Quote So, if the entire being of God Almighty is NOT a creation, but has always existed, then it likewise stands to reason that all parts OF that eternally existing being have also existed from eternity, right?So you say Mike, but you deny the eternal existence when it is the Word of God, the Wisdom of God, the Arm of God…

The Word of God existed eternally terarricca. It did not have to be created, just brought forth.

Ok, I just re-read Isa 63, and there is no mention of the speaker being a rider on a horse, that was my assumption, sorry. That doesn't mean that He wasn't on a horse, never-the-less, the passages speak about the same event apparently, and use the same ideas.

There you go then. If Isaiah is referring to the same rider in Rev. then Jehovah who is the rider in Isa 63 is also the Lamb who is the rider in Rev.

So who is the other Root, t8?
