Shimmer, elsewhere, Jesus said that his followers are to be “no part of the world.” What do you make of that? (John 17:14; John 15:17-19)

Quote The thread is about Elohim (not animals) and God's two essences.Yes, I know, but you are basing your whole idea on the scripture in Genesis, and wouldn't it therefore make sense to look at it in context?While it doesn't specifically say that this is how humans differ from animals, if you look at the scripture in context, it may well imply…[Read more]

Quote the Divine=63 Deity=63 of The Bible=63 is YHVH=63. The implicationsof this statement are obvious. Numbers link the association of certainideas together within a number category that I call “The God numbers”.Hi Ed, my point was that the KJ has “Jehovah” in it, but I don't think it has YHVH. Yet, YHVH=63. Jehovah does not. So, if the KJ…[Read more]

Quote Eloh = base (noun, feminine)im = ending (noun, masc, plural)It seems that everything I check seems to say that Elohim comes from Eloah. I have great difficulty finding the connection to Eloh. Could you help?

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 03 2010,06:38)Quote (david @ Aug. 03 2010,04:49)Hello David,”God is a spirit” the Bible says.  Hi david,Would you also say: “God is Holy”?If so, then connect them! (Click Here)Man says that! There is NO indefinite article in either Hebrew or Greek!It should read: “God is Spirit”, and because “is” is also added; It's really “God…[Read more]

Quote Hello David,Thank you for your assurance that the Bible does not say this:Gen 1:27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.I'd rather believe the Bible than have your assurances. I really believe it can mean what it says.Regardless of how you try to define “image” you will end up…[Read more]

Quote To my understanding as author of this Thread I am to keep the posts on topic.I think the Administrators are supposed to do that. (I've often tried to do that myself. What I often do, is after a thread has gone downhill, I just start a duplicate thread, which people don't like….but then again, I don't like threads going off track…[Read more]

Quote v.27 repeated “image” twice and then said that “male and female” were God's image. I don't want to debate the word “image” and what that means…..I only know the product of “image” = male and female And I know that because GOD SAID SO in verse 26.I assure you it does not say that “'male and female' were God's image,” as though to say:…[Read more]

I tend to believe that when the Bible says that no man may see God and live, it is because it we were to actually see him with our eyes, it would be like staring into the sun from a meter away.

Quote You are right about “elohim” referring to gods. Notice the only time it is “singular” is when it is referring to The Supreme Being, God, and that is what this Thread is all about. That is why I put my comment in how I thought that Elohim is the NAME of this Supreme Being to distinguish Himself from all other “gods”–DBFDavid, some people…[Read more]

Quote If you allow yourself to see the possibility of Elohim being God Most High as an umbrella and under Him being “YHVH and Spirit” then you will be able to think on your own concerning the Bible and not need any church to do your thinking for you. Nor will you argue their philosophy but have your own; based only on the Bible.–DBFIt's just…[Read more]

Quote If you have a predisposition to believe one way because of “Church Teachings” feel free to say so. Biases always influence how we choose to look at Scripture. While I don't think that God has male reproductive organs or male Genes or DNA, I do know that he chooses to be called “Father.” This is what I know and this is my bias.If I was…[Read more]

So what you're saying is that A=1, B=2, C=3, etc?

Quote JustAskin! Tell you I would never go to a witch hunt or anything like it…..–IreneDo they still have witch hunts where you live? And where do you live?

Ed, could we please call him DBF, or DavidBF, or Professor? (I spent a good 3 seconds being confused and frustrated at you for posting that to me.)David.
