MaxInDHouse:
Is there any difference between being God and a God?

GothamCities:
Yeah, there is.
There's nothing like a God because there's only one God - The God.
A god, not a God refers to idols.

MaxInDHouse:
Hilarious!

If you must know Bible interpreters used the lower case for the Gods they called idols but to worshipers of Zeus, Hermes, Jupiter, Ra and likes they are all GODS.
So the only difference is the name not upper or lower case.
PRESIDENT, President and president means the same thing!

MaxInDHouse:
John is talking about the origin of this one who later became the word of God.

It's like saying:
"The president of Nigeria WAS a student of St Peter Anglican church" that doesn't mean he has become the president as a student in primary school nah!

GothamCities:
Of course to the worshippers of Zeus, Ra, Hermes, etc, they're all Gods but do we submit to their standards or the standards of the Holy Scriptures?

FreeIgboho:
Ok, let's replace "word" with president and you'll see you're obviously wrong:
"In the beginning was the president, and the president was with..."
See the nonsense? You'd use the president's name: "In the beginning was John, and John was with..."

MaxInDHouse:
The nonsense is when a translator says the word WAS God and with God, no one has seen God but people saw the word!
The person in question could be with anyone nah, the point of emphasis is that the word has been with God in the beginning that doesn't mean he became the word in the beginning.

FreeIgboho:
I think you have a problem with language syntax.
"In the beginning was the president of Nigeria and the president of Nigeria was with..."
Who'd ever write that??

MaxInDHouse:
Millions have written things like that when the person is no longer physically around!

FreeIgboho:
God has no definition in human terms.

MaxInDHouse:
So you have to keep what you know while i keep mine no wahala!

FreeIgboho:
That's the thing - you don't know anything, neither do I. So we ree in no position to be saying whether the Word of God can be God and at same time be with God. Just as we are in no position to say whether God can be in heaven and at same time be in each of us or is able to listen to a million prayers all at once, etc

MaxInDHouse:
I and my millions of my faithful brothers globally have agreed on the definition of our own God so there's no need crossing the lines if you don't have any definition for your own God!

FreeIgboho:
Man (which includes you and your brothers) know almost nothing talkless of defining God. We only know Jesus is God from evidence NOT from our reasoning or logic. See below, same thing happened with Simeon the old man and Anna, the old widow:

Mathew 2:
The star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them. It finally stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy. 11 The Wise Men went to the house. There they saw the child with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him.

MaxInDHouse:
Guy don't worry yourself further it's not easy to agree since you have no definition for your own God i believe you already know where the problem is and that settles the issue.
We have a definition of God and we've all agreed upon that definition so it is WORKING for our faith {James 2:18} and yielding positive results in our midst! John 13:34-35

As for what you quoted this is what my own Bible says:

And when they went into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and falling down, they did obeisance to him. Matthew 2:11a

FreeIgboho:
You read your Bible, right? Which other time do you see anybody do obeisance to child, talkless if one born in a manger where animals are kept?

MaxInDHouse:
ọmọ it's obeisance and it could be done to anyone! Act 10:25

FreeIgboho:
Here is what you quoted. Can you imagine Jesus saying this?
25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

GothamCities:
Yeah, there is.

There's nothing like a God because there's only one God - The God.

A god, not a God refers to idols.

To us, there is only one God - the God. One Father, the Father. Not father (small f). This capital F of a Father is who Jesus was called in Isaiah 9:6. The Everlasting Father. Not the Everlasting father. The Son that was born is not the father or the everlasting father but The Everlasting Father which is also the Mighty God.

El Gib
bowr ("mighty God " title is not exclusive to Jesus.
Mighty God is a title of Man, Yahweh, angels etc.

Compare Exodus 6:3 & Isaiah 6:9 to identify the difference.
ONLY Yahweh is the Almighty God.

Ruke1990:
We concluded that Jesus is God. The Jehovah's witnesses here o. Nairaland were unable to disprove it or argue further because the evidences were too many from the scripture

22jumpstreet:
Your people can talk about your gods who is dust.
It does not matter....
The creator and source of everything can't be made of dust. .....so qualms.
My God is the universal, eternal, indivisible source and creator of all things visible and invisible.....he created all the realms and is not part of any one. He is all the realms. I am a spark of the whole....

GothamCities:
God didn't make Moses God. He only made him a god, not God to Pharaoh. Only Pharaoh. To command pharaoh and to show him power. That's all.

Jesus was not made God. He is God. Tell me where He was made God. Moses was not Devine. Jesus is. He is the Everlasting Father, the Mighty God.

Janosky:
You referenced your own God as "HE".
Later you go say nah 3 persons or 3 spirits.

22jumpstreet:
For a purpose...

Janosky:
He can never be triune..

Janosky:
Acts 10:25
International Standard Version
"When Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him, bowed down at his feet, and began to worship him.

NET Bible
So when Peter came in, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.

New Heart English Bible
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

Webster's Bible Translation
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

Weymouth New Testament
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him, and threw himself at his feet to do him homage


Weymouth New Testament, Young's Literal Translation & New World Translation gave the correct rendition of Acts 10:25.

ALL your Trinitarian mentors contravened Matthew 4:10 by creating the impression that Cornelius worshipped Jesus apostle.
Jesus Christ himself @ Matthew 4:10 faulted the rendition of Matthew 2:11.


Matthew 4:10 is proof Jesus Christ is NOT the God Almighty."

MaxInDHouse:
He said the same thing several times but people like you just turned the blind eye!

Janosky:

Oga,You want to deceive yourself.

Can you provide evidence that you REMOVED Revelation 3:12, Matthew 27:46 and John 20:17,30-31 from your Bible?

The statements referenced in those verses were from Jesus Christ himself.

You worshipping two spirits, did Jesus Christ worship 2 Spirits?
