Actually, I can. But, even if I couldn't that doesn't prove He did exist. You're making an assumption.

That's funny. You saying some disagrees with the word of God. You disagree with Jesus Himself. He said to the Father that He was the only Ture God. You disagree with that.

I'm not sure what this has to do with what I posted. However, Stephen didn't go to Heaven. John, writing much later, said no man has ascended into Heaven except Jesus.

Nothing in that statement says Jesus existed in eternity past. It simply says He existed before Abraham. You're reading your beliefs into the passage. You can make stuff up if you want to, but the passage is clear. The Father is never subject to the Son and the Son will be subject to the...

He didn't say it, it's the conclusion of His statement. He is quoting the passage in Exodus. If by, Jesus is God, you mean He is deity, I agree. If you mean He is the one true God, then I disagree. He said the Father is the one true God.

You ignore His own words. He said that He came out of the Father. That means He had a beginning. "Firstborn," in Paul's context, is regarding preeminence, and not merely "born before anyone else" ~ the very same context in which David is made firstborn, though he was actually the last born in...

Well said!

You're missing the point. Jesus isn't claiming to have existed forever. He's alluding to the burning bush. Jesus didn't exist since eternity past. Paul said that Jesus was the first born of all creation. NAS Colossians 1:15 And He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all...

No, He doesn't mention Moses, but the title "I AM" is what the Angel said to Moses. In the passage the Angel or messenger of the Lord appears to Moses and God speaks through Him. The Angel of the Lord in this case is Jesus, He spoke for God in the first person. He said, 14 And God said unto...

Sorry, I'm not following you here. The passage in Exodus tells us that the Angel of the LORD appeared in the bush. It doesn't say God appeared in the bush. In John Jesus is telling the Jews that it was Him who spoke to Moses.

Actually, I don't think Jesus' statement in John 8:58 declares He is God. We are told in the passage in Exodus that the Angel or messenger of the Lord appeared in the bush. Jesus statement in John 8:58 is a declaration that it was Him who spoke to Moses. Jesus also said that the words He spoke...

Yes. There is no consciousness in death. People return to the dust.

You're correct, it's not about marriage. In his work Tertullian explained what was being practiced by the church in his day. There was a question as to whether the veiling was for married women only or also virgins. His conclusion was, look at the Corinthians. Paul wrote the letter to them, what...

It's not. Paul said to the Corinthians, 'to us there is one God, the Father, and one Lord, Jesus Christ'. In the passage you referenced Paul names the Lord that he is referring to. However, Jesus Himself said that the words He spoke were not His but the Father's. Thus, following Christ is...

They go to the grave like everyone else. They will remain there till the Resurrection like everyone else.

There is no argument. Paul commanded it, therefore it's required.

I use, Bibleworks for language Study and most General study. I also have Wordsearch/Logos, and occasionally use Scripture for all.

Lying? Seriously? That's an awesome exegesis of the text.

That's a interesting reply considering you hold to the doctrine of Modalism. Again, the issue is how people understand the word God. It's a title. If I said, the President, Americans would think of the American president. Would Mexicans think of the American president or the Mexican president...

Jesus didn't declare Himself equal with the Father. Nor is He the Father manifested in flesh. Paul said that no one has seen nor can see the Father. Therefore Jesus cannot be the Father. 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus...
