haibe: Genesis 18:1-33 You are only fooling yourself by contradicting what John ratified @ john 1;18..... Yahweh himself said:::::no one can see me and yet live...... You should be humble to do more research rather than contradict Yahwehs own words... Read your bible and read that exegesis I gave up there |

haibe: Did u read my post @ all?? Did u?? Answer me.... I repeat and I re-iterate... NO MAN can see God and yet live..... If moses did see God he'll. Die...... Did u read that whole exegesis of how many came in contact with Yahwehs angels and not Yahweh himself?? Yahweh doesn't contradict himself.... Scriptures explain scriptures.... I quoted all scriptures to explain and open your eyes to the truth..... Yahweh said NO man can see Him and live... John @ joh 1:18 stamps Yahwehs words.... So I throw back your question to you.... Did moses see God?? 1 Like |

frosbel:^^ 1. It is noteworthy that you have not put forward your "comprehensive rebuttal". Do you think those bible verses will go away if you just ignore them: I repeat: aletheia: aletheia: 2. It is indeed noteworthy that while we have put forward bible scriptures for the fact that Jesus is God, and pre-existent before His Incarnation in the flesh, you must needs go outside the bible appealing to human reasoning or else ignoring the scriptures that plainly show who Jesus is. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen. |

ijawkid: He did? For real? You sure it's not you guys that keep saying "the translation's wrong. It ought to have read so and so. This verse does not belong in the Bible. There should be the article "a" here. The verb is wrong etc etc"? Could've fooled me |

haibe: "When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD what are you up to? Hahaha, i cant really laugh. You mean Jesus had lied? Let me help you. John 1;18, "no man has seen God at any time but the only beggoten son who is in the bosom of the father has explained him" ^^^ are you saying that Jesus was lying? Well, my Jesus dont lie, get that! ? In the OT Yahweh made use of messengers to represent him most of the times as can be seen below, Exodus 23:20,21 ; "here i am sendinding an angel ahead of you on the and to bring you ahead of where you are going............ Because my "NAME" is withing him" here, Yahweh is delegating an angle on the basis of his name, and can bear his name as a representative. So, at same Exodus 24:9-11, we read; And Moses and Aron and Nadab and Abihu the seventy of the older men of Israel proceeded to go up and the got to see the God of Israel and ............. he did not put his hand against the distinguish men....... Exodus 33:17-23 note Vers 20; "And he(Yahweh) added, you are not able to see my face, because no man may see me and yet live". Now young man, what do you think? Do you still think that Jesus was lying? No. Like i started from chapter 23 of Exodus where Yahweh delegated an angle to lead the sons of Israel , hence, we know who appeared to moses and the seventy men, the rep. Of Yahweh(Angel bearing Yahweh name, 23:21) that is why after the appearance to the seventy up on the mountain moses knew what happened And kept/continued asking to see Yahweh Exodus 33:18 but, like Vers 20 of chapter 33 Yahweh repeated that "no man can SEE MY FACE AND YET LIVE", why? Because all along what that has been appearing to human are Yahweh's Angels as REPRESENTATIVES. So, please, dont try to say that our lord Jesus christ had lied since he knew quite well what had happen? In the past. John 1:18, No man had seen God at any time but the only beggoten son has explained him. If you respect Jesus you will not sin. |

