When reading Scripture in the New Testament and trying to soak in what the Words of Jesus mean to me, on a personal level, it always comes back to this.
John 6; 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
1Cor.2; 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
Matt.10;20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Like Ray states "you have to pay attention to the words".Now I know none of us were there when the original manuscript was first put into a format that was to live down through the ages,none of us. But, knowing of what the Spirit of God is and what His ultimate plan is for humanity,well,to think that Christ's words are anything else but of the Spirit would, on my part, be of a huge mistake in my understanding of why i am here in the first place.It is not about the flesh but it is all about the Spirit.That in and of itself is the reason that any of us are even here, its about Spirit, not flesh.
I cannot say for sure that Mat.28,19 was in the original manuscript or not but the way the wording of that verse is used certainly speaks of a trinitarian doctrine of man and does not speak to me in the Word of Spirit and Truth. Like Ray states if it comes from the church [babylon] you can rest assured that it is all about the literal and of the physical flesh. In my opinion, this one stinks of rotten trinity fish.
[Jesus speaking to His disciples] 16 "And I shall be asking the Father, and He will be giving you another consoler, that it, indeed, may be with you for the eon --
17 the spirit of truth, which the world can not get, for it is not beholding it, neither is knowing it. Yet you know it, for it is remaining with you and will be in you.
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone should be loving Me, he will be keeping My word, and My Father will be loving him, and We shall be coming to him and making an abode with him.
