Point taken..thanks

I think now would be a great time for you to take some chill-out pills. Calm down and try to respond to what I actually said and not what I did not say, like Jesus saying the 10 Commandments are bondage. Well, your overall response as an emotional appeal and apologist for Jesus is quite...

Attempting to alter course and avoid my question posed to you I see... Jesus the Messiah isn't my main or ultimate goal or reason for living. I serve and worship my God, my Father in heaven, above all. Do my words upset you because I don't serve Yeshua just like his Father? Let me make this...

The question I posed to you is far more important and beyond satisfying your unjustified concern that I did not follow and adhere to some type of classroom format of yours. I take it you either do not know the answer to my question or care not to answer it for some reason. I asked a poignant...

Agency, a very useful and common term of the OT. A term for our mediator to God for us, and the light to this fallen world, Christ Jesus and his spirit.

Logic depends on one's viewpoint and purpose. You presumed that both you and I are speaking to all sincere Christians on this forum. I did not make that strong and likely inaccurate assumption. And also, I do not take for granted that when I talk about God and His Son, everyone understands the...

I feel the fear and reverence of God within me, and I live solely for Him. He is eternal life and has promised it to me, so I live according to His will in this life, for as long as He permits. My existence or life has always been in His hands—before I was born, during this life, and after this...

I'll bite... So, whom do we ultimately serve? Choosing to say or write nothing can be a powerful and productive choice for understanding, particularly in emotionally charged or complex situations. Silence allows space for reflection, enabling individuals to process information without the...

Having the right context and perspective in life is crucial. Who bestows the crown of life – God or Jesus, as mentioned in James 1:12? The verse attributes the promise of the crown of life to "the (Uppercase) Lord" or "God," depending on the manuscript tradition. Some early manuscripts read...

A rather large subject and even difficult subject, and so here's a little longer reply, that only addresses a Muslim. When attempting to convert at least one Muslim (excluding Jews), you might mention that Jesus submitted to God, just as the Qur’an acknowledges Abraham’s submission to God...

What is the state of the dead in the afterlife as one thread is entitled? Dead, as the dead have no life in this dead after life until the awakening - called the after dead life!

Did you get a knock on the head or not enough sleep last night as I will not rely to you again on something you already should have read. See my comment at #446. I would recommend you think about things more before writing, or just comment less.

Is there any scriptural evidence for a unique eternal begetting of anyone? Scripture refers only to human begetting, which includes Jesus, the Christ. Begetting means more than just a special Father-Son relationship; it signifies new life that is received or gained. You have been misled into...

Believe as you wish. Begotten or Begetting begs for a beginning as in conception and birth don't you think. You were begotten of your parents I would think. And yours was unique although Christ's beginning was very special and one of a kind don't you think, of the Spirit of God.

The Hebrew word Elohim (אֱלֹהִים) is grammatically plural, derived from the singular El (אֵל) or Eloah (אֱלוֹהַּ). It is the most frequently used term for God in the Hebrew Bible, appearing over 2,500 times. Despite its plural form, it is often used with singular verbs, adjectives, and pronouns...

The Greek word monogenés (μονογενής) most certainly refers to a creation of even a human being. It refers to a uniquely begotten human being of a singular kind. It describes a human created through a distinct process of fertilization of a human egg. It does not, and never has, meant a...

Get to the unitarian, true monotheist heart of the matter, and not skirt around the Trinitarian frilly edges that look so cute. The expression "in the bosom of the Father" is an idiom that represents a relationship of eternal love, closeness, and intimacy between a Father and a Son. In relation...

"You still have a lot to learn, Grasshopper." Even a blind student can perceive Christ in spirit, yet you are unable to 'see' or experience him either with your eyes when confronted or in spirit. Are you aware if you carry the spirit of Christ within you?

When is an argument presented, particularly one that could impact lives, simply as a single statement that lacks context and understanding? Typically, the statement acts as an introduction to the main argument. Here are some questions I think should be addressed before making an argument: Do...

I also do not believe that the Son of God is the origin of divinity. Where in the scriptures is this stated? You need a strong argument for this, as Jesus never explained how or even if he had divinity like his Father. However, the Father's spirit did inhabit the Son's spirit, enabling him to...
