GINOLJC, to all.
an image of a counterpart... OK...
Just because they are counterparts, doesn't make them close. They can be removed and joined by a chain.
or... maybe something like this...
Now the two are counterparts, but they are completely different shapes. The only thing in common are the teeth.
that's fine for an OBJECT, but here in the bible we're speaking of PERSON, and NOT objects, let me refresh your memory,
counterpart, when used as a noun, as,
A person or thing that corresponds to or
has the same function as another person or thing.
also when used as a Noun, "
Someone or something
that is identical to another", guess what another word for it means? "image". "Likness", "two of a kind", "perfect likeness", "companion". "order"
my brother, we're speaking about "PERSON", not objects here, ok. so let's keep this discussion REAL. God is a Person, now who is God "COUNTERPART" who as the definition states, "
has the same function as another person ".
"Someone or something that is identical to another"
please reply to that please. thanks in advance.
So, no... not equal, not exactly the same at all. Just similar enough to make a connection. Kindred, ok, maybe kindred.
First, "KINDRED", correct. God in concrete form ... Flesh. SECOND, we must disagree in the term "EQUAL", and here's why. remember this verse? Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
I the LORD,
the first, and
with the last;
I am he." the pronoun "I" indicates a single person. but the LORD, our God, (per Deut 6:4), is "ONE" LORD..... correct. now this, Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he;
I am the first, I also am the last."
now either this is the same "ONE" person, or one has two LORDS as God.
because "WITH" means, 1. accompanied by (another person or thing). 2. possessing (something) as a feature or accompaniment: 3. indicating the instrument used to perform an action:
now the term "ALSO".
in addition;
too. which means more that a single one, NOT a YACHID, but a ECHAD.
now, as said, either this "LORD", the "FIRST", ..... our God, (per. Deut 6:4), is the same PERSON that,
"has the same function as another person ". or is, "Someone or something that is identical to another" or one has TWO "LORD'S", I'll be looking for your answer.
now, to help you out, as I said, concerning Zechariah 13:7. "Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against
the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones."
this "MAN" who is God "FELLOW?" .... yes, FELLOW, using the Mickelson's Enhanced Strong's Dictionaries of the Greek and Hebrew Testaments,
Fellow: H5997 עָמִית `amiyth (aw-meeth') n-m.
1. companionship.
2. (hence, concretely) a comrade or kindred man.
[from a primitive root meaning to associate]
KJV:
another, fellow, neighbour.
dybmh, my brother, LISTEN CAREFULLY: when, "
Companion", is used as a noun, as, "A copy
or likeness of someone or something". the Synonyms or another word for Companion is,
counterpart, Uh O ......... this man in Zechariah 13:7 is God counterpart? remember this is your bible the tanakh. also, Companion, which means "COUNTERPART", means, likeness, image, "fellow", as stated in Zechariah 13:7. also it means, spitting image, mirror image, "
living image". (not stone, or wood), perfect likeness, "
equal" .... STOP, this man that is God fellow is God "EQUAL". ..... now, let's quit playing any games, and no more excuses, DEFINITIONS don't LIE. this is NOT LONGER about anyone's private interpretation of any scripture. no, these are the FACTS. this man in Zechariah 13:7 is God EQUAL this is just the FACTS.
now the question is, "HOW is a MAN, God EQUAL?".... is not the bible clear, Isaiah 46:5 "To whom will ye liken me,
and make me equal, and compare me,
that we may be like?" READ THAT AGAIN. or this, Isaiah 40:25 "To whom then will ye liken me,
or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One."
the only answer is God is the ECHAD of himself in flesh..... meaning in LIKENBESS, or IMAGE, the COUNTERPART of HIS "OWNSELF", who is the CHRIST, GOD in FLESH, his own EQUAL, because it is God himself (in the ECHAD) his own counterpart, (First Spirit, Last, Flesh). scripture, Isaiah 63:5 "And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold:
therefore mine own arm brought salvation
unto me; and my fury, it upheld me." God own ARM is him, (God), in Flesh as a MAN, just as Zechariah 13:7 states.
my brother dybmh, you have heard the facts, if you have some other answer, please put your research on the table for open discussion, so we all may evaluate it. . Just as I have done here. my research can be reproduced.
looking to hear from you soon, so please re-read this post for, A. clarification. and B. edification,
