Your dilemma is that I did not remove anything from those two posts of yours in my previous response: those were the full quotes, and in neither one of them did you quote Genesis 1:1. Your compounded dilemma is therefore the fact that you believe that whatever you say is true just because you...

What I spoke about was as I stated: your illegitimate gematria, which you foist upon the scripture so as to alter just about every scripture you post concerning your belief that Elohim is three, and which you are running around spreading across the board. And moreover I already stated to you...

I found it here: (Reply #383) https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/jesus-is-the-son-of-his-god.73306/page-20#post-2160234

@Matthias, yeah, that's probably the best way to refute the nonsense. Another example would be the numbered days in the opening creation account. The first day is called Yom Echad. Does that mean some sort of secret unity or unified oneness? If so then the same should be true for the remainder...

So now I have seen the same illegitimate gematria again here in this thread. And you think that means anything? It doesn't: it's just word sorcery imo.

Sorry, not interested, I have already seen enough of your brand of illegitimate gematria in other threads.

Where did you learn that the nomina sacra Ι̅Η Χ̅Ρ mean "Jesus Christ" in this particular passage? I am very serious: you learned that interpretation from the early RCC, whether or not you realize it, for no scholarship that I know of has ever even questioned their interpretations of the nomina...

The reading which I posted in the OP is really not any different than most semi-literal translations except that my reading highlights the issues I brought up, 1), that if we are going to capitalize the emphatic "ho Logos" in John 1:1 then we should also do so anywhere else in at least the same...

Lol, please reread what I posted: I wrote John 12:48, not John 14:28! Here it is in Greek, even though it was also already in the OP, in English, which you were so sad about: John 12:48 N/A - W/H 48 ο αθετων εμε και μη λαμβανων τα ρηματα μου εχει τον κρινοντα αυτον ο λογος ον ελαλησα εκεινος...

So then, if you are going to capitalize Logos in your translation of John 1:1, ("Word"), then you need to do so in other places also where it is critical to the understanding of the text and the text has an impact on doctrine, like John 12:48, where the Meshiah, Anointed One, or Christos...

Wow, so much gnashing of teeth over my precious little creed from my Master.

@Wick Stick, more resources to add to my previous post: Gospel of the Ebionites, a Gospel harmony including Matthew and Luke: it begins with the immersion account, (missing first two chapters). https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/gospelebionites-panarion.html...

Try putting the commencement of the discourse together with the statement in John 8:25 and then maybe you might be able to understand HIS point, (not my point). John 8:24-25 24 I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am ― ― ― ― ―, you shall die...

Okay, so you do not believe what he tells them in John 8:25. Fair enough: I'll leave that between you and the Logos who is the only Judge. False accusation: I am not an Arianist. I'll also leave that accusation between you and the Logos who is the only Judge.

I was referring to the following comment, which is a reference to Gen 22, and related to John 8:56-58.

Bingo: Genesis 22! That is the day. Soon I plan to be posting a thread on the topic, (Elohim willing), including some of the information from here in this thread, perhaps I will call it Abraham and the Ram. Har Karkom, (Horeb-Sinai) Rock Art

That's pretty good evidence that "I am", (εγω ειμι), isn't always cracked up to what people might think it means. It was a common way of speaking in the first century, having a normal every day usage among the common people. I am, (εγω ειμι), not saying that is always true in the N/T scripture...

1) John 8:58 ειπεν αυτοις ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν πριν αβρααμ γενεσθαι εγω ειμι Amen amen is a double affirmation, and occurs only in the Gospel of John, and is found twenty-five times therein. This author employs this phrase to inform the observant hearer or reader that the Son is speaking...

This is a difficult question to answer without offering a plethora of links to be studied, (and a lot of study and reading time). The so-called church fathers, those with firsthand involvement concerning this matter, (Jerome, Eusebius, and two or three others), made a mess of this whole thing by...

I hope it turns out that way. :Thumbsup: I see you have just found some of the evidence for Luke in the earliest manuscripts having been missing the first two chapters but I uphold those two chapters and think it is a result of "Mattew" having been missing the first two chapters. Once you do...
