    Why do not some understand that the Bible teaches that Jesus is God?

    Revelation 1:8 isn't talking about Jesus, it's talking about Jehovah. And it doesn't mention the term omnipotent. What, exactly does that mean? At Matthew 28:18 who gave Jesus the authority? Himself? No. Neither Jehovah nor Jesus are omnipresent. God's position is fixed in heaven. There would...

    For Christians Only: The Big Picture

    You don't remember me? I haven't posted in a few months. We have had many conversations. I have never been a JW, but I have studied with them, have family that are and am myself heavily influenced by their teachings. I pretty much agree with everything you said, as I usually do.

    The Relativity of God

    Not sure I know what you are looking for but the Hebrew word for spirit is ruach. The Greek pneuma (i.e. pneumonia / pneumatic). They can also be translated as wind, breath. Jehovah God is a spirit being.

    Why do not some understand that the Bible teaches that Jesus is God?

    Okay, but it's also irrelevant. Okay? I may personally believe that you are Elvis beaming his thoughts to us from some distant location in outer space. It means nothing. It certainly doesn't make it true.

    Why do not some understand that the Bible teaches that Jesus is God?

    Well, see the thing is that it's easy to make a simple statement and attach a scripture to it seemingly projecting your personal beliefs which come from Plato instead of the Bible. A brief examination of each of the above demonstrates you to have done that instead of making any accurate...

    Why do not some understand that the Bible teaches that Jesus is God?

    No it doesn't. At all. It's a pagan concept, unsupported by scripture.

    Who Are You?

    Fair enough. Is there any evidence to the contrary?

    Who Are You?

    That the physical body doesn't necessarily constitute the self entirely. We are more than our physical, immediately observable physical forms. [ETA] I just realized that you may have been asking about the point I made regarding resurrection. That is similar in that we are not resurrected in our...

    For Christians Only: The Big Picture

    Are you trying to establish that the literal serpent is man's evil heart, a beast of the field? Also, what makes you think that being a god necessarily constitutes wisdom?

    Who Are You?

    Ultimately it isn't observable in true nature, apparently. I'm only speculating out of curiosity. If there is a metaphysical instruction there I'm most likely missing it. Thus the curiosity. The me, no mater if the physical body or some other manifestation of the self wouldn't be observable or...

    Who Are You?

    Excellent point. Recently I made a similar point regarding the Biblical resurrection.

    Who Are You?

    According to the process called neti neti apparently I'm not me because I can observe me. On the other hand I can't be someone else because . . . well, you get the picture . . . the picture you can observe so perhaps I'm not that as well.

    For Christians Only: The Big Picture

    I agree completely. But you see, they are fed up because of what they aren't getting out of it, rather than anything else. Again. In the purest sense I agree with this, but as I said, the fact that you specified Christians only is what fascinated me about your post. Those seeing the big...

    For Christians Only: The Big Picture

    I don't call myself a Christian for various reasons. But I would like to address your question because it fascinated me on some profound levels. The simple answer to your question, namely, "How is the real Father found and the happy reunion foretold in Revelation brought about" on a scope which...

    Okay. Good luck with reforming the Muslims then.

    Question for Anti-Trump Democrats

    True, but why make that political party distinction? It going to be the same if it's Trump or Sponge Bob Square Pants. It's just a distraction while what you say is going on is going on.

    Prophecies?

    Good advice, though, you do realize that they thought the same thing about . . . fill in the blank.
