    What is Jesus saying here?

    Nope. This IS the Unitarian/Arian mistake. You guys do not seem to grasp context. There is a large difference between texts and you missed it. Fact. Skipping texts is proof-texting. You are proof-texting OUT OF CONTEXT! It IS the reason theologies aren't orthodox. You simply must be...

    Jesus is God !

    Changing the subject? Why does this matter? Anybody with a concordance or a bit of Bible education can either remember or look it up. A better question is 'Why do Arians/Unitarians need to so often do a 'set up' with rationalizations of men?' What is abundantly clear is simply this...

    Jesus is God !

    Louis Klopsch was the owner of a printing business and capable editor. The credentials behind the red letters are his ability as editor where grammar is taxed daily as well as his reliability upon scholars and theologians. While these theologians aren't named, Klopsch, as an editor had many...

    What is Jesus saying here?

    Disagree. He is standing if front of them. You are making a point of contest, it seems, for a theological construct. Simply read the scriptures. None of us needs to be so entwined with our theology ideas, that God cannot change them. Our sole focus is to be His and His faithfully. Simply...

    Jesus is God !

    Incorrect. There is no indication John 'switched' to commentary mode. That is an EXTRA-BIBLICAL construct.

    Jesus is God !

    Ouch! Hilltrot said if Jesus spoke of Himself in the third person, He was insane??? Lon doesn't often refer to himself in the third person, but if he ever did (like here) it is NOT the mark of insanity. It is a literary device with a purpose: "The Son of man did not come to be...

    Jesus is God !

    No, you just have to believe Philippians 2 No, It was written by Paul in Philippians. True, every disciple was put to death. John 20:28 Thomas said to Jesus, "You are the Lord and You are the God of me." YOU Unitarians have to explain to God one day why you ignored His scriptures. They...

    Jesus is God !

    Ah, so you weren't telling the truth in that other thread. You really have heard verses about Jesus being God "thought it not robbery to be equal." Are you actually an honest person, Hilltrot? Deal with scriptures like a truthful man instead of theological worming and squirming. Just a...

    What is Jesus saying here?

    You, aren't accurate. There is a difference between that and 'projecting' 💫

    What is Jesus saying here?

    It rather 'shows' and expresses that way. You cannot make a statement that 'before' such and something "am." Am is a PRESENT verb and Jesus is expressing it both as then (HE chose 'before') AND now. You simply are committing to constructs without thought for implication. It means 1) you...

    What is Jesus saying here?

    I don't see how this is possible. Do you have an incredibly narrow reading on TOL? It appears blatantly untrue. There are many posts, let alone a 'single instance.' To me, it seems willfully ignorant and dishonest to say something on this scale.

    Jesus is God !

    Just read this in my devotions yesterday: Luke 11:27,28 27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” 28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” Also: Matthew 12:46-50 46...

    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    Not just what you 'feel' but a fair assessment. Agree. As I said, a fair assessment. It seems on par with Mormonism and Scientology to me 🤔

    On the omniscience of God

    For the most part, this discussion is about 'containers.' Containers 'hold or contain' things. For God to not know something means there is a container He didn't create nor is a part of. Unless one wants to contest: Infinite means by definition 'nothing else' and 'all that there is.'...

    Our Moral God

    Not quite the equation (if you'll allow, and thank you for a moment). If God 'is' love, it means that all that 'is' love is contained in His being, thus it is ancillary, not identity by principle. What it means is, "God is the definition of 'love,'" but love isn't the 'all' of the expression...

    Jesus is God !

    True, not to mention the first wasn't a 'prayer.' The second, John 17:3? You are correct, "Kia" ('and') is a connector grammatically. This is 'why' (scripture givens) we are Trinit-arian (both/somehow one). Scripture says it.

    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    They aren't honking huge discrepancies. Even at the beginning, there were 7 church[es]. While many don't like denominations, it is not bad. Try to pass a $100 bill at a convenience store, sometimes they don't have change because the "denomination" is too big. It isn't always a bad thing...

    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    Er, no. I was just like you. "Love Is All You Need" and "Imagine" is the sentiment of all mankind. You are just spouting a theology of liberalism and "Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together and try to love one another right now." While it is a good call, it isn't...
