I would highly suggest the oldest Webster's dictionary you could find in print. I cherish my 1860 and 1952 editions. Words meant more before the internet. Definitions provided online are insufficient and in some cases misleading or outright inaccurate. Particularly with many of the most...

What is your goal in purchasing a new Bible? If the Message is too loose for your preferences, ESV tends to be more literal while still blending in enough thought-for-thought translation to suit most readers. I like getting as close to source material as I am able and tend to structure my own...

I was just having fun because I enjoy rephrasing things. God did it quite frequently through the Prophets and Psalmists; express the same idea through different words and phrases. But a scoffer says, "cliche! I already know it!"

Perhaps 'accounting for the existence of Jesus, which implies the truth of Him being who He says' is another way to say it? In both cases I would consider it valid and applicable in every conversation; even to every thought, as Paul suggested. Cliche is just a word people use to dismiss...

I can't even fix the stupid quote in my embarassment. You are correct @keithr, I mistook you for a trinitarian hellfire preacher. I have been on the forums too long and among too many postings and I have thus diminished the veracity of my own testimony. You have my sincerest apologies. I...

If justified/saved, then law kept by nature.

You are not a trinitarian? You know that hell is a lie? By how you use your words. I have only written plainly against lies. Do you understand what vitriol is? Do you comprehend the foundations of your beliefs? I contend that you do not or you could argue logically in support of what you...

The second portion explains your confusion regarding the first expression. You do not understand the ideas of descendance and authority and leadership as they spring from the Spirit. That's why you don't even use the right Name.

The root of the term "Jew" is said to be for Judah, but as applied when the term was coined it was actually a regional designation, like Texan or Alaskan. The word often translated "generations" would be more accurately translated as "heritage" or "descendants." The vast majority of Israel was...

Angel? In essence, but not in the understanding as you convey it, because no, it is not a conscious being, a willful entity, or any form of action capable force. These exist, but again, not as you understand them. You are anthropomorphizing metaphors for various perspectives, concepts, and...

Not enough and absolutely.

And if it aid any of you, I bid you invoke your AI to assist your understanding of my posts as well as the construction of your retorts for your own positions. You cannot contend against truth on the same foundation, because there is only One.

You promote irrationality from the foundation, that the Almighty may be rent into three. You pursue vain imaginations of a god whose wrath lasts forever, and then fear your own construct. You do not know the higher meanings of the words you use because you have not sought God directly, for who...

Absolutely.

If someone speaks a lie to you and you believe it, that lie becomes a truth to you. So long as you believe the lie, actual truth will offend you for how it affects what you believe. That's why we have reference books and lexicons. We need to actually read them. A real dictionary is as much a...

You believe there is more than one Spirit, which is what I sought to oppose by my post. Your attempt to concur with what I posted does not reflect accurate understanding of what I said.

I was raised JudeoChristian and pursued God in earnest for 37 years. I was confused and nonsensical just 10 years ago, physically and mentally broken. It wasn't until I cursed the hateful triune god that I met the REAL God, and I only truly met Him less than a year ago now. Today I am a lion...

I'm not guessing, you express irrationality as clearly as you are able. You say that twice though you fundamentally disagree with the truth of the words you claim agreement with by the doctrines you spread! Your yahweh is a subdeity of the god el, the ancient canaanite deity. Your god was a...

Ezekiel put words to an angel. We see in Scripture how a variety of terms have been coopted by disobedience for the assembly of mystery doctrines and vengful theology to fabricate a concoction of sub deities (angels, demons, satan, a trichotomized god, etc). It is the reader who imposes...

@Aunty Jane , @One 2 question , If I may interject, I agree with you both. AJ, I agree that the True Faith is unifying, in that it is singular as the Father is one, as it unifies the Father with the Son and with all who believe. O2Q, I agree that we may place no limit on what God can do...
