Quote (mikeboll64 @ Oct. 06 2013,12:09)There is a “HE was with God in the beginning”, right?Now, please explain to me how the Word “pertains to” Jesus, but isn't really Jesus.  Because what you've posted above doesn't explain anything to me about how you're understanding this “pertains to” stuff.Hi Mike:Most of the translations do translate verse…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Oct. 06 2013,02:11)Marty,The definition of both the Hebrew and Greek words you listed is simply “word”.  I understand that.You say the Word “pertains to Jesus”.  Please explain.  How exactly does the Word who was with God in the beginning, and became flesh and dwelled on earth with the glory of God's only begotten Son “p…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Oct. 06 2013,01:52)Marty,Your point is a distraction.Consider that the spokesman for the King of Abyssinia was called Kal Hatze – which means “the word of the king”.This doesn't mean that the word “word” all of a sudden starts meaning “spokesman for a king”.  The word “word” still continued to mean “spoken words”, or…[Read more]

Hi:This might help to give understanding:Quote International Standard Bible EncyclopaediaWord:wurd: The commonest term in the Old Testament for “word” is dabhar (also “matter” “thing”); in the New Testament logos (“reason,” “discourse,” “speech”); but also frequently rhema. Rhema is a “word” in itself considered; logos is a spoken word, with…[Read more]

Hi:Jesus is the last Adam, a man through whom the character of God has been made manifest to humanity. He does not have a dual nature, that is to say, “fully God and fully man”, but he is a man who through the application of God's Word in his life( by obeying the Word of God even unto death on the cross), is the “express image of God's…[Read more]

Hi Pierre:Your post above has nothing to do with what I am discussing with mike.Love in Christ,Marty

No, Pierre, I disagree that this scripture refers to loosing the pains of death for men in general, because the scripture states that he (Jesus)was not possible that he should be holden of it.Quote Acts 2Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in…[Read more]

Hi Wakeup:Unfortunately, no one can repent for him. He has to first acknowledge that he has sinned and say that he is sorry, and indicate with that confession that he is going to stop accusing and judging us just because he may have a different understanding of the scriptures.But it is quite obvious what was said, and that not only you and I have…[Read more]

Hi Pierre:I have not problem forgiving anyone who has offended me, but the scriptures state the following:Mat 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two…[Read more]
