When the scripture uses the Greek term for God ho theos, it refers to the true God, but when it uses the term theos, without the article ho, it refers not to the God, but to his most ancient Logos (Somn. 1.229-230).
He is speaking of the Koine Greek OT but it can be seen in John 1c that John is claiming the same thing.

If he called them gods to…[Read more]

That choice of words imply he had flesh before he came.

It does to you because you have applied your own understanding to it.

What if “He existed in the form of God, emptied himself, came in the flesh…” actually said:

He existed in the USA, denied his citizenship, and came to England.

I suppose if you believed he never existed in the USA, t…[Read more]

What salvation. The one written for the saved?

t8,

Where is it written that salvation is a free gift?

Does that idea fit with Jesus’ words that strive to enter the narrow gate in Luke 13:24?

Do you not know that we have been purchased for a price that is life for life. Salvation is a gift, you cannot earn salvation because the soul that sins will die. Even if you didn’t sin starting from t…[Read more]

Agreed. But how did you come to God if the Bible has no instruction on being saved for the sinner?
From what book did you receive the true message of salvation?
Or perhaps it was an oral tradition that was passed down?

Or maybe that message came from the scriptures itself, the ones that were written for the saved?

Hi t8,

A man sowed the seed and some fell on fertile ground and it sprouted.

By the grace of God some respond.

Then if they obey they can eat of the letters to the saved and benefit.

Right. Nick seems to disregard that because the books and letters were written to the saved.

t8,

The bible contains no letters to the unsaved. The closest are the book of Acts and Gospels but all of them are written to the saved.

Then how do you know the true message to the unsaved that can save them?

Nick, here is the answer to your post from your own post.

Hi T8,
Where have we said anything about the salvation of Ray Comfort?

We have found his teachings false.

The rest is God’s.

hi t8,

Why would you defend what God finds offensive?

False teachers have no inheritance.

Hebrews 1:14
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve t…[Read more]

Nick, I am, not sure of your point, but the spirit can speak through any of God’s sons without them talking about themselves.

Jesus said that he only speaks what he hears the Father speaking. Thus Jesus is speaking, but choosing the words of his Father.
This is not necessarily Jesus as an empty shell with God inside speaking and doing.

Archaeologists in Jerusalem Unveil Biblical-Era Seal From King Hezekiah

A dump site is the last place you would expect to find an 8th century B.C. seal for a papyrus document signed by one of the kings of Judah.

Perhaps that’s why it has taken 2,700 years for the piece of clay inscribed with King Hezekiah’s seal to be discovered in Jer…[Read more]

There are many things we do not know.

But we do know that a huge flood could do things in the geological record that would take millennia otherwise.

We also know that there will be and have been many ages.

Did God mean to create plants  or animals that live eternally, or do they last for the age.

Yes man was designed to live eternally,…[Read more]
