"In nomine patre, et fili, et espritu sancti, amen"
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen. :mrgreen:
Easy peasy, nomine = name, patre = father, fili = son, spiritu = spirit, sancti = holy (sanctuary,eh? :mrgreen:), et = and (et cetera - and so on).... Basically, English's core is Latin, so yeah, you can see the similarities.

Btw, https://translate.google.com/ can help if you don't know some words. Don't translate sentence(s) or paragraphs, though. It tends to get pretty bad if you do so.

Dominus vobiscum. :mrgreen:
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.

Read John 4:24

Also, answer the question above.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.

As answered by many people before "In nomine patre, et fili, et spirtus sancti" is "In the name of the Father, of the Son, and the Holy Spirit"
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
- Jesus Christ

Disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged, there's a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have, hostility is not from God, bitterness, unforgiveness, all of these are attacks from Satan.

Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense. :) Prayer is made possible Through the Trinity. We are praying to God made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ / He is our mediator / and the Holy Spirit comes to indwell each believer at the instant of his/her heart belief. With the heart a person believes and it's to be expressed verbally.

Well said Brother, the Holy Spirit dwells in us when we believe in the Son and pray to the Father

I'm not sure we're saying the same thing. When a person believes in his heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for 'my' sin / I accept /believe on a personal level / in my heart / that nothing I do is needed to help the process of salvation along. and then 'I' confess with my mouth, the Lord Jesus. Then the Holy Spirit comes to indwell 'me' -- I become a born-again believer.

So -- it's not simply 'believe in the Son' -- it's what we believe About Him.

Actually -- I'm not Brother / I'm Sister in Christ. :)
