Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 13 2011,02:38)Paladin,It is nice to hear from you.  Quote 1st:The “women” of Zec 5:9 are not angels, they are women in a vision. “Women” in Hebrew is “eesh-shaw” but angel in verse 10 is “mal-lawk.” They are not the same.There are no female angels in scripture.

Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 04 2011,12:51)I think that ya'll should study how the Jews spoke about 'the Word of God' in their paraphrase of the scriptures.  I believe it is called the Talmud or the Targums but if you want to know more, I can dig it up for you.From what I remember, the Jews would replace 'Jehovah' with 'the Word of God' when Jehovah…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Oct. 02 2011,04:53)Gene,You need to research John 1:1 a little more.  The Word is never called “THE God” in that verse.  And “THE God” is the only one we call “God”, with a capped “G”.All others are called “gods” in English, with a lower case “g”.And since the Word was WITH “THE God” in the beginning, he couldn't possibly have B…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Oct. 02 2011,01:57)It is scriptural that David is the root of Jesus – ACCORDING TO THE FLESH – making Jesus the branch of David.  But it is equally scriptural that Jesus is ALSO the Root of David, meaning that in some way, Jesus came BEFORE David.
