Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 11 2006,01:16)Hi m42, You say”Rev 19 verse 13 is no proof of Jesus being from the beginning. I can interpret is as His name is the revelation of the intentions and motives of God. No problem. The very word Begotten means began. To believe in an eternal Jesus follows some of the same mistakes as the trinitarians.So the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 11 2006,00:29)Hi m42, You say”Perhaps the best way to describe Logos is as the motives or intentions of God. “We have seen many telling us Jesus is the plan or thought of God but it detracts from the meaning of WORDThe WORD was WITH God appears three times in scripture. It is a fact. A thought or plan is within a being.…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 07 2006,21:58)Hi M42, One of the problems is that men bring here their idols and then try to relate the teaching about God to their idols. We spend much of our time trying to explain who God is to people who are not interested having already decided God is a trinity or oneness or denominational idol. God has never changed…[Read more]

For a few weeks now I have attempted to secure discussion on the functionality of doctrines under discussion. It seems no one is willing to discuss that aspect of the subject. It seems that most only want to have mental exercise on philosophies of mental ascension that masquerade as teaching.Teaching as the Hebrews (including Jesus) practiced had…[Read more]

Quote (Cult Buster @ Dec. 06 2006,06:30)Quite often when people try to demote their God Christ to that of a created being, they confuse Christ's mission as Messiah with His substance. His substance being God Himself. There is abundant scriture to prove this as we have already seen. His mission was to temporarily lay aside His own divine power and…[Read more]

And what are you saying in this context?My post was just by example of showing that the way in which the Hebrew writers of the Bible thought was far different then those of us raised in our Greek thinking cultures.For example in your post to me earlier you said (and I quote)”Hi m42,Scripture…[Read more]

In the world, past and present, there are two major types of cultures; the Hebrew (or eastern) culture and the Greek (or western) culture. Both of these cultures view their surroundings, lives, and purpose in ways which would seem foreign to the other. With the exception of a few Bedouin nomadic tribes living in the Near East today, the ancient…[Read more]
