Wakeup,I think you missed this post from me:Now, I want to know if Thomas thought he was looking at God Almighty when he said, “My Lord and my God”.What is your answer? Was he looking at the Word of God, and seeing God Almighty Himself? Or was he looking at the Word of God and seeing a SERVANT of God?

Quote (tigger2 @ Dec. 30 2013,18:35)Thanks, Mike.That's my blog, and the studies on it are mine.Wow! Color me impressed. Are all the writings on that site your work? (I know you said “studies” – as in plural – but I'm double checking.)

The long and extravagant explanations are for those who choose not to believe the most sensible and logical meaning of the words Jesus spoke.

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 30 2013,13:09)Mike,Newsflash! Insisting something is true with evidence and contrary to the evidence does not make it true.Ignoring the context of a sentence or phrase because it does not fit with your preconceived notions does not make your claim true either.Kerwin,You're such a knucklehead sometimes. It's like the evidence…[Read more]

That was a very humorous blog, tigger. I did that same thing with Moses for Lightenup once. I showed her that there were more compelling scriptures saying HE was Jehovah than there were saying Jesus was Jehovah.Of course I didn't go to the great lengths and research your writer went to.Kudos, and well done – whoever he is.

Quote (Wakeup @ Dec. 29 2013,01:04)NOT SO: THE LORD OF HOST IS HIS REDEEMER.HE HAS REDEEMED JESUS FROM THE GRAVE.So then “Jesus” was NOT the “God” who redeemed him from the grave? Are you saying that “Jesus” was someone OTHER THAN the God who redeemed Jesus?

Quote (Wakeup @ Dec. 29 2013,01:04)TRINIES BELIEVE:1.GOD THE FATHER IS GOD.2.JESUS IS ALSO GOD THE FATHER.(GOD DIED ON THE  CROSS).Wrong.  You are describing the “Oneness Doctrine” – not the Trinity Doctrine.The Trinitarians believe that the Son is a DIFFERENT PERSON than the Father, but that they are both persons in a single Godhead of t…[Read more]

Okay Wakeup,All the things you say indicate that the Word OF God is not actually God Almighty Himself…… but a DIFFERENT person.Here are some examples of what you said:IT IS GOD THAT GAVE HIS LIVING WORD AUTHORITY TO BE WORSHIPPED.So “God”, ONE PERSON, authorized us to worship “His living Word”, a DIFFERENT PERSON.WHEN HIS LIVING WORD WAS MADE…[Read more]

Marty and Gene and Kerwin,I find it ridiculous that this discussion is now encompassing many teachings from many scriptures – when the simple point remains that Jesus couldn't have spoken about a glory HE WAS HAVING before the world began unless he was actually HAVING that glory before the world began.This is a no-brainer, and it's clear that all…[Read more]
