Nonsense. Bowing the knee in obeisance is not worship…it is an act of respect.…something common in Bible times. It’s what Abraham did to the sons of Heth and what the magi did to the child, Jesus. It’s what the angels also rendered to the son of God because they recognize his superior rank...

There were to be no other gods but Yahweh….now there are three. It is putting a different god in the place of the Father. There are no other gods but Yahweh and to worship one who is not “Yahweh” is a breach of the first Commandment. (Exodus 20:3) The Jews worshipped one God (Deut 6:4) but the...

There is a difference as the Greek meaning of the word points out. If God himself can call human judges who represented him “gods” (theos) and use the same word and meaning for Jesus as the Christ (anointed one)….we have to ask….”who anointed Jesus to become “the Christ”? What was he before...

The word used for both Yahweh and his son is “theos” and Strongs primary definition of this word (what it actually means in Greek) is… “a god or goddess, a general name of deities or divinities” It can also mean…. “spoken of the only and true God refers to the things of God his counsels...

I am not a T believer but I take issue with your assumption that 1 Tim 3:16 says that “God was manifest in the flesh”….it doesn’t say that at all. NASB…. “By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels...

@St. SteVen You know it wasn’t only because they disbelieved, but because they were intent on finding fault with a man who was making the Jewish leadership look bad, exposing their misinterpretation of Scripture and their hypocrisy and self centeredness. A charge of blasphemy would serve their...

Jesus’ response to the Jews is mistranslated to infer something he never said. Jesus never once claimed to be anything other than “the son of God”…. The Jewish leaders wanted him dead, and pinning a charge of blasphemy on him would gain the people’s support, and this is what led Pilate to...

God does not have more than one view or more than one truth….and it is plainly outlined in Scripture…..just not the corrupted view of a thousands of opinions about what it teaches….Christendom in its hopelessly divided state, is the “weeds” of Jesus’ parable. The spirit unites….it does not...

But you do understand what blasphemy was to a Jew? If Jesus had claimed to be God, that was blasphemy because Jews knew he could not be God. They never said he was calling himself Yahweh. But making himself out to be the son of God in a very different sense to who they were as “sons of Abraham”...

Those who have been persuaded to adopt the lie as truth, do not want to see anything other than what they have been led to believe….when was this belief adopted? It was certainly not believed by God’s ancient people. (Deut 6:4) if this foundational doctrine is a lie, what else have they lied...

I was raised with your beliefs J….I consider all the teachings of “the early church” (the one formed by corrupt men, after the death of Jesus and his apostles, to be what they foretold to become “apostate”) these are “heretical and cultic”. The heretics call the truth heresy because it has been...

The Jews would have said the same thing about what Jesus taught…..stifling free speech is what the devil does. In a debate or Bible Study forum we should be able to speak the truth as we understand it without getting all het up about it. Talk it through Scripturally. If we disagree, then we...

If you read Jesus words in John 10:31-36, in Greek, you will see exactly what he said….. In English it reads…… ”The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” 33 The Jews answered Him...

No he won’t violate our free will…..unless he has appointed one as a prophet, in which case the prophet must do as his God instructs. He is acting as God’s representative in giving his warning message to the people. The prophets were sent to Israel to tell them of God’s displeasure when they...

This was a Jewish myth, not a teaching that came from their Scripture….we have to remember the state of Judaism when Jesus walked the earth. He castigated the religious leaders at every opportunity for feeding the people what was their own traditions substituted for Scripture. (Matt 23; Matt...

As @Debp has said, scammers are the reason why there is so many hoops to jump through…..these low lifes make it hard for the genuine ones to get the help they need. I think it’s the same reason that there are so many speed humps in car parks because of the irresponsible idiots, but no one thinks...

This is true in my own case as well….my little KJV with its many pictures of the Bible characters and scenes was a gift from my grandmother when I was 10 years old…it holds great sentimental value, as I have had it for 65 years but am not attached to its renderings now that I have done my own...

Sad isn’t it, when you have worked and paid taxes all your life….they can demand that you pay them right now, but they can’t pay you back anything without a struggle. Do they care? The system is rigged always to benefit the wrong people….:nnna

It’s a very money driven system…..and greed just grows because humans are never satisfied with what they have…..this world tells us that we need more.…always more. Robbing Peter to pay Paul has become a common issue. Money doesn’t go far these days. I didn’t know you needed a lawyer to get...

What??? :Ohz Another setback….so sorry to hear that. Are there no other surgeons who can step in and take over his patients? I guess the waiting list is long for all of them…..:( It is here too. I have to wait a whole year for cataract surgery. I could get it done next week if I had the funds...
