At Matthew 13: 24-30, Jesus talks about the wheat and the weeds. The weeds are imitation Christians. These weeds right from the beginning have as their ruler, Satan the Devil. So they were never Gods true servants, but they will honestly believe they are true servants of the true God, and these...

magenta said, Was NWT an oversight on your part, or deliberately left off the list? The word "a" was added, in any case. So it has nothing to do with me blaming and judging anything unless you call proper hermeneutics such. I would call it discretion/discernment. To each their own, I suppose...

I didn't mention the new world translation in my post, and the translations I did mention were translated before the new world translation came out. So like I said for centuries scholars and translators have debated and disagreed how John 1:1 is to be translated. You can blame and judge JW and...

What I realize is that people make their choices what they're going to believe. I've stated several times that I know there are translations of the Bible that translate John 1:1 as, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. But I've also said in such as in...

I've already mentioned this, at least I thought I had, and many disagreed with it. That is there right and choice of course. But maybe I'm wrong and I didn't mention it before as I thought. So in case I'm wrong and I haven't mentioned this before, I'll state it again. The apostle John...

Kroogz said Colossians 2:9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily

As I said I have no problem with someone disagreeing with me, that's their right, no person should be judged or persecuted for disagreeing with someone. I don't give people warnings, either, because too many people are judging people with what they say is a warning, but actually isn't. I just...

I go by a Bible that's in the modern English language of today. That means I use not just one English version of the Bible. I also used the king James version when I was growing up. I agree that I didn't agree with some interpretations they have for some scriptures that imperfect men said I had...

You can judge other imperfect people of whatever religion you like, that's your right I guess. However, I know that what you mean when you say, "just read the Bible for what it says," you mean as long as when I do read the Bible for what it says, that I agree with you and those like you who...

I don't let other imperfect humans dictate to me what translation of the Bible I'm going to use. Other humans are imperfect humans like me and can be wrong about what they believe the correct translation is.

I believe that we must harmonize Jesus words with other scripture. Numerous scriptures show that Jesus didn't raise himself from the dead, but that he was resurrected by YHWH God his Father.(Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 15:15; Ephesians 1:20) So how I would view John 2:19 is by examining the...

I know therefore believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, so no I don't agree that Jesus is God. The Gospel account by John particularly emphasizes Jesus prehuman existence as "the Word" and explains that "the Word became flesh/human and resided among us, and we had a view of his...

I believe the Word to be the only begotten Son of God, so when the scripture says the Word became flesh, I believe it was the only begotten Son of God who became flesh/human. The only begotten Son of God name was Jesus he was/is the Messiah, he came to sacrifice his human life for mankind so...
