    Jesus is the Son of his God

    "i shall make man" talmud in Bing returns an AI entry that says it does. Searching further, I will find the reference. It is in Megillah 9a though have trouble getting the number of the Talmud verse.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    All things could be anything in Greek, and it is talking about the Church. All were made not created at him. There are few words in Greek for the creation of something out of nothing, and Lexicon :: Strong's G2936 - ktizō κτίζω is not one of them. He is also the "the firstborn from the dead"...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    The doctrine is man made and started with the gentile Valentinus.

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    And I doubt very much that James White is one, but he is prone or was prone to thinking salvation is not choice when someone doesn't believe Jesus is God. The parable of the Good Samaritan proves otherwise. Obeying the laws is more important.

    Is the claim of only one God false? - How many gods are there?

    There is only one authentic God who created the elevations and soil, and even the universe. But other creatures are authentically Gods who either die like men or what we will be when we die.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    I have noticed in the post temple Christian church that the triad evolved into the trinity doctrine. Ignatius was one of the first to believe Jesus created the universe, but Justin Martyr was the first to take the divine stoic logos and create Metatron as part of the Triad. Reading Justin, one...

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    So this rendering hasn't changed since Wycliffe. Interesting. I thought I could blame Willian Tyndale.

    Jesus is the Son of his God

    This does not prove the word is singular in existence or special in Greek or Hebrew. There is good news for Abraham, and good news for the early 1st century Church.

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    It means no Israelite or pagan who has 2 women is a good leader.

    A gospel was the kingdom of God is near. so really? The gospel is not singular though.

    not so simple [Mar 1:15 KJV] 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

    Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?

    Has God spoken to you lately, Jack?

    Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?

    I think it is just that I disagree with you. Why did miracles cease after the destruction of the temple? Tell me that.

    Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?

    Dates can be very sketchy, and there was more than one gnostic who was a Cerinthus or a Merinthus. Cerdo was probably the first Cerinthus. Valentinus was one, since Polycarp knew of his followers, and he didn't want to mention his human name.

    Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?

    Nowhere in the NT is the Cerinthus mentioned. And it is Cerdo who seems to be the first gnostic Rome. He didn't know the apostle John, and Marcion never exhibited anything supernatural. However, Polycarp was unitarian, and Irenaeus only knew of him through-- it seems, Ignatius of Antioch.

    Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?

    Polycarp has more in common with the JWs than the Cerinthus known as Valentinus. My point is that Polycarp didn't have the authority to say the things that he did. John did not exist on earth when Valentinus came to Rome, and to call Marcion the firstborn of Satan implies Marcion was intimate...

    Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?

    https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0103303.htm Ireneus claims Polycarp said these ridiculous things, though he believed them gullibly.
