Hi Bo, I hope you are ok!

Ok, so go to the movies this weekend. The Harrison Ford movie that I am in, “42, The Jackie Robinson Story,” came out today. Here is a song from it. When you watch the movie, you will be told what denomination God is according to Branch Rickey, (played by Mr. Harrison Ford).  Here are the lyrics to the song:Sister Wynona Carr – The Ball Game So…[Read more]

Also…We know that Judas was only a man, not a heavenly pre-existent being, like satan was. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that just because Judas is a devil, he is not a literal devil. He did not…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ April 07 2013,20:56)Quote (Lightenup @ April 08 2013,13:06)BTW, I don't see anything in Barnes, Clarke's, or Gill's commentary that would be in opposition to devil-like. Why are you making such a big deal out of a description that you already agreed to?Because you deny that the Word is God-like, God-kind, like God. I show how it is…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ April 07 2013,20:38)Quote (Lightenup @ April 08 2013,12:45)They don't say devil-like. Do you disagree that Judas was devil-like?You missed the point haven't you?If Jesus says that Judas was a devil, and we know that he was not a literal devil, but was devil like, then you can plainly see how something can be likened to something by…[Read more]

kerwin,you said to Mike,Quote Jesse is Jesse's offspring as in stump of Jesse's offspring. Jesus is the branch of Jesse's offspring. He is a branch among Jesse's offspring. A branch that is fruitful, which is to say a root.David is a branch among Jesse's children and also a root for he sired children for the entire group of Jesse'…[Read more]

Mike,Is it not correct to say that the dog is a dog? or the tree is also a tree? or, the God is also a God? Too much is being made of the 'article' or lack thereof. A God is also the only begotten God. See what I mean?Like I said, John 1 is about God with God…

Quote (kerwin @ April 04 2013,19:32)Mike, LU, and all;Who or what is “the stump of Jesse”?Hi Kerwin,The stump of Jesse would include Jesse and his descendants up until Yeshua from what I can tell.

Quote (t8 @ April 04 2013,19:44)Quote (Lightenup @ April 04 2013,15:13)I have been saying the same thing in different words, t8 but you laugh. The fact is that there is more than one Root of Jesse. Why would you think that the other Root would not be the Father since He made all through another Root? Or who do you think the other root/s…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 04 2013,19:26)Quote (Lightenup @ April 04 2013,13:14)……….realize that there is another Root because the 'Roots' of Jesse is a plural word. I believe this refers to the Father and the Son who are both involved in the creation of Jesse.Isaiah 11:1A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch…[Read more]

Mike,you asked:Quote And what do you make of this passage, Kathi?Judges 21 The angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you, 2 and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land, but…[Read more]

jb2u,I believe you did not answer this or maybe I missed it. Please answer this:Can you prove that Jesus is not the only begotten God the Son? Can you prove that Jesus is not claiming to be God the Son? I am not asking you to prove that Jesus isn't God the Father.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 04 2013,18:53)Quote (Lightenup @ April 04 2013,12:49)Can you admit that the Shema statement alone as originally written, does not give you enough information to decide if YHVH is one person or one set?What?  Kathi, I thought you believed the Father and Son were two completely different Almighty God beings, who worked…[Read more]

He created us to be with Him, and the day will come when He will get that fellowship!!Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit.2 Cor 13:14May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.1…[Read more]

jb2u,Thanks once again for your input. You said:Quote The Shema gives me plenty of evidence that God is one. I understand that it does not give it to you. I also agree that God is one. This is a plural oneness as most Christians agree. Let's look at some commentaries:Deut 6:4Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is oneBarnes on Deut 6:4Quote This…[Read more]

Now, I think that the reader would be interested in how those three commentators that YOU listed to support your view, do not support your view, not only in John 1:1c as proven in my last post, but John 17:3…here goes, t8…you might not want to face this either:John 17:3And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus…[Read more]
