Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 20 2012,02:01)Jesus is the first as the Spirit was put on him and he is the way others have the Word placed in them.Kerwin, In YOUR understanding, John 1:14 would have to say “the Word CAME TO BE IN SOMEONE WHO WAS ALREADY FLESH”.  Unfortunately for your understanding, John 1:14 says “the Word BECAME flesh”.Your understanding…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 19 2012,22:28)Since you claim the Word was made flesh then where did the non-flesh parts come from?Kerwin,Jesus is “the Word”. (Rev 19)  Jesus, as the Word, had glory alongside God before the worlds were created through him.  (John 1:3, 17:5, Heb 1:2, Col 1:16, 1 Cor 8:6)  He was sent down from heaven to do the will of God.  (…[Read more]

Yes.

Good Ed.  So you see that “elohim” refers to “gods in the ordinary sense”, and also specifically to “the Supreme God”.Do you see from your source where it means “mighty”? YESDo you see from your source that there are special times when the word itself means “almighty”? NO

Quote (terraricca @ Aug. 19 2012,15:18)thanks Mikebut what I was looking for was were God himself declared him to the king1 Samuel 8:7 And the LORD told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.

No Kathi,YHWH is the actual NAME of God – not an “expression” used of God.

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 19 2012,20:12)Mike,The YHWH speaking with Abraham said that He was going to go to Sodom and Gomorrah:Gen 18:20Then Jehovah said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me.

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 19 2012,20:07)No, the YHWH that was talking face to face with Abraham was the one who rained fire and sulfur from the YHWH that always was in heaven.1.  That's obviously not what your source was claiming.2.  Can you show me where your understanding is CLEARLY explained in the scriptural passage?

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 19 2012,20:01)MarYah = the Aramaic expression of the sacred name YHWH. MarYah may refer to either the Heavenly Father or Yahshua the Son.LORD = the English expression of the sacred name YHWH. That English word may refer to the Heavenly Father, or to Jesus the Son.
