Quote 1) Jesus was made in EVERY WAY like us. I don't know about you, but I am NOT half God and half man or full God and full man. I am, however, in EVERY WAY…fully man!!Did dirt become man in every way? Please answer this, jb.

MikeQuote If these words were originally written in Aramaic, it would make little sense to add those bolded parts, IMO.The translators of the Greek manuscripts add words all the time to clarify. Also, the Aramaic language has different dialects and one dialect may have a unique way of saying something. Think about southern sayings compared to…[Read more]

Mike,Quote These Trinitarians shoot down a good 90% of the usual “Jesus is God proof texts”. I find that not only interesting, but also exhilarating. Actually they don't shoot them down if you read their notes because they usually say these other renderings are certainly possible. That doesn't seem like shooting down anything. Quote Yes, Jesus is…[Read more]

Without that sacrifice that Jesus made we have no salvation. Because of His death on the cross our sins are paid for and the church has been redeemed. The curse that He willingly took upon Himself is our way to freedom from that curse. What a saviour, Jesus Christ…Jesus wins BECAUSE HE WAS SHAMED DYING THE DEATH OF ONE CURSED ON THE CROSS! He…[Read more]

Hi Mike,No, I am not hiding. I am just spending my time researching and with family, and then there was a festival in town for two weeks and I have two jobs. So, I have just been busy with other things.

Finally, for now, you said this:Quote You go on to quote a bunch of verses calling Jesus by Lord. I have already showed that Jesus is Lord. I never denied that. I only reject the notion that Jesus is GOD.Can you admit that YHVH is Lord? Can you admit that you understand that Jesus is a theos?I noticed that you did not address this verse among…[Read more]

Quote (jb2u @ June 11 2013,08:53)Quote Once again, I am not stating that the Targums are inerrant. The Targums definitely state some of the Jews understanding of the OT. So when Jesus speaks about what the Jews knew and that 'the Jews worship what they know,' we can see from the Targums that they worshiped the 'Word of Jehovah' as Jehovah.There…[Read more]

Quote Why would the “grace of God” be “UPON” Jesus (Luke 2:40) if Jesus IS God? Again, this makes NO SENSE if Jesus IS God!Again:Keep in mind that He emptied Himself of whatever was necessary to become like man.Phil 2:7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.Heb 214Since the children have flesh…[Read more]

you ask:Quote WHY would Jesus need the Holy Spirit of God if HE was God?This just would not make sense! Keep in mind that He emptied Himself of whatever was necessary to become like man.Phil 2:7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

Hi jb2u,Quote IF the “word of God” is always Jesus, then how do you explain Luke 3:2I didn't say that the 'word of God' always refers to the Son who became flesh but sometimes it does. In John 1:1, I and the vast majority of Bible students and commentators agree that the Word here is the Son of God. It is kinda like the word kyrios, it doesn't…[Read more]

Hi Bo,you said:Quote Knowing what would happen to him doesn't include his approval, do you not recall he considered the act of Judas as betrayal?The act of Judas was betrayal and another instance where Jesus proclaimed what would take place before it took place.
