    It is God's creative Word the creates the new man.


    Kerwin,

    What do you think the title “Word of God” in Rev 19:13 means?  Do you think the rider on the horse is literally spoken words from God?


    Mike;

    God's spoken Word acts through him and by him.


    Kerwin

    T;

    Scripture testifies that the prophets of old spoke the Word of God as carried along by the Spirit. Jesus not only speaks it but also thinks and does it while carried along by the Spirit. The Words acts with power through and by him to perform many miracles. It even acts to create, through and by him, a new man in those that believe. The new man is a servant of righteousness for he does not sin; it is the old man that sins.

    So, in other words, there ARE truly other gods, but not other “Omniscient Creators of All Things”?

    Hmmm………….that sounds very familiar – as if I've told you this many times before.

    Therefore, although Jehovah is said to be the ONLY savior, there have been many other saviors.  And although Jesus is said to be the ONLY Lord, there have been many other lords.  And although Jehovah is said to be the ONLY god, there have been many other gods.

    Are we in agreement yet?  Because this is what I've been preaching for years.


    Hi Mike,

    There are other ĔL-ō-Hêêms, but there is no other “God”!

    The Hebrew word אלהים ĔL-ō-Hêêm does not carry as strong
    a meaning as the English word “GOD”; which you already know.


    Btw Ed, it was the The Hebrew word אלהים ĔL-ō-Hêêm that Jehovah used when He claimed to be the “ONLY one”.


    Hi Mike,

    Thou shalt have no other ĔL-ō-Hêêms before me. (Ex 20:3)

    First of all, the Word HAS returned to heaven, Kerwin.  So your understanding is flawed.


    Hi Mike,

    No, “The Word” is still here, it is your understanding that is flawed.

    The new man is created in the form of God's righteousness and holiness and faithful believers grow up into the form of Christ.

    the question is categorical.
    pls answer yes or no

    and give the verse that they have the form of GOD


    Jammin;

    In my experience; such questions tend to be from the Devil; with both answers a snare.   I prefer to answer with Scriptures and those things that aid comprehending the language of Scripture.


    you are just making excuses
    the truth is you cant answer the question boy LOL

    This is the answer to your question; though you may understand or like it.  In case you don't understand that there are other words that mean the same thing as “form” I have included a list of them from a thesaurus and highlighted at least two in the list that Scripture uses.  Image is one of these and “image of his Son” and “image of him that created him” are used in relationship to believers; as it is written:

    Romans 8:29
    King James Version (KJV)

    29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    and

    Colossians 3:10
    King James Version (KJV)

    10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

    Hi Kerwin,

    I should have phrased that differently. What I want to know is:

    To WHAT does the title “the Word of God” refer in Rev 19:13? Does that phrase refer to literal words that God has spoken? Or to God's main spokesman?

    Ed,

    For me there is but one Father, Jehovah Almighty.

    Does my statement prohibit the existence of other fathers, Ed?

    For me there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ.

    Does my statement prohibit Jehovah from being my Lord also? Does it prohibit the existence of other lords?

    Mike,

    There Is A True Mighty One And There Are False Mighty Ones

    Yahweh said that He was the ONLY TRUE Mighty One (“Elohim”). All other so-called “Gods” are nothing but mere idols and we know that an idol is nothing and powerless.

    Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true Mighty One, and Yahshua Messiah, whom You have sent (Yahchanan 17:3).

    We know also that the son of Yahweh has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him Who is true. And we are in Him Who is true–even in His son Yahshua Messiah. He [Yahweh] is the true Mighty One and eternal life (1 Yahchanan 5:20).

    For all the gods of the nations are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens (Psalm 96:5).

    Little children, keep yourselves from idols. So be it (1 Yahchanan 5:21).

    So then, about eating food set apart to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no Mighty One but one (1 Corinthians 8:4).

    For the customs of the nations are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do anything righteous. No one is like You, O Yahweh; You are great, and Your Name is mighty in power. Who should not revere You, O King of the nations? This is Your due. Among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like You. They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols. Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz. What the craftsman and goldsmith have made is then dressed in blue and purple–all made by skilled workers. But Yahweh is the true Mighty One; He is the living Mighty One, the eternal King. When He is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure His wrath. Tell them this: “These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens. But Yahweh made the earth by His power; He founded the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding. When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from His storehouses. Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them. They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish. He who is the Portion of Yaaqob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, including Ysryl, the tribe of His inheritance–Yahweh Almighty is His Name.  (Yeremyah 10:3-16).

    Consider the people of Ysryl: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to Yahweh, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of Yahweh and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both Yahweh's table and the table of demons. Are we trying to arouse Yahweh's being zealous? Are we stronger than He? Someone may say, “I'm allowed to do anything,” but not everything is righteous. “I'm allowed to do anything,” but not everything encourages growth (1 Corinthians 10:18-23).

    Be still, and know that I am Yahweh; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth (Psalm 46:10).

    They exchanged the truth of Yahweh for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–Who is forever praised. So be it (Romans 1:25).

    ELOHIM: ONE, OR MORE THAN ONE?
