Mike.Quote Again, you are talking in riddles. For one, love is never said to have BECOME God, where the Word IS said to have BECOME flesh.God has always been love but the word has not always been flesh. There was a time that it was made flesh. John is speaking of this time. It is a transitional period where it changed from the word not having…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 22 2014,22:28)And what does “given the attribute of being a person” entail?Because it sounds like it means “BECOMING a person”.What exactly is “the attribute of being a person”?  Wouldn't it include having a body, a soul, a spirit, legs, a brain, a heart, a will, etc. ?Mike,Jesus is appointed to the role that God's word…[Read more]

Mike,John 17:24Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.What does Jesus mean when he uses the word glory.  We can read into it and define glory as would fit our idea but that is not wise.  Is it the radiance God gave J…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 22 2014,23:19)Quote (kerwin @ Feb. 22 2014,10:11)I am not sure where you get the idea from Scripture that Jesus' Transfiguring was a foreshadowing of the radiance that he would have.  During that event Jesus was still in his mortal body.Were Moses and Elijah also there in their mortal bodies?  (Luke 9:30-31)Didn't Jesus a…[Read more]

Charles,Quote JESUS PERSONALIZED ALSO FEMINISM SINCE SCRIPTURES IN SOLOMON, PROVERBS, AND JOB PROCLAIMED WISDOM AS FEMININE!They did that because the word wisdom is a feminine noun in Hebrew. The word word is masculine in both Hebrew and Koine Greek.

Mike,Quote Are you saying that the qualities of wisdom and God's word (His knowledge, teachings, instructions, commands, etc.) are personified in the living breathing being Jesus Christ?Yes.Quote (kerwin @ Feb. 21 2014,12:08) ……. but all Scripture actually says is that the word was given the aspect of flesh.Quote Scripture says no such thing.…[Read more]

Mike,Matthew 17:21599 Geneva Bible (GNV)2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the Sun, and his clothes were as white as the light.Mark 9:2-31599 Geneva Bible (GNV)2 And six days after, Jesus taketh unto him Peter, and James, and John, and carrieth them up into an high mountain out of the way alone, and his shape was changed…[Read more]

Mike,Quote Your understanding is that they had already seen Jesus in his glorious new flesh and bone (but no blood) body on earth.That is not my opinion as I see “flesh and blood” as a figure of speech that means mortal body even to this day. I believe the flesh body that arises is not the flesh body that was buried. I believe that Jesus'…[Read more]

Mike,Quote Jesus' hope was for his beloved Apostles to be with him in heaven, so that they could see him “as he is”, and truly see all of the glory he has had with God from before the world began.  (John 17:5)I don not see John 17:5 or 17:24 are talking about radiance either.  Glory on its own is a rather vague term as it has multiple m…[Read more]

Mike,Quote During the transfiguration, three disciples were given a glimpse of what Jesus is now like. They weren't able to see all of his current glory, but were allowed to see a foreshadowing of his current glorious body.I am not sure where you get the idea from Scripture that Jesus' Transfiguring was a foreshadowing of the radiance that he…[Read more]

Mike,I know that God is love means that God has the attribute of love. Jesus is the light means Jesus has the attribute of being the light. It seems it is reasonable that knowing these things that the word was made flesh means that the word was given the attribute of flesh. It is my understanding that is equivalent to saying that the word is…[Read more]

Mike,They are not saying anything like what you are. If you are trying to communicate the same ideas you are failing. What I am hearing from them is that John nor the people is addresses his letter to have not yet appeared in their resurrected body. When Jesus appears to them in his resurrected body then they will appear in theirs.As you say,…[Read more]

2besee,Coffee is a blood thinner. It causes me a headache any time I quit it as the thicker blood puts more pressure behind my eyes. I seem to adjust within a day or two. A couple of aspirins take care of the pain. I stopped the sugar because of being overweight and the creamer has some in it anyways. Tooth decay is also becoming a problem as…[Read more]
