Are we to take a single verse and mold everything around that or interpret that text in light of the multitude of clear verses?
Why is it that you expect me to handle everything you toss at me while you duck everything?
And then why do you go at me personally instead of discussing the Bible?
Are you more impressed with back ground and credentials than you are the Word of God?
Or if one comes from low standing and without the accepted schooling or popular denominations do you then reject the Word that they share?
Single verse????
I posted a number of verses, in context, containing the very words of Jesus Christ which clearly identify Jesus Christ as the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the Almighty, the one who was dead and is now alive and the one who was, and is, and is to come and the one who is coming quickly and who is identified by John as being the Lord Jesus.
If the very words of Christ are not sufficient to show you who he is, then nothing any of us is going to say will convince you.
