Btw, I do not remember sharing my understanding of Hosea 5:14 with you. How can you say that I misunderstand?You say that God is a lion to both Ephraim and Judah.Jesus is revealed to be the Lion of Judah in Rev 5:5.

jb2u,Jesus does EVERYTHING that He sees the Father doing. The fact that He CAN do EVERYTHING that He sees the Father doing is quite a resume! So, if you are weak and heavy laden and need to know that Jesus is here for you, watch this:(Thanks for sending me the video—you know who you are )

The roots of Jesse would be the Father of humanity. The roots of Jesse would be YHVH, who is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. Jesus is the Lord of lords.

Duplicate post, sorry!

jb2u, You are welcome.There are two mentioned as 'God' in John 1:1…a child can count that. How blind can anyone be to deny this???

I don't see 'yalad' in Prov. 8, do…[Read more]

Mike,Spirit is a neuter word in the Greek, that is why John 16:13 caught my attention…the gender of the two pronouns that I bolded are masculine though..

t-Strength AND power are in HIS hands. He gives strength and power because He has strength and power to give. THINK!

Mike,The flesh died. The flesh did not exist eternally. The flesh did not have eternal life until it was given it. The flesh was part of the shoot, not the root.
