Darin, I can't see how you can fit this into your theory, or why you would even want to. Seems pretty straight forward to me: but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant From Strongs: Morphe (form); morphe is therefore properly the nature or essence, not in the abstract, but as actuall...

Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

You can't help but insult with ad hominem. You might spend some time in prayer before posting. (and maybe re-read Matthew 5:22)

Romans 16:20 "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." But we know from Genesis 3:15, who God told the serpent, would crush his head - the seed of the woman - Jesus! So we know that Jesus IS the God of peace. You're again conflating two things (one quite metaphorical) - God Himself ...

Hebrews 2:14 - "Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same ..." Notice Jesus chose to become flesh and blood, even before He was conceived. Humans don't pre-exist, so we don't get that choice. Only God could make such a choice. You're assumi...

The bigger question to me is was the light personified in The Word, the status quo ante the incarnation. I affirm and you appear to deny. I ca...

Darin, You wrote: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The Word was with God in the beginning. 3Through the Word all things were made; without the Word nothing was made that has been made. 4 Life was in the Word, and that life was the light of all mankin...

Darin, I have difficulty understanding just what you believe John was saying about God and Jesus in the prologue to his Gospel John 1:1-18. Could you inform me as to whom you believe the personal pronouns highlighted in red refer to in each of the following cases? New American Standard Bible 1 In t...

Is that mockery?

No, but it's definitely making a valid point.

What point are you trying to make?

depends on what the meaning of "is" is

Is that mockery?

Darin, I've long heard it is best to let scripture interpret scripture. Couldn't be better than to let John interpret John could it? Revelation 19:11-13 NASB 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and w...
