Bo,Yes, as far as I'm concerned. You and Mike can discuss if you like since he continues to post. Jesus walked away from the stone throwing too.

Bo,Jesus' divinity is declared in places besides the book of John. The emphasis of John is the divinity of Christ. Each gospel writer has their own emphasis.The light of the gospel is hidden from the intellects of men, so yes, things were hidden that are revealed to those who have faith.

t8Quote If you are saying that Jesus is YHWH because he is divine or has God's nature, then you are defining YHWH as meaning divine natureI am defining YHWH as meaning eternal nature…always existing. If the Son was always within the Father, then He too is eternal and YHWH as a name suits Him too as well as the Father even if the Father is the…[Read more]

Bo,Quote Why do none of these things make Moses a part of the Godhead, or equal to Jehovah……………. but if similar things are said about Jesus, those things DO make him “Jehovah Jr”, or equal to his own God? Jesus was not 'as' God but was God with God.Moses was 'as' God…a metaphor.John 1:1 does not say:In the beginning was the Word, and…[Read more]

Bo,Quote What's your take on Exodus 7:17? Exodus 7:17'Thus says the LORD, “By this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, I will strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned to blood.You need to read the whole story to realize the LORD is speaking metaphorically. Moses will be 'as' God to Aaron…[Read more]

BD,Quote God created Jesus by His Word not that Jesus was that word. Jesus was the Word that became flesh.So you agree that Jesus was the Word that became flesh, that's good. The scriptures say that Jesus, the Word, made all things and not one thing was made without Him. So you say something different, you say that all but many things was made…[Read more]

Bo,Read this and tell me if the 'Word' as per the Jewish understanding is, in some contexts, a presence of some sort or just always a spoken/written word.Quote Gen 3:88They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the…[Read more]

t8-You said:Quote The son came from the Father. Jesus said if you do not believe that I came from God then you don't believe Jesus testimony and you instead believe a lie and the Father of lies is the Devil.
