Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 10 2011,20:53)Your answer is right there in your own words.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 12 2011,12:47)What difference does it make, he is still the “Only Begotten Son of God” meaning there is no other kind like him for he is the Godkind.The difference is that Jesus was “yalad”, or “brought forth FROM” his God.  He was begotten by God, and it's both sad and maddening that the trinitarians are now trying…[Read more]

Bump

Quote (t8 @ Mar. 08 2011,17:34)Good post Mike.You think so, t8? Well, in that case, let's bump it for them. Jack and Keith,There's really nothing more to be said on the matter of John 1:1, is there?You both agree that being called “god” does not make that one God Almighty. Add to that the fact that one is called “god” while the other is called…[Read more]

Okay Pierre.  But read Hebrews 4:12, and see if you still think the soul IS the spirit.peace and love,mike

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 10 2011,07:06)Mike what you really mean is not do i accept scripture , is is do i accept your rendition of what scripture is saying right.Gene,Your whole post was nonsense and just goes to prove that you would rather get up on your soapbox and tell us all YOUR UNDERSTANDING than to address and accept the scriptures as…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 12 2011,12:13)Exactly MikeWhich means that she is a “Judge” and not a “god” or else the Hebrews would have called them “their God” and not “their Judge”, man you are dense.Really Keith?I wasn't aware that the Hebrews used different forms of “elohim” to distinguish between the times they were referring to God Almighty…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 13 2011,06:31)Hi Mike,Let's turn your question around; OK? …looking forward to your answer!Looking at John 1:1, is it possible John is calling the HolySpirit “The Word”?Hi Ed,Sorry but I must have overlooked this post. I'm just now seeing it. Absolutely YES! If we took 1:1 in and of itself, it very well could be speaking…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 13 2011,17:08)But one thing i want you to do for me  OK?, go and check out the word SOUL used in the New Testament and please notice it is the same word used as Spirit, I find “psuche” for soul and “pneuma” for spirit.  In fact, the 1 Thess 5:23 scripture I gave for your consideration lists them both side by side.  …[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 13 2011,12:13)There were no truth police to prohibit the N.W.T. translators from adding the indefinite article “a” where it was not needed to John 1:1.The fact that they put it in there, proves in and of itself it is possible to put it where it is not needed.I guess that's as close as I'm going to get from you, Ed.  Now that…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ Mar. 13 2011,04:05)I am a REAL student of GreekSo why is it so hard for you to answer a basic Greek grammatical question? You KNOW there is no “rule” that prohibits a translator from adding the “a” in 1:1c. Yet you won't come out and admit that. Is there a rule Jack? Tell me what it is.
