    Verse 1 In the Beginning God

    Verse 2 Spirit of God moved

    verse 3 The word of God

    Can you see the difference?

    The Spirit and word came from the source God .

    God initiated it .

    I know many may not understand, but this is how God himself creates .

    He alone decides and then creates , through his word and spirit .

    The Spirit and word are sent by God and are of God . But God by himself wills it to be done by his purposes and pleasure. None can resist his will . Getting to know him is so amazing . But you have to get through all the lies that have been set for years . Thank God for the Bible !

    God is not a name it's a title he gave his name to Moses at the burning bush we must first know his name (YAHWEH) in order to call upon him the apostle Paul says in 1corithans 8:5 there are lords many and gods so we must investigate for ourselves his true name

    Shelia.

    There's no extra merit whether you use Yahweh, Jehovah, or God.

    There is value and virtue knowing the meaning for each name given,

    but if we want to place merit on how we pronounce it. There's no vowels in the Hebrew name, so Yahweh would also be incorrect.

    Exodus 6:3. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, ( EL SHADDAY ) but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

    Abraham actually called God Jehovah numerous times, as did Isaac and Jacob. The point being made to Moses, in Exodus 6:2, isn't that the Patriarchs didn't know the name Jehovah, obviously they did. But that name was being given a new significance now as the covenant name of God with Israel.

    I think what's most important is do we know him.

    God bless

    Thank you for that.

    Yes; the most important thing to know is Him! It is vital that we do not get caught up with the small details and ignore the large ones, which we often do.

    Yes here we can see the One God clearly as head , sending the Spirit and speaking the Word .

    The One God and father of All , the Spirit of God and the Word of God are sourced out by GOD himself who is in total control by using them to create and do His sole will and purpose .

    It's not 3 it's One GOD , simply explained to a degree .

    All blessings to the true God ! Amen .
