I have refuted your theology in #111. Yours is a false theology that is not supported by Scripture. You have glossed over Scripture to get to the invented theology of your theological system.
It was C S Lewis who stated:
I have refuted your theology in #111. Yours is a false theology that is not supported by Scripture.
GINOLJC. first thanks for the response. second, you refuted nothing but your ignorance of the scriptures. let's see if what I said is false...... ok.
scripture, Philippians 2:6 states, "Who, being in the form of God". question, what is the "form" of God? answer, Spirit which is his NATURE, (John 4:24a). and the Lord Jesus have that NATURE which is described in the Greek word here "FORM". are you following so far. knowing that God is a Spirit, and Philippians 2:6 here states the Lord Jesus have the same NATURE, (being equal with), so the question, "having the same NATURE and is "EQUAL" with God, what kind of NATURE do the Lord Jesus have? fair enough question right. let's see what nature that the Lord Jesus have with God whom you call the Father. the answer is in the Greek word Form/Nature here in Philippians 2:6 which is G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') n.
1. form.
2. (intrinsically) fundamental nature.
3. from the base of G3313
KJV: form
examine this word, and notice #3, from the base of G3313. let's see what G3313 means to understand G3444 μορφή morphe. it is G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n.
1.
a portion (i.e. an amount allotted, a part of something).
2.
a share or Division.
3. a piece (i.e. a limited portion).
KJV: behalf, course, coast, craft, particular (+ -ly), part (+ -ly), piece, portion, respect, side, some sort(-what)
if you would Oz, notice definition #1 & #2 above. do you know what a
portion is?. another word for potion is the "SHARE", as in definition #2. understand Oz, the Lord Jesus is the EQUAL "SHARE" of God in flesh. can I back this up in another scripture, YES, Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". the word God here is H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym which means a plurality of oneself. in the Hebrew it's
identified as,
H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj.
1. (properly) united, i.e.
one.
2. (as an ordinal)
first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly,
each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
AND the Hebrew word,
H312 אַחֵר 'acher (ach-air') adj.
1. (properly)
hinder.
2. (generally) next, other, etc.
[from H309]
KJV: (
an-)other man, following, next, strange.
Oz, examine these two words carefully. note in H259 אֶחָד 'echad definition #2 it means "FIRST" and in H312 אַחֵר 'acher definition #1 hinder or "LAST". so the two hebrew words that describe God/ H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym as FIRST and LAST. question time Qz, who is the FIRST and the LAST? read Isaiah 41:4, Isaiah 44:6, Isaiah 48:12, and Revelation 1:17 & 18 and tell us who the FIRST and the LAST is.
and once you do that, we will examine Genesis 1:1 again and John 1:1 and Revelation 1:1 again and get the meaning of FIRST and LAST, or as the Greek say Alpha and Omega, or the hebrews Aleph and the Tav........ (smile)
