Before going through your texts. I will offer one myself which completely supports the concept of preexistence. “6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the...

You are correct, Jesus was not created. He was begotten. And because Jesus created all things, (obviously He didn't create Himself) therefore He was begotten before creation... Before time. Begotten's predominant meaning in Scripture is not unique as some would have it, but born. Jesus was...

I agree with you until you get to 2 Gods.

I would like you to note how Aaron introduced the calf to the people, “4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron...

The Son received everything of His Father through being begotten. A literal ontological Son... Not a metaphor or a created being. A Son that came forth of God before creation. A Son who in conjunction and agreement with His Father, chose to become a human baby with all the weaknesses and trials...

You have to ignore a lot of Scripture to come to that conclusion.

Why not? He wasn't called Christ or Jesus, but He was begotten long enough ago to create everything.

Okay. Does anytime actually teach that?

I disagree with the way the creeds are used as a formula in order to describe God. They go too far in attempting to reduce an infinite Being to a formula to satisfy a finite man's intellect . None of us can understand the nature of the Godhead. It is beyond us all, and arguing over details is...

I agree with everything you posted here, not sure of what you were pointing to though?

The principle title that stands as criteria for identifying Christ, and for knowing Him which is essential for salvation, is the title, Son of God. Which identity the apostle John went to great pains to prove in the face of many heresies which were creeping into the church, some of which are...

You haven't explained the point you are attempting to make. But as far as the Scripture in question, I have no issues with it. Not being a traditional or Orthodox trinitarian, I have no problem with scriptures that declare the Father having authority over His Son, and being the source of life...

John wrote his gospel and his letters at a time when many false ideas were circulating among the Christian community. John wrote in order to dispel those false ideas, and to prove one prime truth concerning Jesus. "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and...

John’s gospel was the first systematic theology to deal with Christ’s ‘Sonship’. Although written by John, it is not a human theology. It is a divine theology. It was God Himself, through the Holy Spirit, who led John to write as he did. John’s gospel is very different to the gospels of Matthew...

Has he, that is good. What has Rubio said... How is he responding?

Why? Is there something about us you maybe are unaware of? Maybe because it isn't there in the Greek? Indeed you have, and I am sure you are well aware of the numerous theologians, biblicists and scholars who have, since the NWT was first published less than 80 years ago, who have offered many...

One can carry things that can be turned into weapons when needed. A walking stick. An umbrella. Steel capped shoes. Faith in God in any defense of family and neighbor. But Britain has gone insane in its implementing of laws. The recent incident where a man indecently assaulted a young girl...

I don't think Jehovah Witnesses are in a position to criticize the KJV considering their leaders butchering of the Greek texts in order to justify their theological biases . John 1:1 and Zechariah 12:10 are classic examples. Criticism of the KJV on the basis of archaic language is petty and...

Do you really believe modern Israelis are direct descendants of those "lost" northern tribes scattered by Assyria 2,700 years ago? Nope
