Why are we not told about this illustrious person ? What kind of language would the bible use to describe him ? He could rightly be called "The firstborn of all creation" as Jesus is at Col. Also "The beginning of the creation of God" as John referred to Jesus at Rev 3:16 He could say, as Jesus did "I live because of the Father". Or God "produced me as the beginning of His way". Maybe the "only begotten son of God" is indeed that special, first being whom God gave life to ?

I am less interested than why the NIV, and others, use "OVER", but more interested in what the original Greek word was and is it interchangeable between "OF" and "OVER"

Thanks

As he didn't mean your fleshly "father". What did he mean ?

You say the bible has been tampered with and it is only accurate when it agrees with the Koran.

My question is.

What one of the 100 names you have for God best describes His inability to protect his written word?

Mat 11 : 27 " No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son."

Where is the holy spirit not in this intimate relationship ?

Also

Mat 24 : 36 " No one knows the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father"

Some may say "at that time Jesus was limited by his humanity so he didn't know". Even though these same people will tell you " Jesus was fully God and fully man.

The point is. Why didn't the holy spirit "know"?

In what way was the holy spirit limited ? Surely as part of the trinity Godhead the holy spirit would know what the Father knows

Comments please

1 Thess 4 vs 16

Muslim commentator Sohaib Sultan said " the Koran believes the original Bible as revealed to Jesus has been lost. As such, the 4 accounts of Jesus' life that appear today in Mark, Mathew, Luke and John are not considered to be a fully accurate recollection of Injil that the Koran so fondly speak of".

I believe that God has indeed protected the accuracy of the Bible as the Dead Sea scrolls testify.

Is it not strange that Muslims who accept the Bible as Gods word would also say that an all powerful God would allow it to be corrupted, therefor we need the (clearly not inspired) Koan to keep us right?

Your comments please

Would you say it must be the worlds biggest religion ?

A clergy of corrupt scientists claiming that fiction is fact, holy books and journals spouting off about the "simple cell" (like there is such a thing) and the "missing link" (like there would be only one step between ape and man), and a mass following of the gullible.

"Evolution is a fairy tale for adults. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless"

I look at half the sections on Answers and would not go on them as I have no interest in them. You don't believe in God so why are you here unless its just for mischief making ?

Dallas says that the officials are not performing very well and they are making to many HONEST mistakes

I feel much better now, because I was thinking that our officials were a bunch of blue nosed dirty,lying cheats intent on securing Wangers the title by hook or by CROOK

" OK, the bears are up 1-0 but Hibs still look like they could score. Sure I could come up with a reason to chop it off but the brother used that last week. No, i will tell kenny to drop next time he is in the box that will put the lads 2 up and give them a cushion. "

Its as its always been with these cheatin refs and linesmen. Surely by now they have used up at least 3 seasons worth

Many plaudits will come his way from D J and H keevans for putting his hand up and admitting his HONEST error. Can hardly deny it with it being all over the tv.

Mr. Dallas will know doubt tell us overall the ref and linesmen had a good match.

Meanwhile Rangers are the only team who seem to consistently benefit from our HONEST officials.

Don't you think if this was any other country in western Europe there would be some kind of investigation as to why so many controversial decisions go to one team?

I wonder how long an official would last in the game if he didn't make an HONEST mistake in charge of a match involving Rangers.

If your religion claims to have a direct line of popes from Peter then surely your history should not be marred with Crusades, inquisitions, witch hunts, killing men for translating the bible into their native tongue, blessing both sides of a war and things like the above.

I was a Catholic until i read the bible.

I think somebody has a lot of explaining to do

At Mark 13 vs 32 Jesus said "Concerning that day or hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father"

If as is taught by trinitarians all members of the Godhead are equal why did only the Father know ?

And if Jesus didn't know because, as you argue, at that time He was limited by His human nature In what way was the Holy Spirit limited ?

is to imagine "water, ice and steam". 3 different aspects of H2o but still the same thing.

That may be true but not all at the same time.

Comments on this please and any other analogies that you know or use to describe God as 3 in 1
