would you say the gospels are all in line with each other? If one says something completely different than the others what would that mean?

Bod, those who say that every word in the Bible comes from God, are wrong.

The Bible contains the Words of God (thus saith YHWH), but it also contains Psalms and Proverbs which are written mostly…[Read more]

I hope you don’t mind me coming in on this conversation between you and Kerwin. Jonah indeed escaped death from Hell, which is spiritual separation from God, but do you really believe that he escaped physical death?

Jesus escaped eternal death. He was accused of blasphemy and died just as the scriptures state that he did,…[Read more]

God bless you Bo!

To be fair, you do not believe in the Father because your book says God has no son. Thus to adhere to your book, you have to deny the Father and Son. If there is no Son, there is no Father.

I believe in God, I believe in Christ, I believe you can call people sons and daughters and children of God but those labels are not…[Read more]

Your article should have correct info: THERE is no prophesied Islamic Mahdi in the Quran, in the Quran it only talks about the return of Jesus Christ, wouldn’t it be better to research what’s in the Quran rather than make articles based upon bad info? Here is a place you can search the Quran and have knowledge when you rep…

Plus LU you keep assuming that the word Lord means divine so lets see:

There is a reason for that 🙂
John 18:36
Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not…[Read more]

you asked:

So “Today I have begotten you” means there was a point in time in which he was begotten, right?

Time is relative as to who’s perspective you are referring to, man’s or God’s. The day the Son was begotten was a specific event which happened before creation. He existed before this event in a pre-begotten state.

Also, there would be no death if there was no evil, therefore, evil has the power of death and satan is the leader of evil. Jesus took away that power. People’s bodies still die but their soul goes to Paradise to…[Read more]

Welcome back 🙂

Jesus was created by God and not through the seed of man.

His flesh was created to contain always existent living spirit.

Now why exactly did God need to make himself a man that must be crucified?

Heb 2

You say that He can’t be 100% God and 100% man. I…[Read more]

I would have to say false because Jesus was created by the Word of God and not by the seed of anyone. If he was then he is the son of Adam and not born like Adam without sin, so I ask you is Jesus the seed of Adam as he is called the seed of David and David is the seed of Adam

Christ is identified as the seed of Abraham.…[Read more]

Hi Bo, are you aware that the Hebrew word that is used for ‘seed’ is not always referring to male semen?  You seem to equate it with that. Maybe I am not understanding you and what your point is.

you said:

“Seed” can only refer to a males offspring. It is a gender specific statement. Mary does not have a seed so Jesus was never the seed of Mary although indirectly he could be called the seed of Adam.

This proves you are incorrect:
Gen 3:15
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her see…[Read more]

Regarding Elijah and Enoch, you are right, they were taken up to heaven without dying. What is your point about this? However, Jesus died, i.e. His flesh died but the person of Jesus that dwelt in that flesh continued and was reunited with…[Read more]

if the NT /the gospels don’t state these things how do you assert them?

Jesus came into flesh through the seed of a woman and He is the only one that has defeated the power of death and satan. Do you disagree with that?

Also, Peter writes in 1 Peter 2 that Jesus is the cornerstone, the stone of stumbling that is w…[Read more]

you said:

Now as far as John 1:1, there is an automatic tendency to equate that verse to Genesis, because we read about “The beginning” in Genesis we take John 1:1 in the same context but on closer examination it appears John is speaking about Jesus in the context of a not so distant pas…

Sometimes ‘eternal’ does mean always existent. The eternal life that is spoken about in 1 John 1 is Jesus and the Bible clearly tells us that He is the source of life. The source of life would not have a source of his life or that source would be the source of lif…

Luke 1:2

“Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning (arche) were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word (logos)”

Notice the term “beginning” and “logos” how is it you take this beginning and logos differently from John 1:1?

The context is different.

Do you believe all the words of the scriptures excluding Paul’s epistles?

If you believe all the words of the scriptures then you would see that Jesus died for the sins of all mankind, and Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father, since His first advent, teachings, death and resurrection.

So Jehovah is more like an office like Christ?

I would say that Jehovah is an always existent entity.

So Melchezidek and Jesus also share a office/priesthood?

No they don’t share an office/priesthood but they both were a king and a priest, a priest in a way that did not come from their lineage. Jesus was from the tribe of…[Read more]

The unity of the two persons of Jehovah is represented by the singular pronoun “He/Him” in some contexts. The church is like this also. There can be many churches in an community but ultimately they are a part of the one church in which Christ is the Head.

You asked for evidence of Jesus being prayed to:

Acts 7:59

They continued to stone Stephen while he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

Well hello Bo, I hope you are doing well!

How is Jesus as theos different from others who are called theos (other than the Father)?

The disciples prayed to Jesus and none of the others who are called theos (other than the Father).

No other theos (other than the Father) can forgive the sins of mankind.
