Paul,
Knowledge is well, but having Love in your heart and spirit is so much more important. Wisdom comes with age. Keep your good memories close to your heart!

Hi PJ, I just thought I would see how many blogs you had. 33 is low for as many years as you've been here. If I would have known how to do it sooner, I would have many more. Most of our posts get lost in all the shuffle and not read but by a few people. It's a real bummer, but what can you do. Blogs seems to be the very best way to handle it. I hope this is posting on your board and mine. Not a PM this time! Keep believing in Jesus, pj!!

Much Love In Christ,
Michael

Freelight, I see what you mean now. Wow, it's easier than I thought! I didn't even know what a blog was until today!! Thanks tons, senor!!
God's Best For You!!

So Paul, you can only blog one post at a time?? Can't you post one Thread at a time? Oh well, it is okay. I can think of a few other blogs that I'd like to have, so I'll have to get those also. I thought that you had your UB blogged? No? Your Urantia Pages are blogged? Oh well, it all goes over my head. LOL. Enjoy each day, pj!!

Michael

Thank you for the rep... especially since I would have missed Joseph's post to me if you hadn't.

Bless you, Freelight!

Super!

Namaste

Hmmm, don't quote me on that previous statement because I just checked Psalm 45:6 and that is not likely what it implies. However there are places where the article is included, "ha-Elohim", and since Hebrew does not tolerate the article with personal pronouns, (proper names), those instances may be understood simply as "the elohim", (meaning angels, messengers, judges, etc.). But just as Elohim without an article is quoted from Psalm 8:5 and rendered aggelos in both the Septuagint and the epistle to the Hebrews, even without the article sometimes we see that elohim can mean messengers or angels, (but in the Psalm 8:5 instance the mem, (out-of/from/than), at the beginning of the word elohim may actually be filling in for what would have been the article).

Continued: Gen 1:26a ~ "And ho Theos said, Let US make man according to OUR image". See how Theos is employed as a compound unity by the context? Most fail to recognize this fact and rather force Greek rules on what is essentially a "loan word" from Greek used to describe the compound unity and-or majestic plural "Elohim" in Hebrew. This creates a gaping hole in John 1:1 because TON THEON is found there, (which could mean THE ELOHIM-ANGELS), but the article "ton" in that passage is always omitted because of the practice of rendering ho Theos, ton Theon, etc., simply as "God" in English. What could this mean for Heb 1:8? The reading may very well be, "the Elohim are thy throne", (for the kingdom of Elohim is with us and we are called elohim! [those to whom the Logos of Elohim has come]).

Hi Freelight, now having read the JW link I can say, yes, it surely is an acceptable translation imo, ("God is thy throne"), but I must say that after reading most of all three links I do not see any mention of what would blow this whole thing out of the water, and that is, the fact that Elohim is essentially what is called a compound unity though it is most often rendered in the singular. When the LXX was rendered they used Theos in the same exact way in Genesis 1:26. Undertsand what this means? They are using Theos just as Elohim is used even though it is a Greek word! This reply is too long so I will continue it next.

If ur interested to see my reason and logic of rejecting ECT....I've given u a link to a good portion of earlier commentary and plenty shared recently. I tire of going over the same stuff, but do my share of creative dialogue anyways. I do not fear a fictitious caricature of 'God'.....plain and simple and do not hold the Bible as being the sole or final authority in such matters because it's not perfect. I respect a discussion within a biblical-context but as an eclectic I'm not limited to such definitions so may share material from other religious-philosophical schools on any given subject. There is also room for speculation on points within most schools of thought.

Well, that's debatable,....since a Unitarian view (some do of course hold to Christ's 'divinity' but its not exactly as orthodox creeds claim it) does respect Jesus as God's human/divine Son,...but you see we go back to the Christological debates of many centuries. I've had my own Unitarian/Arian threads and spared in plenty of Unitarian/Trinitarian discussions, and you know how those go - in any case,...each are entitled to their own 'Christology', and respective threads are a better place then here to go toe to toe

yes. i use a touch reverse humor psychology, very unique - it really only works in person with my wonderful face and smile - all praise and glory to God !!! -

did i say it in public ? you are an emotional wreck and you put your tantrums in public view. yes, you're too serious for me, good day -

yes I did, I know u have a warped sense of humor....but some of us are more serious types. I'd just not prefer when I'm very generous being called 'stingy',...or were u just saying that because I was NOT being stingy. kind of a reverse psychology thing? See more of my recent reps too :surf:

lol, i told you you have no concept of my humor. it's dry - you can understand complex concepts, but not funny comments. you went off !!! LOL - ROTFL :chuckle: K: :spam: :argue::dog::zoomin::first::box::shut:

Thanks for the "BUFFOON" title! It gave me a hearty
giggle this morning when I read it! LOL!!! You've
promised to stay off my thread now, remember
that!! I'll hold you to it! A man is only as good
as his word! Have a nice day? Say hello to your
little green men for me!

You're in denial Freelight! We ALL know where you get
your information! The little green men in their UFOs
telepathically transmit what they want you to think
and say! You're merely a 'puppet' for these 'Unearthly'
creatures from another Galaxy! It's time for you to
admit this to yourself and to the populace of this planet!!

Hey, I'm going to go try to fix Yahoo Messenger.
