Re: Born Again or Begotten Again?

Dwight, it doesn't matter how many translations mistranslate the word. Read again what I wrote in the original post: The Greek word is not any form of the word “τικτω”. It is “γεννηθηναι”, the aorist passive infinitive of the verb “γενναω” (I beget). It is the word found in the geneologies in Matthe...

Re: Jesus is God

Paidion>>>So what does "God" mean, according to God?<<< Hmm...I would say, since God has no God, He knows Himself to be that One YHWH. All else that is, is other than Him, and is created. Yes, I would say that this is God's perspective about Himself. But then, of course, we have to deal with this f...

Re: Born Again or Begotten Again?

No. It's "How can a man be begotten when he is old?"
The words are NOT used interchangeably.

A person is begotten when one of his father's sperm cells unites with his mothers egg cell.
A person is born 9 moths later, when he emerges from his mother's body as a baby.

Otherness wrote:My “argument” is that God has defined Himself.


If that is the case, what is His definition?

Perhaps you mean that God has described Himself. With that I agree. That is an entirely different matter!

Re: Jesus is God

This Thomistic maxim needs to be qualified with the words “by man” because, of course, God can certainly define Himself Thomas Aquinas truly said that "God" cannot be defined. This is an absolute. Thus God cannot "define Himself" either! God cannot perform a contradiction in terms. . The old Bible ...

Re: Jesus is God

So then He could not be defined as not triune?
No. God cannot be defined. He is beyond definition.

Trinitarians try to describe God as Triune. But God cannot be defined.

Re: Jesus is God

But the Spirit of the Father IS the Holy Spirit. Are you suggesting that the Father has a spirit other than the Holy Spirit. No. As you say, "The Spirit of the Father IS the Holy Spirit. Are you suggesting that this fact means that the Holy Spirit is a different Person from the Father? If so, where...
