The NWT explains the exact reason as to the insertion of the name of God into the NT for reasons that doesn't change the meaning of the texts whatsoever, one of the main reasons for the insertion of the name is where the NT is borrowing quotes of the OT.
And? This is a later letter confirming...
LOOL. You obviously know next to nothing about about this matter. In the scholarly community it is widely recognized that "the word was a god" is a grammatically correct rendering, just not widely accepted. I could demonstrate how using the original languages and also provide scholar comments...
Its not my issue if you fail to see the archaeological evidence provided. As is cleary shown again, the archaeological finds along with the scriptural reference are listed below. If you this isn't archaeological evidence can you explain to me why it is not archaeological evidence, again, just...
This is what seperates me from you. You make a whole bunch of claims with nothing to support your claims apart from your repeated credentials and obscene language.
Stop telling me that I'm wrong, prove it! Let me quote Hitchens, 'That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed...
Lets see what modern day scholars say about the NWT and its accuracy then, here are just some of many;
ALLEN WIKGREN: (Allen Wikgren was on the New Revised Standard Version committee, as well as on the committee which produced the UBS Greek text). "Independent readings of merit often occur in...
There are many historians ranging from the 1 and 2 C.E and manuscripts (letters) of people who vadaliadate the Gospels and name the authors of them. Yes, no gospel directly state the author, this though doesn't prove the traditionally thought authors aren't the authors. As of yet you've provided...
God is a spirit, he has no gender. The Bible’s use of the designation “Father” helps us to understand that God can be compared to that of a loving and protective father. It makes further sense that he's referred to as a "he" as his attributes are more like Mans than women. Man naturally...
The burden of proof is on you my friend. You cannot claim that the Gospels are made and then expect for me to try prove to you the opposite when you haven't even explained the reason for such a claim in the first place.
In my studies I have learnt trust the Gospels for four reasons, at...
For someone who's been been to seminary you seem to lack basic knowledge in the regards to God justice. God has perfect justice, he could simply say "all sin is forgiven" but that, by his standards, isn't perfect justice.
God’s perfect justice requires like for like, a ‘soul for a soul’, this is...
A person who makes the claim that they are correct and another incorrect simply based on credentials is foolish and has already lost before even starting. I wounder do you know my credentials, if mine were more advanced than yours would that make me any more correct in your opinion?
(1...
No, I make mistakes, even in my last reply to Brickjectivity I made a mistake. I've always had trouble understanding the bad debating tactic of "you always think you're right, therefore you must be wrong" as its completely circular, don't you think you're correct here in everything and I'm...
No, you're incorrect.
The gift of everlasting salvation is like entering into a free prize draw expect anyone can win. When you enter into a free prize draw they often have terms and conditions that you must abide to, if you deviate from the terms and condition then you do not get the free...
You make the same mistake as others on this thread. Remember Jesus hasn't always been flesh, scripture makes it clear he "became flesh" (John 1:14), He "emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human" (Phil 2:7), Jesus was a spirit prior to his coming to Earth. People often mistaken...
Lets see.
(Leviticus 16:27) “..And the bull of the sin offering and the goat of the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the holy place to make atonement, will be taken outside the camp, and their skins and their flesh and their dung will be burned in the fire.."
(John 1:29) The next day...
When you say "transubstantiation" I take it you mean the conversion of the bread and wine into the actual body of Jesus flesh and blood. This is never taught it scripture my friend, when Jesus talked about his body and bread in Matthew 26:26, and like accounts, he was talking about the bread and...
(Romans 6:23) "..For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.."
(Hebrews 5:9) "..And after he [Jesus] had been made perfect, he became responsible for everlasting salvation to all those obeying him.."
As you can see we are all sinners...
You keep shying away from my question, If Jesus was raised in a body of flesh then what did he sacrifice if he took back the body he sacrificed?
How am I trying to have it both ways?
People attempted to tempt Jesus but never was Jesus tempted or gave into temptation, this being said, show me...
It means exactly the same thing to us as it did to them, expect, instead of inadequate animals with have Jesus the lamb instead. Moving back to the topic of discussion, if a Israelite was to offer an animal as a sacrifice upon the alter back then, but before it was consumed took the sacrifice...
No offense taken friend.
If you think its incorrect to take scripture for what it states then I don't think you know what it means to be a christian. As I clearly mentioned before the sacrifice of animals and the pouring out of the blood in the nation of Israel actually took place, even during...
I believe it was the temple, I simply believe that the body that was to be raised up after three days was a spiritual as the scriptures state.
(1 Cor 15:45 NIV) “..So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam [Jesus], a life-giving spirit…
If Jesus can only be...
