MORE SPECULATIONS:With the above backdrop, we see Hebrews 1:10 from the Trinitarian perspective:  Jesus was there creating (John 1:1-3) and therefore he must be the God in persona.  Meanwhile, we see by so many other scriptures that Jesus is most definitely a great but different being who is subject to the HIGHEST God.  That GOD is outside of al…[Read more]

Thinking out loud w/ some speculations:Gen 1:1   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.Nothing here indicates that Elohiym (GOD) is plural or a “pluralistic being” in nature.There are many beginnings:  this points specifically to the creation of the heavens and the earth.  Question:  does this heaven comprise of all stated hea…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Dec. 04 2006,10:19)Quote Hi FF,So you agree that the Holy Spirit manifests God Himself. Those who saw Christ also “saw” God in him “for God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself”2Cor 3” 17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18But we all, with open face beholding as…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Dec. 02 2006,14:03)Hi Cubes and David,Cornelius fell down to worship (proskuneō) Peter in Acts 10:25, but Peter made it clear that it was inappropriate to proskuneō him as he was just a man. Acts 10:25-26And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped (Gr. proskuneō) him. 26 But Peter…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Dec. 01 2006,12:04)The point of all this is that you can't look at your Bible and say: See, Jesus is God because he is worshipped, without understanding what the word proskyneo means.  People look at this and use it to support the Jesus is Almighty God belief.  And when they have that belief, they use that to support the way they t…[Read more]

Hi Charity.  Welcome to the forum.I must apologise, but do you mind clarifying your above post for me again, and more specifically as relates to the OP?  Are you saying that those children who receive the word are the “seed” sons and that those who don't are the “flesh” sons?And why do you discount Solomon as the seed of David?  But then say th…[Read more]

Welcome back, Eliyah!Hope you're faring well in health and in spirit, and that your wife is well too.

The Herodian kings were ruling during Jesus' life time, and Herod certainly did seek to destroy the infant Jesus. I didn't get the feeling that Caiaphas and co were enthusiastic about Herod's reign or that he was from the house of David. Any insights?
