Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Sep. 12 2012,16:28)in the book of Philippians Shaul makes mention that Yahshua was in the “FORM of Yahweh WHEN HE WAS HERE IN THE WORLD.Hmmm………… So Jesus already WAS a human being when he was “made in the likeness of a human being”?

Quote (Ed J @ Sep. 12 2012,01:18)Hi Mike,So you agree with me then that it doesn't prove “Jesus is God”……….Have I ever claimed Jesus is God?   As for the rest of your post, I will put this as simply as I can:When Jehovah says there is no savior apart from Him, it is an EMPHATICAL statement, and not a LITERAL one.  We know this because we k…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Sep. 11 2012,16:31)Mike,Nowhere in Scripture is Yahshua called “a god”.Yep. Nowhere except for Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, John 20:28, Hebrews 1:8, and POSSIBLY Titus 2:13 and a couple of other places.

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 12 2012,14:39)Mike,The Hebrews worshiped the one they called 'The Word of YHWH' as well as the one they called YHWH as per the targums.So, the sensible Hebrew person will understand 'the Word of YHWH' to be YHWH also, in some sense.Which is it?  Did they worship the Word AS WELL AS worshiping YHWH – meaning they worshiped…[Read more]

Thanks Wm.

Also, have you found a DIFFERENT dictionary that says “almighty” is the DEFINITION OF “el”? YES or NO?Have you found any scripture that TRANSLATES “el” as “almighty”? YES or NO?

Quote (Ed J @ Sep. 09 2012,12:09)No Mike,”interchangeable” is not the same as “definition”.Okay Ed,This is the point you lettered “A”, right?  You said that I have used faulty logic.But what you've actually done is to admit I'm right about it.  If “interchangeable with” is NOT the same as “definition of” (as you've just admitted), then it is Y…[Read more]
