Quote (942767 @ Jan. 08 2012,18:26)Hi Mike:No, not being difficult, nor am I confused, just trying to get you to justify what you have stated, which you have not.Okay Marty, If you want to do this the hard way, let's do it:Marty, is it possible for God to cause one of His angels to be born of flesh from a human woman? YES or NO?

Quote (Wakeup @ Jan. 08 2012,16:49)Yes brother,Gods word is God…….So then it was God Himself who became flesh and had the glory of the only begotten OF God? How does that work? Is God His own “only begotten”?

Quote (seekingtruth @ Jan. 05 2012,21:34)How could he see God with his own eyes since eyes are basically flesh.Hi Wm,Angels do not consist of flesh, but some of them see the face of God every day with their own eyes:Matthew 18:10See that you do not look down on one of these little ones.

Quote (942767 @ Jan. 07 2012,19:01)In John 1:14 what God has spoken pertaining to Jesus became a reality.So it was “what God has spoken pertaining to Jesus” that dwelled on earth with the glory of God's only begotten Son?The words God speaks are considered to be His “sons”?

Quote (942767 @ Jan. 07 2012,21:28)Really, Mike:Michael, Gabriel what difference does that make.

I'll take that as: “Yes Mike, it DOES say that BOTH the Lord God AND the Lamb will be coming to earth in the New Jerusalem. But since I don't want you to “win”, I will continue to play games instead of answering your question with a direct answer.”Didn't you know, jammin, that if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice?

Quote (carmel @ Jan. 08 2012,06:00)Mike,I am going to start with the word ANOINTED.Good. That seems a fine place to start, Charles.Anointed means “dedicated to the service OF God”.If Jesus is in the service OF God, and therefore a servant OF God, then Jesus can't possibly BE the God he is a servant OF, right?

Quote (Marlin1 @ Jan. 07 2012,22:56)Brother Mike,you said, Quote Marlin, before moving on, please address whether scripture teaches that God SENT His Son into the world, or that God Almighty Himself came into the world and died. Which one of these two choices is the vast, underlying teaching of the gospel?Quote ISAIAH 9:6 † For unto us a child i…[Read more]

Hi Wakeup,I can't find the threads where I asked you this before:What is your opinion of this site?Do you think the KJV people are trying to gain name recognition for the JWs?

Hi Wakeup,Perhaps I'm not being clear enough.  Will you please DIRECTLY address the points I've made bold in my previous post?
