Quote (Wakeup @ Dec. 15 2013,17:42)Mike b.So you favour:I tell you today;you will—–instead of I tell you; today you you will—–Absolutely.  Like I said, the way I prefer it, it is simply a true statement that Jesus made.  The way you prefer it needs fancy explanations to go along with it.Quote (Wakeup @ Dec. 15 2013,17:42)How would you i…[Read more]

I'd have an easier time believing it if you could show me the word “anew” in Col 1:16, 1 Cor 8:6, or Heb 1:2.Can you do that, Kerwin?

Quote (journey42 @ Dec. 16 2013,16:44)So NO, The beginning of creation is not when God created Adam and Eve, but before that even. He had to create “Heaven” and the “host of heaven” FIRST. ie. AngelsYou have it right on this one, journey.Don't listen to Kerwin's flapdoodle.

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 16 2013,13:25)My claim is that this further identifies the two powers of heaven.Well then, go back and read verse 12 again…….. because that verse further identifies that one is a SERVANT of God, and one is God, who deemed that SERVANT worthy to receive much glory, honor, and power.So yes, Jesus and his God Jehovah are…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 16 2013,13:23)Was Jesus always alive in the flesh, Mike? If so, then He did not become flesh. If not, then he had to be given life in the flesh.Are you saying that between spirit and flesh, Jesus completely died, ceased to exist, and had to be GIVEN life again?I don't believe that. I believe the spirit servant of God,…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 16 2013,13:21)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 11 2013,19:48)God chose to explain His relationship to Jesus as “Father/Son”.  He explained it this way to HUMAN BEINGS, who would only understand a “father/son” relationship in one way, ie:  the father ALWAYS exists before the son does.And I suppose you agree that all God's other S…[Read more]

Wakeup? Kerwin and I have both asked you the same question. Why do you not answer it?And why don't you answer the 9th post on page 49?

Thanks Pierre.

Quote (Wakeup @ Dec. 13 2013,02:47)Mikeb.I am not in the habit of changing the scriptures.Nor reconstructing the sentences.You don't have to. The original Greek didn't have any commas, Wakeup. So it said, “Verily I say unto thee today shalt thou be with me in paradise.”Now, without “reconstructing” the sentence, tell me where the comma should…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Dec. 13 2013,00:50)Mike, I'll deal with your insults later!journey,Could you please quote the insults I made against you, so I can afford you a proper apology for them.

Quote (journey42 @ Dec. 12 2013,19:58)How can God have a SON before he is born?  He needs to be born first before he can be made into “his son”.  There were witnesses to his birth.  A Son was born.So then none of us are sons or daughters of God right now, because we will be REBORN as sons and daughters later on, right?If there are witnesses of my…[Read more]

Also, from that same site:Of course, the reason people usually ask about the New Testament authors’ use of the Septuagint is because it contains the seven deuterocanonical books that are now omitted from Protestant Bibles. Showing that the New Testament authors quoted from the LXX argues in favor of (though does not in itself prove) the i…[Read more]

Full QuestionWould it be possible for you to cite the Scripture passages that Jesus used when he quoted from the Greek Septuagint (LXX) and what Septuagint passages are clearly alluded to in the New Testament?AnswerIf this magazine were about ten pages longer, perhaps.

Quote (942767 @ Dec. 13 2013,09:25)Hi Mike:One more thing, you make the following statement which includes a question:Quote And what about all the other things I posted?  What about 1 Cor 8:6, for example?  Do you agree that the “all things” that came THROUGH Jesus are the same exact “all things” that came FROM God?If not, why not?  And if so, is…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Dec. 13 2013,09:11)Hi Mike:And so, according to you, the Word = Jesus was with God and Jesus was “a god” (past tense), but now, according to the scriptures “he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God”?Jesus was a god back then, and Jesus remains a god – even as he is still the Son of God, the Word of God, and the Christ of God.A…[Read more]

Wakeup, The things you say sound an awful lot like you believe Jesus is God Almighty.Is that what you think?
