Hi Mike,

You: Carmel, I just typed “glad it was empty” into the search box, and here’s what I saw on the first page of results…

Mike, I REPEAT AGAIN WHAT I POSTED IN MY LAST POST I’M AFRAID!

ME: YOU ARE A GENIUS WITH RESPECT TO

YOUR CARNAL-MINDED REASONING!

NOW FROM GOD’S REASONING 

GO BACK AND SEARCH THE ENTIRE SCRIPTURE AND FURNISH AT…[Read more]

Hi Danny,

You said:

Yes, they are a unity but I don’t think
they are a Yahweh unity.
Because Yahweh is the Father. Jesus is His Son.
Two separate individuals.

You do realize that I agree that the Father and the Son are two separate individuals, right? I happen to believe that the Father gave his name “Yahweh” to his son, like some fathers do (…[Read more]

Hi LU,

Yes, they are a unity but I don’t think
they are a Yahweh unity.
Because Yahweh is the Father. Jesus is His Son.
Two separate individuals.
Are they a divine unity? Well, Jesus is certainly now divine.
So you can say that.
But I have to be honest with you.
At the moment I’m leaning towards Unitarianism.
Maybe I’m wrong.
I still try to…[Read more]

Mike…..look up the word used there as “first”  it actually means “foremost” or, THE ONE BEFORE, as in  the former one,   it’s not implying the first one “ever” created as you falsely,  “assume”.  But even if it was the only one ever created, that still dosen’t say it had never been reworked at different times in the past, by God,  now does it?

Hi to all

Daily Devotional

In a violent world, where dictators have nothing to do with human rights, various international bodies try to assert human rights.

Even if some nations have signed the charter of human rights, autocratic rulers tend not to respect these rights for their fellow citizens, as the testimony of this Chinese Christian…[Read more]

Mike,

You asked:

Jesus is one of God’s many heavenly sons.  He is a son of God.  Why?  Do you believe that Jesus is God’s only son?

Is Jesus the only begotten son of God or one of many begotten sons of God?

Mike,

You asked:

I’m also waiting for you to tell me which particular word in Gen 1:1 refers to a person/persons.

elohim

Mike,

You asked:

 …why Peter and John, in their prayer in Acts 4, identify Jesus as the servant of the God who created the heaven, earth, sea, and all that is in them – not the Creator of those things… and as the anointed one of the Yahweh against whom the nations rage – and not Yahweh Himself.

Like a missionary is a servant of the church…[Read more]

Mike,

You said:

It appears that most of the commentators say it is about Jesus…

It is applied to Jesus, for sure but in the sense as one of the kings in the line of the Davidic kings so, yes, it is applied to Jesus as the ultimate Davidic son turned king but it is applied to others in the line of the Davidic kings also.

LU:  Mike, when the word following dia is genitive and a person, then “by” can be used…

But “through” can also be used – and IS used MUCH more often than the handful of very old translations that have “by”, right?

But instead of straining the gnat and swallowing the camel, how about you address post #932011 – six posts above this one?  Thank…[Read more]

LU:  Psalm 2:7 actually is about the Davidic/Son/king Covenant when the offspring of David is installed as king in line with the promise to David. It is not about the firstborn sonship before creation. So we are not told when the firstborn became the firstborn before creation.

It appears that most of the commentators say it is about…[Read more]

Carmel, I just typed “glad it was empty” into the search box, and here’s what I saw on the first page of results…

Should I try “happy it was empty” now?  How about “thank God it was empty”?

Your claim is debunked.  “Void” and “empty” are neither good nor bad in and of themselves.

Mike,

You said:

Matthew 7:13… Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

All underlined words are genitive.  Certainly this doesn’t mean that the gate is the “instrument” that does the actual entering for us, right?

Mike, when the word following dia is genitive a…[Read more]

Danny,

Thank you for this post of answers to my questions:

Hi LU,

In this post I will answer the remaining questions from your list.

Is the Lord Jesus and God the father one? Yes or No.

Yes. John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Danny, can you tell me of a higher unity in heaven or on earth?

No. Jesus and His Father are the highest unity there…

Mike,

You said:

We are actually told about the moment that this event occurred with God and His firstborn Son Jesus in the scriptures…

Psalm 2:7…  I will proclaim Yahweh’s decree:  He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.”

We learn from this psalm that there was a time when God had no son, and therefore wasn’t a fat…

Hi LU,

I answered your remaining questions.
You can find my answers in #post-931992
Do you have any comments?

God bless

Mike……you asked, which paticular word in Gen1:1 indicated that a person created the heavens and the earth?   There is no paticular word there which identifies which person or  God, created the heavens and the earth.  That is supplied later in the text as the “LORD” GOD.  The LORD being the “person” your asking for.

You still can’t get it into…[Read more]

Carmel: AN EMPTY AND VOID STATE” … A POSITIVE STATE… AND ALWAYS
NEGATIVE!
I shortened your 30 word point into something more understandable.  Here is my reply…
ME: WHAT’S THE USE SINCE YOU NEVER MAINTAINED WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING!
SCRIPTURES!
“The burrito I scarfed down gave me severe stomach cramps until I voided my bowels, rendering them empty.”…[Read more]

Hi to all

Daily Devotional

WHEN YOU ARE SERIOUSLY TEMPTED, LOOK TO JESUS

He sat down under a broom, and asked for death, saying: That is enough! Now, Lord, take my soul, for I am no better than my fathers. (1 Kings 19.4)

Jesus is afflicted by all our sufferings. The General of our salvation has been made perfect through suffering. During our…[Read more]

You’re not going to believe this… but after 50 days of Proclaimer being unable to find an answer that was one day and one post removed from his question, and to which he’s had the actual post number for over a month, he has FINALLY located it!

Now let’s just hope it doesn’t take him another 50 days to answer my next question! 🙏🙏🙏
