First of all, do you read Greek? Second Jesus is mentioned by name, associated with whom John was talking about the whole time, not until verse 36. Jesus, by name is mentioned by John the baptist in verse 17. Point? That there is NO point to mentioning "Word" without acknowledging by...

These parts of discussion leave me believing you've a ways to go in your learning and are probably fairly young in age. My question was whether your 'theology' does any damage to the rest of the Bible. It was asking if you acknowledge the Lord Jesus was with God the Father before any of...

You are arguing with the priest that said my dear friend was still in the ground....and I like it. According to him, you and I are both wrong. I realize you see no difference, but realize most Reformed/Evangelical will. They see it as 'praying to' those ones, rather than 'asking them for...

Two points: 1) Acts 11:26 - your first 'fact' isn't then irrefutable. You are making odd, wild, and roughly insignificant statements. Are you sure you are a NW leader capable of being a JW spokesman? Do you even want to be? What if you are wrong and I can show you problems? Are you...

There is a large disconnect between asking prayer from someone living, and asking for prayer from those who have passed on, between Catholic and Protestant prayer theology. Oddly, a good number of priests have said most 'sleep' thus cannot hear until Christ raises them (not a point of...

It is odd for you to say, because you literally believe Jesus is a 'created' copy, meaning 2 gods. Unitarians are the polytheists here. I always know when you guys don't get us. You've said you 'used to be' one of us, but you really weren't when you don't grasp we are VERY STRICTLY...

...which he cannot read. :doh:

More specifically and destructively, it is polytheism against God: Exodus 20:3 "Hear O Israel, the Lord, Our God is One." Deuteronomy 6:4 Isaiah 45:5 "I alone am the Lord, beside me, there is no other god!" Hosea 13:4 Isaiah 43: 11 "I am the Lord, there is no other Savior. You shall know of...

It does, as any man-made fabrication against scriptural, grammatical clarity, does. Your truth is man-made immature rationalization, not the explicit word. You don't understand something very important about us: our theology isn't as deductive, thus isn't as complex as Arian/Unitarian models...

Yet He had glory 'with His Father' before the earth was formed (Colossians 1:15-20 'by Him' incidentally). Does your narrative account for all of scripture revelation? If not, it isn't going to be accurate, just a postulated idea that scripture can show wrong. What do you mean? Link please...

I know you do. You shouldn't because you actually don't have the where-with-all, but yeah, I knew that about you. Old people who can no longer change often do. It isn't by any necessity a 'good' thing that you feel comfortable. I feel more so because I've studied, longer, harder, with...

"You're..." Miltha is the Aramaic word for "word." Do I have to be smart or simply well-read? You aren't doing anything special, and certainly aren't teaching anybody anything. If you were a good teacher, I'd have converted 10 years ago if it were true. Plain and simply, it is ALL...

Nope. You don't know anything else about God and this is your one-trick pony that completely misses the ball. You don't know languages, certainly don't know creed histories or the assembly involved in making them and are ignorant of what Trinitarians actually believe as well. I have a...

I generally don't do that in these threads, because it always amounts to banter. I have "Our Triune God" as a thread specifically to avoid the banter and just post scripture (some of your posts on His Triune nature would be welcome over there). The reason is simply this: Scripture, thus God...

He is rationalizing instead of being informed by scripture: "The Word 'became' flesh and 'made' His dwelling among us." John 1:14 In theology, do we want scripture, or some old guy's thoughts he cobbled together and think are gold? 🤔 Those who love God will ONLY be persuaded by God...
