    Jesus is God !

    Yes I do. 1 Corinthians 6:3, but for now, Hebrew 2:7,9 says we are lower (and disqualified now in sin as Hebrews 2 continues). Rather 'the work of His hands.' I can see angels in that, but we also have to draw, I believe in this instance, from Genesis because it is when man was 'put in...

    Jesus is God !

    One set of scriptures at a time. I appreciate you believe that, but you have to (please) try and remember we are 'partially' arian in our name. It means we don't quite trample as bad as Unitarians do, us. You already believe Jesus is God in some qualified sort. It is the "Jesus is not...

    Jesus is God !

    1 Corinthians 8:5 We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one. 5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords), 6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came...

    Have I gone MAD???

    Thank you for this information as well. We don't have to agree with everything a particular theologian says, to appreciate them either. Men of God who have rendered us all a service still get 'well done.' As I've read a bit of his commentaries, I'm not on page with everything he believes...

    Have I gone MAD???

    Hmmm. It seems it didn't cross over in the move well? :idunno: Thanks for the heads up.

    Yes. Thank you for letting me have a small preliminary go. I'll sit back and read awhile while you drive. In Him -Lon

    Good question. I'll answer. Let me put it back into that thread so as not to disrupt TG's here.

    The Heresy Jehovah’s Witnesses

    You are perfectly within your rights to do so 🆙 Oddly, I've NO idea what your question is, but I'm fine with that. It keeps these threads tidy and clean. I'm fine with you ignoring me. Do you believe you may have some prima donna (prime donne) tendencies? 🤔

    The Heresy Jehovah’s Witnesses

    Contextually, it does damage to the the Gospel. John isn't waxing poetic, his SOLE purpose in writing his gospel, inspired by God, is to introduce Jesus. John 20:30,31 Verse one is "Jesus" introduction. John calls Jesus "Word of God" through his epistles and Revelation 19:13 where he...

    Ask Sherman

    Take time on this one (nothing pressing with all the other needs on forum). 1) is there a way to 'manage' Conversations like deleting a few? 2) Do we need to do so? Is there still a bandwidth/storage issue? 3) Does XenForo have tutorials that might cover some of this so you aren't...

    Jesus is God !

    I'm not sure I'll ever quite 'get you,' Trevor. You are a bit of an enigma.

    The Heresy Jehovah’s Witnesses

    In a conversation about Biblical accuracy? Not really going to happen. Perhaps you are in the wrong thread? Not true. I don't care if 'you don't like it.' You don't get to make up your own facts. We were discussing whether what you said was 'irrefutable' and such has gone too far. It...

    Jesus is God !

    Er, what would I use? Fancy Greek? Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος. (actually just common Koine Greek). A lot of intellectual term like Hypostatic Union or Antidisestablishmentarianism? Perhaps a copy of my diplomas? Maybe I'm just not working hard...

    The Heresy Jehovah’s Witnesses

    No. Unlike many I can actually read Greek, often with my Greek handbook, but John 1:1 I can translate from memory. "Jesus" would be a thought for thought translation. John repeatedly calls the Lord Jesus Christ 'the Word of God' thus 'his' translation of his own terms. That you disdain...

    The Heresy Jehovah’s Witnesses

    There is a need to be careful with true statements. There is not a possibility of 'kinda' and irrefutable in the same sentence. The need is rather to observe what is given and scripture with an attempt to go no further, or at least to make it clear when we are giving our own thoughts...

    Jesus is God !

    Sigh, I know you believe it. It isn't true, but I know what you believe. Understood. You've a long lonely road ahead of you as you Maverick through your theology... Sadly, I realize that too. There is very little to talk about with you. You make up your own mind with very few tools to do...

    Jesus is God !

    Essence. He's using it correctly (good to see you Pneuma). How do you use it? Colossians 1:27 🤔 Man separated from God is certainly broken thus the need and reason for Christ, but if originally immortal, and there is every reason to think so since 'death impermanence was the curse, then...

    Jesus is God !

    There are a good many of those from fragments. There is no 'forensic' but rather deduction when trying to piece together differences from manuscript. Again, such points to deduction on the part of any scholar which is not forensic. It is 'an educated guess.' Frankly, we don't know why there...

    60%? 3,4,5th Tax, on already 2nd taxed, taxes?

    Federal can be between 20-40%. Not only is your paycheck taxed, your employer also pays your tax too (Payroll taxes). It amounts to income that could be paid to a raise, thus is well over 40-60% of your income, off the bat. Then there is house tax, sales tax, capital gains taxes, etc. I...

    Why Homosexuality MUST Be Recriminalized! Part 6

    I don't think your threads need to focus so much on the ancillary, Donald Trump. I simply think he plays to crowds and that his rainbow flag was par. He repealed a couple of Obama's laws that favored them. For me? Neither here nor there, but if I read your thread, it is generally to be...
