Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,13:15)Mike,The word hos is a Koine Greek word and has an accent mark over the o.  It is translated “as” in many English versions.John 1:14American Standard Version (ASV)14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,13:07)So by the time the clause “and dwelt among us” occurs that instance of the word has the quality of flesh, Jesus is the word. The same is true of the clause “full of grace and truth” and the words “grace and truth” are mentioned in verse 17 linking the word is flesh to Jesus.What? Are you saying that by the…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,13:07)……then flip the order of words so that the Jesus Christ is the word……..What? Why? Why are you “flipping the order of the words” John wrote?You need to make sense of the statement AS John wrote it. You can't just go “flipping words” to make things come out the way you WANT them to come out.

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,13:07)The word was is a past tense of the word be and among a few other meaning can mean the qualities of a thing.That post was a bunch of mind-numbing mish-mash that doesn't make sense to me.Let's start with the part in the quote box above. The phrase isn't “the Word WAS flesh”. The phrase is “the Word WAS MADE, or…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,14:30)Mike,Quote 3.  Verse 11 tells us our battle is against “the devil” – who is NOT a human being.Not quite correct.  Our battles is against Satan's schemes of which temptation is one.  He has multiple schemes but the short term purpose of them is to make it more opportune to tempt a human, humans, or humanity.  I…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,14:20)Mike,Quote 2.  Verse 7 once again contrasts “the Lord” against “human beings”.Why do you believe “the Lord” is not Jehovah who we both believe is not a human being?Verse 5 calls that Lord “Christ”.

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,14:13)Mike,Quote 1.  “Masters according to the flesh” refers to HUMAN masters  – which are contrasted against our Lord Jesus, who is NOT a “human master”.You have that one wrong as Jesus rules the spirit by the Spirit.  Flesh is being used as a synonym  of body.  I think it is used much the same way in the saying “the…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,13:52)Mike,Yes, flesh and blood can also symbolize those of human decent which will fit the context of Ephesians 6:12 but not of 1 Corinthians 15:50.It fits 1 Cor 15 EXACTLY, Kerwin.

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 22 2014,13:41)The words powers and authorities hint or more than hint at devils while the spiritual wickedness is a very good description of the desires of the flesh.So even though the words “more than hint at devils”, you will cause yourself to believe that the passage ISN'T speaking of devils?   And how in the world does…[Read more]

Oh, and we are also ALWAYS discussing the Trinity, on this thread as well as on every thread – as you already know.So you can give your opinion/knowledge on that in this thread.(Btw, you are welcome to comment in the kangaroo court thread. It is in the Hot Seat section, but it is open to all.)

Or, you could weigh in on whether or not the flesh being Jesus of Nazareth was the son of God AND the son of Mary.Or you could help Gene to understand that “faith”, by its very definition, is the belief in something WITHOUT evidence.

Well, who do YOU think “the Word” from John 1:1 is/was? And why do you think that?

Quote So contrary to scripture Isaiah did not see any glory but was imaging it in the future?Did John see the future glory of the Word of God riding the white horse?Likewise, Isaiah saw the future glory of the Messiah who was the arm of Jehovah (a glorious position in and of itself), and who would prosper, prolong his life, justify many, and…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 23 2014,11:19)Mike………..You failed to answer, for what reason they were done? There is no scripture that say Faith is a supposition of reason of man own mind as you false believe.  I told you the signs were done to BOLSTER people's faith, Gene.Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 23 2014,11:19)Without EVIDENCE from God,…[Read more]

And no one anywhere wants to talk about or acknowledge the existence of slavery so I am left with this.No one wants to talk about slavery with you, so you thought you'd bring a big post about Ed's kangaroo court…[Read more]

Quote (Colter @ Mar. 23 2014,04:56)No, actually it's in the bible. Jesus taught and lived a faith based gospel 3 years before the cross but People who get their religion about Jesus through the Roman way of thinking apparently have never been taught that. So they actually need Jesus to be sacrificed after an unjust trial. I don't subscribe to the…[Read more]

My answer was that the “Son of Man” would be judging, because the Son of Man, with his human experience, understands our flaws and weaknesses better, and therefore makes a better judge.What is your answer?
