Wait a minute. Do you actually think that when GB said "he's a scholar of the original languages", that he was speaking about you? Take another look at his post before you fall all over yourself accepting his praise. All he said about you is that you're entitled to your opinion, whatever it is. Hardly a "refreshing" view.

Sounds a bit harsh, but suit yourself.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou're not talking right robbie. Jesus' "enemies" testimony about Jesus isn't my "testimony". I base my belief on God's Word concerning the person of Jesus Christ and His testimony about Himself. Get that strait!
nonsense the Jews, Christ's enemies upon which you base your testimony were wrong about Christ breaking the sabbath, they were also wrong about him making himself equal to God the very same thing that you are now parroting, oh dear, perhaps you would have picked up stones too, who can say?
John 5:17
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Look closely at what Jesus said in the verse above, please. Because Jesus said, "my father worketh hitherto, and I work", that is why the Jews accused Jesus of making Himself equal to God.
"My father works, and I work." Equality! You just have to see it robbie. It's in as simple as it gets English. No other idea or thought can be attached to the phraseology other than making both God and Jesus equal.
Jesus said it Himself. Believe the "testimony" of Jesus, not the Watchtower.

Originally posted by josephwmore nonsense! your citation is not a claim to be equal and no matter how much you or the Jews of Christ's time try to make it so, it will never be. Your testimony is based on what Jesus enemies stated, they were wrong about him breaking the sabbath and they were wrong about him making himself equal to God, you believe them if you like.

Originally posted by sonshipIts not a claim for equality no matter how much you or Jesus enemies want it to be. Why do you hate Jesus, what bad thing has he done to you?

Originally posted by sonshipAppreciated. I tried to word it as carefully as I could to convey a simple idea.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieObviously you are not reading what I posted. It is Jesus' own words I quoted to you. I'll try again in case you had something in your eye before. 😉

If you can't see and understand what it is here Jesus is saying, then what you are doing essentially is calling Jesus a fraud just as did His enemies.

Then why did the Jews accuse Jesus of making Himself equal with God when He said "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work"?
I'd really like to know how you will answer that!

What the hell kind of logic is that? Not even the communists are so stupid to think that that would make everybody equal.
And if your ability to reason and understand the teachings of Christ and the Apostles are no better than the Pharisees then you are truly lost.
Originally posted by Rajk999I know, its pretty low even for a trinitarian. The amusing thing is how they try to build a case for their doctrine on the most flimsiest and ludicrous of grounds and then to decry that anyone that doesn't except their lack of rationality is a heretic and incapable of rational thought themselves.
