Ok Mattathias, what do we have here? You said, "the angel of the Lord in the Old Testament and in the New Testament is an angel." And yes, I am familiar with the Hebrew word, "malakh" which simply means "messenger." I'm not concerned as to how many times the phrase is used. The CONTEXT...

Hey Mattathias! Your statement here also peeked my interest, This statement of yours also "peeked" my interest. "I was no longer welcome in the Baptist Church after I came to believe that the God of Jesus (the Father alone) is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." Since Jesus Christ is God...

Look, it's all a matter of one's perspective. I saw it differently than you did. Some things may appear clear to one person and not to another. Even you said, "Have you ever been to a church that taught, "Jesus is not a human person?" In my mind "red flags" popped up. Then after I read the...

I decided to do some more research on this subject. I found the following article on what was going on with the Council of Chalcedon. The article clears it up for me, especially the second from last paragraph that starts out: "The Fathers at Chalcedon set themselves firmly against both of the...

When I said Jesus is a human person I mean it in the sense that Jesus became s human being. The words are synomous. Besides, it's a iniversal law that a son shares the same nature as his father. There was a reason Jesus often refered to Himself as the "Son of man" and the "Son of God." Man on...

You didn't address the question. why? bluto

You said, "God is not a man." Angels are spiritual beings but yet God can turn them into the form of a man. Jesus Christ as the angel of the Lord in the OT was in the form of a man. Think about it, "Is anything too hard for God?" Btw, the "Word/Logos as John 1:1 is "NOT" the spoken word as you...

Just to be clear Jesus Christ is a human person. Please explain to us all here in what respect is He not a human person? Even the enemies of Jesus said, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, BEING A MAN, make Yourself out God." (John 10:33). And another...

I have one more favor for you to tell Mr.Craig. Tell him my mentor was the late Dr. Walter Martin, he's the one that taught me just about everything I know about "Apologetics" starting in about 1971. Perhaps you've heard of him? If not look him up. Thank You! IN GOD THE SON, bluto

That's fine, you have my permission and you do not have to "redact" my name. You copy and paste every word I said here: I highly suggest Mattathias that your read "carefully" what Craig said here: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/good-book-blog/2015/is-worship-of-jesus-idolatry Your...

I highly suggest Mattathias that your read "carefully" what Craig said here: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/good-book-blog/2015/is-worship-of-jesus-idolatry Your misunderstanding the point of what he says. The one person of Jesus Christ "assumed" a human nature and we are not worshiping His...

Here, let me help you out on this issue. I'm going to give you a little homework assignment. Please read Psalm 22, all of it and notice it was Jesus who quoted the words of David (vs1). After verse 1 and starting at vs2 please notice the circumstances that King David was in when he quoted vs1...

Hey Dino, please read the article Mattathias provided and give me your take on it. I think he's a little mixed up. Thanks! IN GOD THE SON, bluto

Ok Mattathias, I read everything at the Catholic site you provided and I actually agree with what is stated. However, at the second paragraph this is stated as an example of what many people may not know? "As an example, some people are shocked to learn Jesus Christ is not a human person." I...

I ask you the following question? "So tell me, is this statement true or Biblical? Jesus Christ, is God who became a human being when He incarnated/became flesh according to John 1:14?" You said, "No." Can you please give me a Biblical reason/or reasons why your answer is "No?" IN GOD THE...

No, it's more like you "Kinda" don't know what your talking about? IN GOD THE SON, bluto

So which is it Mattathias, you said in one of your post, "Then we are in agreement that trinitarianism teaches us that Jesus is not a human person." Now you say your not clear as to why I beleive Jesus is not a human person? So tell me, is this statement true or Biblical? Jesus Christ, is God...

The following is what I posted yesterday. In answer to your specific question? "Did Jesus ever explicitly say or use the exact words, "I am God," no. Do you know why? If He had then the obvious conclusion (at least to the Jews and others) is that Jesus would be promoting "polytheism." Btw, Jesus...

How about this? And the Word became flesh/a human being which would "technically" be precise. (John 1:14). I am also curious, you typed at the end of one your post, "In The Son of God," Would it be okay with you to type, "IN GOD THE SON?" IN GOD THE SON, bluto

I completely agree with what is stated by Schaff and William Craig. I have also used Schaff in the past for reference material and the same holds true for Mr.Craig. In fact, I attended Biola college (located in La Mirada CA) in 1971 for two years but did not graduate. IN GOD THE SON, bluto
