Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.

He is the image of the invisible God. He is the Word. He speaks on behalf of God. He represents God. The Messenger of God.

Now, if everyone who was called “theos” was also called “YHVH.” that is where the mass confusion would come. So we are to follow after the theos who is YHVH. It just so happens that the Father is the theos who is identified as YHVH and the Son is the theos who is identified as YHVH. They are both identified as the theos in the NT and they are bot…

I will repeat this in case my post is too long for you to read.

So yes, many can be called ‘theos’ (singular), just not when referencing them in plural.

Move on please.

“It simply is saying that ‘theos’ can be applied to one or many.”

That is what is not true because the plural is not spelled t h e o s, as you finally realized, as well as the fact that you included theos as an example of a word that is spelled the same in the plural as in the singular in your “sheep list.”

Yes I have already acknowledged the plu…[Read more]

I’ll explain it another way.

First came the law, then came grace.

You are free to not believe.

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

By the way, the plan is still in action. There is further revelation to come.

Your view appears to be more about the constraints of your own mind than what the Old…[Read more]

Then you question your Old Testament my friend. If the NT writers claimed to have got new secret revelation as often quoted by you here they could have very well done without quoting the so called Old Testament. If you want a new revelation and a new religion we have plenty here in our India. We need not look to the Christian one.

I’ve already…[Read more]

I think this is going little personally as your posts are attacking on personal spirituality which is not warranted on these unending debates. I have also asked you to study the Torah and get enlightened which you seem to ignore and take it so lightly. Please stop this black mailing with words like ‘carnal’ and ‘born  from above’ which are simp…

Your second example contains your own words which I have no control over. That is not proof or evidence that I have said you are a liar is it?

If you cannot provide even one example Mike, then you are falsely accusing me.

Please provide an example or admit you are wrong.

Thanks.

Excuse me, but the statement I make in your first quote is correct. It stands on its own. Do you think we cannot utter this? Is this statement incorrect? You first example is a fail. It doesn’t show me saying, Mike is a liar for example.

Agreed. He is quick to call others liars, or insinuate that they are less enlightened than him, just because they interpret certain information differently than he does. I have condemned this behavior many times on this forum.

Show me the proof. A link to a post will be sufficient.

Hi Edj, good to hear from you after long time. The calculations based on the book of Daniel by assigning year to day principle is a mere speculation

Lol. Of course it is speculation. Did you just work that out. Or are you speculating,

@edj

Are you still on for believing the end of the dome of the rock 8n 2023?

No one left now. The consensus among his supporters must be by now that he was a false prophet.

Anyone who was deceived by him care to comment?

The Hebrew name Satan (pronounced SA-tan) actually means “adversary,” and most often in the Hebrew Bible it is prefaced by the direct object, meaning “the adversary” rather than a distinct personal name. Satan’s role grows more developed both in scope and magnitude through time, and, thus, in the earlier writings of the Hebrew Bible, Satan exi…

Satan  appears in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Surprisingly, however, most of what people believe about Satan doesn’t come from the Bible. For instance, the common image of Satan as a forked-tailed, horned demon with a goat’s body from the waist down derives more from the Greek god Pan than anything biblical.

Good to see that you…[Read more]

I think you are confusing the interpretations with revelations. This is where I am against such ideas of Christianity. The ancient man not expected to understand the recent scientific knowledge. I am not for such non-scientific interpretations of the Hebrew Bible.

Armed with the OT and culture of the day, the earth was flat despite the OT not…[Read more]

Audit Finds 74k Ballots Returned without Records, 18k Voters Taken Off Rolls

Would you consider today’s view of the cosmos as a deviation of the ancient Hebrew view?

You repeatedly make claims that the New Testament says this and teaches that and causes confusion. Whether you believe these statements are true or not, I am debunking them to make your protest and claims about the New Testament moot.
