It's a statue in Brookstone Gardens in Myrtyle Beach. It is entitled, "Man Forging His Own Destiny." It depicts a man literally chiseling himself out of the marble. What you see as back scratching is actually the top of a swing of the mallet on the chisel near his ankle, still stuck in the rock.

What is this hehehe? Sadism of men in pain? :mad:

Don't know where this thread is heading but "man-splaining" is part of the man-hating culture we've become. Say to a woman to stop women-splaining. See how respectfully she reacts to this variant of SHUT UP. It's just a hateful way of saying you do not have a right to talk based on your gender...

To double down on this, there is nothing suggesting believing this is the central message of the Bible. Why believing this is so important cannot be found in Scripture.

That primarily because he is not. Jesus is a person. Words are not people. John 1:1 does not even invoke Jesus. It took me a long time to grasp why trinitarians even make this assertion. And the proof text is 20:31 where John is kind enough to state his purpose in writing his Gospel. Wouldn’t...

Not sure what significance you put on this word. 3 other men in Scripture were worshipped Nebuchanazeer, Daniel and David. Doesn’t mean they were God.

Not really an answer to my question. Just another diversion. According to Bible up the first word translated “God” is Theou. Not Theos. Not sure if that is correct but does seem like not the same as John 1:1.

While delving into this may be enlightening for some, it is a bit of a diversion. Sticking to John 1:1, do you see no significance in the inconsistent use of "ho" before the word "theos?" What are the possible explanations for this inconsistency in John 1:1?

Is this what you say or what JW say?

I was just responding to Jack in kind. Every experience I've had with Mormons have been positive. Regarding their doctrines, I'm sure your search engine is as good as mine. While Christendom embraces 2 books, the OT & NT, everyone knows Mormons embrace a 3rd book found in the original language...

No. I'm saying you are not comprehending what Scripture is saying. Jesus, quoting God does not make Jesus God. It would help you understand if you actually used God's name, YHWH. 16Come near to me and hear this: ‘From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it came to be...

Mormons believe they EXACT same as you; that their beliefs are right and yours are wrong.

I think you should stay in your lane and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Mormons say they are Christian. That's good enough for me.

Oy vey. Of secondary importance is when. Fact is, Jesus was never called the things in Isaiah 9:6. Of primary importance is that calling someone something does not make it true. Was Ali the greatest cause he said so?

I speak English.

I am Groot.

Some claim mastery of the Greek language is required to discuss Christology.

It tells me that I speak English. You suppose retreating to a foreign language helps your cause. It doesn’t! I’ve seen outstanding analyses by @tigger 2 go unanswered.

It’s a reference to a character in the Marvel universe. The language of the species consists entirely of the 3 words, I am Groot. Likewise, I speak English. And I reject the implication that my native tongue is insufficient to understand Scripture. And more to the point, relentless attacks on...
