Gène 

You don’t understand what I wrote.
As a man, Jesus was completely dependent on His Father for all things and even for the use of his own divine power which he retained (he was still God) with which he performed his miracles.
His greatest temptation was surely to resist using his own Divinity to come to his rescue.
THIS CAN BE SEEN WHEN HE W…[Read more]

Can you admit that the name that is written King of kings and Lord of Lords can rightfully be called God’s Word, because it is just that, God’s word given to the prophets?

We must now briefly trace the progress of the Bibles and of Christianity in their march through the West. At the time when Jerome was engaged on the

Wouldn’t that be a better description for being the first to be with God as opposed to always existing with God? Somebody had to be first right? Who was that? Someone very special I imagine. Perhaps the most special besides God himself.

You said, “I do not rely on these verses for the origins of Jesus…” Even though it states in virtually every translation Christ was “foreknown”, “foreordained”, or “before known”. By rejecting the content of these verses and the meaning of foreknown, it would mean those in Rom 8:26 all existed in heaven before beginning this li…[Read more]

They have rejected nearly all scriptures in the Old Testement,   and established the false religion of the Greek Platonic idololigies ,  they are idolaters, and will be rejected not only by God the Father, but by Jesus himself at his return, just as “2 ths2”, says.  It’s all there for those who have “eyes to see”.  …[Read more]

Your breaking of biblical “missiles” have no effect on the truth expressed in John 1.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
