Quote (Ed J @ Dec. 03 2011,21:29)Hi Pierre,Do you consider it 'research' to do an internet search to find someone's commentary that you agree with?God blessEd JYes Ed,It is “research” to do internet searches on the meanings of various Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic words.  Also on the secular matters of life during Biblical times.  Doing this gives a…[Read more]

Gene and Ed,I'll wait to hear back from Kerwin before moving forward with this line of questioning.peace,mike

Tim,Matthew 10:15I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.What do those words from Jesus mean? What is the “day of judgment” Jesus is speaking about?

Charles,Since I started this thread, I've been taken down many various roads of your imagination. I would like to get back to the subject of this thread, which was refuting every claim you made in the opening post. Here was my post concerning your first “Jesus is God” proof text:Charles: Who is omnipotent (all powerful)? 1 Chronicles 29:11…[Read more]

Quote (carmel @ Dec. 04 2011,05:56)I am still waiting for your answer ,whether you accept and believe that Jesus is the same genuine GOD spirit ,who was always eternal with the Father.I'm sorry,  I must have overlooked that question.  My answer is “NO”.Jehovah is God Most High.  Jesus is the Son OF God Most High.  They are not the same Bei…[Read more]

Okay guys……………once again from the top!  1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.So far, the only subject mentioned is “the Word”.2 He was with God in the beginning.We know that the pronoun “He” must refer back to “the Word”, because “the Word” is the only subject thus far mentioned, right?3…[Read more]

I disagree Gene. I don't think any mechanic would tell the owner picking up their car after repair, “I fixed the lights, the transmission, and the car”.”Car” would encompass the other two things, so he would either say, “I fixed the lights and the transmission”; or he would say, “I fixed the car” – as in “everything on the car that was…[Read more]

Ed,Why do you think I went through the “do you like him” exercise in the first place?  I was setting you up.  I knew that you knew the truth of the grammar, so I invented a group of sentences with a subject, and “his” and “him” pronouns.You handled the sample sentence brilliantly, because it is simple common sense that the “his” and “him” refer b…[Read more]

Why not? Because the scripture says the Light was in the Word. It does NOT say the Word was in the Light.How can you just ASSUME the opposite of what the scripture says, Ed?If scripture says “God is in us”, do you just ASSUME that we are in God? Even if the latter was true, you cannot come to that conclusion from “God is in us”.

Fair enough.

Okay Ed,Pick the one you want to start with, and tell me why you think it says Jesus's second coming occured at Pentecost.

What are you saying, Charles? That you'd be okay with “I will be what I will be” as long as you can form it around your “Jesus is God” theory?

Quote (Ed J @ Dec. 03 2011,14:52)Like I said: it was not your use of grammar, but my recollection of the user name “worshiping Jesus”,that clued me in on who you may have meant.So are you saying you don't recollect “the Word” that was just mentioned in verse 14?

Quote (Ed J @ Dec. 03 2011,14:38)Hi Mike, Don't you mean the seventh post?No Ed,I mean the 5th post. The one where you started your whole list of explanations with a flawed #1.
