Twenty dollar bills are not for today. You must use plastic, and accept that your funds can be stolen or frozen at any time, when those in control decide. Also...every expenditure will be closely monitored to see that it fits the exigencies of this new cult.

Jerry Savelle, of all the WoF preachers, was perhaps my favorite because his disarming sense of humor was permeated with a deeper sense of awe at the simplicity and integrity of the Promise of God. One sermon in particular, from the early eighties, has stuck with me because I had never looked...

You posted the Biblehub Hebrew analysis page...and you are telling me to put up or shut up... What do you want me to do further? Do you want me to parse each word, as has already been done? Translate each word, as has already been done? Or are you suggesting that "OLG" knows Hebrew? You know...

You don't know the word. It doesn't say "...came to be." It says "egeneto". That's Greek, not English. It needs to be translated. Translators make choices. You choose. I choose...It doesn't say, "came to be..." You can look back in this thread for all the choices a translator has. Assuming...

Sounds right...He made all things by the Word. And the antecedent to "Him" in John 3 is the Word. We also see the sequence in Genesis 1, God spoke and it happened. We also see this in Mark 11..."say whatever, believing...and it will happen." We also see this in Hebrews 11: We know that the...

This ranks as the most useless post you have ever posted. I told you to put your words in my mouth so I could see what you're looking for in a "Hebrew" analysis. Put up or shut up...I have no clue what you want.

Nope...I never said it either. You put ridiculous claims in your post and tell me that's what I said. It's a fav tactic of yours. It only shows how badly you read, and how desperate you are to maintain your misunderstandings. I don't usually use that tactic...but for your sake and for...

You're looking for specific words...put them in my mouth as if I said them, and I'll tell you whether or not I agreed. I already tried once, and you didn't like the words I chose. You choose, and I'll tell you if I like them. We're talking about Creation, and HOW Creation happened. Yep...God...

Wait just a minute...I have to fix my jaw. There... ...Did you really just say this? You cannot see what John is doing in chapter 1, and you want me to read it to you? In the beginning...the logos The logos is With God. The Logos is God. All things are made through (dia) the logos. Of all...

Who the creator is. John 1 tells me it all happened by the Word, and without the Word nothing was made that was made...and furthermore, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and bore all the glory of the Father with Whom all things were created.

So Jews admit to worshipping gods, then? Most Jews don't...they usually deny the literal translation. That's what you've done in the past...but you seem to be projecting an new belief onto me. Either that, or you're just being petulant again...missing my point is an essential tactic. Au...

Well...when it's the essence of every one of your posts, lately, the meaning diminishes with each repetition. That's the nature of what drives your opinions. So...yeah. I generally prefer inquiry and science, though. I'm sorry so many of you have eschewed that approach.

So...It's not just Greek you don't know. You cannot read. Thanks for clarifying. Because it's not there YET, doesn't mean it's not there. It comes in the author's time. In the first chapter, John says, 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of...

Stop...I can't take it any more... I SAID "Folks in the fourteenth century produced a forgery with and emission of such a high degree of light that ONLY the topmost fibrils on the fabric of a linen shroud were aged to EXACTLY the same degree on a 8 cubit by 4 cubit fabric to show the...

You're projecting again, and that without a basis. It leaves folks who do know Greek to be puzzled at your claim? Are you taking issue with the antecedent? ho logos or with the translator's choice, e.g. my choice, since I'm translating, to use "him" and not "it", since Jesus is the logos that...

I don't know which side you're on...(nice to meet you)...but you're not on the side of grammar. You just changed the meaning of the sentence, and took issue with John's claim. Translators have done that historically. They are not deemed capable as translators. χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν ὃ...

Although not a requirement to your posts, translators are generally required to be coherent...and the target language of the translation imposes its own exigencies. You do not know Greek. I would even posit that you have never successfully translated any work to another language. You won't have...

Context...It's simple: "Him" is a translator's choice from the Greek emphatic pronoun auto. The antecedent is ho logos (the logos word, in contrast to the rhema word) which is masculine singular, hence "him," although it means the Word for us, so the translator has to choose to anthropomorphize...

I love irony...Absolutely love irony. And with this, you expect folks on this board to take your posts seriously... Thanks for posting. You just made my day...and maybe my week.

You haven't read my posts...and yet you make this claim? You are at least and clearly capable of proving my point about your efforts...effortlessly. Proof...I actually asked you to prove any cognizance you might have of either Pliny. Read the post before posting prevarication, and your...
