terraricca,

It says a lot.

terricca,

I am not in disagreement with t8 essential claim. I am not sure of what some of the details of his claim are.

T,

It is obvious that those who believe Jesus Anointed is God and study Scripture are in self denial because it is a broken teaching and Jesus declares Scripture cannot be broken.

Mike,

Hi!

I posted to you earlier but I see no reason to overload you.

Nick,

The Spirit draws you to Jesus in order to be taught so there is at least guidance beforehand. It is stronger after you are born of the Spirit.

Nick,

I have no idea how our words relate to my post.

Gene,

Mankind is created a little lower than the angels which tells you the angels themselves are not subject to him. All God’s works were put under his feet except the angels or he would not be a little lower than them. Angels are clearly the only exception since it was the earth that was placed under Adam’s feet. (Genesis 2)

Nick,

The Spirit guides and leads if we let it.

Nick,

At first I thought you were accusing Paul of using the wisdom of the wise but I hope the thought was wrong.

The wisdom of the wise is of the flesh and and not the Spirit so is not wisdom. The wisdom that is true comes from God.

I assume you know these things.

Nick,

The good news is not the wisdom of the wise. Why do you think it is?

Princess,

Those that claim to follow the Christ.

Nick,

It is the Spirit that teaches. It is for others to judge if the case I make comes from the Spirit or from flesh.

Nick,

I do but you would rather hear a multitude of words without understanding than a few with. The wise seek understanding.

Gene,

Hebrews 2:6-11 is only speaking of Jesus. In the context of where it is cited from it does speak of humanity being put the creations of earth. Certain Jewish use of Scriptures of that age can be confusing to us of this age.

Gene,

T8’s argument is that Jesus is a messenger and not an angel. He has not made it clear whether he considers that messenger to be a human being that preexisted his conception or a spiritual being that preexists his condition. I find the later possibility a dodge to avoid conflicting with passages that make it clear Jesus is not an angel,…[Read more]

Gene,

Consider reading t8’s post to Mike as you may understand his viewpoint a little better and so address it.

T8,

Malachi 3:1
1 “See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty.

I can see your point here but Exodus 23:20-23 could be any messenger, even Moses and Joshua. I do not thi…[Read more]

AndrewAd,

I can make a strong case that Solomon’s line is not the genetic line of the Anointed. Since it is Joseph’s line it follows it still has some connection to the the Messiah.

I can also make the case that God has not always chosen a decedent of the last king to make the next king of though he kept the crown in the line of Solomon.

I…[Read more]

Andrew,

The English is fine but it is the practices of the Jews of that day that confuse the issue of those that lack knowledge. Swapping out the name of the wife for the husband and calling him the son of her father may confuse those whose culture does not have the concept. Even then the fact that Luke is writing Mary’s story of Jesus’…[Read more]

Andrew,

I have no problem with reason as Paul, and even Jesus used it to spread the truth. I regard human reason as reason that is not based on the principles of God.

What I believe is based on Spiritual reason that can be tested for truth though many will not believe it even then. The Bereans tested Paul’s words by seeing if they agreed with…[Read more]
