If God is never wrong about anything, then why does the Bible state that he regretted creating human beings as well as every animal, every creature that creeps on the ground, and the birds of the air (Genesis 6:6-7)? There are other scriptures in the Bible that highlight his other regrets in...
When I was a street preacher, I used to remind other Christians of 1 Peter 3:15–16 whenever they treated atheists with contempt, which frequently included false accusations of hating and/or rebelling against God, as well as extremely sarcastic remarks whenever any atheist attempted to reason...
Feeling of saying is that God is NOT the man/body which is made up of flesh and bones.
Feeling of saying is that God is the divinity which is lightining inside a cretain body.
You seem to have left out the full quotes and so miss what is being said, but also there is nothing there which says that the Son of God cannot become a man, and still be the Son of God.
I agree with you. I use to make this argument all of the time but many Christians insist that Jesus is God still. I've read the entire Tanakh too.
JPS Hebrew-English Tanakh 1999. 2,023 pages
God I see an idea. Not a man. And that idea varies around and within a common theme. That common theme being the mystery source, sustenance, and purpose of all that is. Including mankind.
That’s correct and I think it’s important to realize that the scriptures reveal God as an eternal Personal Spiritual Being. Does that mean that God cannot enter into human flesh if it serves His purpose and plan for the redemption of His human creation?
Numbers 23
"God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent:
when He hath said, will He not do it? or when He hath spoken, will He not make it good?"
You seem to quote verses partly, why?
Why is the role of 'neighter' before 'the son of man' ?
What does it...
OT: 1Samuel15:3 "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***."
NT: Matthew 5:39-40 "But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn...
No, God is not human.
Most of the problem arises around the allegation that [he] made humans in [his] own image ─ and of course no one knows quite what that means.
It isn't repetition within the same book or same chapter. There is some trouble with just leaving this as is. Numbers 23 is a quote from Baalam (a shady character), and there are instances in various books in which humans are called gods. 1Samuel is a story about a king who may not even be...
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man...nor a son of man.
1Samuel15:29 for he is not a man
Hosea 11:9 I am God and not a man
Job 9:32 For he is not a man
So four times, FOUR, the Tanakh repeats the same teaching. Wouldn't you think that makes it rather important?
It does state that we are gods, made in gods image, and that man became one of. So, in this context we are god and gods and part of the trinity as children. Truth.
I have nothing in particular against Jesus -- he was a nice Jewish man. But I see no reason to "believe in him."
To start with, we really know very little about him. The four gospels are basically collections of legends about him that had grown up orally in the decades after his death. So...
