WISDOM – a FEMININE engendered reference.
My response:
If you knew anything about Hebrew you would know that this concern of yours does not mean that ‘wisdom’ can’t represent a male figure. Go ahead and do a study on how the Hebrew language applies gender to nouns. Educate yourself.
Regarding the full chapter of Prov. 8, t…[Read more]

I am going to try to make this as plain as I can for you.
The Son is BOTH the firstborn over all creation AND the firstborn from the dead.
He became the firstborn over all creation BEFORE all things were created through Him, thus He was begotten from the Father before creation during eternity past.
And much later….
He became the firstb…[Read more]

I’m curious Jael, do you NOW UNDERSTAND that there is documentation that “today I have begotten you” refers to the resurrection day? And if you now do in fact understand this, do you want to apologize for this incredible insult of yours which I will quote here:

you said:
Explain what you mean by ‘They are not words found in the original manuscript’.
I already have explained this to you. The correct translation of the words in the original manuscript is:
YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.

Lu, what do you say to the declaration by the saints of scriptures that Jesus was ‘Begotten’ at his being raised from the dead?
I say: I have been telling this to you. I have shown you that the word ‘begotten’ can not mean ‘brought into existence’ since the Son had to exist in order to have been begotten from the dead. So when we…[Read more]

It seems like we agree 🙂 🙂 🙂 on the possibility that the Son emptied Himself of His memory which the Father released back to Him as He grew in wisdom, a portion at a time.

He may even had to learn who he really was.
Does it seem to you that after Jesus rose and sent the Holy Spirit, that knowledge of who Jesus actually was…[Read more]

President Trump gave a great speech last night and certainly mentioned God as creator, without waivering.
Trump acted much more dignified which I expected since he is not competing against someone for the office anymore. According to the prophecy, I expect Trump to grow leaps and bounds in his faith so much that we will all witness his closer…[Read more]

Because of what you said here:
Nurture… Compassion … Love… Subordination… These are some aspects that are highly prominent in a woman over anything like the equivalent in a man (male).
I know LU won’t like that last part – but truth doesn’t have preference over who should believe it.

My husband is the head over me to protect me, to love me, and serve me well as Christ does for the church. Why would I have a problem with that protocol, unless the husband failed in that position and was abusive in some way, but if he does as he was designed by God to do, well, there are no complaints from me.

@t8 you have made things so complicated. Just keep it simple, my friend. That which is begotten, existed before it was begotten. I think we have agreed on this point.
Now with that understood, we can acknowledge that the Son existed before He was begotten before creation.
Since a fatherless, eternal father is an oxymoron, we can understand that…[Read more]

You did well to get to this point: you said, “Yes we existed before being born.”
This is also what I said about the matter:
If the act of begetting takes something that exists and moves it to another place, then obviously the actual begetting does not make something come into existence.
You said: “But to say that born rules out any…[Read more]

Hello Jael,
From your most recent group of questions, I seem to remember that you had a problem with the Holy Spirit being referred to as a He or a Him. I believe that the Holy Spirit is the united spirits of both the Father and the Son. Their spirits are their inner persons. The inner person of someone is referred to as ‘it’ or ‘he’ or ‘she’…[Read more]
