A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest.

CLV Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and operative, and keener above any two-edged sword, and penetrating up to the parting of soul and spirit, both of the articulations and marrow, and is a judge of the sentiments and thoughts of the heart.

Living and Operative.

CLV Jn 10:34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, that `I say you are gods'?
35 If He said those were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be annulled),

Actually, carbon dating has been improved. I don't think anyone still uses Carbon 14 dating anymore.

I prefer...

CLV Mt 7:1 "Do not judge, lest you may be judged,
2 for with what judgment you are judging, shall you be judged, and with what measure you are measuring, shall it be measured to you.

"Just" judging would be totally unbiased judging. It baffles me that anyone would think he/she could do that.

CLV John 10:30 I and the Father, We are one.

I see you just pick out the verses that you like and ignore the rest. Jesus also said...

KJV John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
CLV John 17:21 that they may all be one, according as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us, that the world should be believing that Thou dost commission Me.

CLV John 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, Ere Abraham came into being, I am."

Of course, The Son of God was around before Abraham. The Bible tells us that in Gen. 6:4. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, but not the only Son of God.

It looks like you missed that one.

CLV Acts 20:28 "Take heed to yourselves and to the entire flocklet, among which the holy spirit appointed you supervisors, to be shepherding the ecclesia of God, which He procures through the blood of His Own.

I am one of His Own. So are many people.

CLV John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word.

CLV John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacles among us, and we gaze at His glory, a glory as of an only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

"With" suggests two Greek words neither of which is used here. hence for accuracy's sake it is best to translate literally "toward". "With God" has no cogency in this connection. "Toward" indicates that the revealed Word pointed the creature in the direction of God. Take every "thus saith the Lord" in the Hebrew Scriptures and they all point us to God, and reveal some attribute of the divine character.

It is impossible for the mind to entertain the two thoughts that the Word was toward (or with) God, and the Word was God. Nothing which is toward (or with) an object can actually be that object. The difficulty lies in the difference between English and Greek idiom. "Was" and "is" are usually omitted in Greek, unless they are used in a figurative sense. Thus "This is my body" does not mean that the bread of the communion actually is the Lord's body but represents it. As the bread stands for the Lord's body, so the Word took the place of God. The God of the Hebrew Scriptures spoke: it was an oral revelation. He was revealed as Elohim, Jehovah, Adonai, etc., by means of utterances which came to the fathers through the prophets. while His essence was concealed. As at Sinai, His voice was heard, but He was hid.
A. E. Knoch

Since this is impossible to entertain these two at once, we must see this as an idiom. An example of an idiom is if I said meet me at the park by Napolean. I didn't mean for you to dig up Napolean, but that the statue of Napolean represents him. And so, Jesus represents God.

CLV John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

This is cryptic at best. You are asking me to take your interpretation of this verse and ignore what the scholars and Bible translators say. "My Lord and my God!" is an exclamation. It's like saying, "Oh my God!" That doesn't mean you are calling anyone God.

CLV Tit 2:13 anticipating that happy expectation, even the advent of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ

Again, you are offering an interpretation and not just a Bible verse. The word "and" there is a key word in that verse. It means they are both present. The same is true with 2Peter 1:1.

CLV Heb 1:8 Yet to the Son: "Thy throne, O God, is for the eon of the eon, And a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of Thy kingdom.

Again, it is the Son Who is standing in for God so that when the eon of the eon is over so that 1Cor 15:24-28 can come to pass.



Now I have one for you. If God is a "trinity" then where is the word "trinity" in the Bible? Did someone forget to add it?

It baffles me how anyone would think that Jesus Christ is God.

CLV 1John 5:12 He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life.

And those of us who have read the Bible know that ALL (there's that word again) will have the Son...

CLV 1Cor 15:22 For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified.

CLV 1Cor 15:27 For He subjects all under His feet. Now whenever He may be saying that all is subject, it is evident that it is outside of Him Who subjects all to Him.
28 Now, whenever all may be subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also shall be subjected to Him Who subjects all to Him, that God may be All in all.

Can't seem to get away from that word...

G3956 pas pas

CLV Col 1:20 and through Him to reconcile all into/to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens.

CLV 1Cor 15:51 Lo! a secret to you am I telling! We all, indeed, shall not be put to repose, yet we all shall be changed

All shall be saved! According to the Scriptures.

The Scriptures tell us all will be saved.

CLV Rom 11:32 For God locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should be merciful to all.

CLV 1Tim 2:4 Who wills that all mankind be saved and come into a realization of the truth.

CLV 1Tim 4:10 (for this are we toiling and being reproached), that we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind, especially of believers.

It is nice that you are careful.

I am not sure what you think I did. All I have done here is post, just like you.

There is nothing in the Scriptures that says Jesus is God.

There is no association with 'sheol' and "fire."

That was added later by men with the term 'gehenna.'

And now for something completely different. A Hindu fable:

It was six men of Indostand, To learning much inclined, Who went to see
the Elephant, (Though all of them were blind), That each by observation,
Might satisfy his mind.

The First approached the Elephant, and happening to fall, against his
broad and sturdy side, at once began to bawl: "God bless me! but the
Elephant, Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk, Cried, "Ho! what have we here, So very
round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear, This wonder of an
Elephant, Is very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal, And happening to take, The squirming
trunk within his hands, Thus boldly up and spake: "I see," quoth he, "the
Elephant, Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand, And felt about the knee. "What most
this wondrous beast is like, Is mighty plain," quoth he; "'Tis clear
enough the Elephant, Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, Said: "E'en the blindest man, Can
tell what this resembles most; Deny the fact who can, This marvel of an
Elephant, Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun, About the beast to grope, Than, seizing on
the swinging tail, That fell within his scope, "I see," quoth he, "the
Elephant, Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan, Dispute loud and long, Each in his own
opinion, Exceeding stiff and strong, Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

MORAL:
So oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter
ignorance, Of what each other mean, And prate about an Elephant, Not one
of them has seen!

Ephe 3:8 (CLV) To me, less than the least of all saints,

untraceable riches of Christ to the nations

Healing someone is not the same thing as immortality. It is Scriptural that when our time comes, it comes...

CLV John 11:4 Yet Jesus, hearing it, said, "This infirmity is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God should be glorified through it."

God and His Son have authority over life and death. Jesus didn't "give up the ghost" He " let out the Spirit."

Perhaps those who have a hard time understanding this are the ones Jesus spoke of when He said...

CLV Mark 8:12 And sighing in His spirit, He is saying, "Why is this generation seeking for a sign? Verily I am saying to you, If there shall be given to this generation a sign!"

CLV Luke 11:29 Now, the throngs being convened, He begins to be saying, "This generation is a wicked generation. A sign it is seeking, and a sign shall not be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

Instead of making assumptions read the Book.

CLV Luke 1:17 And he/ shall be coming before in His sight in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of the fathers onto the children, and the stubborn to the prudence of the just, to make ready a people formed for the Lord."

I don't get that either. I have had a few very young woman contact me. They all say, "Age is just a number."

I think it is some type of scam.

Cheating is the wrong way to go about breaking up. If you have made a commitment to someone, and you feel the need to cheat, you need to reevaluate that relationship.
