Nick,You are not even adhering to your own formula.  You wrote:Quote So my formula isDust moulded by God =manDust + breath of God=man=Living soul.By your own formula, a living soul is one part body and one part spirit.  Yet you go on to say:Quote He remains made up of parts- body, soul and spirit and only the word of God can clearly separate t…[Read more]

Quote Hi david and Adam,Would you have preferred scripture to say that man was made a lifeless being and the God blew into his nostrils life?The equation is pretty simple:man(1) + breath of life(2) = living soul(3)”And the God formed man of the dust of the ground(1), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life(2); and man became a living…[Read more]

Quote Dust is what we started as, then life and soul was added by the breath of God to make Adam a living being.Are you adding your own understandings to scripture, Nick?  Genesis 2:7 does not say, “and God added life and soul to the dust by breathing into it“.  It says, “And the God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his n…[Read more]

Soxan,Quote Revelation 1:4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed…[Read more]

Quote psThough your Rev Blume is deceived. He says that Jn 1.1 says the Word is “God Himself”,”the God”.Not so.To confuse the Son with his Father is surely folly and no basis for further building of doctrines or useful teachings. I am fully aware that Mike Blume is mislead about who God is.  However, I still think that the historical information…[Read more]

Quote trinity is a word that describes god. the word trinity not being in the bible is the worst argument. No, actually the worst argument is this:”No, the word 'trinity' is not in the bible.  It's true that phrases like 'God the Son', 'God the Holy Spirit', and 'three in one' are completely absent from scripture.  Yes, it's also true that c…[Read more]

For those of you who insist that Yeshua is Yahweh, consider these scriptures that show a clear distinction between God, (not just the Father), and Yeshua:Quote “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” – Luke 2:52“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders…[Read more]

Nick,As usual Nick, you are not answering simple questions.  It's amazing how you and T8 turn simple questions into mystical semantic gymnastics.  Here's the question for you again:If you wish to deny that for you there are two gods, then tell me for you who is not God.  Yeshua or Yahweh?I will not ask the question again, because your answer, or…[Read more]

Nick wrote:Quote 1 Jn 4.2 says Jesus Christ “came in the flesh” not “was the flesh”. This scripture calls him by his human name and yet says he partook of flesh. It surely tells us he existed in some another form before he was sent to “come in the flesh”. This is the antichrist test-do you pass it?Yes, Nick, I pass the test.  I believe that…[Read more]

Nick,Before you start trying to judge whether or not a man is deceived, why don't you try answering Is1:18's question?  I have given my answer.  You may reject it if you wish.  He has given his answer which you also may reject.  But rather than dodging the question, why don't you just answer it?  It is truly a “cornerstone” issue.  Do you have…[Read more]

Quote Hi Rudy,  These are a good collection of verses.The angel told John not to worship him but to worship God. (Rev. 19:10)  Why did Jesus accept the worship and not forbid it like the angel did?  I think your conclusion has to be right.  Greg Greg, are you and Rudy prepared to accept David as God too?  By your logic you must:1 Chronicles 21:”…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ April 25 2005,06:07)Hi t8,It occurred to me today that we have been debating the deity of Jesus Christ for quite some time now, and we have certainly covered the “Who is Jesus” angle in quite some detail. But we have basically neglected the issue of What Jesus is, or specifically – What kind of being is Jesus? I think this is an…[Read more]

Quote Hi WIT,Good to see you back though we still have to meet on the bridge.Yes, and here is the gate that keeps me from crossing that bridge:Isaiah 43:10″'You are My witnesses,' says ,       'And My servant whom I have chosen,       That you may know and believe Me,       And understand that I am He.       Before Me there was no God formed,…[Read more]

Hi Nick,It's been a while!  I see you are still posting away like crazy.  Personally, I am just trying to get through some basic scripture studies.  Anyway, here's some food for thought:When you say that only the body dies at death, you are saying that a man does not really die.  You are saying that he lives on just the same, only in a dif…[Read more]

Nick,Quote Why be God and do the work yourself?Genesis 2:”2And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.”T8,Quote Quote (WhatIsTrue @…[Read more]

Nick,After reading your last post, it has become painfully clear to me that we are not speaking the same language or reading the same scriptures.  For example, you said:Quote Why do I get the impression your God is too small?I have NO idea where you would get this impression. Your own set of beliefs reduces Yahweh to a voice, aside from the…[Read more]

Nick,I think that you and I were posting at the same time yesterday, so you might have missed my post.  (It was posted just before yours.)  If not, forgive the silly reminder!

Nick,Quote Welcome back WITThank you!Quote All I know is that there are certain principles that can be applied to scripture that help it reveal itself to us.One of those it that if a scriptural fact is revealed at least twice it is true By this we know that Jesus was raised by his Father as that fact is shown many times where the verse in Jn 2.19…[Read more]

Nick,Quote So , in the light of this fact you have to go back to John 2.19 and try to understand it in the light of what DID happen, as I have already explained. What should we do if we cannot grasp it's meaning? Reject the verse? Reject the chapter or perhaps the whole gospel of John? I think not. It would be better to put it back in the…[Read more]

OK.  One last quick response before I hop in the car!Nick,Quote The first scripture above tells us both are to be used but the NT interprets the OT.Then could you please tell me what the noble Bereans were using to verify Paul's doctrine?Quote As i pointed out Jesus did not raise himself so that scripture has to be interpreted according to what…[Read more]
