I think John 10:36 says Jesus is God's son, the one whom God sent to save the world. Jesus did not claim to be God in John 10:36. I don't know how else to take the words, " I am the son of God." I think both Jesus and God understand a son can not be his own father. In fact in John 17:3 Jesus...

I think that the unforgivable sin is being born again of the devil's seed, the proverbial "selling your soul to the devil." All birth is the result of seed. Genesis chapter 1 is clear that seed always produces an offspring with the same nature as the parent. Gen 1:11-12, 11 And God said, Let...

Good point. I'd say guessing about scripture is much closer to 100% wrong than 0%. It seldom works out.

Very astute observation. I never thought of that before, but you are absolutely right. I wonder why? Maybe Satan has something to do with it? I think so!

Good verse. Pretty clear cut. I think I'll be for him! :)

Why can we dis Jesus but not the Holy Ghost? Matt 12:32, And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. Aren't they both...

Did the LA Rams play the Buffalo Bills in the 2nd century BC? They do tonight, so maybe some things are new? Just goofing around. I know what you mean. Still, the Ancient Near Eastern brain fired quite differently than that of the modern Western mind upon seeing or hearing the word "god." If...

Oops, I think I just answered someone else's mail. So maybe what follows makes sense, but maybe not! :) No JW. I'm pretty sure they don't believe in the manifestations of the spirit which I do. Also I think they believe Jesus existed from the beginning. I, and many others, think Jesus was born...

Half the world bombs the scriptures. So what? Truth is truth. It's not a numbers game. Still, you piqued my interest. I'll see what others have to say about it. Thanks!

I assume you are saying that Jesus is God because they are both called a "rock." To the Ancient Near Easterner the word "rock" was used to describe a refuge. They called their gods a rock also. I further assume you would say the same about both being called a savior. Joshua was also called a...

Well, they do understand who Jesus is, that he is the son of God. They are also astute enough to understand a son can not be his own Father. I'll give you that. You think you understand who Jesus is more than me. Why can't they do the same? It's a well known fact among serious Biblical scholars...

There is a huge gulf between the Ancient Near Eastern worldview and that of the modern West. I said that in the modern When most modern, Western people hear the word "god" and they think of an old man with a white beard and sandals sitting on a cloud. That is not even close to the image formed...

Check out this little known translation of the NT: Matthew 1, REV Bible and Commentary The folks who did it are not trinitarian. There is also an excellent commentary that goes along with it.

Good point. You're right, the poor Holy Ghost hardly gets any press time. He doesn't even have a throne in the new Jerusalem! Regarding all authority, there is actually one exception: 1 Cor 15:27, For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him, it...

All we have to do is get rid of Psalm 28, at least verse 6, and we can still have a trinity. No reason to let one little verse get in the way of 2,000 years of tradition. :)

I think it was their bias. They did whatever they could to promulgate the trinity.

I think a big part of the problem with John 20:20 is that it is often read with a modern Western mindset, not realizing that when Jesus walked this earth the word "god" had an entirely different meaning to those people. We think of the word "god" and the only thing that comes to mind is the god...

I'm with you on the KJV. If you noticed, that's were 99% of my quotes come from. At least they are honest enough to put the words they added in italics. A good example of that is right in 1 Corinthians 12:1. They let the reader know the the word "gifts" is not really in the original text. Still...

I think this is about the 6th time you've sent this message. I don't mind, but I thought you might want to know. :)

How do you account for different English translations of the same Greek word? There are tons of examples of that in the many versions we have today. And yet, Psalm 12:6 says God purified each word seven times. The fact is we don't have even one document that Moses, Isaiah, John, Paul, or any of...
