2 | Have I misunderstood your question? | John 6:56 | Ray | 4873 | ||
Hi JVH, We have a "debate" starting today and it could be that it needs at least a couple of moderators, or "media" people to give their views as the debate is in progress. Or should we rate them afterwards for their references, demeanor, bias or whatever? First, I think our viewers need to know that the scripture at hand is 2 Corinthians 5:19, "namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He (or having committed) has committed to us the word of reconciliation." The comparison verse seems to be John 6:56, "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him." So what do you think JVH? Are the rules going to be followed? Any time limits here? Just limitted to scripture, right? It appears that sharp hasn't answered the question posed yet but he has set forth some of his basic thoughts. Sharp, if you can hear a moderator or one from the crowd, "Who was Jesus praying to in the gospel of John?" That would have been chapter seventeen, right, JVH? JVH, your Baker Topical Guide to the Bible is very good, isn't it? You know though that I with my interest in capitalization would wish that men and angels were lower case. But I understand the outline and the title main words capitalized, etc. Later, Ray P.S. I'll get back with you if I still have a job. |

Ray: Thank you for your note to me, but I'm afraid I will have to pass on this one. Only yesterday I made the decision to refrain from any further participation in the debate/argument/fight over Oneness or Jesus-only topics. That would include any question concerning the Triune nature of God or the deity of Christ. I've defined the Trinity as best I know how. If people reject the Trinity or want to carry on eternal discussion over a doctrinal issue that was already settled hundreds and hundreds of years ago, they have the right to do so. But I'm just not interested. But, Ray, don't take this as a personal criticism of you, please. It isn't you, it just the topic. And, by the way, the original question by sharp, "Was there two from the godhead Christ?", is something I find quite confusing. If I could make head or tail out of the original question, then my input might be more helpful. Again thank you for thinking of me, but I must pass on this one. God bless you, Ray. --JVH0212 |
