William,The verse:1 Cor 6:20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.The Greek word for 'God' is not written in the genitive form here either, and therefore does not show possession. The translation here has it correct, I believe. 'God is written in the Greek as a noun and direct object (the accusative case) of…[Read more]

With all gentleness and respect Mike,Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God of gods AND the Lord of lords, whom you have sent. When you see the name 'Jesus Christ' or “Lamb' or 'Son of God' just understand 'Lord of lords' and you may see more clearly.Kathi

Here is a confrontation that Jesus encountered with satan and this is how Jesus handled the 'prove it' demands of satan: Matt 4:1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. 3And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the S…[Read more]

Edj,According to the lexicon, the word 'full' is an adjective for the nominative (the subject of the sentence) which is not the Father but the 'word.'see here:http://interlinearbible.org/john/1-14.htmSo, 'full of grace and truth' describes the 'word' in this verse.John 1:14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory…[Read more]

Pierre,The Father is God to Christ according to His human nature and mediatorial role. In the deity nature, the pre-existent part of Christ, the Father is His literal Father who beget Him from within Himself. They are both deity, one as God of gods and the other as Lord of lords.Kathi

Mike,Verbs would agree with the subject as to both being third person and singular and gender if a pronoun isn't added but one is supplied for readability. The verb 'would be' refers to the church which is feminine and the feminine pronoun for third person singular is 'she.'Eph 5:27that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory,…[Read more]

Pierre,Those are all good verses, thanks for putting them up. From a quick glance, I would say that the LORD was appearing as the Son, the spokesperson of Jehovah, representing the unity of Him and His Father. I didn't do any thorough study of most of them, though.God bless,Kathi
