    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    No, not if those Persons are the Father and the Son (along with the third, the Holy Spirit). Yes... LOL! No, personhood and essence are two different things; some refuse, or ignore, the distinction between the two. The Athanasian Creed's opening lines are, and I quote: "Now this is the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    You are perfectly entitled to your opinion. It bothers me not. AHHH!!! You GOOGLED them! Yeah, so they must be fact. I see... :) Yeah, the great thing about the internet is that you can find anything. But the terrible thing about the internet is (also) that you can find anything. :)...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    LOL! I'm not. But, as I'm sure you know, not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel (Romans 9:6). LOL! Well, judging from your citations from Romans 9 and 11, it seems we are absolutely agreed that this remnant is the same group as Paul calls God's elect. Yes, I'm sure it is...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    You're understanding of it is an opinion. We will certainly agree that it does differentiate between the Father and the Son, that they are distinct Persons. But what the nature of that differentiation really is, Keiw, is another question, and there are, obviously, differing opinions on that...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    God is certainly saving a remnant unto Himself, and this remnant will eventually number as the dust of the earth (Genesis 13:16), as the stars of heaven (Genesis 15:4, 22:17), as the sand that is on the seashore (Genesis 22:17), as He promised Abram/Abraham, and Jacob (Israel) in Genesis...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    That Jehovah is not triune. That is the absurdity, and the apostasy ~ "God is not God." I most wholeheartedly agree that YHVH is a single all powerful entity. Hey, facetiously speaking ~ yet indicative of a much greater truth ~ if I root for one football team, I root for every single player...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    In Jesus's time on earth, He laid aside ~ discounted fully, for a time ~ His deity for man's sake, and in that state, Jesus, the Father was Jesus's God. "That is so ugly," says the blind man. Oh, my. So Paul is writing to the Corinthians here, of course, and he is agreeing with what the...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    No one should ever ask themselves anything after having presumed a Scriptural absurdity? Except to just reject any "answer" deduced out of hand because the presumption is a Scriptural absurdity, of course. Yes, but we both knew where this was going. Rest assured that whatever you think of...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    No, it doesn't, Keiw. I respect your opinion, but no, it doesn't. Christ Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This statement is a contradiction in and of itself. YHVH is certainly King of eternity, past and future. He does not resume ~ as if He's given it up for any length of...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Well I'm not Kermos, and he can speak for himself, but I'm guessing the answer is no. In Jesus's emptied state as a man (in the form of man), it became true, but in His state as God the Son, it was, is, and always will be true... from everlasting (eternity past) to everlasting (eternity...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    "HUH???" :) The question I asked ("Why is there a comma between 'Simon Peter' and 'a slave' in the first part of 2 Peter 1?" ~ the NWT has a comma there... which is fine, really...) was a rhetorical one, Aunty Jane ~ the point of which you obviously either avoided or totally missed. And to...

    Scripture challenge!

    Sola Scriptura simply means that all truth necessary for our salvation and spiritual life is taught either explicitly or implicitly in Scripture. It is not a claim that all truth of every kind is found in Scripture, nor is it a claim that no truth can be found anywhere else other than in...

    revisited remastered PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE ?

    And there is a difference between the nature of the tribulation near the end of the age from all the tribulation leading up to it; it will be of a much greater scope than any preceding ("...then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    Nothing; that's not what I'm saying... and precisely opposite to what I have said, actually. They are distinct Persons (entities), and each has a distinct purpose. This what is very clear in John 14. But they all, together, in perfect unity, are one with each other ~ each in the other and the...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    Right. They are two distinct Persons, the Father and the Son, but both members of the (one) triune Jehovah (the Holy Spirit being the third). Jesus Himself is very clear regarding this throughout his teaching in John 13-17, particularly John 14. No, but it was written to state, throughout...

    revisited remastered PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE ?

    God never promises to remove us from trial or tribulation, but only to walk with us through it. As Psalm 23, says: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me...

    revisited remastered PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE ?

    There is no pre-tribulation rapture. Grace and peace to you.

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    Agreed. But so, even in the same verse, why does the New World Translation have a comma inserted between "Simon Peter" and "a slave and servant"? Why is that, AJ? :) But to the point under discussion here, the English Standard Version (ESV) reads, "...by the righteousness of our God and...

    Should Revelation Even Be In The Bible?

    Martin Luther did not reject Revelation at all. But when he first translated and published the New Testament, he thought that Revelation should not have the same status or authority as the gospels or the letters of Paul or Peter, so he put it at the end. Revelation was, to his mind, so far...
