Our conversation is over.

Doesn't change the fact that YHWH is the only god - who we relate to as father. Deut 6:4 (NOG) Yahweh is our Elohim. Yahweh is the only God. Other translations say God is one (singular) – and no translation says God is 3-in-one. Also, consider: … I alone am the Eternal, the only God. Isaiah...

You were taught wrong. Capitalizing words changes nothing. Not every time in the Bible does the word "word" refer to Jesus. John 1:1-5 are among those times. What makes it more confusing is many translations turn hotous, which mean "that" falsely into "he" and autou which means here or there...

This conversation has devolved to your epistemology lacking. Specifically, logic and definitions. Since you cannot grasp definitions, conversation is impossible. We need to be speaking the same language in order for a conversation to ocurr. And although you use the same words, you apply...

Peculiar answer to a 1 God believing person. Jesus died. And since he was God it means, necessarily, that God died. So, your answer to the question of who raised Jesus from the dead is his dead self. Nice! That sounds logical.

If Jesus is God, who raised Jesus from the dead?

We must have gone over this at least 6 times Mark.

This does not mean that Jesus is God. I suppose you’ve indoctrinated yourself to not even recognize John 1:1 could possibly mean anything else. Rest assured, if the monotheist Jew, John, meant Jesus is God, he would have said it rather than write the most anti-trinitarian book of the whole Bible.

The basic reason it is not taught is that it reinforces a fact trinitarians want to deny; that it was not the theology of the Apostles. It evolved violently over centuries as the Roman Empire of the West spread into Pagan mystics. To say there is one God in 3 persons is to pervert the meaning...

It’s not about practicality. A representative democracy is NOT what America is or ever was. I realize it takes more sophisticated thinking to embrace a good ruling mechanism that is not majority based. However, that is what a republic is.

But the converse is not true. The son’s words are not the Father’s. Jesus asked for the cup to be taken from him. God did not ask for the cup to be taken from him. Only the Father is God - according to Scripture, the word of God.

No verse in Scripture says Jesus is God. Why do you?

You are so ridiculous in taking it literally. The word of God is a WHAT, not a WHO. Even if of God means Jesus is not God. I am of Boston. Doesn’t make me Boston. I was just reminded the Apostles Creed does not mention the trinity or dual nature of Christ.

I forgot about that! Great observation.

Sad what happened to Riddick Bowe. Some kind of brain damage made him unable to control rage. He might have got divorced over that.

Well, what is obvious from your words is your refusal to accept Elohim refers to heavenly beings, which include angels, not only to YHWH.

Oh, one other thing. I recall at the end of every training session, he and his sparing partners would sit in a circle and do Bible Study. Holyfield certainly prepared for that fight on more than one level.

The rationalizations that go against explicit Scripture truly show the power of indoctrinated idolatry. Everything - including the word of God - is secondary to defending their man-made idol.

Me too! Do you know what he stitched on his robe when he fought Tyson? A quote from Philippians. As the fight approached, with Tyson converting to Islam, I really felt there was a Spiritual dimension to the fight.

Great question! I think there is something to the psychology of those who make their doctrines idols. They rationalize beyond all reason for what is not defensible by 4 pillars: Definition Logic Language Usage Explicit Scripture Idolatry was once hard for me to grasp until I began to see it in...
