Explain psam 90:2 and prov 8:24

NumberOne2 : " this is literarily creating mountains and creating words"

*well said* creating word and the word is jesus , thanks for admiting the christian god, jesus is created .

Ha ha. I had a good laugh. Cross out my question? You know why you cant answer my question?
Cos it will kill your question on this thread. If brought forth only means CREATE, then we will say:

And knew her not till she had brought forth (CREATED) her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus. - Matthew 1:25

But the above cannot be true. Can you honestly see your error?
Atleast I have attempted to answer you once. When you answer this once, I will answer you again. Its a dialogue right not a monologue? Thanks

So the question remains...
NumberOne2:

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. - Matthew 1:25
Lets see how smart you are. If brought forth means created like you say, explain it as used above.

Am not an atheist like the op ... But she has won you already coz its clear that the brought forth in proverb 8:24 is the same brought forth used in reference to the creation of earth and the world in psalm 90:2 . Funny enough, uv also said literally it means creation .

Dear Sir,

1) you will need to study English better

2) Many words can have slightly/totally different meanings in different contexts

3) Dictionary tells us that the word BRING FORTH" could mean produce, give birth to, create, bring out.

4) Likewise BEGOTTEN means to produce, procreate, give birth, proceed out.. Etc

5) Jesus came forth from God. JOHN 8:42 John 16:28. The only BEGOTTEN Son.

6) lay man's LANGUAGE, SPIRIT/WORD OF GOD. JOHN 1:1

It's not clear at all, in fact it's wrong.
They are not the same word at all, you are only looking at english translations
the hebrew words in proverbs 8 for "I was brought forth" is chul chiyl
the hebrew word in psalm 90 for "bought forth" is yalad.
they both have diffrent meanings to each other, and each word has more than one meaning.

There is nothing to win or loose here. Atheist or not, we all understand English.

According to your book called bible , mary is a woman , so a sensible person knows brought forth in this context means " born or Produce her firstborn .

So, you mean your god is also a woman to brought forth/born mountains (psalm 90:2) and born his companion god the son named jesus (prv 8:24) ?

Ah, so you know the answer. So why the fuss? Refering to the BOLDED above:
So why cant same SENSE be applied to Prov 8:24? Also using John 3:16 like someone posted as a guide to a clearer picture.

I gave you a links to synonyms of brought forth which you ignored: You will see the word "beget". It can also be "produce from within" or "proceed from" (as in John 3:16). Was that so hard? Rather than forcing it to always be CREATE to score cheap points.

Now using this knowledge of context, I am sure you can answer your own question and let the thread rest. Cheers

PS: Jesus is the WORD of GOD. Words are always with a man (or God), you cannot seperate the 2.

The Hebrew words that we get "bought forth" from can mean many things depending on what is being spoken about.

Gen_14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

King Melchizedek didn't give birth to, or create the bread and wine, he bought out bread and wine for Abraham.

In Proverbs 8:23 the Word of God, was "setup" (anointed) - in verse 24 He was "bought forth" to begin the creation of all things.

This context is not about creation . The hebrew word translated brought forth is 'yatsa' , thats why its translated "brought out bread" in some versions .


In Proverbs 8:23 the Word of God, was "setup" (anointed) - in verse 24 He was "bought forth" to begin the creation of all things.

What does it mean that "he was brought forth "?

What is clear, is that lying is speaking naturally for jw

for the third time, the discussion was not about "or ever thou hadst formed (chul) the earth and the world" in psalm 90
the discussion was about "before the mountains were bought forth (yalad)" in psalm 90

you said it was the same word as in Proverbs 8
I showed you to be wrong and you have been twisting and lying ever since so as not to admit it
you changed twisted "before the mountains were bought forth (yalad)" to another part of the verse "or ever thou hadst formed (chul) the earth and the world"

but why wouldn't jw be speaking naturally when they speak a lie
they even changed their bible to lie.

Just one example they changed their bible to say that the Word is a god
NWT John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god
however the greek word for God in: "and the Word was with God" is "theos"
and the greek word for God here: "and the Word was God" is also "theos".
In the first instance the jw bible say "God" but in the second instance where the same word is used the jw bible say "a god"

jw lie, jw twist what is said, jw change the subject, jw answer question with question, jw change what the Bible says

Christians get their doctrines from the Bible
jw write their bible to suit their doctrines.
Re: My Experience With A Young Christian Girl by johnw74: 1:48am On Jul 16, 2015
John 1:1 and other verses show that the Word is God
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

and Isa 43:10 show that there is no other God created

Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.


The LORD GOD in saying there is no God before or after Him, is just another scripture showing that the LORD did not create the Word.

That guy made a valid point there .

So solve it

" I was BROUGHT Forth (Chul) " prov 8:24

" the earth and the world were BROUGHT Forth ( Chul) " ISV - psalm 90:2 .

Lol , you are exposed cheesy


the discussion was about "before the mountains were bought forth (yalad)" in psalm 90



Are u sick ? Yalad and chuwl both means " to bear " which is "born" , The meaning is clear . bible jesus was bear/born too (chul), and when a child is born , you christians say he is CREATED grin grin

Re: My Experience With A Young Christian Girl by plainbibletruth: 9:52am On Jul 16, 2015
MizJanet:





From your initial conversation (whether  real or imaginary) your purpose is to 'force' your meaning into the words of the passages you picked. 
"people say" .... but ...."brought forth"
"but why are christians not consistent and straight forward ?"
Your goal then is to arrive at a conclusion that will discredit the position of others. 

Incidentally you deliberately refused to respond to the post that showed you how the use of "brought forth" does not necessarily translate to "create" in Matthew 1:25. You know it will punch a big hole in your argument. 

What you seem to be doing is to say that Jesus Christ is not God. In spite of the supremacy of Jesus stated in the Quran and secular history it is amazing that many Muslims and atheists battle to reduce him to the level of other 'ordinary' prophets and would rather revere those other 'ordinary' prophets than Jesus. The Bible then becomes the battle ground where they seek to do this. How sad!

Like NumberOne2 said:
"A simple understanding of context would have spared us all this mess."
And also that:
"You CANNOT use the same context in ALL situations!"

What you intend to do is cause confusion so that in the process you can attempt to invalidate the Bible. 

Take a lesson from that portion of Proverbs you "picked" from: 
"5 O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense. 
6 Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right, 
7 for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 
8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. 
9 They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge."

"35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD, 
36 but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death."
