Quote davidI suggest King David is the Key to the kingdom.HI charity. A thread on this subject has just been started.

Quote What do others think? As for the key of knowledge you mentioned, Jesus told the Jewish religious leaders who knew the Mosaic Law: “Alas for you lawyers who have taken away the key of knowledge! You have not gone in yourselves, and have prevented others going in who wanted to.” (Luke 11:52, JB) ‘Prevented others from going in’ where? Jesus t…[Read more]

Quote Hi t8,Do you do whatever the Father and the Son do?–Tim2Quote 1. Jesus says that whatever the Father does, the Son also does. . . .I'd say it's clear that Jesus is affirming His equality with the Father.EPHESIANS 5:1“Therefore, become imitators of God, as beloved children,”If we can be imitators of God, which we clearly can, or it wou…[Read more]

Hi Tim2MATTHEW 12:12“All considered, of how much more worth is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do a fine thing on the sabbath.””Jesus said that it is lawful to do a fine thing on the Sabbath. The law was in regard to work, labour. Teaching others about the kingdom isn't the kind of work that God had in mind. It was the lawless phari…[Read more]

If we don't know what the word “god” means then we don't know what it means when it says that Jesus is God.No one seems to want to touch the question of what that word means except for Tim2 who keeps repeating that “God” means YHWH which of course it doesn't. Substitute “YHWH” in every instance where the word “God” is and a lot of things will…[Read more]

Quote If he is the “Only True God” then stop calling other beings God which are no Gods at all!WJ, why don't you go back in time and tell the Bible writers not to do this either.Clearly there is something deeply wrong with your thinking.You seem to be completely unaware of what the word “god” actually means or how it is used in the entire…[Read more]

Quote In order for Jesus to be fully God, he must be fully God all of the time!Right. The Bible clearly says that Jesus “BECAME flesh.” He didn't wear flesh or he was't part flesh, part God. He “became” flesh. I would take that to mean what it says.And if it doesn't mean what it says, then would someone please answer WIT's…[Read more]

Quote Again I will answer you, however I get the feeling that no amount of scriptural truth saying Jesus is God and man will change your mind.–WJApparently, WJ is going to “answer you” by explaining that “Jesus is God.”Wow. I don't think he actually knows what the questions are.

Quote I will post when I am ready. I am not avoiding anything.–WJSo, I take it no one has actually answered those questions yet.And I assume no one will ever answer those question.And I assume that although some are not “avoiding” those questions they will continue to post completely different ideas without ever actually trying to answer those…[Read more]

Quote Where does it say the Holy Spirit doesn't know?–tIM 2MARK 13:32““Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father.”“nobody” including “the Son” knew the day or the hour, but only “the Father.”If the holy spirit is a person, one of the Godhead, why didn't he know?Many try to dodge the f…[Read more]

Quote “For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.” Quote Jesus kept the Law perfectly, and he declared: “It is lawful to do good on the sabbath.”—Matt. 12:10-12, RS. So you see, it was their belie…[Read more]

Quote “He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.” Was he breaking the Sabbath? They thought so. Was he? I'm not certain he was. He was breaking their added rules, if I remember correctly.This is what they, (those who wanted him dead) thought. I don't think the Lord of the…[Read more]

Quote Elohim is interchangeable with YHWH.Tim is a human. Therfore, I can use the word “human” and everyone will know I'm talking to you.Oh, but wait. In the Bible, the word “god” is used of many different ones.Satan is the god of this world.Satan is the YHWH of this world.??Nope. They aren't interchangeable.”God” is a descriptive word. It…[Read more]

Quote We already know from John 5:18 that being the Son means being equal to the Father. Those “seeking to kill him” believed that Jesus was “calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.”They equated the two: Calling God his Father with putting himself on a level plane with the king of the universe.Of course, Jesus, himself, actually…[Read more]

Quote the Gloria Patra.just curious as to what this is?

Happy is the nation whose God is Jehovah,–Ps 33:12; 144:15These are the only two places in the Bible were it says: “Elohim is YHWH” as you state.Jehovah is God. God is a descriptive word. It can be applied to angels, Satan, Moses, judges, etc.Jehovah is God, is true, obviously, because the word fits. In fact, it fits in a way that it fits no…[Read more]

Quote But He laid aside His priviliges and subordinated Himself to the Father. So this subjection or subordination was only while he was human, on earth?1 CORINTHIANS 15:28“But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.”

Quote hus, by His confession, He did not know the hour of His second coming. This was a voluntary giving up of knowledge. And the holy spirit? Why didn't he know?
