Jodi: Why didn’t the author just use the same word then, if it is suppose to read Abraham existed, I existed?

Because two different words are used that leaves an opening that the author speaking God’s word used two different words for the very purpose to establish a distinction.

There is a distinction.  Just like I have the choice of saying, …[Read more]

Mike: “In which part of Jesus’ response, exactly, is Jesus saying he is greater than Abraham? Which exact words?”

“Do you acknowledge that IF we translated the last part of 8:58 as a historical present, the EXACT phrase would be, “before Abraham existed, I existed”? Yes or No, please?”

 

Jodi:  NO

I wasn’t able to find a direct answer to that…[Read more]

Hi LU,

YOU:

Believers would not be named YHVH anymore than the members of Israel all being named Israel. They are of Israel and also called Israelites.

Also, many sons have the first name of their father but not all the sons of that father are given the first name of the father.

Hence, Jesus was given the name of His Father…YHVH. There is no p…[Read more]

Mike: PROCLAIMER, DOES THE PLURAL WORD “DAYS” EVER REFER TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN LITERAL DAYS IN THE BIBLE?  YES OR NO?  AND IF YES, SHOW THE SCRIPTURE(S) IN WHICH IT IS EXPLICITLY AND UNDENIABLY MADE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT THESE DAYS ARE INDEED SOMETHING OTHER THAN LITERAL DAYS.

The first time I asked it, you ignored it.

The second time I asked…

Okay.  Just remember to include the scriptures that deal with zooming things back up over the horizon when you ask your question.

Berean: The point is that YOU keep thinking that the raqia OF heaven is the entirety of heaven when it’s not.  The raqia OF heaven is NOT the first heaven where the clouds are.  The raqia OF heaven is not the third heaven where God dwells – outside of the physical world He created for us.  The raqia is ONLY the second heaven, where the sun, mo…

Gene:  Mike ……Answer to you question is 1…yes, 2…yes, and 3… no.   There you go, now that i have answered your question…

Sorry Gene, but I’m going to need a valid REASON/EXPLANATION for your “No” answer on #3… or at least a DUPLICATION of the same answer for the following analogy so that we know you are being consistent, and not just flat ou…[Read more]

Mike ……Answer to you question is 1…yes, 2…yes, and 3… no.   There you go, now that i have answered your question,  Now go and tell us, your rendition of the truth about the ISS , “THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION , THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE GOING AROUND THE EARTH 24 HOURS A DAY, which we can, “all” see,  with a cheap pair of benoclurs, eve…[Read more]

Hi LU,

Just now noticing that you posted on our discussion!

The fact that we read,

16 And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

does not mitigate whatsoever that verse 1 tells us that we are being given THE BOOK OF Jesus Christ’s Genesis/origin-ancestry for the very purpose to show that Jesus is…[Read more]

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional

DOESN’T THE BIBLE SUPPORT THE DRINKING OF WINE? PART 1

It is often argued that the wine the apostle Paul recommends to the disciple Timothy in this passage is alcoholic. Yet this is false for many reasons: First, the Greek word oinos is used and can denote either fermented or unfermented grape j…[Read more]

Prove me wrong!

I can’t quite tell if this one is a matter of your stupidity or your dishonesty.  Sometimes it’s very hard to tell when someone is equally stupid and dishonest.

A scientific model is never said to “PREDICT” a phenomenon that is already known, often observed, and well studied.…

Hi Mike,

YOU: Great. I read all your scriptures, and didn’t see any of them that refer to Abraham rejoicing to see Jesus’ day. Just like you finally acknowledged that there are no prophesies to Abraham about a future ruler, you’ll have to honestly acknowledge that there are no scriptures that say Abraham rejoiced to see Jesus’ day.

Me: That is wr…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

You don’t think that the day Jesus was talking about that the prophet Abraham saw, was the day spoken of in the below passages?

Malachi 4:1-2 “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so tha…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

Sorry but you failed again.

PLEASE directly speak to these words,

Matthew 1:1 1 The book of the generation(Genesis/origin) of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob and Jacob begat Judas…..and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; And Jacob…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

Worry I forgot to include at the beginning of my past post NO, so I went back up and added it.

Mike: A model that came thousands of years AFTER a phenomenon that had already been witnessed by BILLIONS of people cannot possibly be said to “PREDICT” that phenomenon.

 

Pretender:  Reality check.

Tomorrow, the sun will set according to the heliocentric model so yes it predicts.

Pretender:  I am not sure of the point being made.

Of course you’re not, because Danny didn’t take you by the hand and dumb things down for you, or make you a cartoon.
