Quote (t8 @ Aug. 07 2013,16:49) Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 07 2013,04:59) Meaning you are a Polytheist or at best a Henotheist.
You accuse Jesus of being a Polytheist. That is the conclusion.Jesus said, “ye are gods”.
He quoted the OT, “ye are gods, ye are all sons of the Most High God”.
I am thinking that you do not realise that you are challenging Jesus Christ. But you are.
Wrong t8Jesus said no such thing. He is quoting the Psalmist!
Look again. Jesus does not believe in other gods and neither did his followers.

wjscriptures says ;NO ONE LIKE HIM
Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 09 2013,07:56) t Do you believe Jesus is a god?
WJ
WJGOD = MIGHTY ONE ; their are many mighty ones ,but yes Christ is a mighty one ;
GE 10:8 Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one (god) on the earth.
JOS 22:22 “ The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows, and may Israel itself know. If it was in rebellion, or if in an unfaithful act against the LORD do not save us this day!
GE 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty(gods) men who were of old, men of renown.
GE 23:6 “Hear us, my lord(Abraham), you are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our graves; none of us will refuse you his grave for burying your dead.”
Isa 9:6 For to us a child is born,(Christ)
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,Mighty God ,but the son of God is created and for that reason we do not worship him ,but honor him ,render homage to him ,for all the things he did ,he also received from the father ,
Mike,
your incomplete list:Quote This is the church I belong to, Kathi. The one that recognizes Jesus as the Son, Messiah, Servant, Lamb, Prophet and Priest OF “the living God”. Now keep the list going…why stop at who Jesus is to His Father, hmmmm? Are you afraid to list who Jesus is to His Church?
Jesus is our righteous God and Savior, our Redeemer, our Salvation, our hope, our Lord, Jehovah our Righteousness, Jehovah of hosts, our forerunner, our deliverer, our pioneer and perfecter of faith, our God and Lord, etc.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 08 2013,20:16) Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 07 2013,20:13) Does Isaiah 8 identify the Jehovah of hosts as Jehovah the speaker or someone other than Jehovah the speaker?
Jehovah of hosts is the one speaking.
Mike,
Hmmmmm…are you trying to be deceptive?Please answer this regarding 1 Peter 2:
6For this is contained in Scripture:
“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone,
AND HE
WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”Who is the “I” and who is the “Him?”
Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 10 2013,08:23) Mike,
Hmmmmm…are you trying to be deceptive?
Nope.Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 10 2013,08:23) Who is the “I” and who is the “Him?”
The “I” is Jehovah. The “him” is Jesus Christ, the servant of Jehovah.Kathi, I don't believe you answered my question. Are you saying that only “Jehovah the Son” is “Jehovah of hosts”, and Jehovah the Father is NOT “Jehovah of hosts”?
Mike,
Quote Are you saying that only “Jehovah the Son” is “Jehovah of hosts”, and Jehovah the Father is NOT “Jehovah of hosts”?
I'm not saying one way or the other as I have not done an exhaustive study on this. It is possible. Names of Jehovah are interchangeable for the Father and Son so it might be with this as well. Why, do you know of a passage that clearly refers to only the Father as the LORD of hosts?Quote The “I” is Jehovah. The “him” is Jesus Christ, the servant of Jehovah. Thank you for that answer and you are correct.
Now answer this question:
Regarding more of the same passage:
1 Peter 2:
7Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,“The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”
8and,
“A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”
Please answer:
Who/what is the stone? Who/what is the rock?WJ, Jesus would be mighty el in the same sense that others would be mighty el. But obviously Jesus would be the greatest under God than any other called el or mighty el.
Meaning of el.
God, god (false gods/pagan gods), and the mighty which includes men and angels. When it is used of God, it almost always includes additional words to distinguish from false gods.
- El Elyon
- El Olam
- El Echad
- El Tsaddik
- El Shaddai
- El Emet
- El Hanne'eman
Of course additional words could also describe another god too.
Some people never get sick of being proven wrong.
Although some take breaks and then come back for more.Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 07 2013,04:59) Meaning you are a Polytheist or at best a Henotheist.
WJ, do you believe that Baal was a god that was worhipped. If yes, then you are a Polytheist according to your definition of the word.The reality is that Mike clearly believes that the Father is the true and Most High God. So I count one.
Whereas you believe that the Father, Son, Spirit are God. I count three.
A triangle is a polygon WJ.
You are the Polytheist.
Back to the drawing board please.
Quote (t8 @ Aug. 11 2013,05:37) The reality is that Mike clearly believes that the Father is the true and Most High God. So I count one.
Absolutely. And Mike has enough common sense to understand that Jehovah couldn't possibly by the MOST HIGH god unless there existed other LESS HIGH gods. (Common sense……….. and the fact that the scriptures teach all about these other, LESS HIGH gods.)Quote (t8 @ Aug. 11 2013,05:37) Whereas you believe that the Father, Son, Spirit are God. I count three.
And that is where Kathi at least puts her money where her mouth is. She, like the Trinitarians, is led by her personal desire to elevate Jesus to Godship, but she is at least sensible enough to know that if she worships Jesus as God, and the Father as God, she is worshipping TWO Gods………. not ONE.By worshipping the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit OF God, Keith actually worships THREE separate Gods. It's just that he nonsensically pretends that all three are only ONE God.
Talk about your mystery Babylon.

Jesus.
Yes Mike, the Rock/Stone is Jesus. The quoted OT scripture in 1 Peter 2:8 is from Isaiah 8:Isaiah 8:11For thus hath Jehovah spoken unto me with strength of hand, and instructeth me against walking in the way of this people, saying,
12‘Ye do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people saith, A confederacy, And its fear ye do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
13Jehovah of Hosts — Him ye do sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,
14And He hath been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Please answer:
Who is identified as the stone and rock in Isaiah 8.Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 08 2013,20:14) Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 07 2013,19:49) His beginning was in regards to a begettal, not a creation.
At least two scriptures say differently. And look at this page. The first thing they list after the big word “beget” is “create“.Anyone who has ever been begotten has also been created, Kathi. You think Jesus is the exception to this universal rule, but it is nothing but an unsupported thought.
Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 07 2013,19:49) He is Jehovah our Righteousness and Jehovah of hosts. He wouldn't have the name Jehovah of hosts and not be eternally self-existent.
Did you purposely leave “Jehovah our Righteousness” out of your claim because you know Israel is also called by that name?
1. There is no scriptural evidence that Jesus is ever called “Jehovah of hosts”. This is just in your imagination.
2. Many people have “Jehovah” as part of their names. None of those people are “eternally self-existent”, are they?
Mike,
We know that there are MANY created sons, so obviously, 'created' is not the word that was meant. He is the ONLY begotten Son…the ONLY begotten God.I do see on your list 'brought forth' and 'born' which would make Him the same nature as His Father and an only begotten. We all know that someone had to exist before being brought forth also. We further know that the eternal life that was with the Father in the beginning wouldn't be eternal life if that life hadn't been eternal. No wonder He is called Jehovah of Hosts and Jehovah our Righteousness, and our God and Savior. It all comes together.

LOLYou guys are to funny.
You guys believe and and bow down to and serve 2 gods, the Father who you say is god and Jesus who you say is a god.
I believe they are One God and One Spirit as the scriptures claim.
Quote (t8 @ Aug. 11 2013,06:37) WJ, do you believe that Baal was a god that was worhipped. If yes, then you are a Polytheist according to your definition of the word. BTW t8, I don't believe that the so-called gods like baal who was worshiped by man were gods at all, but merely idols of men.
The definition of polytheism is “The worship of or belief in more than one god.”
Scriptures say…
