  1. I'm going to repeat what I told someone else here that said the same thing, Oh, because wearing tzitzit, tefillin, and head coverings for wives is SUCH as Jehovah's Witness thing? Or because saying the name of YHWH was the name of the angel, not directly the name of the Father, is SUCH a Jehovah Witness thing even though the whole premise of their religion is the Father's name is "Jehovah"? Clearly you did not understand, if you even read at all. I am not JW, nor have I ever been, and this much is obvious when you compare the teachings on their website, to my own. Just because I agree that consuming blood is sin just as they do does not make me JW. Did the command to abstain from blood originate from them, or did it originate from the command given to Noah recorded in Genesis, and also repeated throughout the Torah, and also by the apostles? Hellur?
  2. No, it proves that THROUGH him is found the resurrection and the life, hence, Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6 [NIV]) Why? Because he is the REPRESENTATION of the Father. We worship the Father by worshiping his representation. By the mercies of God, PLEASE UNDERSTAND!
  3. How does that negate "the FIRST to be born among the dead INTO the new body of glory"?
  4. He's the firstborn from the dead because he is the FIRST to be born among the dead INTO the new body of glory. Firstborn isn't just status, it is being FIRST, in a context. Yes, sometimes the rights of a firstborn son have been given to other sons who were not firstborn, such as Isaac, who was not Abraham's first born son, which was Ishmael. However, we are not dealing with a transference of firstborn rights with Jesus Christ. He is firstborn of creation because he was the FIRST to be born in creation. He is the firstborn of the dead because he is the FIRST TO BE RESURRECTED AMONG THE DEAD INTO THE NEW BODY OF GLORY. Again, you use say these words "firstborn", "son", "representation", "image" interchangeably because you have knowledge of them, but you really do understand what they actually mean.
  5. "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. (John 14:28 [NIV]) Jesus himself affirmed he is lesser. His words, not mine.
  6. Who do you suppose was given a "chief" position in a family according to scripture? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
  7. I've heard that before. People in your position will call those who actually understand the scriptures "heretics", when it is they themselves who are the heretics who have alienated themselves from the actual teaching of scripture in favor of what they have been taught by their churches. Jesus Christ coming into existence in the beginning is the original teaching of scripture, hence "he is the firstborn of creation" and "the Father is greater than I". It was the catholic church that later on distorted sound teaching by promulgating their teaching of the trinity, which the protestant churches have subsequently borrowed. I have taken enough time out of my day to try to show you with scripture that you are wrong, but if you refuse to come to understanding, that is on you. Bye.
  8. Even if you translate that verse as "make you as a god" as opposed to "make you as God", do you not understand the ramifications of God saying this to Moses, that God will make him a god? Hello?????????? You deliberately miss the whole meaning of that passage, because you want to refuse to understand that God making Moses a god RELATES to God making Jesus Christ a god. "a god", or "AS God", or "LIKE God", whatever you want to call it, it means the SAME THING, where God APPOINTS HIS REPRESENTATION TO ACT ON HIS BEHALF. Jesus Christ did not make himself God, nor has he always existed as God, he was GRANTED authority to be God, BY GOD, no different than Moses was, but in greater authority than Moses, over all heaven and earth. This also relates to why even Adam, who was also made in the REPRESENTATION OF GOD, was subsequently given authority to rule over the entire earth, ...let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth... (Genesis 1:26) Because it relates to being the "image of God", So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27 [ESV]) Where Jesus Christ is also the image of God, The Son is the image of the invisible God... (Colossians 1:15 [NIV]) And because he is just an IMAGE of God, just as Adam was, this implies he too was created, just as Adam was, hence, The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. (Colossians 1:15 [NIV]) He was born first before anyone else came into being. You do not understand how a son relates to a father. A father comes first, then a son, in relation to time, and since the Father never began, then the next order of existence for the firstborn of all creation would be in the beginning. As such, Jesus Christ came into existence in day one of creation. This is the original teaching of scriptures, believe it, or do not. I've argued this enough and shown you ample times that you are wrong.
  9. Which again, as 100% human, it is implied he is finite. Whereas the 100% God aspect of him, does not take away that he is still finite, since he is still man, because we see in scripture EVIDENCES of other men, who are also finite, being MADE AS GOD, Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I make you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. (Exodus 7:1 [NASB]) Because it relates to BEING A REPRESENTATION OF GOD. Do you not know that the rulership of Jesus Christ will one day end? Read, Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. (1 Corinthians 15:24-28 [NIV]) Currently, Jesus Christ sits AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, but one day he will no longer sit at the right hand of God, because this relates to having LIMITATION AS A REPRESENTATION OF GOD, Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." (Psalm 110:1 [NIV])
  10. There is no "half man" and "half God". Either you are man, or you are God. Either you are finite, or you are infinite. Either you are a representation, or you are not a representation. Christ is God because he is a representation of God, not because he himself is God as the Father is God, and this much is evident because Jesus Christ exhibited limited knowledge, and even mortality, where as the Father has no limit of knowledge, nor does he ever die. Jesus Christ is STILL in subjection to the Father, just as a wife is in subjection to a husband, But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3 [NIV])
  11. Again, you're proving my point. An infinite God NEVER had finite limitations, otherwise he was never "infinite" to begin with. Jesus Christ had limited knowledge not because he descended to earth, but because of the nature of who he is, A REPRESENTATION. Limitations STILL apply to Jesus Christ even after his resurrection, because SUBJECTION RELATES TO LIMITATION, where before and after his resurrection, he is still IN SUBJECTION TO THE FATHER, THE ONE TRUE GOD, hence, Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" (John 20:17 [NIV])
  12. He didn't know the hour of his own coming, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matthew 24:36 [NIV]) Here you have an example of LIMITED knowledge, which implies FINITE.
  13. A VISUAL representation is FINITE. The VISUAL body of Jesus Christ had a LIMITED amount of cells, which had a LIMITED amount of knowledge, hence why he did not know the hour of his own coming. And this relates to him being a REPRESENTATION of an UNLIMITED and INFINITE GOD. Stop hardening your heart and come to understanding.
  14. You've just proven my point, God never loses authority, nor gains authority, nor does he ever die, BUT A REPRESENTATION DOES. Jesus Christ is the highest representation of God, hence why ALL authority is given to him in EQUAL measure as God, but he himself is a REPRESENTATION of God who is in SUBJECTION to the Father.
  15. No, to disbelieve what the scriptures teach is the heresy. You call me a heretic for believing precisely what the scriptures say? "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. (John 14:28 [NIV]) The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. (Hebrews 1:3 [NIV]) You can believe anything you want, but you will never get around what these scriptures actually teach, the Father is GREATER than Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ is a REPRESENTATION of the Father, which relates to why he is called God. It's actually not difficult to understand.
