Quote (SimplyForgiven @ May 25 2010,12:37)mike,Whats your opinion when Revelation speaks of a new name?Hi Dennison,My opinion is that Jesus recieved a new name.  No one knows that name right now except for him.That leads me to believe it is not any of the names we already know him by.  And it cannot be YHWH because of the was 3:21 is worded.  …[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ May 25 2010,05:47)Paul,This is why I decided to follow your advice and drop my debate with Mike. He is indeed a “stiff necked scoffer”!JackTell the truth, Roo.You stopped with our debate about the time I showed you the Eusebius letter from your buddy's post.All that time and energy spent trying to convince me that monogenes…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ May 24 2010,16:21)Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 23 2010,14:45)First and foremost, if it says Jehovah in the OT, it means the Father.That's a presupposition. I'd like to see you try to prove it. Good luck!And I would like to see you prove that there is such a creature as “Jehovah the Son”.I don't believe in luck. I think the Bible…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ May 24 2010,16:04)Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 23 2010,09:12)So true JA.  I've been through this with Is 1:18.  If when Heb 1 attributes something originally said about the Father to Jesus it means that Jesus is God, then when Heb 1 attributes something originally said about Solomon to Jesus, it means Jesus is Solomon, right?Just so t…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ May 25 2010,09:53)It is Jesus who gives eternal life for He is the Eternal Life:Hi Roo,John 5 says:25 “Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted als…[Read more]

Hi Kathi,You said:Quote All angels would fit into the neighbor category, the non-fallen ones anyway.  Interesting.  You put angels closer to mortal humans than to God – even though they are spirit and not flesh.  I don't.  Now don't get me wrong, I know that Jesus is somewhere in between angels and God, just like you do.  And I know they are not…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ May 25 2010,09:19)What we do know is that the Apostles obeyed the command by baptising in Jesus name. Since Matt 28:18 is the qualifying verse it is of no surprise that Jesus is the name above all names is used. The name of Jesus with the unction of the Holy Spirit invokes the power of God to performe miracles, healings…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ May 25 2010,10:19)T8Why, do you not think Jesus speaks of “a trinity” here?No we do not hang our doctrine on one verse, but for Jesus to speak of the three the way he did is a good start.Why do you think he mentions the three with a singular name and all having the definite article?I haven't seen any valid explanation…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ May 24 2010,08:56)So what's your point? The word “LORD” in capitals translates into Greek as “kurios” or “Lord” (lower case). The Greek Septuagint uses “kurios” in Deuteronomy 6:4Hi All,You are wrong, Jack.  The word LORD in any OT is put in place of YHWH, period.  It doesn't “translate into” anything.  Because by the ti…[Read more]

Hi Roo,Can't answer me? Oh, that's right…you've excommunicated me because I'm not on board with Jesus is God Almighty.Grow up you child.peace and love,mike

Hi Kathi,You said:Quote I have given you scriptures for what I believe.That is my point Kathi.  Your scriptures don't actually say what you think they do.  They COULD mean that, but they don't say it for sure.  So all you are really going on is your own conjecture.  But then you seem to think because I don't agree with your conjecture (not scr…[Read more]

Hi Roo,I was perusing my debate with WJ and came across this:Keith,Forgive me for posting here. I want to direct you to my reply today to Mike's false charge against me. He copied and pasted my statement out of context. In reply I copied and pasted ALL that I said in relation to that statement.See my reply to Mike today in my debate with him.The…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ May 24 2010,02:52)Mike……..Matt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until NOW the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.  Yes Mike and it still does suffer Violence and the apostates have overtaken it with violence, but still there are some who have not yielded and the Kingdom of…[Read more]

Hi Gene,Do you believe there will be a new heavens and a new earth and a New Jerusalem?  Do you believe that God will make all things new?  Do you believe there will be a time when all the tears are wiped from our faces?  Do you believe there will be a time when one will look for evil and not be able to find it because it won't exist?  These are…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ May 23 2010,12:54)Mike,If God intended to keep the mystery of His Son a mystery until He was ready to reveal it, He did a good job…didn't He?Many people now see the person of the Son as being called Jehovah as well as the person of the Most High God, the Father as being called Jehovah.  It is not just me.  That mystery of C…[Read more]

Hi Kathi,You said:Quote Maybe it is you who wants very badly for Jesus to be something less than scripture teaches.  Don't you think that is a possibility?Not at all.  I yearn to give Jesus every bit of honor and praise he deserves.  Jesus never called himself God.  He always deferred greatness to his Father only.  He even said, “Why do you call…[Read more]

Hi Jack,You said:Quote Second, You speak only a half truth. The apostle Paul ALSO said that Christ Himself will bring His enemies into subjection.Who does this Scripture and many others say placed Jesus' enemies under him so that he could subdue them?22And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the…[Read more]

Hi Kathi,Thanks for your condolences about my lost Kangaroo.   Maybe he'll love me again tomorrow.You have said:Quote I did think that it might be possible that Cyrus was mentioned as being the Arm of God in scripture for the situation with Babylon, and Cyrus is a person.  The Arm can be a person and I suggest that the Arm is often the Son who i…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ May 22 2010,19:08)It always amazes me where people use verses quoted from the Old Testament which speak of God doing or saying something, as proof of Jesus being God when that same verse is quoted in the New Testament by Jesus or the Apostles.Hi Kathi and JA,So true JA.  I've been through this with Is 1:18.  If when Heb 1 a…[Read more]