truthislight: Truthislight don't mind Him....na stubbornness dey worry am Many times I've told this guy that moses didn't see God.... It seems he barely reads...... Let me spell it out again for Him... Moses once expressed the desire to see God. At Exodus 33:18-20, we read: “‘Cause me [Moses] to see, please, your glory.’ But he [God] said: ‘I myself shall cause all my goodness to pass before your face, and I will declare the name of Yahweh before you; and I will favor the one whom I may favor, and I will show mercy to the one to whom I may show mercy.’ And he added: ‘You are not able to see my face, because no man may see me and yet live.’” What God permitted Moses to see was His passing glory. Verses 21-23 state: “And GOD said further: ‘Here is a place with me, and you must station yourself upon the rock. And it has to occur that while my glory is passing by I must place you in a hole in the rock, and I must put my palm over you as a screen until I have passed by. After that I must take my palm away, and you will indeed see my back. But my face may not be seen.’” In harmony with what Yahweh told Moses and what the apostle John said, Moses saw no materialization or material form of God. All that Moses saw was the afterglow of the divine presence passing by. Even then he had to be divinely protected. Obviously, it was not God himself that Moses saw. When Moses spoke to God “face to face,” as stated at Exodus 33:11, he was not in visual contact with Yahweh. This expression indicates the manner in which Moses communicated with God, not what he saw. Speaking with God “face to face” indicates a two-way conversation. Similarly, an individual can carry on a two-way conversation by telephone without seeing the other person. When Moses talked with God and received instructions from him, the communication was not through visions, as was often the case with other prophets. This is noted at Numbers 12:6-8, where we read: “He went on to say: ‘Hear my words, please. If there came to be a prophet of yours for Yahweh, it would be in a vision I would make myself known to him. In a dream I would speak to him. Not so my servant Moses! He is being entrusted with all my house. Mouth to mouth I speak to him, thus showing him, and not by riddles; and the appearance of Yahweh is what he beholds.’” In what sense did Moses behold “the appearance of Yahweh”? Moses beheld “the appearance of Yahweh” when he, Aaron, and certain other men were on Mount Sinai. At Exodus 24:10, it is written: “They got to see the God of Israel. And under his feet there was what seemed like a work of sapphire flagstones and like the very heavens for purity.” But how did Moses and the other men get to “see the God of Israel,” since God had told him, “No man may see me and yet live”? Verse 11 explains, for it says: “He did not put out his hand against the distinguished men of the sons of Israel, but they got a vision of the true God and ate and drank.” So the appearance of God that Moses and the others saw was by means of a vision.... |
Re: 34 Reasons Why The “holy Spirit” Is Not A “person” - Bible Scholars attention ! by ijawkid(m): 7:58am On Sep 26, 2012 |
@HAIBE... People saw Jesus's Face,touched Him,saw his full figure and even ate with him..... But the bible times with out number says Yahweh can not be seen and has never been seen by humans....... John re-confirmed those words both @ john 1:18 and 1 John 4:12 1 john 4:12::: English Standard Version (©2001) No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. John 1:18... GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995) No one has ever seen God. God's only Son, the one who is closest to the Father's heart, has made him known. King James 2000 Bible (©2003) No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. ........ That lengthy explanation I gave up there explains who all of Yahwehs servants saw through out bible history..... But your stubbornness won't let you concede... Be humble my bro and accept bible truths...it won't kill you... I repeat::::NO MAN has seen God @ anytime(that includes moses,abraham, and all those who thougth they came in contact with God) |

