Sorry nothead you have me confused with someone else...this is the only forum I am active on and the only forum I have ever joined...

Can Jesus Be God if God is not a Man (Numbers 23:19)? by Matt Slick "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19). Those who deny that Jesus has two natures...

God's progressive revelation... The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. In this is love...

Shalom... The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Love never fails.

None of this is an argument against the divinity of Christ...these things are not refuted yet this is not the full revelation of scripture. These things are partial to the role of Christ as His own words attest... Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say...

If you remember I discontinued our discussion due to your personal attacks which you continue, yet in the spirit of forgiveness I will respond. First off we have the scripture of the incarnation... 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in...

It is clear that "echad" is used in Shema, not "yachid." You attempt to explain "yachid" into the text when it is not there. This is why Maimonides changed it. As far as your acceptance of the rabbinical interpretations, Jewish rabbis still seek the Messiah. Invalid argument. As far as your...

1. The scripture does not say the Word "became manifest." Scripture says the Word incarnated...big difference than what you attempt. 2.Kings were not worshipped, this is false. First of all Saul is not of the Davidic line. How about some scripture showing where the kings were worshipped...

Need we go back to scripture again? The Word was God...The Word became flesh...Jesus is the Word. Jesus is worshipped....who but God deserves worship? 6 And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let all the angels of God worship Him.” And further in the same...

nothead, Did you overlook the position I formulated? Perhaps if I present it in a different manner it will be clearer. "Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is unified [Echad]!" Completely understandable and relatable. "Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is the number one...

When did I state it is not necessary to pick up your cross daily? If you understand anything I am conveying it should be this point. We are saved by God, not our actions. This in no way states the condition of Shema no longer applies in the life of the believer. And a bit of reference... The...

Humorous even... Articulation of ideas is key in communication. I my assessment of your previous post I gathered you stating the recitation of Shemah would produce in you justification...now from this post I am reading something different. I clearly stated that faith working through love was...

This is where you and I vehemently disagree. Jesus is the only propitiation, not other sacrifice is needed. 8 After saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according...

Well Orthodox Jews cannot claim hope, because it is Jesus that is our hope. Colossians 1:27, 1Timothy 1:1 If you do not have the Son you do not have the Father. By not believing the testimony of the Son given by God you make Him to be a liar. Shemah cannot and will not save you. God is our...

Let me say I believe we are closer in this than we are apart. The point of difference I perceive is emphasis. To be certain we are not justified by "faith alone" as James states inspired through the HolySpirit. Yet as to not contradict Paul it is not by works that we are justified either...

nothead, Interesting you use the Philippians passage because it speaks directly to my case... 12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work...

Hey Old Jack, I think a little clarity need be given here regarding the Logos. Some believe that Jesus needed to "become" Logos as opposed to Jesus being Logos from eternity. This is an incorrect notion as this passage verifies. John 8:58 Also it should be noted that Jesus was not from the...

I would say your summery is a great start!

Actually Preservation of the Saints means those chosen don't "mezz up," the chosen preserve to the end. It is not by our power that we are saved, rather by God. Selah There is One God who saves, whose name is Jealous, our Savior is the Mighty God, the Eternal Father, the Lord of Hosts...

Propitiation is once for all as scripture proclaims. You will know a tree by the fruit it bears. A bad tree will not produce good fruit, and a good tree will not produce bad fruit. By this they will know the disciples of God, by their love for one another. Love is the binding factor that...
