“Almighty” is most often associated with “God,” and the term “God Almighty” occurs frequently. Since Jehovah is specifically and without question called God a thousand times in scripture, the “burden of proof” clearly rests on anyone who wants to prove that the words “God Almighty” refers to anyone but Jehovah.Yet, somehow, Is 1:18 is trying to f…[Read more]

Quote I've asked David to do this once and he declined. Is 1:18, wouldn't it be easier for you to tell me where Santa claus is, then for me to tell you where he is not?Quote Because Yeshua and the Father are both given the appelative “El Gibbor” the MikeBoll/Watchtower assertion that these two denote different categories of ontology is…[Read more]

Quote Remember the Roadrunner and the Coyote cartoons? The Coyote's booby trap would backfire and the anvil would fall and crush him instead of the Roadrunner.–Kangaroo JackI think I am beginning to understand why Kangaroo Jack thinks the way he does.

“Duh! If you can't apply your logic consistently then you should dump it.“–Kangaroo Jack, another thread.LISTEN TO YOURSELF!Either being called “savior” means you must be God, or it doesn't. Here are two examples where it DOESN'T: Othniel (Judges 3:9) and Ehud (Judges 3:15).Therefore, KJ, in your words:If you can't apply your logic consistently…[Read more]

Kangaroo Jack, how do you feel about the fact that I asked your trinitarian friends if they supported you, and they made no response?KJ, do you still think you are right?

Quote (david @ May 31 2010,08:07)“TO ALL:The name “YHWH” indeed translates into “kurios” ALWAYS!”—Kangaroo JackHe further states:“let . . . David explain why the author to the Hebrews quotes Psalm 102:25-27 from the Septuagint in Hebrews 1:10. The original Hebrew says “YHWH” but the Septuagint says “Kurios” and the apostle quoted the Septuagint.”…[Read more]

It doesn't really matter that the evolutionary world view doesn't lead to a sense of fulfillment or meaning.If anything, the fact that people so very much desire meaning and that they find meaning in religion but not in evolution would seem to be proof towards evolutionists being less biased.If it is truth we are after, it shouldn't matter if that…[Read more]

When we read that Othniel (Judges 3:9) and Ehud (Judges 3:15) are both called “saviour” (same Hebrew word translated “saviour” at Is. 43:11 is translated “deliverer” in KJV – compare ASV), should we really believe they are both Jehovah because “besides there is no saviour”?Your point was that Moses was among the saved. So? I think you forget…[Read more]

Quote The name “Jesus” means “Jehovah saves.” Why is Christ's name Jesus if He is not Jehovah and Savior? The name “Jesus” does NOT belong to the Father.I'm sorry. This logic, reasoning is not very clear. Is he saying that because the name “Jesus” means “Jehovah saves” that this is proof that Jesus is Jehovah?For this to be consistent, why don't…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ June 01 2010,02:51)That's SF for ya… “So Funny”SF, I agree…David… I think it is because the answer is SO OBVIOUS everyone thought it embarrassing to respond.David, don't lose heart – you are right!Yes JA, you would think. And yet, Kangaroo Jack hasn't.

In my debate with Mike I demonstrated that the word “protokos” or “firstborn” means that Christ is the Son of honor and not literally “firstborn”–Kangaroo JackThough the word “firstborn” literally refers to a child not preceded by another child in birth–Kangaroo JackConfusing.

It was long believed (and still is by some, I guess) that the Tetragrammaton did not appear in copies of the Septuagint. Thus, it was argued that when the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures, they would not have used the divine name in their writing.A series of discoveries made over the last hundred years or…[Read more]

Interestingly, Origen himself stated that “in the most accurate manuscripts THE NAME occurs in Hebrew characters, yet not in today’s Hebrew , but in the most ancient ones.”Anyway, to try to make this a little more simple, let's consider how Deut 32:3,6 differ over time.The Hebrew manuscript (Aleppo Codex) of De 32:3, 6 contains the divine name.…[Read more]

Commenting on the fact that the as far as it was written by Jews for Jews did not translate the Divine name by kyrios, but the Tetragrammaton written with Hebrew or Greek letters was retained in such MSS . It was the Christians who replaced the Tetragrammaton by kyrios, when the divine name written in Hebrew letters was not understood any…[Read more]

I wonder if they will answer.  To your discredit, kangaroo, they probably will not defend you on this point.MY POSITION (and the obvious truth):Many reference works have suggested that the name ceased to be used by about 300 B.C.E. Evidence for this date supposedly was found in the absence of the Tetragrammaton (or a transliteration of it) in t…[Read more]

Quote (karmarie @ May 27 2010,18:46)Stuart, looks like youve got some-one interesting to talk to and hope your well (fellow NZer).How many people on here are from NZ? And secondly, what do you really think of Australians? Better then you, or worse?

Quote He is laughing when he posts this stuff watching you get into strife trying to make sense of it–JAEvery so often, I consider the possibility that Kangaroo J is just messing with everyone saying as insane a thought as he can make up, for fun. But, I'm certain he is not. He actually believes what he says.

Quote Please try not to stress over KJ's nonesense. He is on a rampage over being trashed elsewhere in the forum. . . . When he posts some outlandish nonesense, just ignore him.–JaI know I should, but the more ridiculous a statement is, the more I want to shake the person and show them the truth. And I find myself wanting to shake Kangaroo a…[Read more]

And of course the NT writer's did not hold back in their exaltation of Yeshua either. The highest possible statements are made of Him. As an aside – it's interesting to me that readers…[Read more]

Quote I was replying to Jodi Lee's insinuation that Jesus had no say in offering Himself up to die for us.–KJKJ, (this is another confusing name, as KJ has been used for KJ bible about 10,000 times on here.)KJ, I agree with you on that point. However, I disagree with your words which are basically the EXACT opposite of what the Bible says:“Jesus…[Read more]
