Overly spiritualized Christian’s don’t see the danger and take shelter. Proverbs 27:12

Agreed. But Jesus is not the word OR God according to John’s Gospel.

Just a poetic way of saying God fulfilled the prophecy affirmed in John 1:45 of putting his words in the mouth of one of the people of Israel in Deut 18:15-18. Moses continued, “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him...

The Bible does not say that God became flesh because that never happened. Did you re-read Deut 18:15-18, which was affirmed in John 1:45? If the trinitarian take is correct, why does it contradict John's purpose statement of 20:31?

Thank you. Words ain’t people but an attribute of a person.

Yes it does. Words are not persons. That’s why Scrioture says the Word (if God) was made flesh, meaning put in his mouth as Deut 18:15-18.

JESUS was the first to be redeemed by GOD. Right, @face2face?

But the WORD is not Jesus.

@Lizbeth, still waiting on that verse that says wanting your material needs met is idolatry.

Not an answer to my question. Figures, right @face2face?

Only son and and only begotten son are NOT synonymous! It is understood that Isaac is Abraham's only legal son. The KJV adds to God's word what is not there. No need to be schizo, right @APAK? Simple fact: Isaac is NOT Abraham's only begotten son. Isaac is Abraham's son of promise, his legal...

Agreed. Except the Bible is not a dictionary defining words. Why can’t there be an imperfect analogy between Isaac and Jesus? Most analogies break down at some point in the analysis. For instance, who is Ismael’s counterpart to Jesus?

You must be relying on a bad translation. It doesn’t happen to have “James” in the title, does it? Son of promise, meaning legal son. Only begotten son. Not the same.

Unbelievable! You you feel it is just AOK to insert, to add to God's words "begotton?" Genesis 22:2 Amplified Bible 2 God said, “Take now your son, your only son [of [a]promise], whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of [b]Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the...

Where does this come from? My understanding is that Isaac is the legitimate heir. No sense being schizo on 'only begotten’ with 2 sons.

Schizophrenia Unitarian: Jesus was begotton. Trinitarian: That doesn't mean he was created. Unitarian: Jesus died. Trinitarian: That does mean Jesus died in every way. Unitarian: Scripture says only the Father is God. Trinitarian: That means the Father and his son is God. (Just in the last...

Jesus said to sell your cloak to buy a sword if you don't have one. Every single US President has been Christian. Every single one. Somehow as of late, many in Christendom feel they are too good to dirty their hands in the real world of meeting people's material needs.

This is not a well thought out post. Wanting your material needs met is idolatry now? Yea, please provide that chapter and verse.

It's theological schizophrenia. Lip service has to be paid to the idea that Jesus is a man only because Scripture repeatedly and explicitly says so. However, ... wink, wink ... we have to think of him and all he did as if he were a god. And not just a god but THE only true God of the Bible...

I thought you might catch that! LOL It's sad that America has had such poor governance for decades to create this unfortunate problem. Just a couple of weeks ago Congress wanted a vote on a 1500 page spending bill, released only a few days before it was supposed to be voted on. It is...
