The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.

So the Holy Spirit fathered Jesus, thus he is his own Father. Whereas if the Holy Spirit is the Father’s own spirit, then it makes sense.

Hi @Pilgrim

However, in all the references you gave or alluded to, the I am statements are in the context of the the person identifying themselves as someone or something. E.g. Gabriel is saying I am Gabriel, the blind man is saying I am the man that was born blind, Peter is saying I am the man you seek. The many times Jesus says “I am” rel…

Looks like the Flat Earthers lost this debate. But we all knew that would happen.

Like the Trinitarians who came here and lost too. They just left in the end rather than acknowledge the evidence and proof they were given.

Interesting story about the Bible in the Oval Office. It’s history and what it means today for America.

Take another scripture you wrongly interpret. “Abraham rejoiced to see” Christ’s day: “and he saw it, and was glad.”  “Then said the Jews unto him, You art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him” (John 8:56-59).…

Have you found the edge yet?

Interesting. I always thought they were endemic to Australia, so I googled it. This is what I found:

 The birds called magpies in Australia are, however, not related to the magpies in the rest of the world (see Australian magpie).

Australian fauna is amazing. They seem to have the equivalent animal elsewhere, but are not related whatsoever.

I think you will find that there are people who support other variations that also say that God told them his name was the other name.

What sets you apart from them? Why would God tell you and not the others who also claim God told them?

T8 and Edj……What Jodi does is bring all the scriptures in that,  apply and back up to her points. Sometimes there are a lot of scriptures that back up a point. She spends a lot of time  writing them down for us.  Why blame her because you guys have such a short attintion spand?  She is simply driving her points in , like a well hammered nail, w…

It keeps them occupied Ed J. And it is easy to converse around them.

I too never read Jodi’s posts. When I converse with her which isn’t often, I apply a rule. I read her fist point and answer it and completely ignore the rest.

Pilgrim, those scriptures you quote settles it. We are 9f the world or of Heaven. If we are the former, our God is the God of this age. The latter means we are children of the Most High.

If people believe their God is the God of this age, who are we to argue against them. It is from their own confession.

To those who say that YHWH is the god of this world, may I remind you:
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” 

God is without sin. Why would God be the God of a world that we are suppose to avoid lest we beco…[Read more]

Probably a common Irish name. My heritage too.

Thanks Davo. I took a look at your profile. I knew someone with your exact name once when I lived in Ireland.

Gene, if all countries are in debt, by whom are they in debt too? Who is the debt collector?

It seems New Zealand has beaten Covid-19. No new cases for a few days now. The odd case might pop up, but they are always from known cases. But it is possible that we may never see another case here. But now that we are at Level 2 and things are slowly going back to normal, I can only hope this thing doesn’t spring up again.
