Quote (Wakeup @ Jan. 23 2014,00:24)God is from everlasting and his wisdom is always with Him.There was not a time when God had no wisdom.And that right there should tell you that the “wisdom” in Proverbs 8:22-31 is not LITERAL wisdom, but a PERSON who is metaphorically being called “wisdom”.This wisdom was “created as the first of God's works”,…[Read more]

Yes Pierre,A prophecy is the foretelling of something that hasn't yet happened…… but will.In order to foretell something that hasn't yet happened, someone has to be able to FORESEE that thing happening.  Otherwise, how could they foretell it?But no, power, wisdom, and knowledge – in and of themselves – have nothing to do with the ability to…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 22 2014,04:28)There are a few translations that translate John 1:1 to “the word is divine” which is equivalent. In this case I am depending on those few experts.I'm aware that Moffatt's translation has “divine”. But what do we do with that information from Kittell? He is a scholar who says the “theos” in 1:1c is not the…[Read more]

I await your response to the 2nd post on this page.

Kerwin,Even if you say, “the word is God's“, it is NOT a case of a “counsel” or “interest” of God actually being called “God”.Agreed? I want to see a scripture that supports what your source wrote. I want to see a scripture where “his counsels, interests, things due to him” are actually addressed as “God”.

Quote (Wakeup @ Jan. 21 2014,21:58)Jehovah is a most Holy name.Not to be taken in vain.Whe we speak of the Lord,we know which Lord.Do you even know what “in vain” means in that context, Wakeup?  It means that the divine name of God should not be used in a “WORTHLESS WAY”.  It doesn't mean we shouldn't use it at all.Btw, there are MANY gods and M…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Jan. 21 2014,20:30)But men like to do better, by using the name of God. And many men follow men; rather than the Lord.(The promoters of the jw's name:Not Gods name.)I suppose the original KJV was “pre-promoting” the Jehovah's Witnesses Organization when they used the name “Jehovah” in a few verses?  And that new “Divine Name KJV”…[Read more]

Quote (carmel @ Jan. 22 2014,12:28)ANSWER THIS1Kings 4:29 And God gave to Solomon wisdom SOLOMON WAS NEVER BORN WITHOUT HIS OWN WISDOM!Yes Charles,God gave Solomon more wisdom than he already had. And that verse speaks of LITERAL wisdom, which basically means “knowing things”.

Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 22 2014,06:25)……God is not a person…….Oops. I guess not. I didn't read quite far enough before I answered. Yes Kerwin, God has a PERSONALITY, which means He is a PERSON.

Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 22 2014,03:57)Wakeup,Proverbs 8 is about wisdom and kings rule by it. It is not a being they rule by. Wisdom is treated as a female because it is a female noun in Hebrew though not in English.Kerwin,1 Corinthians 1:24……Christ…… the wisdom of God.Who is the living PERSON that is called “wisdom” in the above verse?…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 22 2014,04:07)Jesus had the Spirit and that is stronger than the “sin seed”.1. Paul does say that God sent His Son “in the likeness of sinful flesh” – so maybe you're onto something there.2. But why would we need to be raised with a different kind of body then? If God's Spirit is stronger than the “sin seed”, wouldn't just…[Read more]
