Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been able to check my computer. It's interesting to see where this conversation has gone. Thank you everyone for your comments.

Hey that's great!!! Thanks so much! :hug: :clap:

This is very interesting info! I knew that John 1:1 used the word 'Logos', but I didn't know that there were two different applications and words for "word" in Greek. (hopefully that made sense :) )

Yes, I totally agree. Pharisee's had the Scriptures memorized, but their hearts were far from Him. It's about knowing Him. They didn't even know who they were talking to.

Also, I noticed that the NWT was quoted in one of the forums that was sent as a link. For many reasons that would be too long to explain, I happen to know a lil something about the JW's and the NWT. Well... okay.... more than a 'little'. ;)ssh The NWT was made by Jehovah's Witnesses...

Yup. I can't quite understand how anyone can 'change' from the original Greek. If we stick to what it directly says, then nowhere, anywhere, ever in the NT Greek Scriptures was the Tetra used. I mean, I could see if there was at least one copy of the NT with the Tetra in it. But even then...

Yes, good points about the 'translation'. I really should refrain from calling it that because it is careless to do so. Now, about the tetra in the NT.... I looked at the link you sent. Thank you for that. But where is the Tetra in these in the NT? Could you point out which ones you're...

See, I agree. This is what I'm saying... I don't quite understand how a translation like this exists and they say that they can add the tetra when they have no merit to, whether quoting the OT or not. It seems that if the writers of the NT wanted to make a distinction between YHWH and 'Lord'...

I prefer the KJV, NKJV. But recently, I ran across this new Divine Name King James Version on the web. They put the name 'Jehovah' in the OT over 6000 times where LORD appeared, where the Tetra was. Okay. That's one thing. But there's something else about it that makes me uncomfortable. It...

Well said! :amen:

Yes, I've researched her prior beliefs, and her current beliefs definitely echo those prior beliefs. But not all of them. I've never heard of adoptionism. I'll will definitely look that up. Are there any religions out there that teach this that you know of?

You know, friend, it's interesting that you mention a 'cult' because she actually does have some roots in a faith (that I will not mention) that seems to have damaged her somewhat. She reads the KJV which makes my shock even more profound. I adore the KJV and it's very very obvious that Jesus is...

Very very good points, my friend, Thank you for your thoughts. I like how you mentioned that Luke was writing it as it happened, and what his intentions were.

See that makes sense to me. When I read Rev 19, it's obvious to me that "the Word" is called Jesus. I wanted to see everyone's thoughts on this because first, I was curious, but second, to see if everyone a reed that Jesus IS the Word. For the first time in my Christian walk, I met someone...

I was reading through Acts and I came upon Acts 19. A few questions about this. :confused: First, Paul asks the disciples which 'baptism' did they receive. They say 'John's baptism.' What does this mean? Second, Why were they baptized in the name of Jesus, and not 'The Father, Son, and...

These are great replies, everyone. Thank you so much for your feedback. What about Revelation 19 where Jesus is basically called the word of god? Any thoughts on that?

I admire the fact that you're willing to look at yourself and try to improve yourself. Amen to that. It's a very humbling thing to do. I commend you for that. It's always interesting to see how God works in our lives.

Ooooooooh. This is a great question. See, I personally believe we all have a want and need to seek God, no matter what culture you are. Why is this?? Could it be, perhaps, that we were created this way? Scientists have discovered a 'God gene' in us. Every human being on the planet...

Have you ever thought about just asking them?? And I hate to even suggest this, but have you thought about perhaps trying another church? When I first got saved, I attended a baptist church. I used to call it "boot camp for Christians" lol! I loved that church though, and I still do. But there...

See this was the thing that always got me... the Father, Son, and Spirit were always used interchangeably. When my bells and whistles started going off, so to speak, was in Romans 8. Romans 8: 9-11: 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if...
