Gene,
Read here how Moses and Jesus are different:
1Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; 2He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. 3For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the…[Read more]

When I make a post from my phone, submit it, then edit it, and submit it after it is edited, I can see it in my personal activities but it disappears from the thread. I will repost it in the next post. This has happened before.

Hi Danny, if you are still reading here, I have prepared for you a fuller picture than what you have been given by Jodi. May God be with you on your search…I’ve been there. God is good!
In the beginning was the Word (a), the Image of the invisible God-the Father YHVH -(b). The Word was with the invisible God and was God (a), the…

Hi Danny,
You asked: Can we honestly say that a God/Man was like one of us in every way? Hebrews 2:17
Yes we can honestly say that a the One who was equal to God, laid down His majestic splendor and became man like us in every way that allowed Him to suffer and be tempted and die. That is what the context says in Hebrews 2. Read it here:
5For He…

Jodi,
You said: YLT SUPPORTS MY VIEW, a word that means messenger should be translated as messenger!
Your view says that Heb 1 is about earthly messengers, not celestial messengers. YLT calls celestial angels “messengers”. For instance, see here throughout this passage, the angel is called a messenger in the YLT translation:
11And there appeared…

You said: The one through whom God created the world was not God.
Yes He was. He just wasn’t God the Father.
Look at verse 4…
…having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
Do you really imagine that there was a time when God became superior to the angels by inheriting a bet…

You said to Jodi and Gene: Maybe you are right that Jesus started His life as a human being.
Born of the Holy Spirit from Mary.All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That alone should tell you that Jesus, who had no sin, was not part of the “all men.” Jesus took on the sins of the whole world. If Jesus was just a man…[Read more]

Jodi,
You said:
Applying the surrounding context to a word as well as the truth given from all other scriptures, is how you determine the correct meaning of a word that holds multiple meanings.
Agree, and that is why the word should be translated as “angels.”

Jodi,
Where are human beings called ministering spirits elsewhere?
Lightenup replied to the topic Forgiven through Christ in the forum Truth or Tradition 5 years, 4 months ago
Hi Jodi,
There are only a few things needed to answer most or all of your “Please explain…” post.
God the Father is the head of the YHVH Unity that includes the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Unity alone created the universe.
The Son emptied Himself of His divine majesty and took the form of a human servant, then was later highly exalted above…[Read more]

Jodi,
You said:
What you said contradicts so many scriptures, you very much so lean on your private interpretations rather than applying scripture with scripture.
I’ve said many things, what exactly are you referring to.
On a side note, I find it ironic that you think that I am leaning on my private interpretations when you have exposed yourself…[Read more]

Gene,
You and Jodi don’t have a Bible translation that agrees with you. How can we have a Biblically based discussion when you believe all Bible translations are wrong?
You both live in your own world of delusion and twist the scriptures to conform to YOUR WORD, not God’s word. Wake up! There’s a reason you can’t find a Biblical transla…[Read more]

Jodi,
You asked Danny:
how was it that
Jesus was obedient and still is obedient and will return and be obedient?
Sorry for budding in here, Jesus is not the head of the YHVH unity, the head of the Unity is His Father. Of course He would obey the head of the YHVH Unity, He always has been a perfect son. He is obediently reigning over the whole…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,
You said:
I would argue that translators followed already held doctrines when they rendered their translations and by such they got a lot of things wrong.
Opinion: they got a lot of things wrong
Fact: So, there are no Bible translations that support your view then.
Fact: All Bible translations support my view.

Jodi,
Do you believe that YHVH is both our one God and our one Lord? Or do you believe that YHVH is only our one God but not our one Lord?

Gene,
You say:
Lu……Yes i would , but there are so many that say the opposite, even Jesus’ very own words he said himself.
There is nothing that says the opposite if you understand scriptures properly.
Have a great day,

Hi Jodi,
Regarding this:
Hi LU,
YOU (LU):
Do you think that the “righteousness of one” is sufficient to cover our failures or do we need to attain our own righteousness to be at one with God?
ME (Jodi):
Of course we are to obtain our own righteousness without it we’d go on sinning.
I have good news for you…we don’t have to obtain our own r…[Read more]

Yes, I noticed some posts in spam. I unspammed them so should be there now. If this happens again, let me know and I will sort it out. I will of course look into the cause.
Thank you for all your effort towards that!
