I have received the following message from @JudgeRightly "@TrevorL I have merged your thread with an already existing thread on the same topic. Please do not start threads on topics that already have threads discussing said topics." As a result I am not able to access this thread as I have not...

Greetings Right Divider, An interesting introduction, but I will hold on to my perspective until I find some more enlightening view. Let us examine what you have to say to help. No advance so far. Both Peter and Paul preached the full implications and lessons concerning the crucifixion, the...

Greetings Right Divider, I suggest that it is speaking about water baptism as described in Paul's recollection of these events: Acts 22:16 (KJV): And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. This is not a description of Paul being...

Paul was baptised by Ananias: Acts 9:17–18 (KJV): 17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled...

Greetings Nick M, Yes, I agree that they knew exactly what he meant. I suggest that when they understood "John 8:56 (KJV): 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.", then they deliberately muddied the water in order to stir up the crowd, hoping that some...

Greetings again Right Divider and JudgeRightly, "said"? perhaps "sad". It is interesting that you then speak of the fact "the Father has given ALL judgement to His SON" and here you try to belittle me in a nasty way and have already passed me over to the lake of fire. I doubt that we will be...

Greetings again Idolater I apologise. I really got it wrong. Yes, they are all members of the Verb To Be family and depending on the tense and context the real meaning needs to be considered. , I mentioned that the margin of the Revised Version has "I will be" for Exodus 3:14, and one of the...

Greetings again Right Divider, I am not sure if @Idolater is as keen now in promoting the LXX rendition of Exodus 3:14 as he was in his original post after I pointed out that the LXX renders Ehyeh in Exodus 3:12 in the future tense "I will be" and the first occurrence of Ehyeh in Exodus 3:14 as...

Greetings again Right Divider, I was responding to what @Lon asked and what @Idolater stated and my impression is that both of these were endorsing what you stated in the OP. As far as the Opening Post is concerned I believe that Jesus represents Yahweh. As far as your thread title is concerned...

Greetings Isolator, Jesus in John 8:58 is not quoting or alluding to the LXX, and it is not "Straight out of the Septuagint". There is no evidence that the normal Jewish audience spoke or understood Greek or be familiar with the LXX. The following is the LXX rendition: Exodus 3:12-14...

Greetings JudgeRightly, There may not be a "he" in the Greek but every modern translation sees the need to add "he" in the English for John 8:24 and John 8:28 for it to make sense in English. No two languages can be exactly translated by simply translating the words as each has its own idiom...

Greetings again Right Divider, I mentioned that the same words in the following in the immediate context are translated "I am he". John 8:24 (KJV): I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 8:28 (KJV): Then...

Greetings again Lon, It has been a couple of years since my post, but I had a quick glance at TOL and I had an Alert on this thread. I decided to browse the thread and discovered your question on John 8:58. My brief answer on John 8:58 is that I prefer the translation "I am he", the same as...

Greetings again Right Divider, I trace the theme of The Antichrist from Daniel 7 and the little horn of the fourth beast. I understand the period of time for the supremacy of this power and persecution of the faithful to be 1260 years, covering two overlapping periods of time, from Justinian...

Greetings again Right Divider, As I said, I am happy to be called a heretic by a Trinitarian. It aligns you with the persecution of the faithful over the centuries by the RCC. Roman Catholics and the full range of different and opposing denominations also claim to be Christian. The real...
