Nathan, in the recent past, on another thread, we briefly discussed these self same passages. I presented THREE independent authorities on youtubes all fully explaining what John 1 is actually saying. Also a full document showing clearly that Jesus is not the word or logos of God. I could present all these again, but you are not interested in engaging properly in these matters. I will discuss things with you word by word, one reference at a time, with genuine dialogue, but I rather suspect you do not want this. You want to dictate. Nathan is right. Always right. But you will not properly engage but rather obfuscate a debate with huge data dumps that kill any prospect of orderly debate. Micah 5: 2. But thou, O Bethlehem, Ephrata, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OLD, FROM EVERLASTING. Amen, sister... God the Father, Christ and the Holy Spirit are ETERNAL, from the Everlasting to Everlasting.
Here is a picture of Chris/God and Jesus are the same Ancient of Days in Daniel 7:9-10 Daniel's Vision of the Ancient of Days Christ in the Old Testament and the Resurrected Jesus are the same Being or Person. Daniel 7:9-10 As I/Daniel continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.… Cross References Matthew 28:3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
Mark 9:3 His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.
Revelation 1:14-18 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I/Jesus am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. Revelation 20:4 Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Someone wrote: The Son of God in the Old Testament:
Any time the Old Testament Scriptures state that someone saw God, they saw the pre-incarnate Christ, Jesus himself, before he was born and lived as a human being through the virgin birth. John 1:18 states that "no man hath seen God at any time' the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared (revealed) him." Appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament are theologically called "Christophanies". Christ the Lord God walked, talked in the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve.
The word "God" in the book of Genesis speaks of "Elohim/plural- Father, Christ and Holy Spirit" or the Trinity, but "the LORD, and "the LORD God", who spoke personally to Adam and Eve, Moses, Abraham and many of the Old Testament prophets, is the personal and visible manifestation of God, which is Christ Jesus. The personal name of God in the Old Testament is "Yahweh", translated "LORD" (All Capitol letters) In the KJV, 1 Cor. 15:47 states that Jesus is "The Lord" from heaven,
(Note:) the title "Lord" in this verse has the Greek article "the" Meaning that "The LORD", Hebrew "Yahweh" in the Old Testament, is Jesus, before He left His home in heaven and entered the stream of humanity through the virgin birth. Jesus Christ of the New Testament, and "Yahweh" of the Old Testament are one and the same!
Jesus appeared personally, face to face with Moses and the Old Testament prophets of God. Ex. 33:11 where "the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend." Exodus 24:9-11 Moses and seventy elders of Israel "saw the God of Israel" Jesus is the visible manifestation of "The God of Israel" God, in the person of Jesus, and two angels walked up to Abraham's tent and had dinner with him before they destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis ch. 18 and 19.
Christ/Jesus in the "Ancient of Days", in Daniel 7: 9-14 (Notice the description is basically the same as the glorified Christ in Rev. 1:12-18. Jesus was in the cloud that followed the children of Israel through the Red Sea. 1 Cor. 10:4 - Ex. 14:14, 19 & 25. The "angel of God" literally means "the appearance of God" (Notice Jesus looked out of the cloud and shot the wheels off of Pharoah's chariots while they were in the dry bottom of the Red Sea!)
The Scriptures clearly teach that "Jesus", of the New Testament, and "Yahweh", translated "LORD", of the Old Testament, are the same person - the Second Person of the Trinity, the "revealed", or "manifest" Person of Almighty God. 1 Cor. 15:47 states that Jesus is "THE Lord" from heaven, (Note: the name "Jesus" has the Greek article "the"). 1 Cor. 15:47 is stating that the "Lord", Hebrew "Yahweh" in the Old Testament, is Jesus, before He left his home in heaven and entered the stream of humanity through the virgin birth.

I still believe Jesus existed from the beginning. The theme of the entire Bible is Christ, he didn't just come into being 2000 years ago. That verse I quoted speaks for itself, "There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man".. Jesus said it point blank, "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me" (John 6:38). No interpretation necessary, he was sent and not created. Of course, his body was created because he needed a vessel to manifest the Word in the flesh, but the Word (Yeshua) existed from the beginning. "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever" (Hebrews 13:8)
And yes, the Jews sought to stone him because they believed he was claiming to be God. They didn't misunderstand him, nor did Christ correct them, because he was in fact claiming to be the Son of God from long before Abraham.

I listened this preacher who is Anti-Triune God, and Jesus is NOT God, he believes and teaches almost exactly just like You/Ram and fixit. The spirits of Arius the Anti-Triune God and Jesus is NOT God, he was a RCC priest and his followers excommunicated from priesthood, in the 7th century are still alive and growing. Yikes!
God the Father, Christ and the Holy Spirit are Eternal! from Everlasting to Everlasting.
~~ God the Father is the Creator/Designer of the Universe and of all things, and Christ the Lord God is the Father Co-creator of all things also. God the Father called the Son/Christ " God and Lord/Yahweh."Heb. 1: 8-12 8 But unto the Son he saith, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail." 351 Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled in Jesus Christ

