First, the New Testament was written in Greek, not in Hebrew...so your references to Hebrew with respect to NT passages has been confusing for me. Are you reading a Hebrew translation of the Greek? I'm well aware that in the case of the book of Matthew, the Catholics have procured such a...

Usage counts are unreliable and can be misleading. She wrote about Jesus Christ far, far more than she did about angels, and even here she rarely uses such expressions as "divine Christ" (just twice on the EGW CD), or "divine Jesus" (once). So not finding "divine angels" is unsurprising. But...

Why is this doctrine of "God the Spirit" spiritualistic? According to the dictionary, we find that spiritualism stems from a belief in which the spirit is separate from matter (the body) which leads, in religious practice, to communications with that spirit entity, such as even after one has...

To be clear, nowhere in inspiration can the term "God the Son" be found. It is not in the Bible. It is not in the writings of Ellen White. It is not in the writings of William Foy, who was also an Adventist prophet (a rather neglected fact, even though his writings appear among the words of...

Your "fuzzy translation" in this case is an English problem, perhaps, but is not a Hebrew problem. In Hebrew, "malak" means "messenger." When it is a messenger from Heaven, we English speakers generally prefer the word "angel." Both are correct. Here is an example: "But the angel of the...

Forty scriptures which tell a different story than that of "God the Son." LORD God, the Father (Jehovah) Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God Num. 23:19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken...

Juat a quick addition to this and will have to run again. The Tetragrammaton in that image is not in the same script as the rest of the text in the image. Scribes developed such reverence for the "sacred name" that they began having a special scribe who would write that name, while the other...

I don't reckon it makes any change to my faith, no more than the change from the English "Saviour" to the American "Savior" makes for me. Ellen White used both forms. Ask her, or God, for the reason. Inspiration is not language-specific. God can inspire in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or English...

I do not appreciate the misrepresentations of my statements. I never once said the Bible was not inspired. You inferred this without it even being implied. If I were to apply what appears to be your own logic on inspiration to the writings of Ellen White, I would have to say that she was not...

Is it my duty to correct every erroneous thing said about me? Jesus did not. However, lest you should say I have agreed by my silence, or that I have misled you by not protesting the errors you have published, I shall answer the doctrinal part of this, for it is important. First, I do not...

You said: "Christ was not an angel." That is what I was referencing. Perhaps in earlier discussions with someone else you were discussing cherubim. Please know that I have never posted here before signing up a day or so ago, so I am not a reincarnation of someone with whom you may have...

Ellen White "went here." You ask if God has preserved His word. Read the following statements from Ellen White, and then I would be interested in your own answer to the question. My answer would be this: "every one of us needs to stand intelligently on the Word. We cannot afford to be...

It is written: The KJV is correct. So was Paul. But that the Bible should be questioned on this point illustrates the need of studying God's word in its original language. People of the Book should appreciate more its actual source text. The word "elohim" is very important to this...

The word "echad" used in Genesis 1:5 should be translated as "first," according to my Hebrew professors, which is distinct from the other days of creation where the numbers should be cardinal instead of ordinal. In other words, "echad" here is not specifying a unity, but rather a beginning...

To say "God is love" is different than saying "God is loving" or "God loves." The expression presents God as consisting of love, every bit as much as saying "God is light" or "God is fire." The love, light, and fire are all nouns, not adjectives. These define God in a way that would be...

We are not even supposed to have a creed other than the Bible, much less use the name of a false god in it. There is no Biblical Hebrew equivalent for the word. There is no Biblical support for even the concept, as attested by even the president of Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, a...

Yes, he was.

This is an esoteric point I will make here, but it has a bearing on an important text in Exodus 6:3 which has been mistranslated on account of people having missed this point, so I feel it is still worth making: There are zero "YHWH" written by Moses in Gen. 19:24. He would have written "YHW."...

I should have looked at the Hebrew text before posting. I was not thinking about the fact that the noun is modified by an adjective in the verse, and the adjective will tell us whether the noun is plural or singular. You are correct, as the word "other" in Hebrew is also plural, so, as you...
