Proclaimer,
You said;
If you come into existence then you are created or born from God directly. Is there another way?
Well, I don’t believe the Son “came into existence,” I believe he always was in existence in some manner. He was never non-existent, before he was born/begotten, as I understand it.
Regarding the created man, he DID come into…[Read more]

PC,
You said: You know you are not winning with these objections
Which objections specifically do you disagree with? You neglect to directly address some very important objections. I have posted the same post to you at least three times recently, now Danny Dabbs is posting it to you also.
It looks like you are stumped, maybe hoping it gets…[Read more]

PC,
I do appreciate that you allow opposing view points here otherwise how would anyone get sharpened. I know you also have to block posts by spammers which is good. So, there is some form of censorship that you have to do while you block some “new members” posts due to what you determine as spamming.

Hi Carmel,
You said: Once God pronounced His word, the Son left the Father, your term begat, and established Himself engrafted in the heart of the endless spirits emanated from God!
Where do you find that the Son “established Himself?”
In Proverbs 8:23, it is another person that “establishes” (as you use the term) Wisdom, not “Wisdom” itself.

Carmel,
I see where you get the phrase, “I was established” from. Here is another note on that Hebrew word translated as “installed” for Proverbs 8:23:
Niph`al Perfect1singular נִסַּכְתִּי Proverbs 8:23 I was installed (of Wisdom).

Carmel: thanks for the correction! 90% of the posts on heaven net need some kind of correction, I never read any correction from anyone to anyone yet!
I agree that many posts on HN could be corrected in form or grammar, etc. I’m sure mine could as well at times. I edit myself frequently 🙂

PC asked:
But wouldn’t existence be the moment you are your own person? That would be when you are begotten or created.
Existence doesn’t happen the moment one is born, Proclaimer. Even humans “exist” within the womb before birth for several months. Have you ever seen a baby in the womb of a mother through an ultrasound? Who can say that a baby d…[Read more]

@Danny Dabbs
Here is a picture for you demonstrating the plausability of a son being inside a father until begotten from the father, resulting in an offspring that is identical to its father.
This is a picture of asexual reproduction of a cell through the process of “closed mitosis.” Scroll down the page till you see the diagram “B Closed…[Read more]

You said:
If Christ had always existed alongside the Father, then
that would make them brothers or twins.
Not a real Father and Son.I didn’t say that the Son always existed “alongside” the Father. I said that He existed within the Father until He was begotten before the ages.

You have mentioned this over and over so, I am going to attempt to address it.
You said:

Are you neglecting to address this post on purpose? I will repeat it here:
PC,
You are correct, Abraham is not talking to the Father. He is talking to YHVH however. Therefore, the person who Abraham is addressing as YHVH, is not the Father but someone other than the Father. YHVH is echad which can mean that YHVH is a unity of more…

Hi Carmel,
You said this and you use a lot of terms that I don’t see in the scripture:
FIRST AND FOREMOST GOD, BEFORE HE CREATED ANYTHING, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE, ESTABLISHED HIS SON, HIS GENUINE ETERNAL ABODE, PRECISELY AS

PC,
You said:
I think we can all agree on that. Where you differ is that you think it is okay to call the Son of the Most High as the Most High or the Son of YHWH as YHWH.
First of all, I don’t call the Son “the Most High Father” but I do believe that the Son is the “Most High Son.” Second of all, since I believe that YHVH is the unity of the…

Danny Dabbs,
Please tell me of a son that is higher than Jesus, the firstborn over all creation. If you cannot, then it would be an obvious truth that Jesus is the Most High Son. Think!
Also, if anyone is begotten, they must have existed in order to be begotten. The whole idea of begetting something/someone is to bring it/them forth from point a…[Read more]
