Matthew 3:4English Standard Version (©2001)Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.'Food' and 'locusts' and 'honey' are written in the nominative case but 'food' has an article and the other two don't. That makes 'food' the subject of the clause, but I'm no Greek sc…

Mark 15:39NET Bible (©2006)Now when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw how he died, he said, “Truly this man was God's Son!”From what I can tell, this last part that is bolded is similar to John 1:1c with 'this man' and 'God's Son' both being in the nominative case but 'God's Son' does not have seem to have the article in the…

Here is what NET notes concludes with John 1:1c:sn And the Word was fully God. John’s theology consistently drives toward the conclusion that Jesus, the incarnate Word, is just as much God as God the Father. This can be seen, for example, in texts like John 10:30 (“The Father and I are one”), 17:11 (“so that they may be one just as we are one”),…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 23 2013,22:23)Kathi, while I admire your search into the scriptures to find hidden treasures, I can't help but notice that you go way out of your way to find any little tidbit that you can “sway” into saying Jesus is God Almighty – all the while ignoring the many CLEAR scriptures that say we have ONE Almighty God, and…[Read more]

Mike,Quote He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood…….. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.The word 'will' is not a good translation since the word 'tread' is in the present indicative active and not in the future tense. You can see that many of the translations have it written correctly.New International…[Read more]

Yes Mike, like I have said…God with God. The unbegotten God with the begotten God.I do not agree with t8 who thinks that the theos in 1c means 'divine.' He says that 'the word was divine' but that would make 'divine' an adjective and not a noun. Theos in 1c is a noun that is in the nominative case. Also, it cannot mean 'the word was godkind'…[Read more]

Whether it matters or not, do you believe Jesus is called 'theos' in the Bible?Also, where is Paul called 'theos' and who is it that is calling him that?

Thank you wakeup! So, just to be sure…who do you say is the ''I” in Isaiah 63.

Mike,you asked:Quote Is Jesse the root of David? YES or NO?Is David the root of Jesse? YES or NO? No, Jesse is not considered the root of David in the context of Isa 11. Although, we could say 'yes' to that in a sense but not in the same sense it is used in Isa 11.No, David is not the root of Jesse.I don't believe that a father or forefather are…[Read more]

Mike,Compare Isaiah 63 with Rev 19:Isa 631Who is this coming from Edom,from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?Who is this, robed in splendor,striding forward in the greatness of his strength?“It is I, proclaiming victory,mighty to save.”2Why are your garments red,like those of one treading the winepress?3“I have trodden the winepress alone…[Read more]

Hi Daniel,This picture of one cell coming from a parent cell helps give a picture of an offspring coming from a parent and the offspring has only one parent and is identical to that parent in form, function, and attributes although it was 'begotten.'

John 3:16NET Bible (©2006)For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.The word 'everyone' has the sense of plurality but is written in the singular as well as the verbs that go with it.

Mark 10:8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.The word 'the' is in the nominative case and is an article and the subject of the sentence. The word 'flesh' is also in the nominative case but does not have an article. So, it seems that the words 'one flesh' has a sense of equivalency with 'the…[Read more]
