What exactly do you mean by, "the divine nature of Christ?" I know 2 Peter 1:4 says all Christians partake of the divine nature. Do you take that to be the same as Christ's divine nature or something different? If different, how is it different? It was the divine nature that gave Jesus the...

Although I've never learned to speed read, perhaps I did miss what you said the first time around so I read it slowly and three times. I'm not sure what you are saying.

Mark 9 fulfilling John 1:51 is a huge assumption. I'm afraid you are making the same mistake as Adam and Eve. God said they would die. The devil said they would not die. If you think Elias and Moses actually appeared on the mountain, then you are siding with the devil, saying that they did not...

What is God's image? God is spirit. John 4:24, God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. In Genesis God: "created" man in His image: spirit (Gen 1:27) "formed" man from the ground: body (Gen 2:7) "breathed" into man the breath of life: soul...

As opposed to the 0 explicit verses that say Jesus is God. But forget that. It doesn't matter. The orthodox doctrine says Jesus is God. Are you actually suggesting that the Bible takes precedence over orthodoxy? What a novel concept! I think you just might have something there brother. I think...

Sorry, but I just don't see "God the Son" in those verses. Since "God the Son" is a key element of the trinity (supposedly our very salvation depends on it), wouldn't you think those words would be found somewhere in the Bible? I think Psalms 2 makes a very clear distinction between God, the...

Good point. I think Romans 11, especially verse 25 says a lot about that. Rom 11:25, For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in...

Could you quote exactly what I said that led you to believe I think Proverbs 8 are not the words of God, but rather human philosophy? No. I don't think Psalms was made up by a shepherd. I'm a firm believer that God is the author of all scripture, including Psalms. 2 Tim 3:16, All scripture...

Well, I think you might have something if Heb 1:3 said, "Who being God..." But it doesn't. In fact, we are left wondering exactly whose right hand God sat on! I might ask why you did not include Num 23:19, and Luk 17:30?

John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Try reading John 1 with the idea that the Word is God. John 1 is not all about Jesus. It talks about God, John the Baptist, and Jesus. But to gain even more understanding, find out what the word "logos"...

You're being led too much by Greek philosophy. They were the first to personify wisdom. It sure wasn't the Jews, the ones to whom God actually wrote. No, I'm not at all aware that God kept his plan of salvation secret until Jesus' baptism. I always thought Jesus was first promised way back in...

So God created the angels (spiritual beings) after Adam and Eve? I didn't realize you wondered whether or not I see a difference between being a son of God and a son of my earthly father. Really? You must have an incredible low estimation of me to even suggest I don't see the difference between...

Proverbs 8 is talking about wisdom (verse 1). There is no justification for changing that to Jesus other than a preconceived idea. Hebrews is one person talking to another. I just don't understand how anyone can read about one person talking to another person and come to the conclusion that the...

Of course I'm not qualified to rewrite "your" Bible. What's your point?

I see it's quite impossible to have an intelligent conversation with you. I tried my best to work with you, but to no avail. I'll be blocking any further comments from you.

It is true that God, specifically Yahweh, created man in His image. Note verse 27 uses the singular, "His image," not "Our image." God is spirit (John 4:24) and that is His image. Man was originally created as body, soul, and spirit. Did you find anything on "the divine council?" I just Googled...

It takes minimal expertise to see the "el" in Samuel, Abiel, Uzzial, Uriel, and about a hundred other names. I didn't write the book. If I had written it, it wouldn't have been nearly as good! :) I'm just reading what's there.

How come nobody else got knocked down when Jesus said ego eimi? He said it a bunch of times.

Very well. Any comment on the actual content? What did you find out about how "ego eimi" is used in the scriptures?

Very concise summary. Too bad many discount history. The church had a history that went a certain way, believed or not. But as you pointed out, the scriptures themselves tell the tale. 2Cor 11:4, For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive...
