Quote (Ed J @ Feb. 25 2012,15:57)Hi David,The “AKJV Bible” uses “the LORD” to differentiate God's name (יהוה YÄ-hä-vā) from Âd-ô-nây meaning “Lord” or Owner.God blessEd J (Joshua 22:34)http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgYes, Ed, I'm well aware of that fact. Doesn't the KJ use LORD (and also GOD sometimes)?But, this doesn't actually address my ques…[Read more]

Quote He would like everyone to repent….why wouldn't he? but he already knows it is not going to happen.In the end he does get everything he desires.Hi Journey. I have said the same thing over the years. But you said:He would like (or desires) everyone to repent.It's not going to happen.He gets everything he desires (or likes).Do you see why I…[Read more]

Ed, it seems that 1 kings 20:28 actually says: “Jehovah is A god.” (So, I probably included that one in the “Jehovah is a god…” list)But thanks for pointing out the other one.

Quote Joshua 22:34, 1Kings 8:60, and 1Kings 20:28.Thanks.

Ed, so, you aren't going to respond to my post. Ok. I understand. Ed, I've often wondered how you feel about the KJ including God's name 5 times, but leaving it out thousands of times?If it was right to include it 5 times, why remove it the other several thousand?And if it was right to take it out, why include it the 5 times?I don't understand…[Read more]

Quote Hi David: JEHOVAH is GOD”(“YHVH is GOD”=117) is actually written “3” times in total, not only once like the N.W.T. has it.Hi Ed. i know this is slightly off topic, but I'm wondering if you could point out where it occurs 3 times. I am sure you are right. I just would like to see it for myself so I can correct it. Thanks.

Quote Hi David: JEHOVAH is GOD”(“YHVH is GOD”=117) is actually written “3” times in total, not only once like the N.W.T. has it.Sorry, Ed, since I was going through the whole Bible, I did that pretty quickly. If I'm off by 2 out of 1000, it's not that bad. But, you understand my point, I assume. Yet, you did not address it.(Ed, on a separate…[Read more]

Nick, just to be clear, are you saying that “the Spirit is God…”?You say the spirit is “of God.” True. the holy spirit is often spoken of possessively. Let's say this: Nicks' finger is “of” Nick. It's a part of Nick. It's something Nick possesses. If I cut your finger, I can also be said to have cut you, Nick. Yet, your finger is a part…[Read more]

Here are reasons that it seems the holy spirit is NOT God.It is in point form. All these points come with many scriptures and are 15 pages long. So, this is the very condensed version:POINT FORM:-The Bible doesn't say the holy spirit is God. (see post above)–The Bible gives no indication that the holy spirt was worshiped.–The Jews and the…[Read more]

Nick, I think you may have fallen into the wrong thread. This thread is discussing whether or not the holy spirit is God.

Quote 3.Teaching bares fruit.If you teach someone to love, that sort of teaching bares fruit. If you teach someone that 1+1=2, they may become smarter and know this truth, but what fruit does it bare?If beliefs such as this were clearly baring fruit, then we could line up all trinitarians on one side and all non-trinitarians on the other side,…[Read more]

With 50% so far voting “other”, I think you should expand your list. Perhaps include: God, by means of his holy spirit, through his son, who he himself created.

Quote The name of the thread you've mentioned is: Trinity and non-Trinity, can both views be correct?The evidence suggests both views are founded in truth.Ed, the very fact that you may literally be the only one in the entire universe who believes this, I find it unlikely.

Hi t8Are those three options the only three options?1. God2. Nothing3. Something eternal but non-personal. wouldn't a non believer say: “how did god get here?”.

What is this stuff about the numbers? And, on an unrelated topic, does .999… equal exactly and precisely 1? Algebra suggests it does.
