1.  KATHI, WHO EXACTLY IS THE “GOD” THAT YOU WORSHIP AND SERVE AS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN, EARTH, SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM?
YAHWEH, THE GOD OF GODS AND THE LORD OF LORDS.

Mike, who exactly do you think is the theos of this age that blinds the mind of the unbelievers?

Mike,

To sum up all your posts today, you don’t believe that the only begotten God, Jesus, shares the name of YHVH. I do. That very point is blinding you to the gospel of God. In that way, the God of this age (Peter’s righteous God and Savior, Jesus Christ) has blinded you. This is not so different to  the light came into the world and some…[Read more]

Gene,

There is a manner in which Jesus is the only begotten Son. It wasn’t from the dead. He was the only begotten Son that was the only begotten son who existed before he was sent into the world and therefore before he died. 

What is that son’s name, Gene?

Mike,

You said:

The English word “angel” refers to a messenger who is also a supernatural spirit son of God.  Jesus is exactly that.  It’s just that in the Bible, they are called “messengers” and “gods” – not ever “angels”.

Not so…

Mike,

First question:

Yes.

Second question:

Yes, if the angel is also “the Word” that was with God in the beginning.

Gene,

Please tell us what is the name of the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON referred to here as spoken by Jesus:

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life.17For God did not…[Read more]

I should be able to get to that by Sunday. Don’t work too hard 😉

Berean,

Why do they use the feminine pronoun for a neuter noun (light) that is applied to a male? Do you know?

Thanks Berean, I look forward to your continued thoughts on this.

Hi Berean,

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any simpler way to explain the unity of the Father and the Son? If so, I would love to read it.

Yes, may God protect us! LU

Hi Berean,

It seems like you did a “hit and run” on me. Could you please address my last post to you. I have copied it here for your convenience:

Berean,

Specifically, what is the real problem?

I can quote a Bible translation all day long on here but when people will  reply as if the scripture does not say what I understand it to say,  then I h…

Hi Proclaimer,

You said:

Think about it. There is God. He is alone. There is no other God before him.

He creates life. Who was the first to be given life?

Jesus mentions “His” kingdom here Gene:

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, My attendants would fight that I might not be betrayed to the Jews. But now My kingdom is not from here.” John 18:36

Mike,

You said:

Yes, John calls Jesus the only begotten Son of God in John 3:16.  Go on…

Yes, I could call Jesus my God and Savior, but I don’t.  A god is an entity conceived of as having power over nature and the affairs of man… an entity that can help you and protect you from those trying to hurt you.  Jesus clearly fits that Biblical descript…

Mike,

Who is El Elyon or El Shaddai ?

Mike,

You asked:

Does the fact that Jesus (in Rev 17:44), Nebuchadnezzar (in Daniel 2:37), and Artaxerxes (in Ezra 7:12) are all called King of kings NECESSARILY mean that they are part of some “Unity Entity” comprised of three persons?  Yes or No?

No

Does the fact that Yahweh (in Deut 10:17) and Jesus (in Rev 17:14) are both called the Lord of l…

Mike,

You said:

So your argument that Jesus came to earth to say, “Hey, btw, your God’s name is Yahweh” is ridiculous,

That is not my argument. Jesus is saying that the God, that is the God of Israel, that specific God who’s name is YHVH, is His biological Father, He is YHVH’s only begotten Son and that His Father gave Him His name, YHVH.
