Nick, I would like to see your DIRECT response to t8's excellent explanation about “I am”.  Do you assert that Jesus was talking about HIMSELF for many sentences, and then all of a sudden, on the last sentence, God overtook his words to claim the obvious that He (God) existed before Abraham?  YES or NO?Frank, I would like to see your DIRECT r…[Read more]

Quote (toby @ Feb. 25 2012,15:26)Hi Mikeboll.Can you explain how your favourite author ……………Nope.  I couldn't explain how Barnes and Gill are Trinitarians either, nor would I care to venture a guess what goes through their minds.I agree with many, many different scholars………………WHEN THEY SPEAK ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE.  Now, s…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 25 2012,11:17)Hi MB, Perhaps you may be. But we serve truth and not ourselves do we not?This is the first sensible thing you've said in quite a while, Nick. YES, we serve SCRIPTURAL truth, no matter how bad it messes up our personal WISHES for Jesus to have been “exactly like us”.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Feb. 25 2012,12:45)Mike ……..By the way this thread is 'DO SPIRITS HAVE BODIES”, it is not about is Jesus or Angels “Spirit Bodies”.Gene, do angels have bodies in heaven? YES or NO?

Quote (david @ Feb. 25 2012,00:01)Ed, which is correct?1. YHVH2. JehovahI don't suggest either is correct, but only want to know your thoughts on the KJ, which has 'Jehovah', yet you use YHVH??How about the newly published “Divine Name KJV”, which replaces “LORD” with “Jehovah” in all the places the NWT has had it all along?  (And I don't really…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 25 2012,12:55)By definition and common understanding of words, the spirit “of” God is not God himself.Oh, how many times I have SCREAMED this at Ed and others here. Can you people not even understand the simple word “OF”? If Jesus is Son, Christ, Lamb, Servant, etc OF God, then he is not the God he is those things OF.If God's…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Feb. 25 2012,13:45)If your word is not with you, could you please tell us who your word is with if believe that it is not with you?My words are not “with me”, Frank.  Words are CREATED ANEW from my brain each and every moment of my life.  Sometimes those words remain thoughts in my head, and other times, I speak those words t…[Read more]

Frank,What about all the “coincidences” in my last post to you?  Don't you find it at least interesting that John called a person “The Word of God” in Rev 19:13, and then he called someone by that same exact title in John 1:1 and 1:14?  Doesn't it seem probable that since this “Word of God” became flesh and had the glory of God's only begotten S…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 25 2012,10:43)When will you come down from the self appointed role of arbiter of truth?The real question is: When will YOU?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 25 2012,11:08)You are best equipped to decide when prophetic scripture applies?Obviously better equipped than you are. Nick, I'm truly tired of you. You say nothing of value. You spout little condescensions to everyone here, as if you are our great, knowledgable teacher or something. But you are just arrogant – that's…

Yes Nick. Like when Paul speaks of having already “died” to sin. Do you suppose Paul LITERALLY died? Nick, this topic is about whether or not spirit beings such as angels and the raised Jesus have bodies in heaven or not.Stick to the topic.

Read the post at the top of this very page, Nick. Shall we just keep circling?

Poetic language, Nick. Learn to tell the difference.(Do me a favor and go talk to someone else for a while, okay?)

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 25 2012,10:52)Hi MB, Prophetically yes.Just as the rest of Ps 2 had yet to happen.No Nick,The words, “where is the one who WAS BORN KING” do not speak of a prophecy.And in Ps 2, it is a case of God HAS DONE this, and in the future, because of the “this” he already did, this other stuff WILL HAPPEN.The fact that God…[Read more]

Having citizenship in heaven means being a citizen of heaven. Just like having citizenship in the U.S. means I'm a citizen of the U.S. – whether I'm actually IN the U.S. or not. But yes, it has to do with being a citizen of heaven.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 25 2012,10:46)Hi MB, So you do not believe David was a prophet?Sure, David was indeed a prophet. Does that mean that every quoted word of David in scripture was a prophesy?It is up to you to prove that the past tense “have begotten you” was a future prophesy. If you cannot, then accept the words as they are.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 25 2012,10:44)Can you follow a superman?I can follow the teachings of God Almighty Himself, Nick. Why would you and a few others imagine that we can't also follow Jesus unless he was “exactly like us”?

My view is nothing less than what the scriptures actually teach, Nick.Hmmmmm……………. John calls Jesus “The Word of God” in Rev 19:13. The same author calls the same person by the same title in his gospel.Who else became flesh and had the glory of God's only begotten Son? Think it out, Nick. Jehovah is not the God of confusion – this…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Feb. 25 2012,08:40)Go and get the definition of what a WORD IS, it is a “intelligent utterance' and expression of the MIND………….So then it doesn't make any sense that an “intelligent utterance” BECAME flesh, does it Gene?
