Pierre,jammin is not saying that the two who are both God natured are only one person. One is not the other. The Father is not the Son and visa versa. Also, regarding the Jews and Gentiles that are believers, they make up ONE new man (singular), neither Jew nor Gentile.Eph 2:14For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has…[Read more]

Well Bo, There is capitalization in English and that is what the Greek and Hebrew is translated in. There is also no punctuation in Greek.

When you quote the…[Read more]

t8-Let's address your confusion of what I post, one by one:Quote You accuse me of being carnal and then go onto teaching how YHWH is like cell biology.Don't make it out to be something other than what it was intended to be…an example of one cell coming from another as an offspring of the other, exactly like the other.

Thanks Andrew, 31 years and 5 kids is sort of rare these days I guess. We made a covenant before God and don't want to break it for anything. Funny, while at the movie on our date, we saw a preview of a movie that we are in with Harrison Ford…that was a first. Here is the preview:Enjoy your daughter…13 is an interesting age, isn't it

Bo, In John 1:1 the first word 'God' is a name and the second word 'God' is a description. Two persons both fit the description of a God, capital G. There is only one description for the capital 'G' God but there are two that fit that description.

Kerwin,Quote My point is that there is but one God and he is Jehovah.
