My sense is that in Hebrews 1, it is the resurrected/glorifed Jesus, not the earthly Jesus, who upholds the universe with his power. What do you think? It is the glorified Jesus whom God appointed "heir of all things" (v.2) in whom God…

1) Given the dozens, more likely, scores, of CD forum posts you and I have created on the subject over the years, I'm confident that your characterization of my view of the Bible is knowingly incomplete and misleading.
2) Your …

I think you're right to raise the broader context of Hebrews 1, Wolfgang, as an example of a clear distinction between God and Jesus:
- Hebrews 1.2 - "In these last days (God) has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed t…

First, and most important, I don't KNOW. No one KNOWS, because no one knows what Mueller and his team have uncovered. I don't KNOW that additional indictments will come, and you don't KNOW that further additional indictments will not c…

Your question seemed to cite collusion as an example of a "serious crime." My response, in which I gave examples of possible collusion, could have corrected that citation, but did not. My bad.

The specific intention of your post is not clear to me, C.M. but there's enough in it for me to respond this way: When I say I deny the deity of Jesus, I do not mean or intend to "trample under foot" either him or his work; neither doe…

I actually read the memo, too, and gave my initial reactions to it in my first post in this thread, all of which I stand by, by the way, here five hours after I posted them. I hope you'll also "actually read" the Democrats' footnoted m…

For what it's worth, initial reaction from people experienced in law enforcement and the intelligence community is, as I figured it would be, quite damning of the Nunes memo, the consensus being that it's even less consequential than most critic…

I respect, even admire, your confidence in the face of all the publicly available evidence (who knows how much Mueller has that hasn't leaked!) No collusion... in spite of the fact that SO MANY Trump campaign officials met with Russian…

The reference here should be to Revelation 1.4, NOT John 1.4. Sorry.

You and I don't know what Mueller has found because he and his team don't leak. Neither of us knew that Papadopolous was going to plead guilty. My goodness, I bet neither of us had ever heard of Papadopolous before his guilty plea! Tha…

The memo is declassified, incomplete, and inconsequential insinuation. I don't understand what the fuss about it was since it offers almost nothing consequential to the debate about the FBI probe or the FISA process it and the broader …

Something tells me you wouldn't have found that to be a persuasive argument, or even one that advanced the discussion. And I would have agreed with you.

BILL:
In my view, the sinlessness of Jesus is an issue distinct from the issue of his divinity. I think the few NT references to his sinlessness do not speak to the divinity issue.As to how we're saved, …

And one either engages the 26 texts I previously cited, or one doesn't. It seems we each have chosen this day.

Except that on multiple occasions in the Gospels Jesus makes clear his belief that he is not God
- Matthew 26.39 - Jesus' will is unique from God's will, so much so that his will might contradict God's will. Therefore Jesus …

Given that this is how you "reconcile" the many verses to which I referred, surely you will find it an acceptable response from Wolfgang and me if we tell you that we "reconcile" John 2.19 this way: So simple, David. We believe…

But you must address a similar question, David: How do YOU reconcile Acts 5.30? If Jesus (God) raised himself, why do Peter and the apostles tell the council that the God of their ancestors raised Jesus? Why is there NO suggestion of J…

It surprises me that you're not in favor of a wall that you believe would "very soon pay for itself." What's your objection to a wall?

Here you ask me to show that we don't "need" a wall to "help curb illegal border crossings." Do we "need" a wall because there are no other ways to curb illegal border crossings? No. Are illegal border crossings - which have declined 8…

His comments are relevant, in my view, because we don't need a wall. They also matter to me because they are part of a larger pattern of pathological lying the likes of which we have never before witnessed in American presidential poli…

I made an assertion of fact - that Trump many times promised that Mexico would pay for the wall - and based on that assertion of fact contended that American taxpayers should not pay for a wall the president promised would be paid for …

Please note that I contended that a wall is a "profoundly wrong symbol" for a nation of immigrants. So the issue I raised has nothing to do with legal or illegal immigration. It has to do with the symbolism of a wall.<…

I can't speak for any "liberals" other than myself, but I oppose the wall because...
- We don't need it... unless the president is lying to us (yet again) when he tells us that illegal border crossings are down nearly 80% since he took…

I remember that in the previous CD forums you posted the example of your and your wife's plans for children as an illustration of a "word" that took on flesh. I believed your example was on-point and powerful then, and still believe it…

I don't think any of us deny that Jesus came in the flesh.... It's a joy to dance on common ground!

I'm curious about your analysis of word choice.
You claim that "a lot of speculation follows terms" such as "my guess is" and "likely because." How much speculation follows phrases such as "Bad guess. GOPers don't want the FBI…

I'm curious about the intention behind your citing the verses from 1 John 4, C.M. Is it your view that one or more posters in this thread refuse to "acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh"? For what it's worth, I know of n…
