Hi Adam,
You said:
So you think that I am offended by so called Rock of offense?
Yes, you reject the stone that has become the precious cornerstone, obviously. Jesus is not the Messiah according to you and the NT is not God’s Word, also according to you.

Your claim of two Yahwehs is some thing strange to Hebrew Bible.

Hi Adam,
Regarding 1 Peter, you said:
Again 1 Peter taken a portion of scripture from Isaiah 8;
8:13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the…

Mike,
You asked:
Kathi, do you really think Paul was saying that the Father isn’t also our Lord?
Paul understands the Father is also our “kurios” Lord, and Paul understands that Jesus is also our theos. In the context of 1 Cor 8:6, Paul is identifying two persons who are our God and Lord. In the NT when the context is speaking about the Father a…[Read more]

Hi Mike,
Yes, Pebbles, not Bambam. When I realized that I got the name wrong, the “edit” button was gone, haha.
You said:
The Bible ALWAYS identifies God with SINGULAR pronouns and verbs. But PLURAL families (the Flintstones) or entities (the YHVHs) would not be characterized with singular verbs and pronouns.
We say the Flintstones…

@Proclaimer,
In Heb 1, I have written in parenthesis who I believe the pronouns apply to, maybe you can do the same exercise so we can see where we differ.

You said:
I read a post of yours somewhere that pointed out that “ye are gods” is not using the word ‘theos’ but a plural version of that. Thanks for pointing that out.
You’re welcome, is that your way of apologizing for telling me to “shut your mouth” when I attempted the first time to show you that?

Hey Guys,
Hebrews 1 tell us all that it was the Son that was in the beginning, the mystery is solved but you keep denying it Gene.
But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.
Later in Hebrews 1 the Father identifies the Son as YHVH.

Hi Berean,
Can you see that the Father is identifying the Son as YHVH who laid the foundation of the earth and that the heavens are the works of His hands in Heb 1:10-12?

@Proclaimer,
It uses the PLURAL form of “theos” which is not spelled t h e o s. The plural form used is “t h e o i.” See here:

That shows you that “t h e o s” is not like the word “sheep” which is the same spelling whether it is plural or not. If “theos” were like the word sheep, why is it spelled differently as “t h e o i?”

I think we are having a communication issue. Your post about plurals and singulars compare the word like “sheep” which is spelled the same way whether it is singular or plural, with the word “theos” and then go on to say how theos is plural in John 10:34. It is true that th…[Read more]
