Hi Ja, yes, we all make mistakes and have areas of ignorance. It's just this statement that I think you lacked insight into: Quote You have just realised that saying all things, including humans and the angels were created through him, you come across your first cunundrum… Why are humans called, and to be called, 'Sons of God'. And why are…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ Oct. 27 2010,01:31)So David,Solomon built the temple to house the Ark of the Covenant, and make it, metaphorically, the dwelling place of God.Yet it is called ''Solomon's Temple''.So,…'Jesus' created the Angels and Mankind 'for' God, but yet they are not called, ''Sons of Jesus'', ''Jesus' Sons''.What's your point?And by the…[Read more]

T8, I think something might be messed up with this specific thread. I posted, but can't see it.

Quote Why are humans called, and to be called, 'Sons of God'. And why are Angels also called 'Sons of God'.Why are we told that Solomon built the temple? Why is it called “Solomon's temple”?I really doubt he physically built the temple.He simply provided the means to build it. It was his purpose.'Why are humans called “God's sons”?'Same reason…[Read more]

Quote The Father and Son are both God but not two different Gods; the Son as God is just an extension of the ONE GOD and is inseparable to that ONE GOD. Jesus, as the Son of God, is the God OF the ONE GOD.–LUI noticed in that last sentence you said “Jesus…is the God OF the ONE GOD.”But don't you have that the other way around? 5 times in…[Read more]

What are the actual facts? What does the Bible tell us?1. God's people worshiped God, as in Jehovah God, the God of the Bible.2. Who worshiped Jesus or where are we told of anyone “worshiping” Jesus?3. Jesus told us to worship “God.”4. Are we told to worship God's son, Jesus? People who reject the above use unusual words and strange…[Read more]

“Mike,I'm not saying that the Son 'reflects' the glory of God but IS the actual RADIANCE OF the glory of God and it is creation (not the Son) that reflects that radiance (the light of Christ). The 'radiance' is the light from the light source…the 'light of light.' “Hi Lightenup.Could you define how you understand the word “radiance.” I think…[Read more]

For my own sake, for my own sake I shall act, for how could one let oneself be profaned? And to no one else shall I give my own glory.–Is 48:11“I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory,….”–Is 42:8In the Hebrew Scriptures, the word most often translated “glory” is ka‧vohdh′, which basically has the sense of “h…[Read more]

Quote Just because Steven Hawkin has a electromechanical voice box like Darth Vader doesn't make him any wiser than the ordinary man in the street. It sure makes him “Stephen Hawking” seem wiser though. It seems like he is trapped in that body and he is unable to do anything except think, and then think some more. And that just makes him feel…[Read more]

Where did everyone go? Has this board slowed down? And, I don't think I'm really back. Just passing through. But thank's for the “great.”

Quote It is clear that the early church father's worshiped the SonAll the problems and all the confusion is over the english word “worship” which today means something very specific. However, the words from which it is translated from are not so specific. THERE IN LIES THE PROBLEM.The Greek word pro·sky·néo corresponds closely to the Hebrew te…[Read more]

what if the same “nothing” that created God also created the universe?If one says that the universe needs a cause, as does everything, then shouldn't God need a cause? If the logic is to remain consistent, shouldn't that be true?The answer is of course: “No, God is special. He doesn't need a cause.” Well, one could equally argue that the…[Read more]

Quote “Jehovah” is in the KJ, and not “YHVH” yet YHVH seems to fit the 63 pattern.Yet, if God used the KJ to set out a Bible code, why would he not have His own name fit the pattern?Possible answers:1. There is no pattern. It's a matter of people creating and picking and choosing to arrive at a pattern.2. ?Ed, did you have an alternate…[Read more]

Quote Not once in the NT have I seen the name YHWH.The poetic shortened for “Yah” as in “Halleluyah” or “praise Yah” does appear in Revelation.We don't have the original manuscripts. Unlike the Hebrew scriptures, the originals were written on a much less sustainable material. We only have copies of copies.Do you think that when the inspired…[Read more]

Quote Many times in the OT (especially in Psalms) in the middle of a sentence or paragraph one person is talking and then it changes to another.In Revelation, it was a Revelation from God given to Jesus, who told an angel to show it to John who is telling it to us, or Jesus “slaves” or servants. (A lot of room for confusion there.)

Quote Why is the one book, that was suppose to have nothing added or nothing deleted would have such a problem?For the same reason that Jesus illustrations were meant to be understood by only his followers.Revelation was written in signs to show Jesus’ slaves (and not the world in general) the things that would take place.  (Rev 1:1,2)  Much lik…[Read more]
