Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 09 2013,20:48) Quote (Lightenup @ May 08 2013,22:00) Mike,
you saidQuote And I also realize that just as Jesus lives BECAUSE OF the Father, we can live because of him. Just as the Father has eternal life in Him, so He has GRANTED the Son to also have eternal life in him. I learned these things from Jesus himself, Kathi. Did it say that He granted the Son to have 'eternal' life or just 'life?' The Son as the Shoot of David was granted life and was raised to eternal life. The Root always had life.
It says we can live BECAUSE OF him – just as HE lives BECAUSE OF the Father.It says that the Father (implied: “originally”) had the life in Him, and then (implied: “at some later time”) GRANTED the Son to also have life in him.
(BTW, the context of John 5:24-27 IS “eternal life” – as is explicitly mentioned in verse 24.)
And since the “Shoot” Son never granted anyone ETERNAL life, it must be the “Root” Son who WAS GRANTED from his Father and God to have eternal life in him. And since this is obviously the case, you should be able to see that even the “Root” Son did not ORIGINALLY have eternal life in him – or else the Father would not have had to GRANT it to him.
Kathi, have your own words just shot your own doctrine in the foot – once again?
(I haven't yet commented on your “Watch these 6 videos first” thread, because I haven't yet watched them all. But in the first one and a half clips, the speaker shoots his own doctrine in the foot about 4 different times. I'll watch the rest if and when I get the time/patience. I really wish there was a way that you and I could watch it, word for word, together. Then we could stop the video at every time he either says something unscriptural, or shoots his own doctrine in the foot.)
Well I see you hopping on one foot after putting the other one in your mouth here with your t8 shadow not far behind in similar motion. The context it about the Son of Man, the 'shoot' and the life in Him which from the moment of conception in Mary was eternal life from what I can tell. But you are going to say that He died. Yes, His flesh died but His spirit continued on alive.Glad that you are watching the 6 videos albeit gradually. Someday maybe we can discuss them after you have watched all of them. Just let me know. (You have only had almost 7 months to do so)

terraricca,
I believe its saying exactly how you read it, its saying that Yahweh possessed wisdom and created the heavens and earth with his wisdom. We would be in serious trouble if Yahweh didn't use his wisdom when creating the universe, world or everything within. Wisdom is a gift of the Holy Spirit this is what scripture teaches.How can someone say wisdom is a person and then the Holy Spirit is not a person when the Holy Spirit is the one giving the Wisdom
Jer 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, THE GODS that have NOT made the heavens and the earth, even THEY SHALL PERISH FROM THE EARTH, and from under these heavens.

DanielSo God created his own wisdom in the beginning
And so we can understand that God did not have any wisdom before
Hi terraricca,Wisdom is eternal, you are the one saying it had a beginning.
If you dont believe me show me where I have said I believe it has a beginning.Wisdom says, I was setup from Eternity, pure and simple… its when you try and make a *her* a *him* and eternity – “not eternity” this is when you have all the problems.

my first verse I quoted you is ;the only thing is that wisdom produce children and so did Christ 'Pr 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Pr 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
it is the scripture that says “FROM THE BEGINNING “AND WAS SO SET UP IN THE BEGINNING “AND MORE ;Pr 8:30 Then I was the craftsman at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
Pr 8:31 rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
Ok, sorry, I thought you were trying to say that wisdom had a beginning.
So do you think that wisdom doesn't have a beginning and you also think wisdom is Jesus?Or do you think that wisdom does have a beginning so it not really wisdom but its Jesus?
I have read the whole chapter and it clear that its talking about wisdom and how Yahweh possessed it eternally and it by wisdom that he created the heavens and earth, this is common sense…
11because wisdom is better than precious gems
and nothing you desire can compare to it.”There is no revelation of Jesus Christ here its common sense that both the Father and Son used their unlimited wisdom when creating the heavens and the earth.
Jesus is either true God or true creator angel. No one has convinced me in the slightlest that Jesus is one of the angels in the old testament and the new testament clearly calls Jesus God in his pre-existant form before he took flesh and humbed himself to that of a servant.There is no stronger word for eternal than olam

