So he was a God-Man when he walked the earth?

The scriptures are clear that he was a man. Not a God or the God.

There is a such thing as your delusion though.

I have banned Google.

Let’s see how this works out.

With a brief skim through your post, I don’t think you can prove that the Son emptied himself of his original nature. I would challenge that. I would say that while being in the form of God, he emptied himself in some undisclosed manner in order to come in the form of man. I don’t believe for one minute that one can empty themselves of their…[Read more]

You are free to believe in two Gods.

I believe that post about John 1c is about two different persons who are both referred to as theos.

Thanks for letting me know. It wouldn’t affect you then.

I usually use Chrome as my browser. I have HN on my toolbar. I don’t need to search for it. Does that mean anything to you?

Do any regular members use Google to find this site?

I will probably turn this into a writing. So post your objections to help eliminate any possible error.

He is defending the translation of  “the Word was God” as in a person with the same essence and nature of the God whom he was with, therefore God with God. In other words, the only begotten God was with God his Father in the beginning.

Proclaimer, you used this link https://www.ntgreek.org/answers/answer-frame-john1_1.htm to defend your understanding of John 1:1c but that link does not defend your position at all. This is what the writer of that’s summation is proclaiming:

“…the word ‘God’ is used first in the sentence actually shows some emphasis that this Logos (Word) was…[Read more]

When reading scripture, we need to be more sophisticated and to look carefully at the detail. This matters.

Spoken about the Son, the only begotten God:

“In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

11They will perish, but You remain;

they will all wear out like a g…[Read more]

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

It is not a title from the book of Genesis, although it could have been.

Apparently God created the heavens…. (first)

Is this really the case when we consider verse 2 from the human point of view?

Rev 21:23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Read it carefully. It is not saying that the earth will have no sun or moon. Rather that God is light and thus the light is probably a candle compared to the light of God. It is not necessary for light like…[Read more]

How about this, the “light” was the glory of God on day one as it entered the dimension of creation. The sun did not appear until day four when it was created.

Before the closing of Day 1, God created the heavens and the earth. Day 4 has the sun, moon, and stars in the vault. Not in the universe.

Berean, good post!

Proclaimer said: “The sun was already created as it is part of the universe. What happens on Day 4, is that they appear in the vault.”

How about this, the “light” was the glory of God on day one as it entered the dimension of creation. The sun did not appear until day four when it was created.
