Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Aug. 22 2012,08:37)Do you believe God is Omnipresent?No. In fact, it is a complete IMPOSSIBILITY for God to be omnipresent.

Quote (Devolution @ Aug. 21 2012,19:43)Anyone have a problem with the definition of preserved so far?Well, unless we have before us the original parchments upon which Moses, Samuel, Peter, Paul, etc wrote their letters/laws/prophesies, then I don't think we can honestly say that God's written word was “kept in perfect or unaltered condition”, or “m…[Read more]

My brother Pierre,I have read your posts, and I simply disagree with your conclusion. There is no need to discuss it any further, as we are both aware of what the other believes, and those beliefs are simply different from each other.peace and love,mike

Point is God can destory both…………Gene,How can you say in one sentence that they are the same thing, and then continue on to explain to us how God can destroy BOTH of them?Some of your words…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 21 2012,22:49)Mike,It is my thought that Solomon was speaking of the corpse since the word he used translated to dead dead is sometimes translated corpse elsewhere. Jesus on the other hand was speaking of the soul.Possibly, Kerwin. I can't argue against that conclusion.

Quote (limjunus @ Aug. 22 2012,01:56)Mike,Jammin proclaimed: “Jesus Christ is the One and only truly God”Jesus Christ proclaimed: “My father is the one and only truly God”Now, who is no common sense, Jesus Christ or Jammin?I will believe Christ over jammin every time.

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Aug. 21 2012,19:14)The plan became flesh, and tabernacled among us with the esteem of Yahweh's only begotten son .Why would a plan of Yahweh have the glory of the Son of Yahweh? Is the plan actually Yahweh's Son?

No one came to defend your KJV in the other thread you started – why would you think they'd come to defend in this one?Also, you already know that the Textus Receptus was pieced together from 6 partial mss, with the rest of the KJV being BACK-TRANSLATED from the Latin Vulgate.Why would we use such a recent, partial text when we have since…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 21 2012,17:14)That is why the translators chose to leave 'god' in all lower case, in many instances.So then there actually ARE some “ifs” about it, huh?

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Aug. 21 2012,18:00)Thus, we have a historic precedent which shows the proper understanding of logos is as the “Divine Plan, thought, or motive” of the Almighty Creator.In the beginning was the Divine Plan, and the Divine Plan was with THE God Jehovah, and the Divine Plan was THE God Jehovah.  The Divine Plan became flesh,…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 19 2012,14:37)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 20 2012,07:22)Oh, so now the word “elohim” means “mighty one” EXCEPT for when it refers to Jehovah.“EL”Okay game player, let's just go with this one.Ed, is it your understanding that the word “elohim” means “mighty one”, even when it refers to Jehovah?

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 21 2012,15:24)Hi Mike,Originally Greek had no lower case letters and and θεός translates into English as “God”; no ifs about it.Wrong Ed, as usual.  If the Greek word was written ALL IN CAPS, then a true translation into English would produce an English word written ALL IN CAPS.Now, if only the θ was capped in “theos”, then…[Read more]

 Yes Asana, Jehovah our God is one.  Not two who unite into one.  Not three persons in one.  But just “one”.And that ONE Almighty God has a Son named Jesus.  The Son is not named “YHWH”, but “Jesus”.  And this Jesus is not the Most High God Jehovah, but His Son.It seems to be such a straightforward teaching.  The only reason there is so much d…[Read more]

Okay jammin and Frank,Since you guys can't seem to bring yourselves to acknowledge the simple FACTS concerning the translation of John 1:1c from Greek to English, I will continue without your acknowledgment.We've already learned that John 1:1c can be faithfully translated three different ways:1.  and the word was THE god (God)2.  and the word w…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 21 2012,01:52)Mike,According to your words you believe the Son, a being with a ghost body, transformed into a human being.A being with a “spiritual” body, Kerwin.  Jesus was existing in the form of God before being made in the likeness of a human being, right?  So would you say God has a “ghost body”?Anyway, whatever form in w…[Read more]
