That actually proves my point even more. You’re now saying that Dr. Witherington believes the same doctrine I was defending, yet you posted a quote from him that made it sound like he didn’t. That’s exactly why this confusion happened in the first place. You misrepresented what he meant by...

Let’s be clear, it’s not me who owes Dr. Witherington an apology, it’s you. You’re the one who posted the quote, “Jesus wasn’t, and isn’t, Yahweh,” without any explanation or context. That statement, on its own, sounds like a denial of Christ’s divinity. I responded to what you chose to put out...

You’re right that mistakes happen, and I agree that how we respond to them matters. But let’s be honest about where the mistake actually came from. You were the one who posted the quote, “Jesus wasn’t, and isn’t, Yahweh”, without any context or clarification. That’s a serious statement, and...

The quote you posted, “Jesus wasn’t, and isn’t, Yahweh”, was the only thing I had to go on. You didn’t provide any context or explanation when you shared it. As written, that statement directly contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture concerning the full deity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, John...

I understand your concern, and I appreciate your acknowledgment of my sincerity. However, I want to be clear that my response was based solely on the quote that you shared: “Jesus wasn’t, and isn’t, Yahweh.” That was the only statement I had to go on, and as it was presented, it directly...

Just to clarify, the only statement I responded to was the one you posted: “As Dr. Witherington pointed out (see post #24), ‘Jesus wasn’t, and isn’t, Yahweh.’” That was not my quote, nor did I misrepresent it. I responded directly to what was presented. I don’t personally know Dr. Witherington...

Once again the so-called “Jewish law of agency” is not found in Scripture, nor is it taught as divine revelation. It is a man-made interpretive framework developed through rabbinic tradition to explain how a representative can act on behalf of another. While it may serve as a cultural or legal...

John 17:22 must be understood in the context of the entire Gospel of John, which consistently reveals the divine nature of Jesus Christ. Throughout this chapter, Jesus is praying to the Father, but that does not deny His divinity. Instead, it reflects the relationship between the Father and the...

The truth doesn’t come from man-made traditions or legal interpretations like the so-called "Jewish law of agency"—it comes from Scripture alone. God's Word is the final authority, and we are commanded not to add to it or take away from it (Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:6). While the concept of...

Readers of the true Word of God are not missing anything by rejecting the false idea that Moses is, in any sense, Yahweh. In fact, holding to what Scripture actually says protects against deception. Moses is consistently presented in the Bible as a servant, prophet, and mediator between God and...

In Deuteronomy 29:6, when Moses says, “in order that you might know that I am Yahweh your God,” he is not claiming to be Yahweh Himself. This is a misunderstanding of the speaker’s role. Moses is acting as God's mouthpiece, delivering God's words directly to the people. This is a common pattern...

God is all-knowing (Isaiah 46:9–10), declaring the end from the beginning, and nothing catches Him off guard. He is not like man, subject to new information or unexpected outcomes. As for the comment that God “enjoys” surprise, Scripture never describes God experiencing surprise or being caught...

The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is fully God and fully man, not merely a prophet or created being. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 makes it clear that the Word became flesh, Jesus. Thomas called Him, “My Lord and my...

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way. - A. W. Tozer

That statement is completely backward. God does not judge based on what we accept as truth, He judges based on what He declares to be true. Truth is not relative, and it’s not determined by personal belief, opinion, or organizational doctrine. God’s Word is truth (John 17:17), and He has already...

I believe you're right to see that the fall of man brought more than just physical death and suffering, it brought spiritual blindness and confusion. Scripture confirms this. In Romans 1:21–22, it says, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but...

God is never surprised by anything. He is all-knowing, omniscient, which means He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:9–10). Nothing catches Him off guard, including our faith. Hebrews 4:13 says, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked...

What you're saying sounds like the beginning of a common misunderstanding that people use to deny the full deity of Jesus Christ. But the Bible is clear: while Jesus did not speak on His own accord in the sense of acting independently from the Father, that does not mean He is less than God. In...

You did not answer my question to you: Are you a Jehovah’s Witness? The deity of Christ is in the Bible, but not in the version you use, which has been deliberately altered by men to fit their false doctrine. Your translation removes or distorts key verses that clearly declare who Jesus is...

The sealing of the Holy Spirit, as described in Ephesians 1:13-14 and Ephesians 4:30, is indeed a mark of ownership and security for those who are truly born again. But let’s be clear, this sealing is not a license to continue in sin. The idea that someone can genuinely be born of God and yet...
