Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 28 2012,13:05)Mike,Well, close but more like this:Who, being in very nature God… (someone who has the nature of God and should be treated as God………….)And who or what do you mean by your two uses of the word “God” in your parenthesis?

Quote (jammin @ Oct. 28 2012,08:29)who is that almighty God you are referring to mike?Well jammin,You already said that we only have ONE Almighty God, right?  And we know from scriptures that our ONE Almighty God has a Son named Jesus, right?So you tell me who our ONE Almighty God is.  (Hint: He is the ONE who has a Son named Jesus.)

Yeah, it seems like a PERFECT match to me. Find him an even darker one, to see if he likes it.

They are not clothed with FLESH AND BONES, Kerwin. Beyond that, you are just speculating.Paul said that God would not leave the elect naked, even as resurrected spirit beings. He would clothe us, not with flesh and bone, but with a spiritual tent.

No Kerwin,You are not seeking SCRIPTURAL harmony, but seeking to FORCE the scriptures to harmonize with your own pre-conceived beliefs.You say an historical present doesn't make sense?  Here's what Greek expert Jason BeDuhn says:All the translations except the LB and NWT also ignore the true relation between the verbs of the sentence and produce…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 20 2012,21:05)Mike,The first 'God' is a word that is in contrast to 'servant.'God would mean 'a type of nature that would be served as God.'So then like this?6 Who, being in very nature someone that should be served as God, did not consider equality with God (the Father) something to be used to his own…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 24 2012,14:44)Mike,You believe that Jesus was telling his students to feel his flesh and bones and not telling them to touch him to prove he was physical and not non-physical.I believe just what it says, Kerwin.  Jesus told them to touch him and see that he had flesh and bones, things that spirits don't have.Perhaps spirits…[Read more]

Maybe it's an optical illusion – because his last post is on gray background, and looks a smidge darker that yours, which is on a lighter background.

Which scripture says Jehovah was “eternally a Father”?

Pierre,I'm still hopeful that Kathi's recent insanity is merely a temporary affliction. Ed, I can't see any difference between the two colors.

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 27 2012,02:37)Mike,I have read some more of what you wrote about John 14:9 and the perfect tense there.  Perhaps it ties into the point you are attempting to make on John:56-58.Kerwin,All I want you to realize is that you would have never even given “Before Abraham came into being” a second thought, were it not for your…[Read more]

If people are actually LEARNING now and then (me included), then all this is a worthwhile thing.But what I really hope is that some of these people come to realize that the way they used to read certain scriptures is simply a product of their personal DESIRE for the scriptures to teach what they WANT them to teach.In other words, while it will be…[Read more]

No Kathi. Eternal beings aren't said to have died. Nor are they said to be “born”, “begotten”, “created” or “brought forth” as the first of someone else's works. Nor can they be another one's “son”, for a father ALWAYS exists BEFORE the son he brings forth into existence.You have made a dire mistake in this matter.
