I would be happy to share ideas concerning 'Who is God." Remember, sharing ideas means both sides are thoroughly examined by each person. If you agree, I'll start a new discussion here where we can thoroughly examine this topic one (or two) verses at a time.

If those billion+ baptized Roman Catholics do not believe they are Christians, you might have a point - - but you don't. I can't see that many (if any) of them would say they were not Christian. There is no requirement that the 'many' must all be faithful. Nor do we expect all Baptists, etc...

The most populous (by far) of all the religions which claim to be Christian is the Roman Catholic Church. It is more than 10 times larger than any other Christian denomination. Its membership cannot be considered the 'few.' "The number of baptized Catholics grew 1 percent in a year to reach...

Matt. 7:13, 14, - "Enter ye in at the strait [narrow] gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [narrow] is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." - KJV...

Micah 5:2 - Part 2 As for the Hebrew word olam, it can also be understood as “ancient times” or “of old” and does not necessarily refer to “eternity.” Here is how it (olam) is used in the following scriptures in the NASB: of old (Gen 6:4) days of old (Deuteronomy 32:7) `From ancient times...

OP: Micah 5:2 - part 1 It's true that his human birth was not his creation. But a closer look at Micah 5:2 shows that his creation was much earlier than his human birth. Some trinitarians tell us Micah 5:2 (or 5:1 in some versions) teaches that Jesus has always existed (“from everlasting”...

Hi, truth. I hope you are about to explain what the Immaculate Conception is really supposed to mean. Others here seem to have no clue even though it is easy to look up.

I still don't see 'sons of God' in Job 1:3. The word ben H1121 is merely 'sons of.' In Job 1:3 it is used with 'East' ('sons of [the] East'). And at Genesis 6 'sons of' is used with 'God' ('sons of God').

No, I don't see "sons of God" in Job 1:3.

"#1. Angels are never sons." ...................................... Job 38:7 "sons of God" is often rendered as "angels" CEV - while morning stars sang, and angels rejoiced? ERV - when the morning stars sang together and the angels shouted with joy? GNT - In the dawn of that day the stars...

Angelina, Phil. 2:6 is given to us as an example of Christ's humility - Christian Standard Bible 3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. .... 5 adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus," and then Christ's example...

Thank you for your valuable on-point informative reply.

Any English translation of a verse or verses which are of essential importance should be analyzed by examining the Greek or Hebrew text. I have done so with most verses which are considered the best trinity 'proofs.'

Angelina, I don't believe any Bible translation today is totally accurate. Certainly paraphrase Bibles (and especially 'Amplified' Bibles) are most likely to distort the original meaning. I chose to quote a small part of Phil. 2 from this Bible because I thought it brought out what was...

Prolly.

You're welcome.

Re Msg #125. This is intended only as a helpful hint. There is no such word in English as "prolly." You probably mean "probably."

The problem with Phil. 2:6, 7 (part 3) Many trinitarians insist that this scripture proves that Jesus was (and is) “equal with God.” But all the real evidence proves just the opposite! Phil. 2:6 is, in reality, proof that Jesus has never been equally God with the Father! To begin with...

Hi, Scott. I'm giving you a link to my blog. It will take you to my study of John 10:30 ("One"). And if you have questions about my personal studies of other trinity 'proofs,' you will find them listed on the right-hand column of the blog page. There is also a verse and subject search...

Personal names in scripture which include more than one word most often have 'small' words added in translation. These include words such as 'is,' 'to,' 'of,' 'the,' etc. For example, Elijah means 'God Jah' (Jehovah). However most Hebrew scholars will add to it and render it in English 'God is...
