Elohim is often defined as meaning "the plural one." It is amusing to watch Jewish scholars try to explain this away a 'la: "Frequently the word Elohim (the Hebrew word for God) is used to assert that God is plural. Naturally, this occurs because the word Elohim is plural in form. In Hebrew...

The name Michael, like the name Emmanuel, is simply another name for Jesus. An examination of the 5 references to Michael reveals this fact. Jude 1:9 directly calls him the “archangel” and Paul identifies Jesus as the archangel whose voice resurrects the dead (1 Thessalonians 4:16). We know for...

Wait all you like. It's complicated and I don't tutor on command. :p

IOW, you can't just be going around thoughting.

o_O Watchtower teaches that Jesus is an angel, if I'm not mistaken. I believe that Christ is the Everlasting Father, THE MIGHTY GOD. He is everything; in Him we live and move and have our being. All things were created by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. He qualifies as...

Sorry, I just don't use paradox in Scripture to put God in a box. How canst thou by searching find out God? But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

This part I don't understand, QT.

Us and them, eh? That's always helpful.

And it is not Kindom Hall doctrine.

Michael is not an angel at all. It is a faulty premise upon which to identify Him. He is the Captain of The LORD's host. At sea, "the Skipper (Captain) is 'God'." The name "Michael" means "one who is like God." Who is like God but Christ only? It is a study worth digging into. It is not settled...

It's sad that you don't seem to believe this: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)

How a mind that is supposed to be regenerate can compare allowing a pedophile to watch one's own children to consigning a person they don't even know to perdition is beyond me. Nice thread. Might as well have called it "Ding Dong, The Rapper's Dead."

I can see we're getting really close to solving this dispute. :rolleyes: Btw, @Enoch111, how is eternal security wrongly-termed OSAS? And what exactly designates it as "fundamental Gospel truth?" (besides the obvious necessity to counter-balance eternal torment)

The problem is the OPer veered away from the "primary premise," as well. Quite comfortably, it seemed, I might add. :)

John, you're not suggesting that my reporting his post was akin to aborting a child, I hope. If this fellow was seeking, he sure was doing a good job masquerading as a skeptic. He was doing more than asking questions. I don't see his spirit as being comparable to Bbyrd's at all. But I love you...

"My mother was sensitive..."

Oh, how clever! Thing is, I'm not judging you at all. I have never, in my 30+ years of keeping the Bible Sabbath, even hinted that someone was condemned for what they believe. I'm merely making observations about what the Bible teaches. I would never try to infringe upon someone else's liberty...