frosbel: No not 3 but one person in the Godhead appeared to moses, so it had to be 1 face, 1 back, 1 hand, but you agreed that moses did see God, you posted it yourself or its no more God he saw? |
Re: 34 Reasons Why The “holy Spirit” Is Not A “person” - Bible Scholars attention ! by haibe(m): 9:41am On Sep 26, 2012 |
Lol ijawkid you are a joker, lets see again Afterward Jehovah appeared to him among the big trees of Mam′re, while he was sitting at the entrance of the tent about the heat of the day. When he raised his eyes, then he looked and there three men were standing some distance from him. When he caught sight of them he began running to meet them from the entrance of the tent and proceeded to bow down to the earth. Then he said: “Jehovah, if, now, I have found favor in your eyes, please do not pass by your servant. Let a little water be taken, please, and YOU must have YOUR feet washed. Then recline under the tree. And let me get a piece of bread, and refresh YOUR hearts. Following that, YOU can pass on, because that is why YOU have passed this way to YOUR servant.” At this they said: “All right. You may do just as you have spoken.” No matter how you try to mis-interprete the bible, it is clear that abraham saw Jehovah. Now the two angels arrived at Sod′om by evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sod′om. When Lot caught sight of them, then he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the earth(Gen 19:1). IT is clear that only two angels were there with Jehovah, thus Jehovah and 2 angels appeared to abraham, dont forget jehovah waited behind with abraham leaving the two angels to go to sodom and gommorrah first. Jehovah later goes to join the 2 angels. The sun had gone forth over the land when Lot arrived at Zo′ar. Then Jehovah made it rain sulphur and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens, upon Sod′om and upon Go‧mor ′rah. "(Gen 19:24) It is very clear that jehovah was among the 3 men abraham saw or why will the 2 angels be separated from jehovah when addresing them, why was one of them called Jehovah and the remaining two Angels. No matter how you try to mis-interprete this verses, it is very clear Abraham saw jehovah. He said: “Men, brothers and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our forefather Abraham while he was in Mes‧o‧po‧ta′mi‧a, before he took up residence in Ha′ran, The God of glory appeared not Angel of the God of glory. It amazes me how ijawkid try to twist scriptures to suit himself. Well for your information the Jesus did not contradict himself saying no one has seen the father at any time, its true that no man has seen the Father but the Son has been seen and he was the one who appeared to our fore fathers abraham" but because you want to try to suit yourself, you deny that they were all angel that abraham saw, yes 2 angels were there but Jehovah was there also(3 of them are not angels), to say that Jehovah in that passage above refer to angels, i guess you have to re-write the whole bible becos you put yourself in a dilemma and you contradict other verses in the scriptures. PS: your write-up about who appeared to abraham doesnt make any sense, you contradict the scriptures. If it was all angels that abraham saw, the watchtower would have gladly translated it so but no he saw Jehovah and 2 angels. |

haibe: Afterward Jehovah appeared to him among the big trees of U seem to have a problem reasoning from the scriptures.... Please with your present stance try corroborating it with the apostle Johns words @ john 1:18 and 1 john 4:12.... You barely understand that scriptures must be alligned..... You fail to understand that scriptures explain scriptures....that has been your problem.... Yahwehs representatives were the ones that were seen and touched and felt,not Yahweh... You sound like I'm the writer of the book of John..... I repeat..:::::No man has seen God(Yahweh @ anytime)...that is a fact.... You can go wallow in your ignorance..... You are the one delusioned here not me.... You fail to interprete verses with verses..... That I did and you are sticking to that same verse u've been quoting,but failed to consider Johns words and even Jesus own words... Let me quote Jesus words.... John 6:46... ....... New International Version (©1984) No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. ........ New Living Translation (©2007) (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.) ..... English Standard Version (©2001) not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. ..... New American Standard Bible (©1995) "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. I want u to corroborate your continous obstinate stance on the fact that persons(Man) saw Yahweh,with Johns testimony and that of Jesus whom the Father sent..... Jesus confirmed that no one(including moses and abraham..etc) has seen God... ........ You are are just a stubborn person....... You are rather suppose to humble yourself and really find out who or what abraham and the rest patriarchs saw....and I just did give you details on it............but you seem too hard hearted.... Your argument doesn't negate the Fact that Yahweh is greater than Jesus....... |
Re: 34 Reasons Why The “holy Spirit” Is Not A “person” - Bible Scholars attention ! by ijawkid(m): 10:16am On Sep 26, 2012 |
@haibe..... So u mean to say Yahweh was seen physically here on earth but made it rain fire and sulphur from heaven?? Abi?? I'll leave you to be arguing with Jesus who said no one has seen God.... |

frosbel:yeah frosbel, God almighty is one, none but him, none besides him and none outside him. One God, unum Deo, is anyone contesting the fact that we have one God? It seems u are arguing against urself. GOD IS ONE, nobody is argueing that even trinitarian dont argue that. The trinitarian position says that in one God, one being and one divine substance there are 3 distinct fellowshiping persons. Humans have one person and one being, animals have one being no person. GOD HAS ONE BEING 3 PERSONS. So telling me God is one doesnt even touch the arguement. |
