I get sick and tired of people like you who don't read the full post and yet have the continental gall to reply to my post. Your theology is way off in the area of Soteriology. Why don't you do one of two things. Either read my post in full, or give up your membership in this forum. People like...

Did you just add awars?? I assume you meant awards. I don't see that in BDAG

what I am looking for is the original source of where BEMA is used of the Olympic games.

Can you provide me with the source from which you got this? I am looking for an original source in some ancient Greek usage.

You have probably heard that the Judgment seat of Christ takes its meaning from the Olympic Games. The scholars say that the Judges would sit on a raised platform and hand out rewards for the winners of the contests. I checked 30 commentaries by noted and not so noted scholars to find out just...

You have the right Bible. And I like the NSRVue translation. "himself God"

This is the problem with Islam. Their god was not a relational being until he created someone. For all eternity past, he was all alone.

Yes, Jesus

GJohn 1.18 θεὸν οὐδεὶς ἑώρακεν πώποτε· μονογενὴς θεὸς ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκεῖνος ἐξηγήσατο. No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known. There is a textual variant here that has made this a very...

Once you deny the deity of Christ, anything goes.

Here is how the Jews understood his claim to deity: But Jesus answered them, My Father works hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Paul does not advise us to attack, but to stand. of course, the armor of God are all spiritual doctrines and we have those to STAND on when Satan throws his darts at us, but we are only advised TO STAND, not to attack. I guess I don't call standing fighting. And lead us not into temptation, but...

Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil one.

I will assume you are a new believer so I will go easy on you, but your position is overtly blasphemous and I thought you ought to know that before you wrote any more on this subject without studying it. You wrote: Jesus said.. "I and my Father, are ONE".. ONE what? Finally, What...

I will tell you this, you wont find me fighting the devil and his demons. Christ prayed that we would be kept from Satan, not battle him.

This is close to blasphemy. Can God the Father be Fully God and Fully the Father?

The Christian college I attended I found this to not be true. Yes we need to prayerfully seek Truth from God. But I have found that this was the belief of those who didn't get very good grades and to me at least, were rather lazy. To understand the word, you need to train yourself to be able to...

Let me give you one to two of my notes regarding this topic. Because, you developing some thoughts on the logos as more than a person is actually how the Greek Philosophy would take this verse. the question in John 1 is whether or not you want to take this as a Jewish expression or a Greek one...

Because God's word says so. I am certain of the Bible's validity and its doctrines. If for some reason I couldn't know if I was certain, this verse would have to be explained. And, if you explained this before, I am sorry, I don't recall it. Also, the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit...

1 John 5.13 There is no denying that we can "KNOW" we have eternal life. What you are doing in my opinion is trying to hide the fundamental clarity of Scripture.
