Hi Ted,Welcome back! It is good to see you. Maybe you would like to discuss this topic:https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin….y367020Check it out

t8,Welcome back So you admit that you post and don't bother to check the response for weeks, not because you haven't been able to spend time on HN but you just don't think/care to check, even in a hot seat discussion that you set up…hmmm. If I jump to conclusions that are wrong, then please explain what you do mean by this:Quote Jesus existed…[Read more]

BD,you said:Quote Actually it really only means to be a true Believer in God just as Jesus said “Eternal Life is to know the Only True God”That is not all that Jesus said, is it??? He said this:“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I want you to see how you only wrote the first p…[Read more]

t8,you said:Quote A son of God is applied to those who come directly from God like Adam, the angels, and Jesus Christ. We are the sons of God through faith through Jesus Christ. We are born again not of adam, but of the incorruptible seed. We are born of God and thus sons as he is.Adam and angels did not come directly from God, the Father…John…[Read more]

t8,By not responding, you inadvertently admit that you do not have scripture to back up your doctrine that the Son gave up His divine nature to take on the nature of man, as if original divine nature is something that is possible to give up anyway.You need to adjust your doctrine and realize that one with an original divine nature, who was the…[Read more]

BD,you said:Quote Once again Kathi you have to study your own scriptures for there is NO difference between slave and free, Jew and Gentile in Christ Jesus so your point there has NO VALUE.Was Ishmael 'in Christ'…are you 'in Christ?' What does it mean to you to be 'in Christ?'

Creation sings praises…listen to the stars, and the whales sing to their creator:

BD,Obviously there was some sense of inheritance when God appeared to Abram but what I was saying is that the laws of inheritance had evolved and what came out in Deuteronomy came after Abraham, just as the beginning of the name of Israel which began at a wrestling match with Jacob, the grandson of Abraham.Regarding the point that Ishmael was…[Read more]

Mike,They worhip one Almighty God as the Father, together with His Son and the Holy Spirit as a compound unity.

Thanks t8, that was worthwhile to listen to. This is the passage that came to my mind while listening to it:1 Cor 101If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move…[Read more]

Mike, The Trinitarians worship more than one person united in one Godhead. So do I!

Bd, You are right that Israelites weren't there yet, my bad! However that does not dismiss the fact that there is a distinction between the son of the free woman and the son of the bondslave woman. Your verse in Deuteronomy wasn't in play either at that time from what I understand. If you can show different, let me know.

Here is an explanation of what the Targums are and why they are important:The word 'Targum' simply means 'translation' or 'interpretation', but while any translation might call itself a 'targum', the word is usually reserved for ancient Aramaic translations of the Hebrew scriptures. The need for Aramaic translations of scripture was keenly felt as…[Read more]

In regards to the teaching that the Memra of YHWH is the manifested YHWH as distinct from the unapproachable YHWH, I have found valuable lists of scriptures from this site and it is from this list that I would like to find the specified passages and post them in this thread for a database:http://www.ccel.org/ccel….ghlightThis info contains lists…[Read more]

This spot is reserved for a possible compilation of what is to come.

Mike,The Hebrews worshiped the one they called 'The Word of YHWH' as well as the one they called YHWH as per the targums. To see this clearly, we need to go back to that long list of Targum occurrences of the 'Word of YHWH.' I will start a thread for this as a database that focuses on that list that I put on here.So, the sensible Hebrew person…[Read more]

BD,You want me to admit that Hagar was Abraham's wife…well, she is called his wife, she is also called a concubine, she is also called a slave woman and an Egyptian, she is not the proper wife of Abraham, Sarah was the only one recognized as that. Read this from John Gill on Galatians 4:Galatians 4:3030Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast…[Read more]

BD and Mike,Gen 25:1Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah. 3Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim. 4The sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these…[Read more]
