As far as Acts 20:28 goes thats referring to Christ.

You are being TOTALLY intellectually dishonest and I don't even think you realize it. The term for God used there is the SAME term used for God, The Father.

Now we can sit and debate this all you want, but when dishonesty enters the debate you can not have a dileberation...It's fine for you to use the same scriptures as I do, but you can not honestly mix and match the meanings of words when you want it to fit your context.

I suggest you get a concordance and a lexicon and start researching these words so you can have at least some idea of what's going on.

I suppose you're gonna tell me Isaiah 45:23 and Phillipians 2:9-11 that we confess to God the Father and Jesus? And if Jesus is Lord what does that make God the father? Less than Jesus, when you pointed out...

"...for my Father is greater than I." John 14:28

Me being dishonest....huh. You can't even read what I write. I have answered this VERY question several times just on this thread.

Its just YOU chose to ignore it.

I have said it. I have explained it. I have explained it again. I will not explain it again to you because you will ignore it again and again.

I don't know WHAT the hebrew word is, and I don't care. But even if what you are saying is true regarding that word it fits perfectly with what explained earlier on this thread regarding how Christ can be considered God. In ways He CAN be considered the Father because He is the Creator.

If GW Bush assigns a staff member to organize a new agency who is the creator and father of that agency? Is it the President himself or the staff member that was assigned?

He is still not His Father, but He is the Creator and hence can be in some ways considered the Father of this world.

There is no mixing and matching. Go back about 20 posts and re read my post about how the creation took place. Then hopefully you will yourself be honest, and at least see my point. Hopefully you will see that in the scriptures some use the same terminology to refer to BOTH, but it depends on context as to what it actually means.

Until you honestly grasp that concept, there is no need for you to reply.
