Quote (Irene @ July 02 2008,19:07)Eli If you had the truth then, it should be same as you have now. So what would be different. No sense to go over old posts. Show us what you believe now is what is important. Is it truth and have you proved all things. 1 Thes. 5:21 ” Prove all things.” That is what is imprtant.

Thank you Irene and Not3in1. Just for the record, I did find some of my previous posts after digging in the Trinity section for awhile.As for being able to offer some more thoughts on the Trinity subject, I tend to think that there is not a lot more to say, that hasn't already been said on this Forum somewhere. The discussion recorded in the…[Read more]

Hi, Thank you to all who have responded to my enquiry and also for the welcome back. I would like to be able to stick around a little if possible, but that is going to depend on time and circumstances. I actually did enjoy this Forum previously. As for topics involved in before, from memory, I think they were related to the question of the Trinity…[Read more]

Quote (Elidad @ June 28 2008,09:32)Hello, I haven't posted here for quite some time. Circumstances not permitting/preventing. Hence I came back looking for old posts but don't seem to be able to locate them. It was probably about 4 years ago since last posting, maybe more or maybe less. Hence, was wondering how far the Forum history goes back.…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 31 2006,11:20)how the Word is the same as a thought or an idea,Hello Nick, Perhaps I can answer your question, if you can explain to me how the word (meaning 'the word' in connection with Christ) is not the same as a thought or idea in connection with Christ.

Quote Nick Hassan,July 30 2006,23:42]Quote Hi, We saw in scripture several descriptions of Jesus in glory on the mountain and the recorded impressions of the apostles who were with him. So that glory was not new at that time but refreshed to him his previous knowledge of life in heaven with God to prepare him for his path of suffering.Moses and…[Read more]

Quote (kenrch @ July 30 2006,21:52)The Word was with God. What was Jesus before He was the Word?

I subscribed to a pro-trinity site and in the end, it was indicated…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ July 29 2006,03:37)Thanks Elidad.Like yourself I do not hold the the view that Jesus was claiming to be YHWH (I AM). But I do see it as saying 'I exist(ed)'.I = ego {eg-o'} – I, me, myam = eimi {i-mee'} – to be, to exist, to happen, to be presentWe also know that Jesus is the Word who became flesh and the Word was WITH God in the…[Read more]
