Mark

I’m not sure why you have come to the conclusion that there is only one will in the Godhead-where is your scriptural basis for this. I don’t believe it is right to seperate Jesus deity at any points, for the point of salvation is that God himself comes to earth to die the perfect substitutionary death in our place. If it was purely Jesus human side at the cross then his death is ineffective. Who was tempted in the desert- Jesus man or Jesus God.

How do you understand the passages where Jesus claims that authority has been ‘given’ to Him

My point wasn’t to claim that God was unable to reveal things because of human authors- and no you didn’t offend me :), but that there is no complete triune revelation of God until Jesus came. I agree that the hebrew authors didn’t know alot of what they wrote specifically in alot of instances, but to imply that a complete revelation of the character of God was revealed in the OT i think is wrong. After all the New Covenant is a re-interpretation of the old in alot of ways. The New Covenant, i.e Jesus death and resurrection is the complete revelation of God in his redemptive plan. Therefore i don’t agree that we can have a complete understanding of the Trinity purely from the OT (if this is what you are imlying?)
