A science claim is never to be taken as un-provable truth, we aren't supposed to use it to 'negate' but to 'check.' Science is MUCH more fluid than theology. As to 'in' the Bible: This isn't true, Caino. I've told you often where your Urantia thread has clearly disparaged the Lord Jesus...

A lot of people agree with you BUT I believe God's words stand as true on both levels. When God first gave that name to Moses, it truly was 'Am.' Any use of it after shows timelessness. Importantly, Jesus qualified it Himself: "Before Abraham was." While I never want the Name lost as...

If you'll also recall, I said that it cannot be because John 1:3 Emphatically says these 3 things: 1) Through him all things were made While you 'might' have been able to suggest a broader or limited sense with just this first part of the verse, note one thing from here: The Greek uses Auto...

Excellent job. Bob Hill or Bob Enyart's? Who is the author and let them know they did an exceptional job for me. -Lon

I did have a couple of larger disagreements with that commentary. I do think he wrote well. There are a good many points in that commentary that just don't quite add-up for me. I think I have a bit of my response to it somewhere. I'll try and find it (lost another computer a couple of...

Not sure if you'll find this good info, but I do think you'll enjoy it at least: Jews do not say the N-me (G-d's name). Jehovah is made from the consonants JHVW (or Y in place of J). The vowel points from "YaHWeH" were removed and the vowel points from Adonai were placed in instead...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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? 🤔

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...
