You mentioned "Before Abraham was," Here's how I see John 8:58... My point on all of this is I don't believe the Bible teaches anywhere that Jesus is God because he is not. And you believe that there are verses that say Jesus is God and every verse that you mention I see it different. Like this...

First of all He didn't claim to be a god or divine or God. And they wanted to kill him, because by saying He's the Son of God he was making Himself equal to the God they believe in. We agree here. Second it says God. Not Jesus. So we can't assume. God could have taken on a form or made it seem...

Yep... we are often told that people suffer because they deserve it. And we seem to be able to go into great explanations expressing a confidence in God's absolute sovereignty, defined here as control, that seems to provide many believers with a great deal of security. We teach in our churches...

I never said that there were not more without an article. I said since theos has no article, and since it is clear from the context that the reference is not about the true God, theos is translated "a god." It is a general principle that theos without the article should be "a god," or "divine."...

Why does it have to be God in control of everything when the whole world from every culture since the beginning of man has spoken about gods, angels, demons, and Satan? Even the Buddha speak about the realm of angry spirits. This the invisible society of spirits do seem to be behind much that...

I believe myself to be an expert in the New Testament that started in Acts chapter two. Paul picks it up there and starting with Romans gives us most if not all the doctrine as to what we have in Christ. Peter mentions a few things and James too. So we agree. The problem with this is the...

Paul did have an abundance of revelation. But didn't he go off somewhere for 3 years or 14 and study up (Galatians 1:18; 2:1)?

I don't have you confused with someone else. I'm just showing how Scripture may not be what some say it is when one digs deeper and I used John as an example. I can also comment on Isaiah 9:6.

It happened pretty fast for the Apostles. They were behind closed doors for fear of the Jews and a few days later they were standing in the Temple saying you listen to us... this same Jesus who you crucified has God made both Lord and Christ. Something happened to those guys in between hiding...

Here's a paper only a few pages that I wrote on the new nature a few years ago... www.carb-fat.com/walking-by-the-spirit.html

You did not show by Scripture that Jesus was called God. And when I showed you that is not what that verse says. You then said okay I'm done here. There are many that say John 10:33 for sure says Jesus is God. And then guys like me come along and say this... John 10:33 Had the translators...

I don't know when I was born again. I could have been a little boy because I have a memory of thinking about God. But for sure when I was 19 years old. But it was many years later when I figured out the new nature that my life changed within a half second. I tell people if I was holding my keys...

There are a few groups that have been around for a while that do not see the Scriptures the way you do. I just found one on YouTube that I never heard about before and I listened to a few of their videos and found them pretty good. I posted one below not for you to listen to. But for you to just...

Put me down for number 3 And it's holy spirit which is the gift. Holy Spirit is God. They did not receive God. They received His gift. The words “HOLY SPIRIT” in the Bible are primarily used in two very different ways: One way is to refer to God Himself and the other is referring to God’s...

I believe we undergo a miraculous exchange at the center of our being once we have the spirit of Christ. Who we were in Adam is no longer there. We become a new person because we are now a child of God who is in Christ. The key event causing this exchange is a death, burial, and resurrection...

Would you be so kind to do me a favor? Don't refer to me as a JW or once a JW. That's insulting to me since I believe nothing that they do (based on the little I know about them) nor was I ever with them. And we don't have to argue since I was never talking to you about this in the first place.

Let's take a look at the first one you list... “image.” The Greek word is eikōn (εἰκών), and it means “image.” Jesus was the image of God in the sense in which he said that if we had seen him, we had seen the Father. Trinitarians claim that this verse shows that Jesus is God, but that cannot be...

God is Spirit Jesus What's the third?

There's a reason why you say "Neither does any verse say the Father is God." Because the word "Father" is an English word that we use to define a parent. It's a name or tile and not a a life form. Same with me. I'm not a son, brother, and uncle.

There is not one verse that says Jesus is God the Son. Nor has there ever been a teaching on it anywhere in the Bible. The Jews never saw it anywhere in the entire Old Testament nor anyone in the New Testament ever taught it. The Catholics who invented this nonsense have used only about 8 verses...
