No, Jesus is NOT Lord and God. He’s only ‘L/lord’, NOT God.
Thomas’ ‘My Lord and my God!’ is an exclamation of shock and disbelief to see his beloved rabbi (who the Jews refer to as ‘Lord’) standing in front of him unharmed and alive. There’s no reason to believe Thomas was calling Jesus his...
Self-praised is no praise, buddy!
Funny, you said you know more than me, yet you didn’t know the scripture preaches against self-praised.
“Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips” – Proverbs 27:2
I doubt you know the difference between...
You are NOT seeing clearly.
Let’s put that passage you posted again –
Revelation 1:8
Darby Translation
“8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty”.
Can you see ‘saith [the] Lord God’ in the passage??
Maybe if we place ‘saith...
Yes, God Almighty is not coming back because He NEVER left!
God Almighty is always with us just as He said in Rev. 1:8 – He is ETERNAL! Alpha and Omega, He is the Almighty as who He is now, as who He was in the past, and as who He will come/be in the future.
Jesus is the one who left, and he...
That’s God Almighty talking (‘saith the Lord God’), NOT Jesus Christ.
Here, God Almighty is saying He is the Alpha and the Omega, He who is (now), and who was (the past), and who is to come (the future).
In other words, God Almighty is saying – He will always be the Almighty in the present...

Yes , it is.
Again , JerryMyers does not decide that.
And… let me guess, Dimi95 decide that???! What a joker!!
Dimi95 said:
Hahaha
You have many translations because there are many variations in the manuscripts.
You can see that in the footnotes
Now why would there be many...
You know you will have a strong case IF you can show me where God Almighty said or implied that Jesus is God OR Jesus himself said or implied that he’s God.
I cannot understand why you find the words of John or the words of others more reliable than the Words of God Almighty and/or the words...
Dimi95 said:
Acrually it is.
It's the language of the original writings.
No, a language is NOT the criteria when it comes to ‘context’.
If it is, then all translations of the original language scripture to any other languages will render all passages in the translated scripture ‘out of...
Dimi95 said:
If context is taken into account , then the shortest way to explain how Jesus is God is by John 1:1 and John 1:14.
The word 'Logos' in 'Koine'(Koine means common language) - it does not mean 'Word' , but it means 'Principle of Reason'.
'Word' is just a 'weak' English version
Yes...

Lol, "convincing" readers is not part of my job or the job of anyone else here.
Now go ahead... let's see if you can convince us it is.
So you are not in this thread to convince the readers reading this thread, you are here trying hard to convince yourself that Jesus is God. OK, I...
Oeste said:
Yes, for instance, he did not say The Lord our God, the Lord is ONE Lord, and I am another, did he? So let's read a few verses again:
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. (Mark 12:29)
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our...
Oeste said:
Congratulations to you JerryMyers! I see you have finally reached an epiphany, and understand why I am under no compulsion to convince non-Christians that Jesus is God than you are to convince flat earther’s that the earth is round.
The fact is, the vast majority already know the...
That's correct.
The notion that kings are called gods reflects a historical intertwining of politics and religion, where rulers/kings were seen as divinely sanctioned.
Oeste said:
So which passages do you believe DO NOT CONTRADICT???
I've been asking you to post them for quite awhile now. Just because YOU think they contradict, does not mean anyone else thinks they contradict.
Also, as to what GOD ALMIGHT ALREADY DECLARED OF HIMSELF, He declared Jesus GOD...
Oeste said:
The minority of Christians who believe Jesus is not God does not verify Jesus is not God, it simply means a minority of Christians accept the belief Jesus is not God.
Congrats! You finally figured out the concept of ‘the majority and the minority’ of the Christian population!
So...

I think that ship has sailed Jerry Myers. 2.5 billion people, based in scripture despite your claims to the contrary. Maybe this is what will change everyone around?
The ship has never left the port, Oeste. How could it sail away when you cannot even support your Trinitarian...
Oeste said:
The actual, pertinent, discussion surrounding this topic did end long ago. As I pointed out, the vast majority of Christians believe Jesus is God, not that Jesus is not God.
The majority of Christians believe Jesus is God does not verify Jesus is God, it simply means the majority of...
