    Seven Lessons for John 1:1c

    So, when we read that Othniel (Judges 3:9) and Ehud (Judges 3:15) are both called “savior” (same Hebrew word translated “savior” at Is. 43:11 is translated “deliverer” in KJV - compare ASV), should we really believe they are both Jehovah because “besides [Jehovah] there is no savior”? If so, we...

    Seven Lessons for John 1:1c

    If your 'common sense' and the Holy Ghost give you the true meaning of scriptures, why do you use a flawed Bible translation made by men? Here are some actual NT scriptures. What do your 'common sense' and the Holy Ghost tell you they mean in English? ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σύ ἐκεῖνος κλέπτης...

    Seven Lessons for John 1:1c

    Convoluted, and not evidence concerning John 1:1c. You don't need to be a rocket scientist, but you do need an honest NT Greek scholar/translator to discern what the scriptures really say to English speakers today. Here are some actual NT scriptures, how should they read in English? ὅτι...

    Seven Lessons for John 1:1c

    Who said those guidelines cannot be questioned? If you are referring to sticking to the Grammar of John for examples comparable to John 1:1c, yes, I insist on that. As far as unable to focus on any one lesson, that's ridiculous. Try it! Question away, but please go in order. First would...

    Seven Lessons for John 1:1c

    I had decided to shake the dust off my feet with you, but then decided to try one last time. If you were really serious about your defense of John 1:1c, you wouldn't ignore the first 5 Lessons themselves. You would certainly take them one-by-one to show my 'errors' (allowing me the opportunity...

    Aspen and Tigger 2 discuss 'who is God?'

    Scripture doesn't even say that 'God is three persons in the one God,' or even 'God is three.' In fact the word 'three' is never used for God at all.

    Aspen and Tigger 2 discuss 'who is God?'

    Well, if 'knowing God' in its most basic understanding means, to start, WHO HE IS, then read the scriptures I gave you with care. John 17:3 - "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." - NIV. It is eternal life to know as much as we...

    Aspen and Tigger 2 discuss 'who is God?'

    How important for us is the knowledge of God according to - John 17:3 (compare Jer. 10:10); 2 Thess. 1:8?

    Stranger wrote: (Luke 17:15-16) "And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks....") That is very close to what the NT text says alright. The problem is the uses of the pronouns 'his'...

    1 Samuel 25:23: "When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey, and fell on her face before David and bowed herself to the ground." - NASB. 2 Samuel 1:2. "... and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. - ASV. Clear declarations for...

    Seven Lessons for John 1:1c

    No one taught me this, nor have I seen it anywhere else. Calling me a liar does not avoid the fact that all my personal research for this, which took me a number of years, is available in the links I have given you. Even the first 5 'Lessons,' when carefully examined, show the truth of the...

    I don't mind people joining in when they stick to the subject and ask questions when they don't understand. And I hate personal attacks, red herrings, etc.

    Seven Lessons for John 1:1c

    As Aspen wrote on another thread: "Typical response. Let anyone one else do the research and then, dismiss it with an opinion" Anyone who complains about the results of another's honest, reproducible study (mostly NT Greek as used by John) and refuses to examine it lacks wisdom. - Hypoxia 7:3.:)

    Aspen and Tigger 2 discuss 'who is God?'

    GG: Ps. 110:1 more honestly says: "Jehovah [YHWH] saith unto my Lord [ADN or kurios in OT Greek], Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool." - ASV. Unfortunately, early 'Christians' removed God's only personal name (YHWH) from all their writings (probably shortly...

    The NT Greek word for 'messengers' is the same as for heavenly messengers - aggelous (angels). See Luke 9:52 and 1 Cor. 6:3 in an interlinear.
