    ...although He doesn’t know how

    Probably--I'm not real fond of labels. But I disagree with the local MADs on some things, like cessation of water baptism.

    Is death just another life?

    What he's trying to say is that Jesus was the name given to the man-child born of Mary. We don't know if His name was Jesus before that.

    To believe that water baptism for new christians was halted in the scriptures.

    Not to mention the original Greek, right?

    Yes, inside the church, but not the world or angels now.

    I normally would, but it was a straight quote from a website.

    Is death just another life?

    Here's what I found out. When there are two nominative nouns with a helping verb (I prefer "reflexive"), the one with the article is the predicate nominative. In the case of John 1:1, "The fact that "word" is articular while "God" is anarthrous makes it clear that John is telling us something...

    Is death just another life?

    Interesting...I hadn't heard it said that way before, and none of the English translations I could find did it that way. A German one I looked at did, but German regularly rearranges things.

    Is death just another life?

    Is death just another life?

    I thought you said God can't die. Yet now you say Jesus is God. Did Jesus become God after He died? Or was He always God and somehow He died anyway? [1Ti 1:17 KJV] 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. IMMORTAL. 1. ...
