@"ByGrace"
Still Helen, no one has explained why @gadar perets is in error in light of the verse I cited above.
@gadar perets whom I've known a long time and have much respect for, does not believe Jesus is God but the Son of God. He respects Jesus as the Messiah and Annointed one sent by God Father, but believe only God Father is to be worshipped.
If he's right, we're all in trouble because we're worshipping a man.
However, Christian theologians from the beginning have declared Jesus to be God, but he disputes this too and I don't have the tools to check this out since I'd need the writings of the ECF in the original Greek.
The only thing I do want to say, and which he knows I believe, is that to be called a Christian means that we believe Jesus is God. He does not call himself a Christian so there is no conflict there.
But why do WE have to keep proving to him that Jesus is God? I take it for granted after much reading and thinking about this...it seems to me it has to be this way.
Seems like the pharisees and saducees believed Him to be God too...
Maybe the debate is good.
Steel sharpens steels, or whatever they say.
As to No Other Man Born Of Woman...maybe Jesus just meant no other human being ever born....men have been born of woman from the beginning..so it includes all men.
Just my opinion.
