    Hi gadam123,

    You said:

    I know you will not leave me freely with your unending questions.

    Are my questions bothering you?

    You said that Jesus might be a historical person of the first century, why “might be?”

    Also, are you aware of there being many testimonies of NDE’s from people who were clinically dead but came back to life?

    AN AMAZING FACT: Researchers studying walleye vision found that orange is the color most visible to walleyes, followed by yellow and yellow green. Surprisingly, red is the least visible color. No wonder you find so many orange and chartreuse lures in the tackle boxes of savvy walleye anglers.
    Another interesting fact…[Read more]

    Hi Danny,

    I’m glad that you feel you can understand my position. What do you agree with and what do you question/disagree with?

    I’m happy to pray for your search 🙂

    May the LORD bless you, LU

    Hi LU,

    Thanks. I can understand your position.
    I only gave you my thoughts.
    But, as I said, maybe I’m wrong.
    Yahweh can surely be a family name of the Father and the Son.
    I cannot deny that.
    Anyway, thanks for your prayer.
    I appreciate it.

    God bless

    Mike……Your Job here is to prove to us  there are many “true” God/gods,  other then the ONE, “PERSON”  we call, the LORD, Yahovah/yehweh.

    You have to disprove God the Father himself,  that when he said he looked for other God’s /god’s he found none.

    Isa 43:3……“for “I” Am the “LORD”  “your” “God”, the Holy one of Israel , your SAVIOUR. :[Read more]

    The brain is amazing and does die and decay. However, the soul is what I am asking about that goes on to an afterlife.

    Do you believe that there actually was a man named Jesus of Nazareth? Do your historians believe this?

    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), INCLUDING THEIR CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE INDICATION THAT THE “DAYS” IN QUESTION ARE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, NOT LITERAL DAYS.

    I take it this is the question. i will look at this next when I have some time. Thanks.

    Incorrect. What I’ve been arguing is that the Hebrew word “yowm” is used EXACTLY like the English word “day” is used.  Its default meaning is a 24-hour period (or the 12-hour daylight portion thereof).  But “yowm” is also used idiomatically, just like “day” is used.

    Amen! Yes you got the point. A day is not strictly 24 hours. A day for God is LIK…[Read more]

    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!

    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]

    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?

    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.

    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]

    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.
