The translation of the two Hebrew letters into Greek would be 'alpha' and 'omega.'The meaning of the letters in Hebrew have a fuller meaning than just the first and last letter of the alphabet.From what I read, aleph means strength and tav means cross. The reason that you don't know is because you don't know…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Dec. 02 2013,17:41)Hi Kathi:And so, how are you going to prove that he always existed as a sentient being?  If you have the scriptures that show this, please disclose them.Are you aware that He was the eternal life, the wisdom that the Father possessed in the beginning?

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 02 2013,15:55)LU,Was Jesus' body preconceived?No.So are you speaking of preconception of the soul?Kerwin,I didn't say anything was pre-conceived. I used the term 'pre-begotten.'

Since they are non-translatable, you will not find them translated in the Bibles that you read. You can only find them in the Hebrew scriptures. Jesus…[Read more]

Where doe is say that He was not willing to offer Himself, Bo?Perhaps it was just the kind of or the extent of torture that He was about to face, not the death itself that He wasn't willing to take.
