    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    .... What's your point?

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    I thought you were being obstinate, however, it appears you truly don't understand. You said, "you have no Idea what anthropomorphism is do you, it's not a "figure of speech"... lol, no, anthropomorphism is the attribution of human form or behavior given to a deity to understand its actions...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    The Scriptures explicitly make a distinction between who was raised and who did the raising. Name may be singular but that has nothing to do with who raised Christ from the dead.

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    You do understand figures of speech, correct? You're conflating two ideas here. You quote Isaiah 53 which is a figure of speech referring to Christ doing God's work and then you argue that Christ is actually, literally, an appendage of God. Jesus Christ is a man. He is not an arm. My arm is not...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    No, He didn't. I posted Romans 8:11 in the last post. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Rom. 8:11 ASV)

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    It has everything to do with it. When you throw out reason all you have is fantasy. God called the Israelites to reason with Him. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    You really should check other translations before camping on a point. The Greek text says, from God and Father. He is our God and Father. In John 17 Jesus used the conjunction Kai. That indicates two separate beings. By saying that the Father is the only true God, He is excluding Himself. Thus...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    Yes, His arm is. However, His arm is not His Son.

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    It's funny that you demand answers yet refuse to address the logical fallacies in you arguments. No, Jesus is not the only one with eternal life. As I posted several times now, the only one who has immortality has not and cannot be seen. Jesus has been seen therefore the passage in not talking...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    Yes, an arm is the same as the one. However, the Son is not the same as the one. My arm is a part of me, my child is not a part of me. The child is a separate being

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    Of course, I posted it. Read it carefully, the one who only has immortality is the one whom no man has seen nor can see. Again, people have seen Jesus, so He's obviously not the one who only has immortality. The only is the only Potentate is the Father. Again, in this passage Paul makes a...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    Yes, you've stated it. And, I've proven it wrong. This passage doesn't prove your claim. If Jesus is the one in Isaiah 63:5, it doesn't prove that He is the Father. It's interesting how you've ignored the logic and simply restated what you already said. Please explain how Paul can say, 'to us...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    Nothing is confusing me. It's illogical and anti Biblical. I've already shown from Scripture and logic that what you are claiming isn't possible. God alone has immortality. If He died, no one could raise Him from the dead. He alone gives life. John and Paul both tell us that no one has see God...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    I've already explained that passage. We're told that Jesus is the express image of the Father. He does the will of the Father. Thus He is the exact representation of the Father. No, Paul did not see the Father. It was Paul himself who tells us no man has seen nor can see the Father. Again...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    Ok, you're arguments aren't even making sense anymore. Again, if God died there would be no one to raise Him if they were the same being. You are simply ignoring logic and reason in an attempt to hold to an untenable position. When a position is no longer logical, it is irrational. You're...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    Actually, there is. You see, that translation is incorrect. The word they translated power isn't power. It's authority. What Jesus said was He had authority to lay it down and take it again. He didn't say He had the power to do it. The Greek word is exousia. It means authority. The Greek word...

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    So how do you reconcile that? There has to be a logical answer. We can't just make illogical claims. If what we believe doesn't fit with the Scriptures then what we believe is incorrect.

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    How do you have God the Father and God the Son and only have one God?
  19. Getitright

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    If Jesus was "the God" and emptied Himself, who raised Him from the dead? You have problem here. God is eternal. One who is eternal cannot die. IF God died, all life would die. Everything that lives, lives because God continuously gives it life. IF God died, there would be no one to raise Him.

    One of the biggest mistakes. -John 1:1

    The problem you face is that John and Paul both wrote in the New Testament and both said that no man has seen God. This is long after people saw Jesus. There is no way around this. it's the only logical conclusion. You'd do well to forgo you line of thought and reconsider some things. You've...
