Terrarica,

first I don’t care about anyone /Jew/gentile or other what scriptures says is what goes ;

This is the confession I spoke of.

You always interpret words or they would be meaningless to you. If you don’t go by what others say then it follows you go by what you say.

Paul, John, Matthew, and others are Jews. Many of those that h…[Read more]

Tony M,

Yes, I can see where that would lead to doubting the doctrine of the WT.

Terrarica,

A good verse for all Scripture is the “proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise. “

Terrarica,

So you confess to inventing you own meanings for Scripture. That is already seen by the fact you seek to force Scripture to say what you want and do not go to God in order to understand it.

You fail to understand when John says ” In him was life; and the life was the light of men” that he is speaking about who it is also said “man…[Read more]

Terrarica,

I admit, I assume you have not changed your opinion of the Scriptures but if you have then they disagree with what is actually written about creation and the viewpoints that the Jews listening to Jesus had on them.

Scripture teaches God created the heavens and the earth and all things in them through his word and living creatures…[Read more]

Terrarica,

I believe what God says and not what you say and God states “the worlds have been framed by the word of God”.

Why do you doubt?

Terrarica,

You voice an opinion.

You choose to believe God is speaking to the Christ without solid supporting Scriptural evidence.

As evidence you use your opinion of what Colossians 1:15 and therefore it is not solid supporting evidence.

The teaching you adhere to is a house built on sand which the wind blow over and destroy.

Mine is based…[Read more]

T8,

Thank you for that insight.

Terrarica,

I do not deny Scripture but instead show it is wiser to interpret it a way you have not embraced.

I assume you mean 1:26 not 1:27.

Genesis 1:26 teaches us that God addressed his angels a viewpoint that has been held by many Jews and is gaining adherents among Trinitarians and other Christians.

In Scripture some messengers are…[Read more]

Terrarica,

Do you think a person who loves to sin would want to believe their is a way to stop sinning or that they will be saved from destruction despite their love of sin?

To all that are concerned,

The two oldest manuscripts of Mark 16 do end at verse 8 but considering that they are manuscripts from the 300’s.

There is also a “shorter ending” and a “longer ending” that go on after verse 8 as well as variation of those two. The “longer ending” is the one in modern bibles.

The words after verse 8 are therefore…[Read more]

Terrarica,

I hear your conclusion but have no idea how you believe that “all the wicked ones” would put on the new man created in the image of God’s righteousness and holiness”. Please explain!

Terrarica,

Philippians 2 actually is a repeat of what I have written already. The word made humanity has the form of God just like those that hold to the gospel also do. Like him they “do not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but make themselves nothing, take the very nature of a servant, and are made in human likeness.

Their…[Read more]

Terraricca,

He is the word that comes from God’s mouth.

“No one” includes spiritual beings as God is invisible.

The words are “no one” and not “no man” so no creature has seen God whether a native of heaven or earth but the Spirit has seen him and teaches the deep things of God to those that live by it.

If you want to call the Word given the…[Read more]

Terrarica,

I have read Genesis 1 and there is not one word about God creating “all things that have been made” by an spiritual being but there are many words about how he created them by the word that comes from his mouth.

Terrarica,

I have read Genesis 1 and there is not one word about God creating “all things that have been made” but there are many words about how he created them by the word that comes from his mouth.

Terrarica,

John 1 does reflect on Colossians 1:17 because we are taught that the word that comes out of the mouth of God has the characteristics of God and the it was given the characteristics of humanity. We also know that it was not given the characteristics of humanity by uniting the John the Baptist but instead was given the characteristics…[Read more]

Terrarica,

Like other humans he is called the image of the invisible God. (Colossians 3:10)

Jesus is called the firstborn of creation just like when God states he will appoint ‘David’ his firstborn son. (Psalms 89:27)