Daniel, read these thoughts from the 25 Trinitarian scholars of NETNotes:Proverbs 8:22 NET ©
The Lord created 1 me as the beginning of his works, before his deeds of long ago.Footnote #1 says:
There are two roots קָנָה (qanah) in Hebrew, one meaning “to possess,” and the other meaning “to create.” The earlier English versions did not know of the second root, but suspected in certain places that a meaning like that was necessary (e.g., Gen 4:1; 14:19; Deut 32:6). Ugaritic confirmed that it was indeed another root. The older versions have the translation “possess” because otherwise it sounds like God lacked wisdom and therefore created it at the beginning. They wanted to avoid saying that wisdom was not eternal. Arius liked the idea of Christ as the wisdom of God and so chose the translation “create.” Athanasius translated it, “constituted me as the head of creation.” The verb occurs twelve times in Proverbs with the meaning of “to acquire”; but the Greek and the Syriac versions have the meaning “create.” Although the idea is that wisdom existed before creation, the parallel ideas in these verses (“appointed,” “given birth”) argue for the translation of “create”……..You only need to read the following verses in that passage to see the related terms “formed”, “given birth”, “born”, and “brought forth”. Those lend a lot of support to a translation of “created” in verse 22.
Quote (4Thomas @ May 14 2013,00:36) And spirit in the Greek is NOT a her this is incorrect spirit has no gender.
Who said “spirit” was a feminine word in the Greek language? I said in the other thread that it is feminine in the Hebrew language. “Wisdom” is feminine in both languages.Just remember not to confuse “grammatical gender” with literal gender.
I believe the Spanish word for house (casa) is a feminine word. But that doesn't mean Spanish houses are females – even IF I metaphorically say, “Look at my house! I built her all by myself!”

Kathi,Jesus lives BECAUSE OF the Father. Any life that Jesus has in him was GRANTED to him by his Father and God.
Don't try to read your doctrine into the scriptures when it's not there.
I just love the way you guys hem and haw about Jesus being lesser than his God when he was on earth. Out of one side of your mouths, you want to insist that he was 100% God Almighty on earth. But then, when faced with clear scriptures that show him to be DEPENDENT UPON his God and our God, the story changes to, Oh, well he had emptied himself by that time. Or, Well, he was existing a little lower than the angels at that time.
Well which is it? Did God Almighty Himself come to earth and die at the hands of human beings? Or did someone LESSER THAN God Almighty come to earth and die at the hands of human beings?
Oh that's right, now we'll have to hear about the “two different NATURES of Jesus”, right?

John the baptist? Come on guys you are better than this.
she refers to an attribute.
He refers to a person.wisdom is an attribute of God, but then is begotten and becomes the workMAN at God's side.
So there you have it. Someone is begotten from an attribute of God and then assists God in some way when he makes the Universe.

That's funny because we have been taught that he is the only begotten son. You must be reading a weird and inaccurate version of the Bible.Jesus is the son of God, not God.
And those who deny that Jesus is the son of God are of the Antichrist spirit or at least they deny the Father and the son. That is one of the tests we are encouraged to do to check out when testing a spirit or teaching.
By saying he is God, you are denying that he is the son of God.

6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
Compare with Proverbs 8:24
“When there were no oceans, I was given birth”.Colossians 1:15-16 (English-NIV)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
Compare with Proverbs 8:30
“Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,”.

Jesus' characteristics are not God's characteristics which means he is not God.
Hebrews makes the case Jesus is not an angel which means he is not an an angel.
Michael is an angel and Jesus is not an angel which means he is not Michael.
Scripture declares he was and is a man which means he was and is a man.

Okay, now I'm getting confused. You say the “Lord God Almighty” came to earth and died. I don't know of any scripture that says such a thing, but just to humor you:Is the “Lord God Almighty” a human being who needed to be “GIVEN” life? Is the “Lord God Almighty” lower than the angels?

Which one?
I would also like Daniel to answer that question DIRECTLY.
Good luck with a straight answer for that question. You will need it.
Kathi actually DID answer it, but her answer made my stomach turn.She said the Lord God Almighty came to earth and died at the hands of men.
I'll await her scripture that says such a thing. From what I'VE read in the scriptures, the Lord God Almighty SENT His Son into the earth where that Son died at the hands of men.
