You demanded I "fill in the blanks" for a specific portion of John 1. I addressed that ENTIRE TEXT. Calling me a "liar" is in contrast to your rules. Don't do it again. I will address each of your errors independently. I proved that my point IS consistent with what the Bible says; John 6:63...

I have already addressed the entire text. Your reply was built upon errors, and the only way to unravel this disagreement is by taking it one point at a time. The specific error I addressed was your rejection of God's words being enlightening, and the world/cosmos/civilization of mankind failing...

My answer is a direct address of the actual point. If you don't think so, please explain.

There is no "sever". The majority of civilization is in darkness, meaning they do not comprehend God's words.

Thank you! Sorry for my lack of familiarity with the mechanics of this site. 8-)

I quoted your point: ... this verse is where trouble begins for you, because you've now defined "God's word" as life, and being the light of men.

That's not a problem at all. God's words ARE life, and light: John 6:63 .... the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. And, Jesus made it exquisitely clear the SOURCE of words he spoke: John 12:48-50 "For I did not speak on my own initiative, but the Father...

Yes. I am a bishop. My congregation's annual business meeting was today, and I was asked by the congregation to serve in the capacity of bishop again: 1 Tim 3:1-6 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the...

I don't believe you are correct. To the best of my knowledge I have addressed every Scripture you have provided. I am sure you weren't happy with my answers, but I have given detailed responses, addressing the points of the text. If this isn't true, I will be happy to address them one at a time...

If I answer your question, are you going to actually discuss the verses?

It's pretty obvious why you are trying to change the subject. If you REALLY are interested in truth, you would be willing to actually address the point. I'm going to give you another chance. Mark 2:9-12 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to...

You misunderstand Jesus' statement. Jesus was taking about the act of rising up out of the grave physically ... not about bringing himself back to life. Here is a great example using the exact same Greek word: Mark 2:9-12 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be...

John 3:13 is John's comment. But your point is still valid. No one has an "easy time understanding or believing" MOST of those elements of trinitarian theory that are unique to the trinity. (I keep saying "unique to the trinity" because of the annoying habit trinitarians have to point out the...

Not at all. The Jews killed Jesus, just as he predicted. Jesus stood up, and walked out of the tomb, just as he predicted. Please provide this alleged "Apostolic oral teaching". And, please explain EXACTLY how you think you agree with these "explicit" statements of Scripture paying particular...

Oops. Sorry, I clicked "post reply" somehow, before I could actually reply. Jesus DID raise up and walk out of that tomb. But Jesus did NOT make himself alive again. His GOD did that. Eph 1:17-20 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom...

As soon as Christ's God resurrected Jesus from the dead Jesus took up his life, right where he left off ..... Eph 1:17-20 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your...

You're missing quite a bit of information, so your response is inaccurate. Yes, the LXX translation, following Jewish tradition established AFTER the completion of the OT, does translate YHVH (which is Jehovah/Yehovah/Yahweh in English) as Kurios. But, they ALSO translated the Hebrew Adonai as...

Thank you all for the correspondence and the interest. I appreciate the "iron sharpens iron" exchange. Again, the background of this discussion is the clear reliance of the New Testament on the theology of the Jews. Jesus endorsed the Jewish knowledge of his God (John 4:20). The other NT...

Of course Jesus is Lord!!! His God MADE him, EXALTED him to be both Lord and the Christ; Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 5:30-31 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus...
