Emusan:


I'm not watchtower that twisted God's word.

I quoted a translation, don't tell me you don't read my post.

Well, I'm not watchtower, watchtower is found of doing that.
"Thou shalt not lie"


Emusan:


I provided a translation even the person you're discussing with yesterday quoted this translation "Before the world began, the Word was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God."

https://biblehub.com/john/1-1.htm

Emusan Where did you invent your translation?
Emusan:


The fact that you can't boldly say YES TWO BEGINNING can happen in a system of thing shows you're not to be taking serious.

Well, let me re-emphasize it again, YOU CANT HAVE TWO BEGINNINGS in a system of thing.

So both verse 1&2 are talking about the same BEGINNING.

Did your own Bible say the 2 beings in John 1:1 had the same beginning?

Emusan:


God can't lie.
The FIRST THING TO BE CREATED IN THE BEGINNING is Heavens and the Earth. Gen 1:1.

Roman11:35-36, who came through the Father?

Did Emusan come through his Father?

Who is the first born in Genesis 49:3

Who is the first born in Colossians 1:15?

Michael547:

Oga you are obviously denying verse 2 that says that it was in the beginning that Jesus was actually with God not before the beginning. You are simply editing bible verses with your thought.

Can you even listen to yourself?

It's obvious that you don't know what you're doing here.
Re: In What Way Is The Father Greater Than The Son? by Michael547(m): 10:20pm On Feb 15
Emusan:


I've answered this your question multiple times.

You can't have TWO BEGINNINGS in a system of thing.

FACT!!!
I agree you can't have Two beginnings. But you are the one adding before and after to those verses which are talking about the same beginnings. Verse 2 is actually talking about the beginning in verse 1. And it explains that it was at that beginning that Jesus was with God, Not before.

Show me where the bible says Jesus was with God Before The Beginning in John 1: 1-3.
Re: In What Way Is The Father Greater Than The Son? by Emusan(m): 10:21pm On Feb 15
Michael547:

So if it was in the beginning of the creation that Jesus was with God as explained in verse 2, why was Jesus not with God before the creation of heaven and earth?

Oh my goodness.

What kind of human being is this?

Can you even read this nonsense question you asked again and again?

This settled the whole thing.

So according to Gen 1:1 "Earth IN THE BEGINNING, God created the Heavens and the Earth"

But you are the one adding before and after to those verses which are talking about the same beginnings. Verse 2 is actually talking about the beginning in verse 1. And it explains that it was at that beginning that Jesus was with God, Not before.

I didn't add anything, you already show that you lack simple comprehension.

Take time to read my post again.

Oh that's my bad it ERV I mistake it for ESV.

But with that the point of verse 1 is that Jesus was olaced before THE BEGINNING.

Oga i have read your post. You are insisting that the beginning in John 1:1 is the same as Genesis 1:1. Now John 1:2 says that it was at that beginning that Jesus was with God. So where was Jesus before the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth?

You don't even need to stress this further.

You already agreed that there can't be TWO BEGINNINGS.

So, which point do you want to make if "In The Beginning" in Gen 1:1 is different from another "In The BEGINNING" from John 1:1-2?

The point is that Genesis 1:1 is referring to the beginning of the creation of the heavens and earth. John 1:1 is referring to the Original or 'Very' beginning that refers to God's first creative act. John 1:1 state that Jesus 'was' in the beginning, not before It. verse 2 also shows that it was in that same beginning as verse 1 not before it, that Jesus was with God.

Janosky:

"Thou shalt not lie"

That watchtower added words that are not found in the manuscripts to their translation.

Even you know this truth.

https://biblehub.com/john/1-1.htm

Emusan Where did you invent your translation?

Where watchtower invented their from.

Did your own Bible say the 2 beings in John 1:1 had the same beginning?

The translation never said THE TWO BEINGS even had a BEGINNING in the first place.

Roman11:35-36, who came through the Father?

JaNosense

Did Emusan come through his Father?

Yes!

Who is the first born in Genesis 49:3

Who is the first born in Colossians 1:15?

You tell us. cheesy grin cheesy grin

Kai you need to go back to primary school.

This is ERV John 1:1 again, this time read it like you want to answer it in an exam tomorrow.

"Before the world began, the Word was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Well, I asked you a question which you turn blind eyes to, why?

Well, I asked you a question which you turn blind eyes to, why?
If the The beginning refers to when the World began, was it that beginning in verse 2 that Jesus was with God? Where was Jesus before the beginning of the world?
Oga verse 2 in your translation clearly implies that Jesus was with God in the beginning not before the world began. Why are you only showing verse 1 na?
Re: In What Way Is The Father Greater Than The Son? by Emusan(m): 10:54pm On Feb 15
You're just going round in circles very pathetic.

Michael547:

Yes!

Where was Jesus before the beginning of the world?

I've answered that before.

Don't take us back.

Why did you ignore my question?

Oga verse 2 in your translation clearly implies that Jesus was with God in the beginning not before the world began. Why are you only showing verse 1 na? Show it together with verse 2.
Why did verse 2 in your translation not tell us that it was 'before' and not 'in the beginning' of the world that Jesus was with God?

Where watchtower invented their from.

Your own heart knows that the Watchtower did not add anything to alter the meaning of the holy scriptures.
Your Trinitarian scholars agreed that the greek word "dia antou" means 'Instrumentality', Agency.
Confirmed at Hebrew 1:2 & Colossians 1:16.
Oga, don't be DECEIVING YOURSELF.

Emusan:

[quote author=Emusan post=128476733]

The translation never said THE TWO BEINGS even had a BEGINNING in the first place.
Ok.
Emusan:


JaNosense

Emusan you agree you came through your Father/Senior.
But you want to shift the goal post because Romans 11:35-36 is bitter pill to your delusion.
Jesus Christ came through his Father/Senior in the spiritual realm.
Emusan:


You tell us.


In Emusan's Bible is Every First born is a creature?
Yes.
Oga,stick this Bible truth into your brain.

lost fraud jw janosky, you forever loving to call the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit of the Bible
3 deities/3 god's:

Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, that is his natural way of speaking, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Just remove the SPIRITUAL REALM from your point and see clearly cheesy cheesy grin


In Emusan's Bible Every First born is a creature.

You yourself know that that translation sounds contradictory.
That is why most translations uses in the beginning in verse 1.
Your Erv translation does not even show in verse 1 that Jesus and God were together before the world began. Verse 2 of your erv translation explains that 'Jesus was with God' as stated in verse 1, in the beginning of the world not even before it. So I don't get where you are getting your explanation from.

Very cheap excuse.

That is why most translations uses in the beginning in verse 1.

And what they were explaining is still the same.

Your Erv translation does not even show in verse 1 that Jesus and God were together before the world began.

At this point is when I gave up on you and shows that I've been discussing with a pupil.

You're a chronicle liar.

This is ERV of John 1:1 "Before the world began, the Word was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God."

I've posted this same verse more than three times, yet you can speed that nonsense up.

Verse 2 of your erv translation explains that 'Jesus was with God' as stated in verse 1, in the beginning of the world not even before. So I don't get where you are getting your explanation from.

You already agreed that there can't be TWO BEGINNINGS.

So what is your point and explanation about John 1:1-2?
