Greetings again rebuilder 454, As far as conjecture goes, some suggest that Jesus as the only begotten was begotten from eternity, not just before the worlds. I find no mention of this in God's Word. I am not sure what you are actually saying here. Jesus always did that which was pleasing to...

Greetings again rebuilder 454, The Athanasian Creed does briefly mention and claim that Jesus is the Son of God, but it seems to indicate that the reason why he is called the Son of God is because he was "begotten before the worlds". while Luke 1:35 defines Jesus as the Son of God because God...

Greetings again rebuilder 454, But you seem to have a problem with the virgin birth, as you claim that it is mind bending. I suggest that the narratives of the virgin birth in Matthew and Luke are simple and clear, but the facts of the case directly contradict the concept and details of the...

Greetings MonoBiblical, What is your opinion of the NWT of Genesis 3:1? Genesis 3:1 (NWT): Now the serpent was the most cautious of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made. Nearly all or possibly all other translations give "subtil" (KJV) or "crafty" (many modern...

Greetings again ScottA, What you have stated so far is sufficient for me to disregard your claim. I am partly amused at your supposed position, and the sketchy support you supply to verify this. Also if Post #9 is typical of your style, then I am not interested. I am in a different fellowship...

Greetings again ScottA, Your first and last sentences are not in any way clear to me. and also all that you have stated in between is also obscure to me at least. Are you "appointed"? Time for me to move on. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again ScottA and Greetings amigo de Christo, I agree with what is written concerning Jesus in John 17:5 and in my first post I stated the following: I consider that Jesus in John 17:5 is alluding to the glory mentioned in Psalm 8:4-6. Starting one verse earlier: Psalm 8:3-6 (KJV): 3...

Greetings again rebuilder 454, I am not sure as to what is your problem here as Matthew 1:20-21, Luke 1:34-35 and John 1:14 are simple and clear that God the Father was the father of Jesus by means of the power of the Holy Spirit and Mary was his mother. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings ScottA, I believe ALL of the Word of God. It is one harmonious whole from Genesis to Revelation and the focus is upon our Lord Jesus Christ, his unique birth, his development, his ministry and his crucifixion, death and resurrection, his exaltation and his future kingdom. Kind...

Greetings Walter and Debbie, I do not accept the pre-existence of Jesus before his conception and birth. Jesus was a human, the Son of God by birth, character and resurrection, not a God-man. The verses you quote have been adequately discussed elsewhere. For John 17:5 refer Psalm 8:4-6. Kind...

Greetings again rebuilder 454, I appreciate your response, but I hold very strongly onto a belief in the virgin birth, and also believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. I also claim that the Bible teaches that there is One God, Yahweh, God the Father and that our Lord Jesus Christ is a...

Greetings rebuilder 454, I notice that @Hiddenthings also claims to be a Christian, and if you have followed some of his earlier threads you will discover that he is not a JW. I agree with his view that there is only one God, the Father and that our Lord Jesus Christ is a human, now exalted to...

Greetings again Doug, Read again Acts 8. Philip was "preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God" and Paul was also preaching the kingdom of God. Acts 8:5-6,12 (KJV): 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave...

Greetings Doug, You forgot about the things concerning the Kingdom of God: Acts 8:5-6,12 (KJV): 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which...

Greetings Bob, I have always considered that Psalm 72 were the thoughts of David as he handed over the Kingdom to Solomon, and I consider that verse 20 confirms this, even though my RV prints this verse in smaller letters. I suggest that although it speaks of Solomon and his reign it has in...

Greetings again Matthias, I have been careful as to what books we stock and recommend. At one stage our senior expositor suggested that he review ALL the new books added before making them available, but often he was very busy. I changed this when it was apparent that our main supplier CSSS...

All of the above resources are recommended and there is no need to issue a warning, but if the brother picked up the ivp Dictionary or any other of the Dictionaries, then this warning may be necessary, especially to a young brother.

Greetings again Matthias, Yes, but in practical terms as relevant to the situation in our Ecclesia, I doubt that I would suggest the ivp three volume Illustrated Bible Dictionary that I know is in the reference library, or any other of the dictionaries that may be there. If an older brother...

Greetings again Matthias, There are a few, but I do not have a list. It is not a deliberate reference collection, but what has been collected from various people over a number of years. My personal collection is the five volume Hastings, 3 volume ivp The Illustrated Bible Dictionary, an...

Greetings again Matthias, In your Spirit world or God's Spirit world, the good guys instead of the bad guys, is there a breed of Angels called Cherubim with four different heads and four wings each, and is there another breed of Angels identified as four Living Creatures each with different...
