" is a name of God the Father! "Son" is a name of God the Son! "Holy Ghost" is a name of God the Holy Ghost!
I loved it when you brought that crazy check analogy up too! I'd like to see you open up a checking account as "Kenneth Covey", but only after you tell them that you are omnipresent, omnipotent, eternal, the creator of all things, and the great God of heaven! They'd throw you out on your head! My point is, you have got to quit using earthly analogies to describe God! To call me a father is to address me by a title, but to call God the Father the "Father" is much more than a title. Ever read Isaiah 9:6? LOL!
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: ... and his name shall be called ... The everlasting Father.
I guess "Father" is a name, huh? |
