    Jesus is not God

    Oh my goodness! Now Moses is God! Lol.

    Jesus is not God

    It cracks me up! Many Catholic and Protestant published works, and many encyclopedias, will say unequivocally that ‘the Trinity is a mystery’. (A mystery is just that: something anomalous that can’t be explained.) And there are people on here, trying to explain it! Knowing Who God is, should...

    Jesus is not God

    Nope. He meant solely as a unity of purpose. Jesus clarified this…. Read John 17:20-23…. “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union...

    Jesus is not God

    Hey Walt! Actually, I’m sure you know, there are no capital letters. So it’s “word” and “god”. And the second “god” has no definite article (“the”), and comes before the predicate. Third, there is no “the” before “beginning.” Fourth, we need to keep in mind, Koine Greek in which the Gospel...

    Jesus is not God

    In prayer to his Father, Jesus said, “I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one.” —John 17:22 Meaning is important. Don’t you think? Because at John 6:53, Jesus also said his disciples needed to ‘drink his blood and eat his flesh.’...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Hello Blü 2… Religious beliefs evolve over time, due to influence of others. (This certainly occurred in Christianity, as it was prophesied to happen! — Acts 20:29,30; 2 Tim. 2:16-18; 1 John 2:18; Matt. 7:21-23; etc.) Maybe it’s not a prominent belief in Judaism currently, but a few OT...

    I replied in post #3,532, but I have to ask: why did you say “poison”? (Most snakes are not venomous.) Is there some reason? Or did you just mean “snakes”?

    Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

    Is The Quran Superior?

    Where does the Bible say “god in the flesh”? Jesus said, “God is a spirit.” (John 4:23,24) Notice, Jesus didn’t say “Father” there. He said “God”. There’s only one God, separate from Jesus. (1 Corinthians 8:5,6) Jesus’ own words confirmed it at John 17:3. I don’t understand why people have...

    You mean the Egyptian magician staffs? The Bible doesn’t say, but probably because the intelligent entities / demons behind these powers, are copycats. (The first plague that followed - frogs - these magicians, through the demons, were able to imitate, but Jehovah prevented them from...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Why would a loving God prohibit people from attempting to speak with their dead loved ones, if they could? Wouldn’t that provide healing and closure for the living? It’s not for nothing, that inquiring of the dead is lumped together with witchcraft & sorcery @ Deuteronomy 18:10-14, NLT….. “For...

    Hello Blu. There’s much more of your post I want to address, whether I will get to it is another matter, but regarding the above…. What do you think the Jewish Levitic priesthood, and all those sacrifices the Israelites were required to give, was about? It was about atonement for their...

    Is The Quran Superior?

    So, Jesus is the Father? Then who did Jesus pray to? Himself? Who did Jesus worship? Himself? Are you taking this out of context, maybe? John 17:20-22… “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Yes, i understand your point here. It would have been nice if Jehovah had the writer add, “A demon pretending to be Samuel’s spirit said:”!! That would have helped! But, we know “the dead know nothing.” When he dies, man’s “spirit goes out; he returns to the ground. In that day his thoughts /...

    You threw me here, but then you followed with… Yes. All translations (and copies) of the Scriptures are “uninspired”. Though the truth in it can still be found, with Jehovah’s help. And the organization He uses. He’s always had an organization to guide His people: from ancient Israel to today.

    ‘What I did’, was make a mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. I corrected it. Again, I stress: the Bible’s O.M. (Original Manuscripts) had no errors. Translations, however, are full of them. Jehovah’s people “speak in agreement”, as Paul stated they would. — 1 Corinthians 1:10

    Is The Quran Superior?

    Well, that can’t be… “No one has seen God at any time.” — John 1:18. Either the Bible contradicts itself, or many misinterpret what it’s saying.

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    When you said, “would he see fit to do so”, did you mean ‘would Jehovah “see fit” to allow His Word to be tampered with’? Yes, up to a point. (Look at His Name - the Tetragrammaton - being removed.) But by praying to Him & through serious study, the truth within its pages can be found. Hugh -...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    The Bible was quoting Satan. It was his words to Eve. The Bible (well, Moses was given the information) was just recording / documenting the conversation. That in no way makes the Bible wrong …. anymore than it makes me wrong if someone told me they saw George Washington walking down the street...

    Hey “I Am Hugh”. Spurious? No i don’t believe that. Utilizing figurative speech at times, yes. Do we need help with interpretation? (Luke 10:21) Definitely! Lets take your examples….. No, the snake wasn’t talking. Being manipulated, yes. Like being a ventriloquist’s puppet. (The Devil is...
