Since it has become clear that no one will carefully examine and discuss with me the first five lessons in the discussion “Seven Lessons for John 1:1c,” I am opening this discussion for some of the off-subject comments found there.

miia, When it comes to scripture, I defend what I have found to be true with my own independent study. I have found that scripture really says “the Logos is a god” at John 1:1c. If anyone would actually follow my studies concerning it they would understand why. I would have to stay with this accurate, grammatical translation with or without th…[Read more]

miia: “hi Tigger. reader fatigue is common on the net these days. i can’t sit at a computer for long. perhaps someone else will.”
I understand reader fatigue, believe me.
But each lesson is relatively short, and taken one at a time are not that intimidating. One could print out lesson A and read it at leisure. But no one seems to be will…[Read more]

I don’t see how you can infer that I “don’t want to answer the question.” I assumed you were asking if the Father is also named Jehovah – which I answered.
