Quote (jammin @ April 29 2013,15:50)anointed is not the same as Anointed.Let me get this straight………….  you accept that Jesus is the anointed one OF his and our God, but if we cap the “A” on “anointed”, it makes God's “Anointed One” BE the very God who anointed him?   I'm not buying that either.  Come on, jammin.  You're going to have to…[Read more]

Quote (jammin @ April 29 2013,15:53)let mike find version first that God is talking to his angels in gen 1.26I've already listed one for you, jammin. Don't you remember?

Quote (kerwin @ April 29 2013,03:28)Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 29 2013,08:38)To whom do YOU think God was speaking?Mike,God was speaking to and through the host of heaven he had previously created.Agreed, Kerwin.

We know that Jesus, God's firstborn, and also myriads of angels were with God when He created the earth, and ultimately mankind.He could have been speaking ONLY to the firstborn, through whom He then created the adam. Or He could have been speaking to the entire divine counsel of angels.To whom do YOU think God was speaking?

Sorry Ed,That is just gobbledygook. The name “YHWH” does NOT equal “Yah Is Salvation”. Nor is the Holy Spirit of YHWH ever named in any scripture.According to what you are attempting to claim, the “YAH” part represents the name of the Father, and the “SALVATION” part represents the name of the Holy Spirit. That would mean “IS” represents the…[Read more]

Well, David, for one.

Quote (4Thomas @ April 28 2013,19:39)Joshua               YAH Is Salvation (also known as Yah'shua)Yah'shua, the name Jesus is far above all other names, even though some try and reduce it by calling it Joshua…………………..Hmmmm…………………

Quote (terraricca @ April 28 2013,19:21)I UNDERSTAND “FLESH AND BLOOD” AS TO FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN EGO,OR NEEDS AND WANTSSo Paul was saying that our struggle is NOT against our own selfish desires and ego? Who then are these “rulers”, “authorities”, “powers of this dark world” and “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” that our struggle…[Read more]

Quote (abe @ April 28 2013,16:33)Quote (Gene Balthrop @ April 25 2013,05:27)Mike……..The powers of this world are men and world leaders who control the world governments and “IF” the Spirits working “IN” them are evil then those Spirits are influencing them to do those evil works.

Quote (kerwin @ April 28 2013,13:59)Quote (mikeboll @ 64)Can you see how the finished product of anyone who concludes the Word actually WAS the God he was WITH does NOT make any kind of sense at all?I do not view the Word as being literally God.

Quote (kerwin @ April 28 2013,13:59)Mike,Quote (mikeboll @ 64)Wouldn't that mean that “the Word” is someone or something OTHER THAN God, who possessed the nature OF God?That is what I understand.Okay, good. So right off the bat, we know that the translation “and the Word was God“ is faulty, right?The Word was with “God”, right? Now you and I…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 28 2013,14:05)Mike,I was not specifying others as just being human.

Wm?

So you think it was written ORIGINALLY about the great Messiah of God? Hmmm……………. Could be, I suppose.It seems to me that most of those Messianic prophecies were first written about a king or ruler in their day, but had a SECOND, prophetic meaning about Christ.But you could be right. I suppose this Psalm could have been about Christ…[Read more]
