Great analysis!

Notice how the Scriptural verse is personal, not political? Politically, Christendom's churches have always supported their nation's governments makes sense from a Scriptural and patriotic perspective.

I kind of think this could be a book.

In other thread, a poster said I was arrogant but this sentiment takes the cake. Nice Appeal to Ad Homenim. If you don't see it my way, you don't have God's Spirit! Wow.

Not at all my friends. I just read chapter 1 from the perspective of his stated purpose of his gospel, which is to prove something ELSE other than what you are using it for. The mystical dualists like you, don't think there is anything wrong with re-purposing John's words.

You reject the trinity too, right? So, we all got that going for us. ;)

LOL. ‘There is only one God, the Father’. This is deconstruction for you? Still not able to produce anything like ‘Jesus is God’, huh?

Therefore, everyone believes not all the times the word ‘word’ is used in Scripture, it refers to Jesus. I include John 1:1 to that list.

And most of all, defy the explicit word of God. The latest rant I’ve seen several times in the last couple of days is the denial of mutual exclusivity and proof by contradiction; they deny Jesus saying his God is the only true God does not mean Jesus is not God.

I guess I struck a nerve there. Since I agreed with Rich, it can’t be all MY word about the topic. :p

Really? Genesis 37:4 New Living Translation 4 But his brothers hated Joseph because their father loved him more than the rest of them. They couldn’t say a kind word to him.

Neither. A trinitarian scholar is a trinitarian with enough academic training to realize some of the verses layman rely on to support the dogma are not valid for one reason or another. They still believe in the trinity.

It’s sad and telling that so many continue to rely on a bad translation AFTER it has been pointed out to them.

Do you believe every use of the word "word" in Scripture refers to Jesus?

Nope. Still him/his.

No, of course not.

What is silly is you pretending WHAT’s are WHO’s. If FDR’s words come out of my mouth, it does not make me FDR.

An example I use often is what day Adam was made compared to what day Eve was made. I think this rather mundane question mirrors the more provocative question of who God is and who God is not. Most people recognize the day of Adam’s creation is explicit in Scripture. Therefore, it is not too...

Well, I understand figurative speech. Speech flows from a speaker.

No. First there was God, who created his words.
