journey, I don't need you telling me about the truth – until you can sucessfully defend your beloved KJV in the case of 1 John 5:7.Do that first, and THEN we'll talk about truth in translations, okay?

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 28 2012,17:00)Hi Mike,How old a currupt manuscript is does not change the fact that it is corrupt.Ed, you keep calling the Alexandrian mss “corrupt”. journey has also said this. Instead of this thread being about which experts like the Alexandrian mss, and which experts like the Majority Text mss, why don't we all just put our…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Aug. 27 2012,22:03)We would like you, brother ,to come back to the Word of God, unpolluted, and start expounding your knowledge deeper.That is EXACTLY what I am doing by digging deeper than the KJV, journey. I'm looking at Greek mss that predate the ones the KJV translators used by up to 1000 years.

Quote (jammin @ Aug. 28 2012,08:22)there is nothing wrong with man and a man.You are correct, jammin.  As I explained just recently, if one is “man” qualitatively, then he is “a man”.  I am MAN (of the species known as “mankind”), and therefore I am A MAN.  So whether or not you add the “A”, it means the same thing.Quote (jammin @ Aug. 28 20…[Read more]

Kathi,That is like me saying, “Instead of trying to define the word 'lord', let me just make an acronym of what it means to me:  L is for LoveO is for OmnipotentR is for Reigning over usD is for Divine”And then, some years later, some other dude says, The “D” is the telling part, making it clear that Lord Jesus is Divine!Kathi, if only the “meem”…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 26 2012,14:07)Mike, Quote It seems that if the Jews worshipped the word of Jehovah, then Jesus was saying that he too worshiped that word.  So if that word was always him, he would be saying he worshiped himself.  But if that word was sometimes OTHER messengers of God, Jesus would have been saying that he worshipped a…[Read more]

That would add up to TWO Almighty Gods, Kathi. There is but ONE Almighty God. Jesus is that One's Son.

One of the 12 Apostles, since the writer recorded himself as reclining along with Jesus at the last supper.We can rule out Peter and Thomas due to context.  And we can rule out Judas Iscariot also.The writer of this gospel, the writer of 1 John, and the writer of Revelation all refer to Jesus as “the Word of God”.  We know the latter book was w…[Read more]

Quote (Devolution @ Aug. 27 2012,06:36)Mike, there is no evidence whatsoever that the Alexandrian line      was taught or found anywhere else besides within Egypt. Don't you think there is a reason why the early Christians REJECTED this line outright?Devo, OLDER is better in this case.  I'll ask you what I asked Ed before (which he never ans…[Read more]

God's body is described for us in many scriptures. He obviously has a form (“morphe” = outward appearance), or Jesus couldn't have been existing in His form before he was made in the likeness of a human being.

Gene,God can raise children of Abraham from stones. Do stones have DNA?

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 26 2012,18:21)Mike,My point is that the statements are the same.In other words, that whole thing was an exercise in futility for me, and the bottom line is that Phil 2 STILL teaches that Jesus was existing in the form of God before being made into the likeness of a human being?

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Aug. 27 2012,17:23)Mike,The main point is that Yahshua was speaking of the esteem (“glory”) that he had with his and our Father Yahweh before the world began and not that he pre-existed his birth as an actual being and that he was with Him in the beginning. Just as an earthly father looks forward to having a child and has…[Read more]
