Quote (Ed J @ Sep. 15 2012,18:19)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Sep. 16 2012,10:39)In other words, they considered the mss that have “God” in 1 Tim 3:16, along with all the other available mss, and made their own descisions about the variants.Why do you suppose they opted for “he” instead of “God” in 3:16, Ed?Hi Mike, because the word θεὸς (Theos) is not in…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 16 2012,14:13)Mike,They worship one Almighty God…………….So then YOUR doctrine is DIFFERENT than theirs, considering that YOU worship TWO Almighty Gods.And in THEIR case, they believe the Son of God is the very God he is the Son of – since they believe in only ONE Almighty God.So you can see that THEIR doctrine is…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 16 2012,14:44)Mike,I considered what you said but when looking at the context and the events leading up to this and who the 144,000 were, I believe this is a new song from an old song to acknowledge the Lamb with the Father as together as their one almighty deliverer.Kathi,If it was called “The Song of the Lamb”, then you co…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 17 2012,17:12)T,The angels that went to Abraham did not have spirit bodies as they, providing my memory is correct, both ate and were touched.I don't believe ANY scripture speaks of a human being “touching” an angel. And the fact that an angel is physically able to eat human food is not proof they have flesh.After all, human…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Sep. 16 2012,19:08)Hi Mike,Mary's pregnancy is something different altogether, it's des-cribed as a miracle in Isaiah 7:14, as a sign from JEHOVAH.It proves that a HUMAN women CAN BE impregnated by a SPIRIT BEING.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 16 2012,08:58)Eze 37:5……> Thus says the Lord GOD unto these “bones” ; Behold, “I” will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall Live: (6) And “I” will lay “sinews” upon you, and will bring up “flesh” upon you, and cover you with “skin” and put “breath” in you, and you shall “live”; and you shall know that…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 16 2012,03:37)As for angels they passed the same tests Jesus put forth to show they were not spirits; and yet you continue to claim that both Jesus and the angels are spirits.Kerwin,Can you show me the scripture that says, “the angel ate food, thereby proving he was made of flesh”? Humans don't generally eat dirt, Kerwin; but…[Read more]

Quote (limjunus @ Sep. 18 2012,00:04)Where is the passages from the Bible that the Almighty God, should lower Himself or He must go down here on earth transforming from Celestial Supreme Being to as an actual flesh in the guise of Jesus Christ and then died for us?And who was the Almighty God in heaven that the Almighty God on earth prayed to when…[Read more]

Quote (limjunus @ Sep. 17 2012,23:17)They are also “mighty”, the same with Jesus Christ………You have made my point for me.  Since “theos” means “mighty one”, and you just admitted that Jesus is ALSO a “mighty one”, it shows that we CAN'T take the words “only true mighty one” LITERALLY.Quote (limjunus @ Sep. 17 2012,23:17)If we are going to…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Sep. 17 2012,18:36)Mike,The words “el”, “eloah”, “elohim”, “adon”, and “adonia” are also of pagan origin. It seems that you are still hard of hearing and seeing although you do have ears and eyesSo the writers of the Bible, who called Jehovah “el”, “eloah”, and “elohim”, were all talking about a PAGAN God?

Quote (terraricca @ Sep. 16 2012,08:43)mikeis not God ,the GOD OF GODS AND LORD OF LORDSYes He is, Pierre. So that means “for us there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ” is an EMPHATICAL statement, and is NOT meant to imply that Jehovah is not our Lord. It also means there MUST exist other gods that Jehovah is the God OF.

Quote (limjunus @ Sep. 16 2012,03:15)Is there a spiritual benefit by opposing the doctrines of our Lord Jesus Christ?He is vividly saying the truth about God.  “THAT WE MUST KNOW THE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, IS HIS FATHER” attested by his apostles and the prophets of God.limjunis,I don't oppose any doctrines of God, or of His Son Jesus Christ – who is…[Read more]
