I have about 20 pages in my personal study about John 20:28. How much would you read?

1 Samuel 25:23: "When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey, and fell on her face before David and bowed herself to the ground." - NASB. 2 Samuel 1:2. "... and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. - ASV. Clear declarations for...

No one taught me this, nor have I seen it anywhere else. Calling me a liar does not avoid the fact that all my personal research for this, which took me a number of years, is available in the links I have given you. Even the first 5 'Lessons,' when carefully examined, show the truth of the...

I don't mind people joining in when they stick to the subject and ask questions when they don't understand. And I hate personal attacks, red herrings, etc.

I have a blog with 80% of my research on it, but I can reach out to even more people in discussion groups like this.

As Aspen wrote on another thread: "Typical response. Let anyone one else do the research and then, dismiss it with an opinion" Anyone who complains about the results of another's honest, reproducible study (mostly NT Greek as used by John) and refuses to examine it lacks wisdom. - Hypoxia 7:3.:)

Wow! That's something I almost never hear. Thank you very much.

GG: Ps. 110:1 more honestly says: "Jehovah [YHWH] saith unto my Lord [ADN or kurios in OT Greek], Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool." - ASV. Unfortunately, early 'Christians' removed God's only personal name (YHWH) from all their writings (probably shortly...

The NT Greek word for 'messengers' is the same as for heavenly messengers - aggelous (angels). See Luke 9:52 and 1 Cor. 6:3 in an interlinear.

I've been throwing it out for discussion for years now, So far no miracles. In fact, I don't believe anyone has even read it all. Maybe If I post the 50+ page original I completed 30+ years ago ....

GG: "As to John 17:3 you'll get the standard reply which @aspen has given you. When the 2nd person of the Trinity was incarnated as the person Jesus, He did lower Himself, even though He retained many aspects of God - or attributes. He was human 100%. He was God 100%. "Since JESUS' Father was...

Aspen wrote (#25): "The Mormons were on time and eager to share the gospel of Jesus with us and tell us about God’s plan for giving us bodies. I was eager to speak about commonalities, but was often lead in to crazy topics like a historically inaccurate Great Apostacy and weird ideas about...

The meaning of one's name, especially in this time period, often did not refer to the one who bore that name. This is especially true of a multi-word name which included 'God' (el) or YHWH (Yeho-, Jehu-, -yah, -jah) These were often praises to Jehovah. For example, 'Elijah' meant "God...

G. John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): The Word (ho Logos) A few trinitarians actually attempt to “prove” that John 1:1c should be translated as “and the Word [Logos] was God” rather than “and the Word [Logos] was a god” by appealing to one of the strictly pagan concepts of “The Logos”! But, as...

F. John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): Origen, the great Christian scholar (185 - 254 A.D.), spoke Koine Greek as his native language and knew it so well that he even taught it professionally. He was “probably the most accomplished Biblical scholar produced by the early Church” (Universal Standard...

E. John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): The above posts show that word order (predicate noun before the verb as found in the NT Greek of John 1:1c) does not change the meaning to an understood article (“the”) as Colwell’s Rule suggests or some nebulous ‘qualitative’ meaning as some other trinitarian...

D. John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): It’s been many years since I looked up all the clauses in John’s writing which had predicate nouns (also called predicate nominatives). Then I made a list of all of them which are parallel to John 1:1c (predicate noun coming before the verb). I didn’t have a...

C. John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): But, you may ask, Isn’t there a significance to the reversed word order in the Greek (‘god was the word’) which is, in English, ‘the word was god.’? If you will examine a good NT interlinear, you will find that word order is basically meaningless. NT Greek...
