And here again, the stamp, the appeal once again to Ad hominems - bad exegete? I will just repeat saying, such does not make your teaching to stand to be the truth, for even if a false teacher reasons with a bad exegete does not make his teaching true.
That is your opinion. But by just keep saying that does not make it true. Now, I am not expecting that you can make your case with scriptures, for such opinion is based on human wisdom or thinking and not on scriptures.
It is not true that I have done absolutely nothing to defend or substantiate my position. My post #367 to which you replied bears witness to the fact that I have shown you scriptural truth that shows that Christ is the almighty God, which you have not even lifted a finger to try to refute, even while I repeatedly posted them for you to address. And I will post them once again here and but this time print them in bold and big and colored fonts so you won't miss them the nth time:
It had been shown to you in scriptures, the prophecy of Isaiah concerning the messenger who will prepare the way of the Lord, that is, God (Yahweh); and it had been shown to you in scriptures, the fulfillment of such prophecy in the prophet John the baptist, being the messenger, and in the Christ, Jesus, being the Lord, whose way John the baptist prepared for. But you just keep rejecting that. Not that it is not written in scriptures, but because human wisdom tells you that it is foolishness. Refute that if you must, if at all it is possible for anyone to refute the truth taught in scriptures.
It had been shown to you also in scriptures that God is the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. Is there another God like Him? Is there another King of kings other than God? Is there another Lord of lords other than God? Such titles are ultimate, meaning there could only be one King of kings and only be one Lord of Lords. And it had been shown to you in scriptures that Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of Lords. And you again reject the truth that such teaches, not that it is not written in scriptures, but because human wisdom tells you that it is foolishness. Refute that if you must, if at all it is possible for anyone to refute the truth taught in scriptures.
Should I go on? Perhaps, you can first address those properly, not with Ad Hominems I hope nor with any excuses nor by saying the same things that your human wisdom tells you as absurdities. I told you truth taught in scriptures, not things taught by human wisdom.
And perhaps also, you can now also honestly answer the simple questions which you just ignored:
1. Who do you say created all things that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers?
2. Who do you say is before all things?
3. In whom do you say all things consist?
So there, go ahead, address the questions and refute the arguments, if you can.
Because your opinion is based on human wisdom or thinking, that I quoted scriptures that talks about those considered by the world as the wise, who use human wisdom in determining the truth. And now you refer to such people as fools? You surprised me by that. Does not your opinion comes from human wisdom or thinking?
You apparently seek for wisdom behind the truth that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, as did the Greeks in Paul's day seek wisdom behind the message of the cross. But if what you seek is God's wisdom and not human wisdom in the truth that Jesus Christ God in the flesh, you should not expect to see it by looking at human wisdom, for what you'll see there is foolishness. If you want to see the wisdom of God about that, you will have to look it up in God's words, in scriptures.