Arius (/əˈraɪəs, ˈɛəri-/; Koinē Greek: Ἄρειος, Áreios; 250 or 256–336)
was a Cyrenaic presbyter, ascetic, and priest best known for the doctrine of Arianism.[1][2] His teachings about the nature of the Godhead in Christianity, which emphasized God the Father's uniqueness and Christ's subordination under the Father,[3] and his opposition to what would become the dominant Christology, Homoousian Christology, made him a primary topic of the First Council of Nicaea convened by Emperor Constantine the Great in 325. After Emperors Licinius and Constantine legalized and formalized the Christianity of the time in the Roman Empire, Constantine sought to unify the newly recognized Church and remove theological divisions.[4] The Christian Church was divided over disagreements on Christology, or the nature of the relationship between the first and second persons of the Trinity. Homoousian Christians, including Athanasius of Alexandria, used Arius and Arianism as epithets to describe those who disagreed with their doctrine of coequal Trinitarianism, a Homoousian Christology representing God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son as "of one essence" ("consubstantial") and co-eternal. Negative writings describe Arius' theology as one in which there was a time before the Son of God, when only God the Father existed. Despite concerted opposition, Arian Christian churches persisted throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, especially in various Germanic kingdoms, until suppressed by military conquest or voluntary royal conversion between the fifth and seventh centuries.
The Son's precise relationship with the Father had been discussed for decades before Arius' advent; Arius intensified the controversy and carried it to a Church-wide audience, where others like Eusebius of Nicomedia proved much more influential in the long run. In fact, some later Arians disavowed the name, claiming not to have been familiar with the man or his specific teachings.[5][6] However, because the conflict between Arius and his foes brought the issue to the theological forefront, the doctrine he proclaimed—though had not originated—is generally labeled as "his".en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arius~~ God the Father, Christ and the Holy Spirit are Eternal! from Everlasting to Everlasting. Micah 5: 2. But thou, O Bethlehem, Ephrata, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OLD, FROM EVERLASTING.

People have been arguing about the trinity since the 4th century. The reason neither side has won in all those years is because neither side has any evidence. It’s all just conjecture. There is nothing based on demonstrable reality.

If you can’t be certain about the most basic question of the nature god, then there isn’t any hope to get agreement on any other ideas when you can’t get past this basic one. This is why there are so many denominations. Millions of hours have been wasted on the Trinity debate. Better to spend your time on things that are real, where you can help yourself, and others. I’m waiting to see next a long debate on; How many angels can dance on the head of pin?

I've heard both sides... To be honest, I believe if someone accepts Jesus as the only begotten Son of God, believes Jesus has risen, reigns in heaven, and will return in judgement with all the power in heaven and earth, that's enough to be saved. If Jesus wasn't deity from the beginning, he certainly is now, and that's all one needs to comprehend. I however, am personally convinced that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all existed in Genesis one..
God the Father (El), referring to YHVH, and Elohim in the plural, as indicated in "Let us make man in our image" (Genesis 1:26)
The Holy Spirit was there from the beginning too, "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" The (Genesis 1:2). Father the knowledge, Son the Word, Spirit the power, all comprise God the One.
"No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known" (John 1:18 NIV).
"Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Revelation 22: 12-13).
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" (Micah 5:2).
"The LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee" (Zechariah 14:5). Who's returning in judgement?
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD" (Mark 1:3).. The LORD, not just another man.

Non Trinitarians such as the JWs believe the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit and that Jesus is diety, just that Jesus was the first born of all creation. Col 1 v 15. The verses you give refer to non Trinitarians as much as Trnitarians. Think about it, Jesus was created first and helped the Father create the world. They were all there in Genesis 1. John 1 v 18 in KJ says, No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Tell me how this contridicts with non Trinitarian views? You are only looking at it through Trinitarian eyes.

It can also be seriously contested that what John was meaning was: First we had Moses, who brought the old law, then later Christ came on the scene and brought grace and truth. No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten son (Jesus), who is (NOW) in the bosom of the the Father, he declared him to us (during his ministry). John 1 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.*** Good Observation! So, my explaination is No man has seen God the Father at any time in the Old Testament; and the Lord/God that people SAW was Christ God the Son. In 95 A.D. After Jesus had paid the ransom price on Calvary, God the Father allowed John the apostle to see His Spirit manifests and sits on the throne in heaven Rev. Chapters 4-5.

Nathan is good for his science fiction posts. He could be the planets alien ambassador, but I like Betty better. youtu.be/92HThhW0pAE*** Remember, Science fiction Star Trek series in 1960s with Giant TV Screen, computers, flip phones, laser weapons, USS enterprise Space ships... Now, is Science Facts we have giant TV screens, flip phones, laser weapons, space ships/Space Force Station in space. These things are no longer Science fiction but Science Facts. FYI: Gene Roddenberry became an atheist when he was a teenager. His parents were religious. I have noticed that many big ideas or inventions take several generations before they become common knowledge. - MRNA, the idea behind the COVID vaccine was discovered in the 1960's- The electric car was produced long before TESLA ( 1890–91 by William Morrison of Des Moines, Iowa)I worked with these two technologies about 30 years ago and thought they must be "from the future". 3D Scanners youtu.be/BrcuS7dpQokXRF Handheld Analyzers youtu.be/I97CMDJSTUYPrinted organs youtu.be/-Boc_TPwwYo

Gene R. was allowed to know these things! in 1960s.

18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Both verses can't be true. Exodus 33:11 KJV
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.They can if the second verse was an expression of speech.

More problems later on in Exodus 33 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Nathan had his own Proboards forum but he didn't let anyone post apart from himself. At least he lets Wally post on TMB without squashing him. ** That is another lie from you. I had it opened forum then some body tried to sabotage with ads, posts to cause trouble and Chaos. I locked and deleted the trouble makers from postingb but they are welcome to read the threads. Then I opened a board for posting for people asking questions. Would you be OK to only ask questions on TMB?
