Because of death, we appreciate life all the more. I often wonder why people are so cruel to each other. I guess hurt people, hurt people. And on that note, Jerry's son has been a rock, giving his mother morphine and soaking a paper towel to wet her lips to minimize dehydration. Today, Jerry's...

I have no questions. Jesus is not God. There are 1,000’s of proofs with the biggest one being that Jesus died and the Bible says that God (in his unitarian nature) raised Jesus from the dead.

Alone is in the VOICE translation. And Joel 2:27 says the same thing with ‘and there is no other.’ Moses: 4 Listen, Israel! The Eternal is our True God—He alone.

This was said over 2,000 years ago in The Art of War by Sun Tsu

I discern the difference. It’s not that you didn’t put enough into the OP; you put too much. After 5 paragraphs, I generally stop reading due to time constraints. Try more bit sized posts. I love your enthusiasm and testimony! Today, I’m dealing with an 85 yo about to lose his wife of 63...

Welcome to the forum.

That’s it? Pretend I did not ask about a particular verse. Just divert attention to verses you prefer? Good day sir.

From the thread I started on prayer for an 85-yo friend whose wife is dying today, I was looking at the topical index under grief and found this. The first sentence is definitive, isn't it, that God - in his unitarian nature - is the God and Father of Jesus? Compare it to this sentence...

Jerry talked a lot about how unexpected it was. We explained how it was a blessing compared to the alternative of her enduring pain and suffering and loneliness in a hospital.

A number of years ago I befriended an old man at the YMCA. We became close. He's like a surrogate father to me now. At one point, his wife said that I am now a friend of the family. At 85 yo, she has suffered from dementia, incontinence and cannot walk and can barely stand. Looming large in my...

This reminds me of a Marvel movie where Thor complained to Odin that he lost his hammer. Odin replied, “You are not the god of hammers. You are the god of thunder.’

Yea, less humbling than conceding a point, you just go from one verse to another hoping something trinitarian sticks from unitarian text.

No. Not all non-squares are rectangles. It is a non-literal expression meaning you have his support or it is on your side. This is what Darth Vader said to Luke, “The Force is with you, young Skywalker.”

Totally untrue! The Bible has many examples of God lying starting with Adam and Eve, Pharaoh and even ordering others to lie. 1 Kings 22:21-22. When God 'hardened' Pharaoh's heart, it meant he deceived Pharaoh from his own good judgement. Deception is a vital part of warfare and make no...

Wow! Language usage is not your strength. Many companies and countries have president's. If you are referring to a particular leader, the general noun becomes a proper noun as in President Trump. The same with Lord Vader. Lord Voldemort. Lord Cornwallis. When the entire word is capitalized...

No. The LORD can directly be lord over others or delegate that burden. Mostly, he delegates. So, while the LORD can be a lord, other lords cannot be the LORD. It's like rectangles and squares. :-)

One of many flaws in the obsolete KJV.

Jesus himself said the Apostles would perform even more and bigger miracles than he had. Many people worked miracles in the Bible. My pastor a few months ago went into the story of how Elisha caused an alter to catch fire after the false prophets failed. Also, he said a jar would last in a poor...

Assert what is not there all you want. I'll stick to what is there. God, in his unitarian nature, raised Jesus from the dead. It is delusional to pretend the verse merely says Father.

Right. Same as me UNEQUIVOCALLY saying I would get my wife a cup of coffee. It does not change the fact that someone else actually got my wife coffee or someone else actually raised Jesus from the dead. I know you do not want to discern the difference. In today's devotional reading I came...
