    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    I cannot believe you are serious. but I do believe you continue to post verses without citing the book, chapter verse. The contrast you are drawing fails because "those" are referring to other Beings, not non-Beings, such as words. Even if you claim this as an example of inconsistency, it does...

    Do forums increase your faith?

    OMG! Study notes are indispensable. They really open up the Bible. So grateful we live in this time. Just say The Chosen Season 3, which opened with the Sermon on The Mount. Artistically done, the audience only heard snippets. Later Roman authorities asked informants what the sermon was about...

    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    The presence or absence of definite articles is not a matter of CAPITALUZATION. ‘I gave him apples’ denotes something different from ‘I gave him THE apple.’ You know this. You just don’t want to acknowledge the significance of it. It is a grammatical difference, the presence or absence of...

    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    They don’t have a rejection criteria. Therefore, all evidence - by definition - supports their idol. It’s probably a lack of spiritual maturity and discernment on the part of those who do not understand how the evidence supports their dogma.

    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    What is ignored is leaving doctrine aside. You are talking to people totally succumb to their IDOLATRY; there is no putting it aside. You are speaking a language they don't understand, a language independent of doctrine.

    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    That’s not simple at all but figurative. You are confounding the effect with cause. The cause is the WHO, the Being who spoke. The effect are the WHAT, the words the Being spoke. To say they are the same is figurative. The same with, you are what you eat or do.

    Not familiar with figurative language?

    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    Agreed. Self-deception is the hardest to overcome. Not sure how you make that connection. Putting aside Jesus for a moment, don't you agree that everything from God has authority, be it his literal words or a messenger he sends on his behalf? It seems to me that you are so devout to your...

    Indeed. Angels compromise the Heavenly Council don’t they?

    Luckily for you there's no hell:

    Phew! That's a lot of nothin you posted. All you have to do is post that verse that says something like God will raise the wicked form the dead to torture them in hell without end. Simple.

    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    Don’t you realize v8 is affirming the existence of REAL-lowercase gods? You are taking the converse of the point being made. No created Being is like the Creator, YHWH. Yet, there are many lowercase lords and gods, as v8 affirms.

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    God is a WHO not a WHAT, a Being (the Creator, the Supreme Being) not a definition.

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    LOL. That’s your strategy, define God out of existence.

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    There are counter arguments? The existence of counter arguments does not automatically mean they hold up to scrutiny. What is the superior argument to DNA containing 4D of information but humans only write in 2D means an intelligent designer?

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    Good questions. This is the beginning; 1st learn WHAT Jesus said; later, over years ponder WHY he said it.

    Again. These are Christs words. They are good enough for me. Why are they not good enough for you?

    How the New Word Translation Contradicts Itself: The Word was a god

    According to John 1:1, the first god was the word of God (meaning the literal plan, logic, voice) of the Creator.
