Adam…….Remember Jesus spoke in parables to them, so they could not understand what he was really saying,

When Jesus said, “he called them  God’s unto whom,  the word of God came”, you need to understand that,  as him meanning that,  in a possessive sence, they were God’s people , to whom the word of God came.  get it brother? , Jesus was not eve…

Origin of worship of Yahweh…(continued)

The Mosaic theory:- In lack of sufficient evidence in support of the theory of J that Yahweh was the primitive deity of Israel, we turn to a consideration of the rival theory of E and P that he first became the god of Israel at the time of the exodus. This tradition has been accepted by Riehm, Dillmann,…[Read more]

Thanks for that commentary, Berean!  Let’s scrutinize it together and see which parts hold water and which ones don’t.

a. Jesus answered them: The religious leaders surrounded Jesus (John 10:24) and now held rocks to stone Him to death (John 10:31). Jesus didn’t panic and didn’t run; He stopped them with the power of His word. He answered them…

Mike…….simple answer, because the word of God “was and is” always God, Just as your words was and alway is you.  God’s words is how he expresses himself, just as your words do you. 

The word simply means (intellegent utterance)  and it “was,” in the beginning (existing) with God and was God, in the beginning. JUST AS YOUR WORDS (int…[Read more]

If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came: Jesus reasoned, “If God gave these unjust judges the title ‘gods’ because of their office, why do you consider it blasphemy that I call Myself the ‘Son of God’ in light of the testimony of Me and My works?”

Hi Berean, our Mike will not agree with interpretation of Jesus, the so called Mess…[Read more]

To all

(34-39) Jesus reasons from Psalm 82, and from His works.
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am…[Read more]

Anyone else notice that Proclaimer has been absent for 3 weeks?  He’s posted a couple of links and memes, but he hasn’t engaged in any discussions here in a long time.  I believe it’s because he is stuck.  He can’t answer my questions from our private thread, but he also knows that I will continue to call him out for dishonorably breaking his ow…[Read more]

Okay, here’s where we are…

This is my previous Must Answer question from 3 weeks ago that still remains unanswered…
PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCE THAT THE SUN, MOON AND STARS ALREADY EXISTED BEFORE GOD MADE THEM ON DAY FOUR… OR OPENLY ACNKOWLEDGE THAT NO SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCE FOR YOUR CLAIMS EXISTS.
Here’s my next oldest “Must Answer”…[Read more]

Okay, back to the actual REASON for this thread…

We’ve all agreed that “angels” are called gods in scripture.  We’ve all come to know that when Yahweh says there is no god besides Him, it is an emphatical statement and not meant to be taken literally – since He Himself calls others gods all throughout the scriptures.  Likewise, when Yahweh s…[Read more]

Danny: Hi Adam,

I’m afraid you will never find the truth based on the historians and
archaeologist’s arguments through critical analysis.

If you want the truth, then read the Bible!
The Bible clearly says that Yahweh is EL!

These liberal scholars that speak contrary to the Bible are wrong.
The Bible is our source for all truth even hist…

Adam: The theological position of the Tanakh is that the names Ēl and ‘Ĕlōhîm, when used in the singular to mean the supreme god, refer to Yahweh, beside whom other gods are supposed to be either nonexistent or insignificant.

The plural “elohim” is used in the singular to refer to many gods in the Bible, including Beelzebul, Chemosh, Molek, an…[Read more]

Mike:  Show me in the Hebrew texts the latter word “worship”. 

 

Adam:  Again your comment on my post mentioning Deut 4:19 is also ignorance of my arguments.

The text of Deut 4:19 (GNT) reads…

19 Do not be tempted to worship and serve what you see in the sky—the sun, the moon, and the stars. The Lord your God has given these to all other pe…

Adam, how did the “story” of Jesus, the Son of God who was sent down to the earth from heaven, come about?

Let’s start with the most obvious…  Did the man Jesus of Nazareth actually exist on earth?

Adam: Hi Mike, Yes Hebrew religion which is based on their Bible had evolved and developed from Polytheism to Monotheism as per the historians. If you don’t accept it’s your problem.

What does “as per the historians” actually mean, Adam?  What PROOF to “the historians” offer?  And do all “historians” agree with the conclusion at which YOUR histor…[Read more]

Mike: But Jesus could have also used the singular “day”(back in the day of Noah) to make his point.

 

Carmel:  Mike, NO HE COULDN’T! Jesus was specifically talking about Noah’s days, and He couldn’t use the singular form day…

First of all, you’re blatantly wrong…

Let’s begin by pointing out that the phrase “back in the day” has been around s…

Adam:  I am finding many answers to my life long queries on these ancient Biblical texts.

Are you really?  Perhaps you’d highlight the best “answers” you’ve found, so we can evaluate the crux of your position without having to read huge volumes of ignorant people spouting off about things they couldn’t possibly prove.  Here, I’ll get you st…[Read more]
