Mike…..Are we clear on the English word (WAS) yet? As meaning coming to (be) or exist a certain way, but not nessarely meaning that it “always”, was that way? Can you allow your mind to even consider that possibility IN Genesis 1v2 ?

GeneBalthrop replied to the topic Conspiracy theories, myths, or truth? in the forum Truth or Tradition 3 years, 10 months ago
Mike even the word (was) in English does not mean it “always” existed that way. Example,
The car “was” red doesn’t mean it “now” is red. But at one time it became or came to be red.
The apple was red, or ripe, of dosen’t mean it now is , it just mean at a time it became those things.
Let’s, let the English definition settle this ok.…[Read more]

BEREAN……No, in the begining was step one and in that step God created the heavens and the earth, that had nothing to do with a single day or day one, As you falsely assume. Heaven and earth was already in existence when the Spirit of God moved upon the waters, so it could have not been created later right? Common sense 101.

Mike…… but yes it would make sense to say the hand of God became against Isreal, when you consider it was not alway against Israel right, this show a process had taken place over time. We all know God was not “always” against Israel. Right? So this could also apply to this earth as “becoming” or coming to be, (to-hu and bo-hu ) right? …[Read more]

Mike……I would like you to focus on a single word for a change, the word used in Gen 1v2, “And the earth (was) this word came from the Heb word ” (haw-yaw) . Strong H1961
Haw-yaw …….A primitive root meaning, to exist, that is, , (be “OR” become, or came to pass) to be to-hu and bo-hu (meaning empty) ; a vacuity, that is (superf…[Read more]

Berean…….If you believe Jesus is God, you are a novice, and haven’t began to understand the truth yet. Jesus is indeed the word of God, that came into being when he was born on this earth exactly as we are , yes he was “the prophesied ” word “FULFILLED”, , but he himself is not God the Father’s word (himself), just as he said he was…[Read more]

Proclaimer…….what makes you think being a partaker of the Devine nature, makes you not a human being? All who have the Spirit of the living God have the Devine nature in them. Any human being who has been “ANOINTED” with the Spirit of the living God , has it.
How does that change, the idea of, Jesus having partaking the “Devine natu…[Read more]

LU……..AZ I have said , I was a grape farmer for many years, I think I know how a vine work’s more then most . THE VINE in the parable is Jesus, who came from the “root ” of Jesse and was an “offspring” of the family of King David, just as he said he was. Rev 22: 16.

Mike…..I also agree with LU, IF David meant god’s, the Greek word “theos” would have been used there.
Mike, the question is do you “truly”, believe what Jesus said, “this is eternal life, that they might know “YOU” , the “ONLY” “TRUE” God”…….Why would Jesus use the word “only” , if there were other “true” God’s, common sense questi…[Read more]

Mike, “Hugh” problem, you still have , is your, not understanding the word God , big or little, comes from the same word, and is never describes the person, it describes is “YOUR”, relationship with any object that exists, that you “worship” and lean on for your power and strength, that’s “YOUE” ”TRUE”, and can be anything or anyone living…[Read more]

To All…….the stumbling block is the word (WAS) that is used there, “and the earth was”. That word “was”, in the original Hebrew should be , (became) or (came to be). Exactly as eplained , it should read, the earth “became ” to-hu and bo-hu, coruppted and void.
Where does it say God created everything “perfect” at. Because God said it wa…[Read more]

LU……No, the one who dress and pruns is the “vine dresser “, the vine, is the whole thing which includes the branches, the dresser is God, Who owns the vine and it’s branches, and causes it to grow and produce fruit.

LU……There exists, no vine NOR HUMAN, that did not come from another (branch) exactly like it, and there exist no branch , that did not come from another vine exactly like it also, they “ALL”, come from one planting, of “ONE”, God.
