Quote (kerwin @ April 28 2012,16:57)The only way to get around these paradoxes is to conclude that Jesus transformed and then crawled into Mary’s womb; therefore he was not conceived there; even though Scripture states he was.And what word would YOU have used, had YOU been the angel talking to Mary?How would you explain to Mary that one who a…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ April 28 2012,16:28)kerwin,It is not the author of the so-called “Gospel of John” that personified Father Yahweh's word, but it was the Trinitarian translators who chose who chose to personify Father Yahweh's word in an attempt to promote their “Triune God”.The pronouns associated with “the Word” are written in the masculine…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ April 28 2012,15:56)In Revelation 19 it is said of Jesus that “his name is called the Word of God” because here God has spoken to humanity through him……………Hebrews 1 1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son,…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 28 2012,14:16)Hi MB, Has the Word not yet become flesh in you?No Nick.  In fact, didn't you say earlier that the Word was only said to have become flesh in Jesus, and not the OT prophets?But right now, we're dealing with that little word “IN”.When is it ever taught in scripture that the Word became flesh “IN” a person…[Read more]

Nick,If you aren't going to address the points and questions addressed to you AFTER you mouth off in one of your famous, condescending, nonsensical comments, then perhaps you shouldn't make the comment in the first place.

How does that comment even come close to addressing the point I made, Nick?    Sometimes I think you are truly daft.Tell me:  DOES the Bible teach of many gods?  YES or NO?DOES the Bible teach that Jehovah is the God OF the other gods?  YES or NO?If you ever get to the point that you can force yourself to begin speaking according to the actu…[Read more]
