3. Failed to answer a direct question that was related to the topic at hand
According to Dr Mantey is “a god” a grammatically permissible translation?
You didn't answer the question.
WJ
KJ, adding a trinity of emoticons doesn't somehow make you post right and Mike's wrong.It does nothing but show your spirit regarding this topic.
NoIt points out the 'hypocrosy” of those who claim they answer all questions when they don't themselves. That would include you t8 for not answering questions after scolding others for not doing so.
WJ
WJ, may I remind you that I am doing my best to answer questions and if you look at the debate section you can see I have been quite busy.
Feel free of course to highlight any questions I have missed so far.
I have no problem answering your questions.
So your comment is unnecessary WJ.On this subject, you may have noticed that I am waiting for many responses from both yourself and KJ in the Debates forums.
Of course I am patient and willing to wait, but if you have no intention of answering any of them, then a simple note to say you concede will suffice.
https://heavennet.net/cgi-bin….SF;f=22Currently:
- I am waiting for a response to the sons of God and Malak point;
- I am waiting for a response as to why you don't call God, “them”, “they”, in order to be grammatically correct with your doctrine;
- And a number of other responses to posts that were made in other topics there.
So as you can see WJ, when you make comments like this, then it ends up being directed at yourself.
As I said, I have done the last round of posts in the Debates forum and am the one who is waiting.
And I am willing to answer any question, if I have missed one or some.
You just need to bring it to my attention rather than throwing your toys out of the cot.Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 28 2011,15:12) Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 24 2011,20:16) Not only that, but I've answered the question……….twice now. mike
MikeHave you actually said “NO”, because if you have then I sure haven't seen it. According to Dr Mantey it is not “grammatically permissable” to translate John 1:1c as “a god”.
Do you agree with his conclusion Mike? Yes or No?
WJ
Yes, I've answered it on three different threads so far. Dr. Mantley says nothing about Greek grammar in his quote. He DOES, however, say that there was nothing in his ENGLISH grammar in the book he wrote to lead the JW's to think he was saying “a god” was a permissible translation.Although Dr. Mantley doesn't come right out and say it is NOT permissible, I realize he is a Trinitarian and most likely prefers the slanted way most Trinitarian sponsored Bibles render it.
But since his book must have said something about John 1:1 that the JW's liked and quoted, then your question is null and void. Because telling the JW's that he didn't say anything to imply he thought it was permissible is not the same as him saying it isn't. Show me what Dr. Mantley actually says about John 1:1 in his actual book, and then ask a question about that.
Again, he says nothing about GREEK grammar in the quote you keep posting. He is speaking about the ENGLISH grammar he himself used in his book. Your question is no good.

Quote KJ, do you understand the difference between calling someone a liar and pointing out a lie?
This sounds like the word games the Scribes and Pharisees played with Jesus. First, Mike said to WJ that he does not want to discuss with “LIARS.” Second in what way has WJ lied?Why do you defend ungodly behavior?
KJ
Not word games KJ.
Ask yourself if you have ever told a lie.
Then ask yourself if you are a liar.
If the answer is yes, ask yourself where you will end up when you die.Revelation 21:8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”As you can see, if we all have told lies (which we have) and if that makes us all liars, then no one is saved.
I would like to see you wriggle out of this rather than ignore what I have said.
Look forward to your rebuttal, but I suspect that you will ignore this.

Yes really.So long as you don't bog me down with too many questions at once. I can take them one or two at a time. No problem. This has always been the case WJ.
I repeat that your comment was unnecessary. But since you made that comment, you have set a measurement by which you should adhere to.
Matthew 7:2
2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 01 2011,13:38) t8 I have recorded your words so like I said…
We will see!
WJ
wjis this in both direction ?

Quote (t8 @ Mar. 22 2011,09:32) However, I think that it is better to say “either you are not not being truthful in this issue” … Why? Because a liar is someone who practices lies, not a person who tells a lie. Just as a fisherman is someone who practices fishing as opposed to someone who caught a fish.
Hi T8,By your logic should we assume a person who has only murdered once is not (according to T8) a murderer?
God bless
