B. John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): The next step in finding John’s intended meaning of John 1:1c is to look up the meanings of theos in a good NT lexicon. Numerous Trinitarian scholars [see footnote] admit that this word was also used for angels, kings, and God-appointed men such as judges in...

The following seven posts are an example of why I like to discuss with a person without disruptive comments from others. Most readers will refuse to even completely read just one lesson, and they will start right in with off-subject matter or their own hypothetical treatment of John 1:1c...

I would like to continue, but since it appears that you are the source on your side of the debate, and I insist on Scripture alone, we cannot continue. At least we exchanged ideas concerning 'worship' (shachah and proskuneo) and when the Father became the Father. That's something. Thank you...

I'm sorry we can't seem to exchange information, Scott. I think the problem is that you have your own hypothesis about God and/or the 'truth' revealed to you by others but not by scripture. You seem to rely on your hypothesis and 'explain' it in confusing language. The reason I wanted to keep...

Goof Grief, Scott! Occam would go babbling into the wilderness with such complex verbiage. ...full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. Since this one is nearly incoherent, perhaps you could provide another proof of someone other than the Father (who is clearly called God scores of times)...

Body Of Christ - The Definition The Body of Christ is a common, yet complex term used in the Christian faith. Some may initially think we are talking about the physical body of Christ, as in His human form on earth. But the term "Body of Christ" actually refers to the members of His church...

I guess you don't believe Occam's Razor. Since I don't believe scripture shows 2. above, I guess your turn now is to give a scripture which shows God has members (persons).

My 'extra' scriptures were all about one thing which you brought up. Was I not supposed to reply to it? ScottA: "You see, until Jesus referred to God as Father, God was simply God. In other words, what establishes God as Father, is the fact that He has a begotten Son." God was known as Father...

Do you not see that this (and about 20 others) are what Hastings' A Dictionary of the Bible is saying. I guess it's a start to pick one verse out of so many listed and complain about it. You have a lot more left that Hastings listed. And you are ignoring the main point altogether. And that...

The nature of God himself is spirit - Today's Dictionary of the Bible, p. 593. Even famed trinity-defender Dr. Walter Martin tells us, "God's nature has always been declared to be that of pure spirit....(John 4:24 - Greek)." - KOTC, p. 202. Also see p. 427, New Bible Dictionary (2nd ed.)...

"b) declaring victory when our truth is rejected c) walking away feeling misunderstood, superior, and confirming our own feelings of persecution by a fallen world. This senario [sic] is a boring waste of time so if it goes likes that, i am just not interested in continuing." Hey, if you want to...

God is Father of everything including his firstborn, only-begotten Son. Israel was aware of YHWH being their Father. Is. 64:8 (or :7); John 8:41. Jesus had declared the Father many times before John 17:3 - John 5:36, 37, for example. How is it that Jesus calling the Father 'the only true God'...

Well, see, you have started off being rude. I never said anything about this being one on one, and in fact if you read my last post carefully, you will see that I wanted to try it right here. However, given your attitude and your unwillingness to stick to a subject ("there is no category"), I...

Okay let's discuss John 1:1c right here, if you're willing to be serious (and polite). We'll see how it goes regarding disruptions and off-subject posts.

Well, it's people like you who disrupt a discussion that is very important to me that I am trying to avoid . If that won't work, and it appears that you may intend to see that it doesn't work here, I will try to go somewhere that has one-to-one discussions.

I guess that deserves an answer. If "always seeking one on one argument" means I have now done it twice, I guess you're correct. In the past when I find someone who is honestly willing to discuss with me, the discussion invariably gets choked with others chiming in with nonsense or off-subject...

Scott has asked me to start off with my first scripture we will discuss. I believe the Most High God of the Bible is a single 'person' (YHWH, the Father alone.) I am also asking that when using a quote from the OT, please use a Bible which uses one of the accepted transliterations of God's...

I'll go ahead and set it up here. If you would prefer the head-to-head discussion instead, let me know.

So would you like me to set up our discussion on this forum or set up a head-to-head debate here: https://debatingchristianity.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=40
