Mike,Quote THEN, at the next LOWER position is man, who is under both our ONE and ONLY Almighty God AND ALSO UNDER the one our God appointed as our Lord.THEN comes woman, at an even LOWER level.In a husband/wife relationship the husband is the head of the wife but yet they are one and yet they are equal.Do you disagree with this statement?In the…[Read more]

Mike,The YHWH Echad, the eternal unity, is not dependent on roles, or titles, but it is dependent on eternal existence. The Shema doesn't say eternal God of gods or eternal Lord of lords but it does indicate two powers who are eternal, one as the God of gods and one as the Lord of lords and at the time the Shema was first introduced, the Father…[Read more]

Mike,I think that you are thinking about 'gennao,' Strong's #1080 which is translated as 'generate' in 2 Tim 2:23World English BibleBut refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.Strong's #1096 is not translated as 'generate' so therefore, I am not going to either.The English dictionary is not making a distinction…[Read more]

Well Mike,He was eternally YHWH the Son before creation. His YHWH status did not depend on being Lord over something but instead it depended on being eternal.

Pierre,Is there a 'witch heaven?'

Bo, Do you believe that the whippings and scourging was removed from Him too?They are interdependently sovereign. The Father creates through the Son, redeems mankind through the Son, gives eternal life through the Son, judges all men through the Son, etc. Their interdependence is not a weakness but the Almighty strength and perfection.Quote So why…[Read more]

Bo,Prove what the 'cup' was…was it being a sacrifice or was it being tortured. I don't believe that He was asking to not be the sacrifice but was asking to not be tortured. He could have ascended right there in the garden if He wanted to. It was His choice to stay and die. He chose to die before He came as man, that is why He came as a man. He…[Read more]

Bo,Quote So what you are saying is the sacrificing of a son is an abomination and foreign to God, right? I agree.The sacrificing that was happening in those scriptures was not a mutual desire between the children being sacrificed and the parents who are sacrificing them from what I can tell and therefore it was murder by the parents.

Bo,What is better, to be all loving or all knowing. What if not knowing something is due to a loving reason. Maybe it is for the sake of love that the Father only knows the day and the hour to spare the Son of having to make that call. We don't know why the Son does not know the day or the hour of His return but if love is greater than knowledge,…[Read more]

Mike,The 'begotten' part of only begotten is from a certain root word and is often confused with another root word. You may be looking at the wrong root word. I think you have to look into the correct Greek root word and an English dictionary is not going to be specific enough. What Strong's # is the root word for begotten that you are looking…[Read more]
