    First Paul says:

    Romans 15:7-9 (King James Version)

    8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

    Then Paul says:

    Galatians 6:14-16 (King James Version)

    15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

    Then Paul says:

    Romans 3:1-3 (King James Version)

    Romans 3
    1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

    2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

    To All,
    Why would bodhitharta cite Paul as an authority when he believes that paul was a deceiver who even bragged about it.

    If you believe the bible is infallible then you must believe Paul when he says he uses deception.

    Jesus doesn't use deception but Paul brags about it so according to the Bible itself Paul deceives. Don't you agree with Paul? Is Paul lying about himself?

    Hi TT,
    Once again you offer logic hoping it will resolve your misunderstandings.

    Nowhere in scripture is it stated that God is a trinity so the attempted use of this tool to help you is invalid.

    God has blessed his kingly Son, the Lord Jesus with all His graces and powers and authority.

    You didn't answer because if you did you would have to agree that Paul used deception as he stated.

    Hi BD,
    In the grace of God in Christ, Paul used every trick to enable access to the hearts and bypass the possible obstructions to the gospel.

    I agree, Paul deceived for a good intention.

    However, God did not do away with the law according to Jesus. Paul even calls Jesus a minister of the circumcision.

    Heaven Net friends,
    Titus 2:13 is a direct assertion that Jesus Christ is God,

    Quote
    Looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ

    Note this grammatical rule right from the textbook,

    Quote
    If two substantives are connected by kai and both have the article, they refer to two different persons or things; if the first has the article and the second does not, the second refers to the same person (Syntax of the New Testament Greek, University Press of America, p.76).

    The textbook gives Titus 2:13 as an example of this rule,

    προσδεχόμενοι τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

    I put the article which comes before “great God” in bold for you. And I also put the Greek “kai” in bold. There is no article before “Savior”. This means that the substantatives “great God” and “Savior” (Jesus Christ) are ONE AND THE SAME.

    This is right from the textbook!

    Yet the New World translation inserts a second definite article before the word “Savior” to make a distinction between God and Savior.

    Quote
    While we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of [the] Savior of us, Christ Jesus

    There is no second definite article before “Savior”. The NWT translators inserted the second article in brackets thus exposing their true agenda.

    What should we expect, not one of the Translators on the NWT team were Greek or Hebrew scholars? In court their main man could not even read a single verse.

    We have been through this before Nick. The Father was Christ's God but NOT His Lord or King. Christ has no Lord or King over Him. Christ is the “only Master and Lord (Jude 5).

    You yourself have said that “God” does not equal “Lord.”

    Hi TT,
    He has a God over him, his Father.
    So his God is greater than he is.
    Or do you have several gods?

    Can you prove that by 1 Cor 15:28?

    Christ's God is not His Lord or King Nick. Give scriptural proof Nick.

    Hi TT,
    He who blesses is greater than the one blessed.[Heb7]
    Our God blessed His Son Jesus in every way.
    The God of Jesus is greater than Jesus.

    So if they are part of an imagined trinity it is inherently unstable.

    Where does scripture say that God “blessed” Christ?

    Uh Nick, not one of the scriptures you gave say that God blessed Christ. In Matthew 21 and John 12 it is the people blessing Christ. In Luke it is Mary blessing her son. The Revelation passage says that He is worthy to receive blessing and honor from men which you don't do.  The passage in Acts says nothing about God blessing Christ. It refers to the reward of His obedience.

    And you accuse others of engaging in inference. Your thinking is convoluted Nick.
