t8,This is a good topic and I may keep my conversations here for a while so that I am not jumping around trying to keep up with those asking me questions. I am getting rather busy with planning a bridal shower, starting a new school year and designing a big kitchen for a client…soooo I need to limit my time on HN. Hope you understand.With the…[Read more]

Irene,Quote In our Rye Study Bible in the footnotes it says that LORD in all capital letters is Jehovah God one person our Heavenly Fathers name.Do you mean 'Ryrie' Study Bible? I don't see that footnote. Which verse is that footnote referencing. I found, in my Ryrie Study Bible the note about Genesis 2:4 when Jehovah is first mentioned, the…[Read more]

Mike,Quote And for two, like I said, one of the “she's” should actually be a “he” if they were to follow the gender of the Greek words throughout the whole passage.I truly think this is not so…we just don't understand Greek construction well enough to know that, imo.Eph 5:27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having…[Read more]

Mike,Quote Because so far, you haven't produced one single shred of evidence worthy of convincing even a third grader that the Son OF God is also a co-equal member of the God he is the Son OF.Well, that would be because I am not trying to do that.

Mike,I'm just answering your questions for my benefit to know that I can. I will leave the convincing to the Lord. I am just supposed to proclaim the truth freely as it is given me…what kind of ground it falls on is out of my control.

That is impossible to be the only begotten Son too, sorry to burst your bubble.Define “partake of divine nature” with scripture, please.Quote If you call him Theos because of his nature, then you can't forgot that we will be as he is and he will call us brothers.We will not be brothers by nature but…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Aug. 01 2011,04:16)Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 01 2011,14:23)who was both the Father and the Son.Correction.”THEY were the Father and Son.”It sounds like you are referring to one person, but then address two.

So your argument that Jehovah our God can't…[Read more]
