Just a simple question:

Biblically, are you a person?

Shalom,

I am confused.

The question is "Biblically, are you a person?" How does "trinitarian" equate with "person?"

Shalom,

Never mind, bro. Jay. I've had my nose in the college books to long. :? I'm sorry, I took your question to mean something else. I'll come back down to earth now, and see if I can give you a answer.

No. I am not a person Biblically. It is the government that makes me a person. As soon as I separate myself from the government system, I will no longer be a person.

I will be a man of YHWH, called, Eriq BenEl
Shalom in the name of YHWH,

Simple question, simple answer.

YES, I am a "person", according to the 4 main definitions i found:

Adam = man, mankind.
Ish = male, husband.
Enowsh = mortal man.
Nephesh = living being.

p.s. In case anyone thought i was dead, i'm not. I'm just inactive for a while.
Yahweh bless everyone.

What nonsense. Unless we have a computer program posting here, everyone is a person. Even the Angels/Malakim are persons.

I am a living soul. That's good enough for Yehvah.

I am not, as far as the silly lawyer talk goes, a "United States Person" - since I can't find a "United States" here in the Republic of Illinois. For that matter, I can't even find an "Illinois" in the current "State of Illinois."

It's not nonsense. We should not be ignorant of Satans devices. The schemes and traps run wide and deep. But most of us have our heads stuck so far up the Beast's backside we can't see or hear.

A "person" legally or Scripturally is not a "human being". Being a person entitles the State to "ownership" of you. It is your registered name and number's.

Why do you think we have to have a birth certificate?
How is it that the State has the right to come and take your house, your land, even your children??!! Because they have "documents" of ownership of your person-hood. You and I, as a person, are slaves to them, and we cannot live, move and have our being without valid slave papers...
Shalom in the name of YHWH,

I'm waiting for proof of your claim, unless it is arbitrary.

JMSchattke wrote:The fact that Lawyers have created a legal fiction definition of "person" does not make you not a person. The fact that insane clerics have made up some crazy idea of three persons in one for the trinitarian nonsense does not make "person" be a less valid apelation to you, or me, or any other human.


What, then, makes YOU a person? (If that's what you claim to be.)


eriqbenel wrote:Why do you think we have to have a birth certificate?


I don't have a birth certificate. Do you? or do you just have a "certified" copy of one, that the State holds the original of?

Do you even know what a birth certificate is, or what law it invokes?

JMSchattke wrote:There was a reason I put in the cute caveat about the "United States Person" - but there is no way of escaping the fact that you are a person.


I'm still waiting for you to prove it.

JMSchattke wrote:Your hyperbolic sillyness is dangerous - people who have done real crimes and are caught will face he legal system, and the games you play will just make things more difficult. Judges might let you off on minor things because they would rather do that than consign you to an insane asylum for observation and deciding whether you are a danger to society.


Your language reveals your frustration (and lack of evidence to support your claims).

No one here is talking about crime, that I can see.

But, I'll wait for proof that I am a person. I consider the Scripture to be the only truth in the matter.

If this is sillyness and nonsense, copius proof should be at your fingertips, correct?

Chuck, can you explain how you are a person from what you posted?

I do not understand how you came to believe you are a person from this material.

Thanks,

Prove it by scripture.

This, on the face of it, is impossible, since "person" is english, to refer to a human being, and "scripture" was written in Hebrew or Greek. Hebrew and Greek, of course, don't use the English word "person." The words used in the context where an English speaking person might use person are:

(KJV)Lev 19:15 Ye shall do6213 no3808 unrighteousness5766 in judgment:4941 thou shalt not3808 respect5375 the person6440 of the poor,1800 nor3808 honor1921 the person6440 of the mighty:1419 but in righteousness6664 shalt thou judge8199 thy neighbor.5997
(TS98)Lev 19:15 'Do no unrighteousness in right-ruling. Do not be partial to the poor or favour the face of the great, but rightly rule your neighbour in righteousness.

See, the use of "person" changed over the years... in English. So The Scriptures used a different construction to achieve the same meaning.

Literally, "partial to the poor" is "lift face dangling" and "favor the face of the great" is "swell face great."

So, in the terms of the KJV here, yes, I am a "person" - I have a face (פני).

(KJV)Num 5:6 Speak1696 unto413 the children1121 of Israel,3478 When3588 a man376 or176 woman802 shall commit6213 any4480, 3605 sin2403 that men120 commit, to do4603 a trespass4604 against the LORD,3068 and that1931 person5315 be guilty;816
(TS98)Num 5:6 "Speak to the children of Yisra'ĕl, 'When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in trespass against יהוה, and that being is guilty,

Literally, "that person be guilty" is "and-guilty the-breathing-animal the-he."

So, in the terms of the KJV here, yes, I am a person - I am a breathing animal (נפש×

I'm sorry, Jay. As usual my explanations are too short, and i assume people will understand them. Here's the longer version (but not THAT much longer):

With my "Online Bible" softward, i did a "word search" on the word "person*".
It found 107 verses.
I then displayed the Strong's numbers and looked up the words. The 4 most frequently used words were as follows:

#120 - Adam = man, mankind.
#376 - Iysh = male, husband.
#582 - Enowsh = mortal man.
#5315 - Nephesh = living being.

#6440 - Panyim = face: this also appeared a few times, and since JMS mentioned that having a "face" also makes one a "person", i'll add that one to the other 4.

Since i fit allof those definitions (except "husband"), i conclude that i'm a "person".
I hope that explains it better.
