"The Word" may not be a name.

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

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.

You have to study it with one eye closed to believe that.

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.

Didn't I say that? But not the world or angels now.

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...

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.

I quoted a verse that says Jesus is immortal, and you say I'm not a christian? That amazes me. You say Jesus died in every way a righteous man can die. That's absolutely true. But these are things God can't do. The whole idea that man is really immortal, and can't die like God described in Gen...

...he says while not answering the question.

Why did Jesus descend into hell, where David wasn't?

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. ...

Why do you "feel" that way?

Or God hasn't decided yet when it would be.
