    Aspen and Tigger 2 discuss 'who is God?'

    Sorry about that. With my memory I'll probably make the same mistake again.:) I'm pretty worn out for this day, but I'll leave you with the old standard - John 17:1, 3, "Father.... This is eternal life: to know thee who alone art truly God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent" - NEB. I'll be...

    Aspen and Tigger 2 discuss 'who is God?'

    We have agreed to examine a verse until we are both ready to go to another. We'll use the Bible of our Choice, but will use a good NT text to back it up. If two scriptures are necessary to complete a single idea (John 8:58/Ex. 3:14?) it will be allowed. Aspen may start if he wishes.

    O.K., I'll give it a try.

    Witnessing to a Jehovah Witness

    I am 78 now. Would you like me to start a new thread here? Or try a one-to-one discussion on another board?

    Witnessing to a Jehovah Witness

    If a Trinitarian claims to have been baptized in water, and then subsequently comes to the scriptural knowledge of Jesus - should that person be baptized in water a second time? Definitely.

    Witnessing to a Jehovah Witness

    I can be as patient as my advancing age will allow. In the early seventies I began studying with JW's. After a year I was confronted with a Dr. Walter Martin tape by a co-worker. I was shocked. From then on, for the next ten years, I conducted my own private study concerning the trinity. I...

    Witnessing to a Jehovah Witness

    I am not interested in that either. I would accept we start with Bible quotes as backed up by the major modern NT Greek texts (W&H; Nestle-Aland; UBS). In other words, no single translation is to be considered infallible. I would prefer to examine only one statement at a time, unless two are...

    Witnessing to a Jehovah Witness

    I agree. I suggest we discuss only scriptural evidence for who is God. I believe it would quickly get out of hand unless we agree to discuss only one (or two if necessary) verses or statements at a time. And then continue to another only when we both agree to do so. If there is too much...

    Witnessing to a Jehovah Witness

    I would be happy to share ideas concerning 'Who is God." Remember, sharing ideas means both sides are thoroughly examined by each person. If you agree, I'll start a new discussion here where we can thoroughly examine this topic one (or two) verses at a time.

    OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION

    If those billion+ baptized Roman Catholics do not believe they are Christians, you might have a point - - but you don't. I can't see that many (if any) of them would say they were not Christian. There is no requirement that the 'many' must all be faithful. Nor do we expect all Baptists, etc...

    OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION

    The most populous (by far) of all the religions which claim to be Christian is the Roman Catholic Church. It is more than 10 times larger than any other Christian denomination. Its membership cannot be considered the 'few.' "The number of baptized Catholics grew 1 percent in a year to reach...

    OUTSIDE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THERE IS NO SALVATION

    Matt. 7:13, 14, - "Enter ye in at the strait [narrow] gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [narrow] is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." - KJV...

    Christ was Incarnated, not Created! Jesus is Eternal God!!

    Micah 5:2 - Part 2 As for the Hebrew word olam, it can also be understood as “ancient times” or “of old” and does not necessarily refer to “eternity.” Here is how it (olam) is used in the following scriptures in the NASB: of old (Gen 6:4) days of old (Deuteronomy 32:7) `From ancient times...

    Christ was Incarnated, not Created! Jesus is Eternal God!!

    OP: Micah 5:2 - part 1 It's true that his human birth was not his creation. But a closer look at Micah 5:2 shows that his creation was much earlier than his human birth. Some trinitarians tell us Micah 5:2 (or 5:1 in some versions) teaches that Jesus has always existed (“from everlasting”...

    Immaculate Conception.....in the Bible

    Hi, truth. I hope you are about to explain what the Immaculate Conception is really supposed to mean. Others here seem to have no clue even though it is easy to look up.

    Is Jesus God?

    I still don't see 'sons of God' in Job 1:3. The word ben H1121 is merely 'sons of.' In Job 1:3 it is used with 'East' ('sons of [the] East'). And at Genesis 6 'sons of' is used with 'God' ('sons of God').

    No, I don't see "sons of God" in Job 1:3.

    Is Jesus God?

    "#1. Angels are never sons." ...................................... Job 38:7 "sons of God" is often rendered as "angels" CEV - while morning stars sang, and angels rejoiced? ERV - when the morning stars sang together and the angels shouted with joy? GNT - In the dawn of that day the stars...

    The problem with Phil. 2:6, 7 (part 3)

    Angelina, Phil. 2:6 is given to us as an example of Christ's humility - Christian Standard Bible 3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. .... 5 adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus," and then Christ's example...
