Quote (Paladin @ Mar. 29 2011,07:03)I assumed, for example, that because you also reference the LXX you were knowledgeable about some of the things I know about, and responded to your questions accordingly. I see now, that is not the case, and I will try to remember that you do not know some of the Septuagint issues with which I am familiar,…[Read more]

Hi Paladin,I don't have time for this.  These are the Greek words that correspond to Psalm 138:2;emegalunav epi pan onoma to logion souThese Greek words say:  magnified over every name the word of youThe meaning of 138:2 is that Jehovah magnified His Word over EVERY name.  Not that He magnified it over His own Name.  Nothing is over the Name of…[Read more]

What QUESTION did I fail to answer?I've listed three of the ones you can't answer on the “incarnation” thread. We'll see if you can answer them over there. But in the meantime, what exact question have you asked of me?mike

What are you talking about? Who was “behind” the serpent?mike

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 27 2011,22:27)Mike………You are the one insisting there was a REAL SERPENT Their, so why can you tell us what it looked like, was it a talking SNAKE  because snakes go around on their Bellies , perhaps he had legs then,  and GOD took them away so He could go around on his belly jumping in and out of people?> If you a…[Read more]

Hi Pierre,It means cursed “more than” the other things mentioned.mike

Quote (Lightenup @ Mar. 28 2011,20:59)Mike,Maybe we should have a thread in the 'other writings' section about the ante-nicene church fathers understanding of John 1:1.  How about it?Why?  Do you have the Greek mss of those writings?  Would we be able to see when they say “Jesus is god” that it wasn't a case where the indefinite article should be…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 28 2011,21:17)Mike……….If anyone is adding to scriptures it is you say things like Like God originally created everything through Jesus Yep, I DO say that, because scripture says that.Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 28 2011,21:17)and Jesus said he existed  before Abraham , and you assume the is saying He was (alive)…[Read more]

Quote (Wispring @ Mar. 27 2011,20:25)This in contrast with baptized with the Holy Spirt which is a divine process of receiving the spirit of God.Jesus is the “anointed one” of prophesy. Set aside for Gods' purpose and service of bringing us the new testament and covanantResearch on the Greek word used. This to my mind clearly shows Jesus was…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Mar. 28 2011,20:04)In the early church father's writings, they did not conclude that John meant a god.  They knew he was speaking of one that had the nature of deity.You don't know that.  The first early church fathers spoke Greek, so when we read English renderings of their words, they could have also been saying “a god”, but i…[Read more]

I will try this once more.  Bolded letters designate a simple question I've asked but Paladin has not yet answered.I said:Quote (M) We've already discussed this Paladin.  There is nothing above the Name of YHWH.  Read the LXX translation of this Psalm and tell me what it says.  Because apparently you didn't believe me when I showed you.Quote (Pa…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 28 2011,15:12)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 24 2011,20:16)Not only that, but I've answered the question……….twice now.mikeMikeHave you actually said “NO”, because if you have then I sure haven't seen it. According to Dr Mantey it is not “grammatically permissable” to translate John 1:1c as “a god”.Do you agree with…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 28 2011,16:28)Who in the world can believe that a being that was born or created could “become”  infinitely God?Yet you believe that God Almighty can DIE at the hands of the humans He created.  And that God Almighty can raise God Almighty from the dead.  And God Almighty can EXALT God Almighty to a higher positi…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 28 2011,16:19)Not at all because once again the end result is what is important. Jack believes in Three persons in One God, not 2 Gods.  Yeah, who cares how we come to that conclusion, or which one of our views is even scriptural, as long as we both end up believing in a trinity Godhead!  That's the only important t…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 28 2011,15:29)No we don't believe in different Jesus's. We both believe Jesus is “One God” with the Father who had no beginning. Since his nature has to do with his essence, substance and being then Jesus is all the Father is.Jack like all those who believe Jesus is God believes that he is “Fully God” yet “Fully…[Read more]
