    John Chapter 20 - context and purpose - emphasis on Thomas' words and John's purpose

    The central theme of John 20 is the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah and its transformative power. This chapter opens with Mary Magdalene discovering the empty tomb early on the first day of the week, marking the dawn of a new era. The resurrection is not merely a historical event but a...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    This is the real concern of all sincere and truthful people, to be aware of, in this type of psychology performed on these types of forum settings. If and when a person has key differing views expect this psychological effect at times. This is what has happened to this thread like many others...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    Well, back to a major thrust of the OP and thread, or should I open at least dozen more threads to entertain all the other paths opened up by others? I expect no coherent Bible Study is possible as its' obvious many cannot help themselves but pile on a heavy weight of scripture for ME to respond...

    I'm truly glad I do not drink the Kool aide, and it judgement is surely not too far behind, as with the first parents.

    As John Bunyan writes The Pilgrim’s Progress, "Then I saw that there was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven, as well as from the City of Destruction." I would reflect on these words if I were you - and heed its warning. Less pride and more humility would serve you well.

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    Not all is possible with God depending on the subject! This may come as a shock to you and many people. There is one inner-personal area that God cannot do or perform and it's discussed in scripture, and many breeze by it. And one of them is to become a man, to become one of his creatures or...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    I have to raise a very large flag here....:God becoming one of his creatures".... is not at all what God can do or does I'm afraid. God is one eternal being, distinct from creation, and that his Yeshua the Messiah, while exalted by God, remains a created human being—born of Mary through the...

    Yes, indeed.. (1Jn 1:5) And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you: That God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. That the Father is the source of light and life, and Yeshua is the divine instrument through whom the Father reveals Himself to humanity....

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    Yes, although... I must reiterate that Yeshua is and will always be the visible and metaphorical representation (word) of God, but never God himself. As such, he is 'always' the morphe of his Father, both on earth and now in heaven. The key distinction today is that the Son not only embodies...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    JM, out of pure curiosity, were you always a monotheistic, or did you become one ? ------------- I was always a one God believer, even before I first read some scripture from any Bible, as I look about at the night sky, all of God's creation as a young boy, and did not know that the word...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    Here is an example of one of those so-called ridiculous ('I AM' expressions => YHWH => Yeshua) that you can remove from your list. In John 8:12-30 – the light of the world who is also the son of man (John 8:12) Jesus spoke again to the crowd, saying: I am the light of the world. Whoever...

    PD, I've yet to see your work on this subject on Yeshua's pre-existence. Just listing verses that seemingly support your cause is no support I'm afraid. You have to add a few more meaningful sentences to each scripture that corresponds to your thinking of them. For example, do you know what an...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    Then 1CL, only a very few children did actually figure it out, as only a very few adults. Most unfortunately are ignorant of this verse. Well here's a response to your latest question. John 1:14 — "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" — it is profound affirmation of Yeshua as the...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    For starters, Yeshua's form or morphe, the Son of God, and until he became Messiah, not of his God, or his Father, visibly reflected his God’s authority, character, and purpose. And only possible because of Yeshua's deep humility, servanthood and obedience in love of his Father, to do his will...
