Quote (Ed J @ June 09 2012,21:18)Hi Mike,God's word is not 'a god', but the essence of God himself.In the beginning was the essence of God, and the essence of God was with God, and the essence of God was God.Is that how it goes, Ed?

Quote (Ed J @ June 09 2012,21:17)Hi Mike,John 6:38 is about Christ, John 1:1 is about the HolySpirit(Jesus' father).God blessEd JSo Jesus came down from heaven as well as God's Holy Spirit?

Hi Ed,Even though you didn't come right out and answer my question, I gather that you understand and accept that there are three ways to translate John 1:1c.And that is all I was after from you and Nick in the first place. Because once you acknowledge that it CAN be faithfully translated as “a god”, then it comes down to which translation makes…[Read more]

Tell me why the translation that places our one God with Himself is the “unaltered” one, Ed.Since we already know Jesus is a god, and we already know that Jesus is called “the Word”, and we already know that Jesus is the only begotten of God, then how much more sense it makes, and how much more it aligns with scripture if Jesus was a god who was…[Read more]

Without my spirit, there is no “Mike”. My flesh cannot be “with” Mike. My soul cannot be “with” Mike. My spirit cannot be “with” Mike.

Ed,Do you acknowledge the undeniable FACT that John 1:1c can either be translated as “God” or as “a god”? Because THAT is what I'm trying to teach you. Have I done that yet?

Quote (Ed J @ June 09 2012,12:48)Hi Mike,Since I'm unfamiliar with the Coptic languages article usages……….Doesn't matter, Ed.

I don't know, Ed.  What I know is that the very first time people had the opportunity to translate 1:1c as “a god”, they did so.Ed, have I now successfully taught you that 1:1c can be translated as “God” or “a god”? Or did you already know this FACT of translation?

1 Corinthians 1427 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.Ed, you have some strange ideas; like you being an alter and the AKJV being foretold in scripture.But back to the…[Read more]
