james replied to Marc Taylor And if I cast out demons by Be-elzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges “ Jesus’ remark makes it clear both that Jewish exorcists existed in His day, and that... (22 January, 2020 - 20:53)
james replied to Marc Taylor “You insist on adding your “creature-jesus” to what God teaches He did alone. This is nonsense and blasphemous.” your god is not “alone” he is three distinct beings which work all by themselves in... (22 January, 2020 - 16:41)
james replied to Marc Taylor You asled: how is an absolute, unchanging being which have inherent qualities get “functionally subjected” ? Answer: Because He chooses to. THEN he is a CHANGING ,non-absolute being which goes... (22 January, 2020 - 16:30)

james replied to Marc Taylor You are quoting texts which show that x is dependant on y and “word” in john 1 does not mean “jesus” when the father said “let there be light” this means the word became light. When the fathers... (19 January, 2020 - 22:06)
james replied to Marc Taylor nonsense. the intermediary who does not have ACCESS to omnipotence is sought, not that the intermediary itself has inherent in him omnipotence. in the nt MAJORITY of prayers by christians are... (19 January, 2020 - 22:02)
Marc Taylor replied to james You wrote: “there is no omnipotence.” That the Lord Jesus is the proper recipient of prayer demonstrates that He is the Almighty. See my comments here: http://tinyurl.com/w83a3vn (19 January, 2020 - 19:33)
Marc Taylor replied to james You wrote: “don’t tell me about creating since nt thinks that things other than yhwh could create by yhwhs will and power.” Both Job 9:8 and Isaiah 44:24 teach that God alone is the Creator. Since... (19 January, 2020 - 19:23)

Who calmed the storm and why?

Andrew replied to Alex Agreed about the feeding in the wilderness, Alex. The Jesus passing by detail is from a different story, of course (Mk. 6:48). Perhaps the point is that he meant to leave them to solve the problem... (22 January, 2020 - 18:26)
Alex We might add Jesus’ command to his disciples “you feed them” during the wilderness feeding as an example of Jesus’expectation that his disciples perform the same signs he performs by the same... (22 January, 2020 - 17:43)

How powerful is Jesus?

Samuel Conner replied to Samuel Conner A few further thoughts along this line: re: ” he expects his disciples to do the same thing “ In the extended Supper Discourse of the 4th Gospel, Jesus says a great deal about the coming of the... (19 January, 2020 - 16:02)
peter wilkinson replied to Andrew 1. Leon Morris is cleverer than I am. I just don’t see how “with God and was God” can be impersonal. 2. I think you’ve missed my point, which was about the absence of any explicit... (18 January, 2020 - 21:20)

Andrew replied to peter wilkinson 1. Yes, John appears to identify the Word at creation directly with God, but my point was only that it is the “Word”, not the “Son”, which is active at creation. And the emphasis is certainly on the... (17 January, 2020 - 09:52)
