T-Bone Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Some more great thoughts there, Jerry! I follow you on all that stuff about Jesus’ existence…wierwille’s botched dissecting of John 1:1, the Logos and the Greek word for “with” (pros) always left me royally confused – and I chalked it up to my inability to track what he was saying. Let’s see…his double-talk went something like this: “The Logos was with (pros) God…pros means together with yet distinctly independent of…so… in the beginning - how could Jesus Christ be together with God yet distinctly independent of God? Well, there's only one way that's possible - in what you and I would call the mind of God – in his foreknowledge.” Oh really? So, God had this thought about Jesus Christ. And that thought…that idea…was together within the mind of God yet distinctly independent of God’s mind. Huh? Besides being a terrible interpreter of Scripture wierwille was prone to shoehorn his convoluted logic into a theological box of errors – and we were forbidden to think outside the box…his book Jesus Christ is Not God was a feeble attempt to mischaracterize and trivialize Jesus Christ’s divine nature…But who cares about that stifling…confining theological box of errors - I enjoy the freedom to explore my faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most modern scholars believe the first gospel written was Mark and that it was written in about 70 CE. Paul's death is placed at 64 CE. Obviously, he would have written the epistles before the date of

Ok. My initial point here is salvation cannot be lost. If a man sows to the flesh, the old man nature, that man will reap the consequences of his actions - both now and loss of reward at the gathering
