Why do you suppose a mere human being cannot manifest God in the flesh? Isn't that what is Christians are supposed to do?

Can't justify it, so you copy and paste an article from the morally decadent John McCain? We can all use our search engine to read stuff. I'm on this forum for discussion. You write 'Putin has adopted some good things to stay in power' but this thread is not about engaging in personal attack on...

How do you justify claiming 'his cold-blooded mass murders?'

This is a great example of imposing trinitarian doctrine onto unitarian text. Where do you get the idea that Isaiah 9:6 is a Messianic passage since the Jews for 1,000's of years recognized it did not? Excerpts from Isaiah 9:6 – The Child Is Not “God” 1. The Hebrew word “El gibor” is not only...

Regarding being outdated; Son, fundamental debates are never one and done. Every generation has to decide for itself how to live and what is true and right. The man-is-God thesis is the cause for Original Sin and was shown to be incorrect then and every time since - except when Roman emperor's...

I am convinced there is only one right way to interpret Scripture, Spirit led. And I believe the Spirit can lead anyone from any denomination, reading any translation. I am generally anti-KJV but admit that some verses I have committed to memory only in the KJV translation. It is fine for us...

Dualism. Less in any way is not equal. God does not have a human component. Jesus is explicitly said in Scripture to be a man.

Sons are made. To invoke the notion of an unmade son is to destroy the concept of what it means to be a son. My father, dressed up in the form of Howdy Doody, does not a son make. The Father incarnate is still not a son. They want you to accept when the say "son" they mean the Father incarnate...

Yes but not in the relevant Ex 3:15 under discussion. It is telling that even in the KJV, Ex 3:15 refers to God in his wholeness, in his unitarian nature - and not the trinitarian made up 'godhead.' The books of the NT you referenced where the distortion took place (of replacing god with 'god...

In another thread, a trinitarian asserted YHWH refers to the ‘Godhead.’ What do you think of this?

Coincidently, in todays Devotional Reading of John 11, the NRSV study notes said such thinking was a Jewish tradition by the 1st century. As you point out, tradition is not Scripture. Many rely on to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord. I don’t think it holds up to scrutiny.

I confess I was surprised to see this one. Many here seem to have sharp criticism of the JW translation. Can you elaborate on why this is a helpful tip in no 'making you a life-long slave to the Watchtower Society?'

If asked my wife to stop doing this many times. And told her point blank to stop several times. Beyond having boundary issues, it is baffling.

Are you saying that God explained but his explanation is insufficient? Not sure where you are getting that from. God didn’t explain to Job. And he said his ways are higher, which is not exactly an explanation. Finally, Jesus asked for the cup to be taken. Request denied with no explanation in...

I disagree. A radical component of God's word is it's covenent nature. This is in contrast to a contractual relationship. In a contractual relationship, one side is freed from the obligation if the other side fails to live up to its side. No commandment from God requires an explanation his...

You know, that's something I never understood. Why are proper nouns, like places and people's name not kept across languages? I understand the capital of Italy is called in the native language, Roma. Why is it "Rome" in English? Why not Roma in all languages? The word that came out of her...

No. The Bible has dozens of lords. All proper noun's would be capitalized, such as Lord Vader and Lord Voldamort. This is distinct from the LORD in many Bible translations, which is NEVER used to refer to Jesus but God, the Father, who alone is God.

The Bible repeatedly states the man Jesus, not merely the form of a man.

Not sure why you think Is 9:6 pertains to Jesus since the Jews reject this claim but it refers to someone born centuries before. Son's are not their Father's.

How he died is not the point. God is unchanging and eternal. That Jesus died is simply proof that he is not God.
