Quote (Marlin1 @ Nov. 12 2012,20:55)Brother Mike,Do you pray in the Name of Jesus Christ?Yes Marlin. Do you not see a difference between praying in the name of Jesus, and praying to Jesus?I pray to my God Jehovah through the name of the one He made a Mediator BETWEEN us and Him.

Thanks for the info, Rich.

But he also had glory alongside his God before the world was created through him. You didn't.He came down from heaven to do the will of his Father. You didn't.He existed in the form of God before…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Nov. 12 2012,20:50) ………YHWH is echad and is the God of gods and the Lord of lords and there is one God, the Father and one Lord, Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ is the Lord of lords…well, it all makes sense for the two to be the YHWH Echad, the eternal unity?So then you ARE making that one little word “echad” into a…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 13 2012,17:32)So, his face was different? Sounds reasonable to me.Quote (david @ Nov. 13 2012,17:32)As we know, I have connected the apparent fact that Jesus wasn't physically recognizable to his closest friends in this account, with the other accounts where he isn't recognized, with the idea that he was raised in the spirit,…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 13 2012,16:44)They can know and strongly believe it was Jesus, but him having a different appearance, they would have a desire to ask: “who are you.” To me, that is logical.I have already agreed with you, David.
