Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 16 2013,05:22)Kerwin,I'm also waiting for you to explain away the word “AND” in John 1:14 – so your “Word-Made-Flesh” title thing works.Also, as an afterthought to my last post:God is power.  Is power God Himself?God is just.  Is justice God Himself?God is faithful.  Is faithfulness God Himself?God is kind.  Is kin…[Read more]

Mike,Quote I wholeheartedly agree with the first statement, Kerwin.  God IS love.  I disagree that love is God.  In fact, I've shown SCRIPTURAL reference to the fact that “love” is not God.I was speaking the way English is used.  Some people see the statement Love is God in the equivalent manner as they see God is Love.  Neither statement is expl…[Read more]

T,I am showing you an example of the pattern that applies to “Hope is God”, “Love is God” and “the Word is God”. These are three different but related concepts.

To all,Satan tempted Jesus to proskynēsēs him.We are to proskynēseis only God.Neither form is used in relation to Jesus though I believe they share a root to those of words that were. Something to look into.

T,Quote Hope is GodHope begins with God. It is God who gives us the energy and hopes to deal with. God is the way to get hopes. If there was no supernatural power then hopes can not be turned into reality. Hope is the power which gives energy to individuals.  We often hear cases when individuals are cheated or ditched. That does not mean that it…[Read more]
