    True, but Jesus isn't speaking in verse 7, John is. As I mentioned, Jesus interrupts John in verse 8. Well, I guess we can agree to disagree on this one. Thayer also says: "used absolutely, of the beginning of all things", "that by which anything begins to be, the origin, active cause". As...

    Okay, let's begin. Verse 8 states "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." This verse interrupts John’s narrative and the opening theme of the Book of Revelation. It's an interjection of thought by Jesus...

    I don't deny the diety of Christ, I deny that Christ is God Almighty. There's a difference.

    The man Christ Jesus provided his perfect human life as a ransom or corresponding price for Father Adam. Because a perfect man [Adam] sinned, it would take the life of a perfect man to take Adam’s place under the penalty of death and hence, provide mankind with an opportunity for salvation...

    I did read the article, all 20 plus pages, and I've read dozens of others just like it. I have a dozen books on my shelf by renown theologians on the doctrine of the trinity, NONE of them have convince me. So yes, we're done. See you in the Kingdom.

    A nature he left behind when he came to earth, not as a God-Man but as fully human, it's the only way he could be a ransom. a life for a life.

    The problem is .... I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, it's what He said He was. What I deny is that Jesus is God the Son. There's a difference.

    Actually, what he asked was "“I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!” So why do you need to add "and" as if he was asking him 2 questions? In NONE of the dozes of translations, does it read that way. Again, I don't what translation you're using...

    Trinity

    Okay, let's examine some of our Lord’s statements on this to see if they can be harmonized. In Matthew 17:22, 23, Jesus said, speaking of his approaching death: “The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again.” (See...

    Hmmm ... yes, this is one of those verses often used in an attempt to prove the Trinity doctrine. Let's notice Thomas didn't mention the holy Spirit. He would have needed to do so for this verse to sustain any Trinity connotation. Failing in this, it becomes, at best, a stool with only two...

    bluto, Jesus was the son of God, he came down to earth was born a man and died for our sins, about his death and resurrection, he ascended to heaven where he sits at the right hand of God. We worship Jesus because the scriptures tell us so. (Romans 1:3-5; 1 Cor. 15:3; Acts 2:33)

    So the pre-human Jesus was a man of flesh? He was never a spirit being?

    Scholars such as F. C. Conybeare1 have claimed that the Trinitarian baptismal formula of Matthew 28:19 was not original to the text of Matthew. (F.C. Conybeare, "The Eusebian Form of the Text of Mt. 28:19," ZNW 2 (1901): 275-88.) Here's a treatise you may want to look at: The Change of the...

    1 John 5:7 reads "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." In case you weren't aware. this verse is spurious, meaning it doesn't exist in the earliest manuscripts. Do some research and you will find that the correct...
