Like I said, it is literally translated as “O shining one, son of the dawn”.Many understand those words to refer to a morning star (shining, dawn), and translate it as such.Many others see the proper name “Lucifer” in that statement – and attribute that name to Satan.Many of us take many liberties with the words of scriptures. Sometimes we have…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Dec. 13 2013,16:55)Have you noticed how Mike avoids this scripture,  like the plague……..Gene,Who is the “Son” that is called “O God” in Hebrews 1:8?  Who are the gods Jehovah assembles with in Psalm 82?

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Dec. 13 2013,13:08)Do I trust in HIS power, NO , I trust in the POWER of MY GOD who is with him.So you don't think the God of Jesus has given him power and authority over heaven and earth? Hmmmmm………..(Of course, ALL power originates with the MOST HIGH God, but once God GIVES power to another being, say, a less high…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 13 2013,12:09)To answer you question the glory God has reserved for Jesus was not a body of any type.Which scripture tells us that God had glory “reserved for” Jesus?I know of John 17:5, which speaks of the glory Jesus himself HAD with God before the world began. I'm not familiar with the scripture that says God had…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 13 2013,12:02)T,To be called a god is not necessary being a god.Why do you suppose Paul called Satan a god, Kerwin?Because he wasn't one? And why did God foretell that Jesus would be called “mighty god”? Because he wasn't going to be one? Rest assured, if I call you an idiot, it is because I truly believe you are an idiot.…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 12 2013,20:15)Mike,One that is not reborn in spirit will not inherit the kingdom of God.  The only way to be reborn in spirit is by the power of acting through his Spirit.It is like you missed a large part of message of the gospel.Where is this “reborn IN spirit” coming from?Jesus said, “spirit gives birth to spirit“,…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Dec. 14 2013,11:49)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 11 2013,20:38)No.  The LOGICAL conclusion is that all things in heaven – EXCEPT FOR GOD HIMSELF – were created by God.Similarly, the LOGICAL conclusion to your perceived dilemma is that all things – EXCEPT THE WORD HIMSELF – were created through the Word.But wait a minute… If…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Dec. 14 2013,12:21)Ra (Re) was the primary name of the sun god of Ancient Egypt.Wakeup,”Ra” is a Hebrew word which the KJV translates as evil 442 times, wickedness 59 times, wicked 25 times, mischief 21 times, hurt 20 times, bad 13 times, trouble 10 times, sore 9 times, affliction 6 times, ill 5 times, adversity 4 times, favoured 3…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Dec. 13 2013,21:57)Quote (mikeboll @ 64)journey, do you understand now that “evil” was merely the CHOICE made by the KJV scholars in Is 45:7, and that they could have just as easily CHOSEN “I send trouble”, or “I create adversity” instead?I want to HEAR you and Wakeup both say that you UNDERSTAND this fact.  So………… DO…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Dec. 13 2013,21:55)That is a good analysis. Yes you could liken it to a computer virus that was PUT THERE on PURPOSE. PROGRAMMED.I disagree however how you imply it, that it was an “accident” and God did not know what he was doing.I never implied such a thing.Listen carefully: The fact that God created beings with free wills,…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Dec. 13 2013,21:16)Mike,Do I really need to prove to you that God is all knowing?I agree that God has the ability to know all things.  There are certain scriptures that show that God doesn't always WANT to know all things, and therefore sends out envoys to check the status of the earth, etc.  But that is for a different d…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Dec. 13 2013,19:32)Mike, I quite agree with you on God having no part with evil. I don't believe there is a Bible version without fault, but mistranslations are identified through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and an understanding from the whole of scriptures.

Kerwin has made a great point, Wakeup. You think that because the others bowed before the Lamb and God, the Lamb is somehow equated with his God.But in the passage Kerwin quoted, the congregation bowed down before the King and God. Using your reasoning, that should also equate King David with God.On the other hand, if you DON'T believe it…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Dec. 13 2013,05:24)God's living Word was transformed;From one existence(spirit) to another existence(flesh).So then, for the 33 years God's Word was a flesh man on earth, God couldn't talk at all? To answer the question you asked: YES, I am very confused by your interpretation of the teaching of John 1.Your claim is that Jesus…[Read more]

journey,Are you convinced that the LXX was a real thing, and that it was used by Jesus and his disciples?

Yes Wakeup.But does being the BRIGHT morning star prohibit the existence of other morning stars? Or does the adjective “bright” actually support the fact that there are others, and Jesus is the BRIGHT one?It doesn't matter, because other morning stars are listed in Job 38, and they sang together when God laid the foundations of the earth.So the…[Read more]

Also, I want to HEAR from you that you UNDERSTAND the following:1.  “Shachah” is translated in the KJV in the following ways:worship 99, bow 31, bow down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3, themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch 1, misc 3Do you understand that the Hebrew word “shachah” means all of the above things, and that it is merely the CHOICE…[Read more]
