    Want To Reconnect With A Forum

    Many town planners are civil engineers, so thinking along those lines is on the right track. Civil engineers are specialized problem solvers. We design and often provide construction oversight for things like roads, bridges, dams, water treatment plants, hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste...

    Why "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!?"

    That’s not how agency works. The agent is expressly someone who is not the principal but is considered to be. “Remarkable” isn’t the word I would use in my response, if I were going to choose a word to respond with. The first coming of the Messiah (the agent) was a few years before the 1st...

    That’s excellent. I hope for @ShineTheLight that the administrative staff at the forum he’s trying to return to will have the same attitude and exercise the same compassion and good judgement.

    Want To Reconnect With A Forum

    I’m not sure if @ShineTheLight posted under the old account or not but I have the feeling that he either did or might have. (It was wiped out, apparently, and the newly created account not used.) Most forums have a standard rule against a person having more than one active account, and I think...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    God and Messiah. Yahweh and Jesus. Father and Son. Principal and agent. Deity and man. God was in Messiah. Yahweh was in Jesus. Father was in Son. Principal was in agent. Deity was in man. The purpose: reconciliation. Reconciliation of the world to whom? Yahweh.

    Biblical mandate!

    “Diet and exercise” is my physician’s mantra.

    Biblical mandate!

    Your comment reminded me of the hook Dr. Trish Leigh uses in counseling with people who have addictions: “Control your brain or it will control you.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 is the first passage,of scripture that sprang to mind.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    I hope you succeed in landing the job you’re looking for. I gave up debating in the early 00’s. It’s a lose-lose proposition, as far as I’m concerned. Dialogue, in my opinion, is the way to go. I’m happy to hear that. That’s a win-win proposition in my book.

    Why "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!?"

    To come in the name of someone is to come as someone’s agent or representative.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Some unitarians do and some unitarians don’t. (I don’t.)

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    God can do anything that is in keeping with his character. He can have the job done, any job done, by the agency of a man.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    A man has done the job. This is something all Christians should be able to agree on.

    Please tell me about them, if you’re of a mind to.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Something and / or someone caused them to think differently. What and / or who was it?

    Can’t find a verse of importance

    Welcome to the forums. If you can’t find it in a KJV Concordance nor by using a KJV search engine then you’re probably paraphrasing the passage you’re looking for.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    “1. In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. 2. This same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. 4. In it was life, and that life was the light of men. 5. And that light shineth in...
