I want to take KJ to task on his latest false teaching that he brings here. KJ says that the God of this Age as written in 2 Corinthians 4:4 is YHWH and not Satan. Please no one else unless invited. Thanks.
My guess is that KJ teaches this because of his other major false teaching that Jesus Christ is God Almighty and he doesn't like any other use of the word God in scripture that is legitimate and yet does not refer to the Most High God. His reason could simply be to destroy one less proof verse that shows up his other false doctrine of the Trinity.
I suspect that he won't or at least doesn't want to debate me as he has lost badly before in this debate section and is likely to not want a repeat. If this is the case, then it will expose his lack of confidence in his own teaching and show that he is not ready to defend it. I will then challenge the next most prominent person who teaches this false doctrine if he refuses to debate with me on this.
My motive in this debate is to show his teaching, that the God of this age is not YHWH, but Satan, and in doing so, it will expose KJ's false teaching so that others may not be deceived by this wicked accusation against the Most High. I do this because people should be encouraged in sound doctrine and those who teach falsely should be refuted and opposed.
In the next post, I will quote KJ's false teaching on 2 Corinthians 4:4.
January 22, 2012 at 2:38 am#273786ProclaimerParticipantKJ's false teaching is below:
Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ Jan. 15 2012,10:07) 2 Corinthians 4:4 as it reads in most translations: whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of the God, should shine on them.
For much of my christian life life I was misled to believe that the “god of this age” was a reference to satan. I have come to totally reject this interpretation for three reasons:
1. Christ is the image of “the God” (hotheos) who blinds the minds of men which completely rules out that it can be a reference to satan.
“The God” (hotheos) who blinds the minds of men in the first clause and “the God” (hotheos) of whom Christ is the image in the second clause are the same person. Jesus is the image of “the God” in the second clause. Therefore, “the God” in the first clause CANNOT be satan.
2. The term “of this age” is amphibolous and refers to unbelievers.
The God has blinded the minds of those who of this age do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of the God, should shine on them.
3. In 3:14 Paul had just said that the unbelievers of the prior age were blinded by God through the putting on of a veil over the face of Moses.
Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the SAME VEIL remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
The instrument of the blindness of unbelievers of both ages was the “same veil.” Satan NEVER had the power to blind the minds of men. And he is NEVER called “the God” (hotheos) anywhere in the scriptures.

Quote And he is NEVER called “the God” (hotheos) anywhere in the scriptures.
I suspected right. This is his motivation right here.He refuses to accept that Satan is the God of this age or any kind of God, but unfortunately for him, 2 Corinthians 4:4 proves him wrong.

Have you done a runner again?
October 15, 2012 at 5:28 pm#316261RichtunerParticipantI would like to pipe in if invited.
October 25, 2012 at 12:43 am#317503ProclaimerParticipantYes feel free to do that, and thanks for asking. Anyone else can join in now that KJ did a runner and could not defend his own teaching
