Greetings again Lon, I am not sure whether you are speaking to keypurr or me. I do not endorse what keypurr has stated as I have been mainly stating what I have learnt in my environment and mainly my specific fellowship, nothing very outstanding, but bread and butter in my fellowship. But...

The Yahweh Name (cont’d) The previous two Posts established that Yahweh is the One God who acted to deliver Israel out of Egypt. There are many passages after these events where the Yahweh Name appears and perhaps one of the most important of these is mentioned below, and this is extensively...

Greetings JudgeRightly and Greetings again Right Divider, I am of the persuasion that it was Paul. The Letter to the Hebrews was specifically written to the Hebrew Christians who were in danger of sliding back into Judaism as the events of AD 70 started to develop, and the exhortation to go...

Greetings again Right Divider, The Letter to the Hebrews possibly is written by Paul, but the following is where the title “Son of Man” appears, and considered together with Psalm 80:17, both are talking about Jesus, his humanity, and his being strengthened by God to achieve salvation. Hebrews...

Greetings Right Divider, John 12:20-26 (KJV): 20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and...

Greetings Tigger 2, I understand that the difference is that "Ehyeh", "I will be" is the first person singular and "Yahweh", "He will be" or "He who will be" is the third person singular. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings Bradley D, Yes, we need to grow, and it is a lifetime pursuit that we do not fully arrive at. You may be interested in the use of the two different words for "love" in this passage, and it helps to understand what Jesus is saying and seeking to achieve here better. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again Lon, No, I do not believe in the pre-existence of Jesus. I would possibly suggest that Jesus is saying that he was part of the plan and purpose of God before Abraham, Genesis 3:15 for example. I therefore carry over the "I am he" as being the same as John 8:24,28. My...

Greetings again Lon, I suggest that a correct understanding of the whole passage and context including the earlier interaction in John 8 about being children of Abraham and the usage of the same phrase in John 8:24 and John 8:28 helps. Also my impression on how Trinitarians understand John...

Greetings again Lon, I disagree as I accept that there is a definite flow of the same idea from John 8:24,28 to John 8:58 and this theme starts in John 1 and ends at John 20:31. Also I do not accept the accents shown in the modern Greek NT texts, as these were not part of the original, and the...

Greetings again Lon, There are in my understanding two different views on Exodus 3:14. One is the present tense and speaks of God's present existence and possibly could, but especially with God would include his future existence. The other view is not speaking of God's existence, but of course...

Greetings again Lon, I accept "I will be, He will be" as the correct meaning from the tense and the context is also supported by Exodus 3:12 and Exodus 6:1-8.. As far as the tense is concerned, one of my mentors used to refer to the listing of "Ehyeh" under the "future tense" in the print...

Greetings again Lon, The scholars who I have read state that "Ehyeh" in Exodus 3:14 is best represented by "I will be" the same as Exodus 3:12 and also necessitated by what is stated in Exodus 6:1-8, rather than speculating the full range of tenses and ideas relating to the state of...

Greetings again Lon, I am not sure if you are agreeing that the correct translation is “I will be”, or that “I AM” is acceptable and that you prefer this based on what you say in the rest of your post. Yes, but I suggest that the real reason is that Trinitarians are not really interested in...

Greetings again Lon, I was introduced to the subject of the Yahweh Name at a Young People's weekend when I was 19, and the youth leader also prompted a few more aspects in the years following. This has been an interest ever since, and some of my understanding has been consolidated as a result...

Greetings again Lon, I am content at the moment with three Hebrew scholars in my fellowship, two from many years ago, and one present. When I first joined a forum 17 years ago he had a long running thread on the Yahweh Name and had three or four Trinitarians opposing his understanding of the...

Greetings again Lon, I am not troubled by statistics or the layman label, except to say that I am concerned that few accept what I believe is the truth. I repeat that I would consider it very difficult to convince a Christadelphian that the Trinity is correct. My daughter could not continue...

Greetings again Lon, I will still maintain my view of this, partly based upon the fact that Psalm 8:4-6 is spoken in the past tense. God speaks as if it is already accomplished, and Jesus enters into the same thinking, the same assurance that he will overcome sin, will be crucified, will die...

Greetings again Lon, Life eternal depends upon coming to know God and Jesus. I do not read any equivalence here, but two beings. And is and. Jesus is talking to God, His Father. I could not follow what the article is trying to teach, but did not spend much time on this. "Sent" implies that...

Greetings again Lon, I find some of the terms of John 17:3-5 are interesting, and I doubt that it is teaching the Trinitarian or Arian concepts, or of the pre-existence of Jesus as God the Son or the Son of God. John 17:3–5 (KJV): 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only...
