So the CONTEXT in which you are calling humans, ‘Gods’, is that of JUDGES.
This is true.
But there are other contexts in which which even inanimate objects can be called ‘God/s’.
In humanity, in the angelic realm, a God is one who is a ‘Hero’(Heroic), Mighty, Majestic, Glorious in power and...
The cross of my Lord Jesus and the resurrection story. It is because I feel so unworthy before my God and feel so grateful that he would care so much for me. I feel humbled and amazed at this and the many blessings given to me that are too many to count.
My favorites are the book of Job old testament and revelations in the New testament. Overall I prefer reading the stories of new testament to the old testament.
I want to talk about the Bible as a piece of literature for this thread. Forget for a second that there is religions formed around the Bible. Suppose it to be a magnificent piece of literature (which in my opinion, it is).
What is your favorite prose or story arc from the Bible?
An easy way...
You ignored everyrhing that was bolded , again..
You ignore also this in Revelation 3
"These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars."
"These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he...
Your source is not the best. It neglects to mention that sometimes Elohim can be singular, to refer to the One God. Any website that makes that serious of an error should really be avoided.
I wish you all the luck
No , i would rather stick with the knowledge of the Bible, and use also other methods to determine how reliable are your claims.
There is nothing wrong to distance yourself from the comfortable position.
It is the best way to test your mind.
You think Britanica will...
It’s funny and strange how you profess a unity of God and Son of God as a TRINITY (an invented word in regards to a ONE GOD!) yet EXCLUDE the claimed THIRD ENTITY… a Holy Spirit!!
You use, ‘Baptise [people of God?] in the name of … the unity … the trinity’ since you claim all three NAMES are...
In the above context, as seen before, “The Name” is in the neuter, so Jesus said, it is within the “Name”: “in (within) the name of my Father” (John 10:25).
It fulfills the prophecy of Zechariah 14:9: “The LORD will be King over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be one, and His name...
Yes it does. "Fail." "Pay better attention" (I hope you don't mind reading your own words)
The ancient Hebrew cosmology depicts a flat disc-shaped earth resting on pillars above water (the Tehom) with the heavens (shamayim) above, the sky (firmament), earth (eres) in the middle, and the...
Oh boy, that’s a great one….
Didn’t Jesus say that Peter was the rock?
And doesn’t the name, Peter, mean, ‘The Rock’?
So… it was Peter, that was in the wilderness??
It was not the Son anointing Himself or God anointing Himself, as you mischaracterize. It was the Father anointing His Son, who became flesh in the Person of Jesus Christ. This anointing by the Father of His Son, for His earthly mission, in no way diminishes the the Godhood of Jesus.
In the OT...
In Isaiah 66:22 it is certainly YHVH because that's what the text says.
כִּ֣י כַֽאֲשֶׁ֣ר הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם הַֽ֠חֳדָשִׁים וְהָאָ֨רֶץ הַֽחֲדָשָׁ֜ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲנִ֥י עֹשֶׂ֛ה עֹֽמְדִ֥ים לְפָנַ֖י נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה כֵּ֛ן יַֽעֲמֹ֥ד זַרְעֲכֶ֖ם וְשִׁמְכֶֽם
"For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am...
During the 2nd Temple Period the Persians occupied Israel. Many of the myths in Christianity are from the Persian religion. The rest are from the other occupying nation, Greek.
And of course Jewish theology as well.
Satan as an enemy of God is also Persian. In the OT Satan and Yahweh work...
What's wrong with the trachea preceding the esophagus? Rabbi Yitzhak speaks (during a meal no less) as though it's a well-established law that the trachea shant preseed (so to say) the esophagus (Deuteronomy 31:21; 1Samuel2:3; Matthew 15:18; Revelation 16:13)?
Since, in the five verses where...
Luke
Luke begins by talking about John the Baptist, then Jesus. He follows this by imitating the prayer of Hannah on Mary's lips. Therefore in Luke it happens that John the Baptist is like Samuel, and Jesus is like David. All of this happens in the first two chapters of Luke.
Luke asserts...
Reading incidents in the OT and calling them Yahweh acting out because someone upset Him just indicates our willingness to condemn even in the face of our ignorance, and indicates our willingness to not try to understand the bigger issues at stake in what God has done.
