@Flash_Garrett I wish you could have retired as a Browns player and I hope you consider it when that time comes even if on a 1-day contract. You really made it a little easier to suffer through Sundays before they sold the farm for… never mind, enjoy sunnier days and a Lombardi.
@MindsetMoody In John’s gospel - Jesus says his Father dwells in him and does his works and the only entity to dwell in Jesus was the Spirit. - Jhn 14:10; 1:32
Before the Word became flesh, Elijah addressed the Word the way as he did the LORD in 1 Kings 19:9-14.
@OhioStAthletics Slide sooner buddy … good game though … but for real, slide sooner.
Can’t wait for the rematch - one loss in the new playoff setup ain’t anything to be mad about against a top-5 team.
Ryan Day … next time run the ball and call the time out to kick the fg for the dub.
@pastoremase Scripture says an overseer and deacon are both a “one-woman man.”
So whether your capacity is overseeing the flock or serving the flock - fidelity in marriage is a must.
There are qualifications - once those are transgressed against, that person then becomes disqualified.
@SethL_intheWord@Possiblyinabit@NancyAFrench For a Christian, there is no choice between “two evils.”
A lesser evil is still evil.
Either Trump is an exemplary servant of God, worthy of Christian support, or he is not - despite whoever might spew vitriol at Christians.
@YoungSaint316@Ameen_HGA He doesn’t. He uses masculine terms as identifiers while saying through Paul that there is ‘neither male nor female.’
Him employing masculine identifiers doesn’t mean he’s assigning a gender to himself.
Jesus ascribed maternal traits to himself in scripture - but he was a man.
@CCWoodward3@Ameen_HGA Languages do not work the way you’re proposing. If they did, then Hosea 1:10 means God only has “sons” and no daughters.
In Hebrew “Spirit” is feminine and not neuter.
This requires a more nuanced explanation than simply “God is masculine.”
@777ODR @SpiritofourLord 1 Corinthians 10:28 helps you understand “without raising questions of conscience” means do not ask if it’s sacrificed to an idol.
But if you’re told that it is sacrificed to an idol by the person offering the meal - don’t eat it.
Otherwise, freely eat with thanksgiving.
God did not repeat “I Am” or “ego eimi” as his name to Moses.
He told Moses “He Who Is,” that is, “ho on” was his name to Moses.
The ONLY time God’s actual name, “He Who Is,” is said in the New Testament is in the book of Revelation.
And it’s mistakenly said to be Christ.
In Revelation 6:16, 17 the Father (“him who is seated on the throne”) and Son (“the Lamb”) are solely depicted as having a “day of their wrath.”
As the “3rd person of the Trinity,” why is the Holy Spirit absent here - let alone in much of this book?
Messiah also prayed that we become one as he and the Father are - and that we join them in their oneness. - Jn 17:21
If the goalpost doesn’t move - we’re all God once in the body.
Or, an erroneous doctrine has been passed down for centuries.
My money is on the goalpost moving.
@JusDowntown@LostHebrew_Dre Contextually, his form was equal to God’s.
Why use such a roundabout way of saying “…Jesus: who, being God…”?
Paper and ink was expensive and hard to come by then.
Words were used carefully to not waste either resource. Something else is being communicated here.
@coffeexlunch@LostHebrew_Dre@JusDowntown That’s not how it works.
God in Greek is Theos which is also used for YHWH in the Septuagint.
Satan is YHWH.
According to 1 Corinthians 8:6 this means there are many YHWHs and many Jesus’s.
@JusDowntown@drewnegus This is at best a dual-prophecy.
It applied to an actual child born into them in that present day and not a far-off savior.
The same as with the “Emmanuel” prophecy.
If it doesn’t make the child born then God, it doesn’t make Jesus God either.
