And that's where your argument breaks down; calling a fool someone that God calls his child. And coming from someone who apparently doesn't know that a son can in nowise be his own father. Now there's some real interesting linguistics!

So you're using the scriptures and the normal usage of simple words to prove a point while ignoring tradition? What a concept! And, wow, it works! We can actually allow Jesus to be the son of God instead of God Himself if we do that. Yeah, but no point in using our God given brains and logic...

I have looked at John many times and I can't get past the stated reason for him having written his Gospel. John 20:31, But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. It's the very Christ that God...

Yeah, but he still can't explain a son being his own Father.

So there are no characters in the Bible that have one of God's title in it, namely el, as in Emmanuel? Maybe I just misunderstood, because I think the following you already know: Let's see, there's Samuel, Ezekiel, Daniel, Elijah, Elam, Elihu, Eliezar... I could go on for a long time listing...

Rom 2:4, Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? God does not lead anyone to repentance by focusing on their sin. It's His goodness that draws people to Him. That's simple enough to...

I get it! I thought I was missing something. And yes to what kids should be thinking about. Thanks.

First of all, I condemn nobody, regardless of their choices. Before accepting Jesus, we are all dead in trespasses and sins. There are no degrees of death. One person, because of their particular sin, is no more or less dead than the next dead guy. There is no good thing in anybody's flesh, be...

Not sure what you mean. Did I say something that should cause you to scream and run to another adult? If so,what?

While you may think that being one with someone else makes the two persons actually one, scripture indicates otherwise. 1 Corinthians 8:6 says not that the One God is ONLY the Father; otherwise, the Apostle Paul would be contradicting the Apostle John, the Apostle Thomas, the Apostle Peter, and...

Very interesting. Never saw that before. Of course one must accept the actual meaning of "spirit" (Hebrew rauch) as an invisible force for that to make sense.

Well, we sure have a great redeemer. Thank God for that brother!

All good verses for sure, but none are as clear as the 6 verses I quoted that said in no uncertain terms called Jesus a man. If you recall, I also pointed out there are no such clear verses calling him God. As far as John 1 is concerned, It's just assumed that 1:1-3 is talking about Jesus. It...

Caesar's image was on the coin the Pharisees showed Jesus. The coin was not actually Caesar. In normal language, an image of something is just that, the image. It's not the thing. What is it about being the firstborn that makes someone not having been born at all? Jesus was born. Jesus clearly...

What? How did you get from here to there? Here's what I actually said: "You don't need to be a scholar to learn that 1 John 5:7 is a forgery. Look at the old texts for yourself. You won't find it except for one or two texts written in the 15th century. The only reason it exists in those texts...

I think a huge mistake is thinking that God is "in control." It might sound good and reverent, but it's not scriptural and should therefore be forgotten. God was in control until Genesis 1:26, but things changed at that point. Gen 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our...

It's not up to me. I'm just floating along here and waiting to see if God chose me or not. I don't really believe that one bit, but if I did believe election, why have any other attitude?

Try to think back in your life. Remember the very first time you heard about Jesus. Did someone simply say to you, "Jesus died for your sins. That' all you need to know about it." Would you believe that? If that's all you ever heard about Jesus, you wouldn't have had enough information point...

Isa 1:18, Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Reason: H3198 יָכחַ yakach (yaw-kach') v. 1. to be right (i.e. correct). yakach is used 55 times. It's a...

I know it's along thread here, but if you recall, the OP is about a triune god. I had to look back myself. :)
