Compare sexuality to the mandate to to have dominion over all the Earth. Yet, there are laws against animal abuse and those on the political Left use this as a basis for Earth day and 'saving the planet,' which implies we can use our power of dominion in ways inconsistent with our mandate. So it...

No. This is not what Scripture says. It merely says Deut 18:15-18 was fulfilled. That power, God, puts his words in the mouth of one among the people. Jesus admitted this. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. John 12:49...

You cannot answer my question with a question Jun. Do you believe no translation errors have ever been made? It's a simple yes or no. Won't take you too much time to answer.

Do you believe no translation errors have ever been made? Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your laws. Psalm 119:99

No. There is nothing mystical about the utterances of a Being. It is God’s intelligence that formed and organized the world. He achieved this by expressing words. The way you know that the word a Being utters is not mystical is that when we say those same words, such as ‘let there be light’...

Most likely? I’m asking about facts of the matter and for some reason you are answering with probabilities. ???

You can say what you want but that is not what Scripture says per Acts 18:5 or what the OP question is

This really has nothing to do with the question in the OP.

Calling something, like a word, a person is called personification. Words are WHAT’s, not WHO’s. Where I want to go with this is to demonstrate the fraud of the inherently contradictory dogma of the trinity using: Definition Logic Language Usage Scripture John 1:2 is this word not he word.

It CAN refer to a person? There is a Greek word for ‘he’ and it IS NOT houtos.

Another JW bashing thread! You seem to possess a real divisive Spirit lately. JW’s say they are Christian. They read the Bible. That’s good enough for me. I generally take people’s word on this subject. Agreed! There is not a doctrinal purity test to be saved. I don’t believe it is...

I’m big on definitions. I’ve read the soul = body + spirit. However, verses like you reference call that into question. I don’t agree with @Peterlag on this matter. And I suspect Language Usage plays a roll in the confusion. Some people use soul and spirit interchangeably even though not...

Talk about avoiding the specific by going to the general! Acts 18:5 specifically proclaims ‘the word’ is that Jesus is the Messiah, period. I’m not interested in generalities but specifics. If there is another verse where proclaiming ‘the word’ specifically means something other than that Jesus...

Evidence that John 1:2 is not referring to a person, eh? Rather it is referring to this word of god.

This is an example of why it is hard to talk to you. Jesus is specifically said to not be an angel in Hebrews and here you directly contradict Scripture AND read into text what is not there. This is just another verse that does not refer to Jesus (but an angel) but you are imposing that onto...

Jesus was not referred to in Jn 1:1. Jesus is not introduced until v14. I realize there is a difference between accuracy and precision. When people generally say, they were 'proclaiming the word' it can generally be taken to mean the word of God, to Scripture. At church we often say, let's read...

My 1st unanswered question.

Not sure why you are repeating what was already said. The question is, is there a Biblical verse that states proclaiming the word means anything other than that Jesus is the Messiah? Yes or No will suffice. If Yes, please provide those verses. Thanks!

I'm not sure what this has to do with adoptionism. No one is denying that Jesus is 'of God,' which by definition makes him divine. All that is refuted is the claim that he is a deity. Hebrews 1 calls attention to Jesus being adopted, not only by David via stepson of Joseph but by God.

Hebrews was written after the resurrection. "Today" refers to the day God resurrected his chosen suffering servant.
