What does this have to do with 1Cor 8:6? Is this an exegetical argument?Untrue. It is you who has no evidence whatsoever. All you can do is sweep aside verses that destroy your manmade doctrine and push forth eisegesis.

Yes, that is precisely what it says, though in the past tense as it is referencing his pre-incarnate existence. God cannot cease to be God!Broken record. Notice how this is NOT "who is God?" Eisegesis.
And @civic has demonstrated the fallacy of this argument in post 12!Not at all. The goal post is what is the revealed word in Scripture. There is only one God, YHWH, Jesus' God, who we relate to as Father.
This is stated over and over and over again in Scripture.
So you believe Jesus is God.....but is not a separate personage as in God the Father. So how do you wrap your mind around and reconcile that Jesus prayed to his Father? Was he praying to himself? Truly how does that work in your mind. Please explain.Not at all. The goal post is what is the revealed word in Scripture. There is only one God, YHWH, Jesus' God, who we relate to as Father.

No. You must have misunderstood what I wrote. Jesus has a God, whose name is YHWH, who is the only true God that we relate to as Father.So you believe Jesus is God
if the Lord Jesus has a God, then you have two Gods. for, Hebrews 1:10 "And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:" only God laid the foundation of the EARTH. Zechariah 12:1 "The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him."No. You must have misunderstood what I wrote. Jesus has a God, whose name is YHWH, who is the only true God that we relate to as Father.
jesus is a deityNo. You must have misunderstood what I wrote. Jesus has a God, whose name is YHWH,
actually hebrew was vocalic per josephus. And, per josephus, His name is vowels.No. You must have misunderstood what I wrote. Jesus has a God, whose name is YHWH, who is the only true God that we relate to as Father.
jesus is a deity
I see. Just sweep aside the OP and interject your own anti-Scriptural comments.Jesus as an actual son of God, has His same nature.
GINOLJC, to allGod deposited His attributes in souls...
this is the 'talents'...
the birthright.
this is why the satanic realm coveted eden
and made her to fall...
to acquire.
the war is over the birthright.
According to your logic and reasoning then the Father cannot be the Lord anywhere in the Old or New Testaments since the passages below declare there is only ONE LORD. And we know that the NT Greek word Kurios is the OT word YHWH translated from the Hebrew into the Greek.One of the great myths of the 4th century manmade deification of Jesus is to claim he made a parallel statement as God to Moses. This thread explodes that myth. The question of who God is must be looked at from the perspective of Is 45:5 and 1 COR 8:6
Is 45:5 (REV) I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God.
God's name is explicitly YHWH and note his use of singular pronouns? Singular denotes one and not 3-in-1. This is consistent with 1 COR 8:6, there is only one God, the Father. This logically means there is no trinitarian God, no God the Son, no God the Holy Spirit, no 3-in-1 God.
P1. YHWH is the only God (who we relate to as father).
P2. Jesus is not YHWH.
C. Jesus is not God
From this perspective, let's examine the great I am statements.The VOICE translation renders the eternal name YHWH to honor God's defining attribute he revealed in Ex 3:14.
Eternal One: 14 I AM WHO I AM.[a] This is what you should tell the people of Israel: “I AM has sent me to rescue you.”Read full chapterFootnotes3:14 “Eternal One” is derived from the Hebrew word meaning, “I am.”
The significance of this is the fact that other gods in the near East were born and died. So, to say that an eternal God sent you is to set you apart from the rest. How this rendering of the divine name plays out is clear in Ps 110:1. The Eternal said to my lord. "The Eternal" is not our lord but stated in contrast to our lord and our lord''s nature. Jesus never said he was eternal as God did. What Jesus said was:
Jesus: 58 I tell you the truth; I AM before Abraham was born.
So, he existed before Abraham. This is not a claim of existing eternally, only of being older than the time Abraham was born. Plain and simple.
To put a finer point on it, some believe one's existence begins when God conceives the thought of you and not when you were born.
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you
There is that word again, "before."
The Bible is silent on these questions. However, Jesus sidesteps any of this confusion by anchoring the time frame of his existence "before Abraham was born" and not when God knew Abraham before God even formed him in the womb. Jesus is not even claiming to exist eternally before Abraham's birth. That's a critical point of reading comprehension.
- How could God know us before we existed?
- If God knew us before we were formed in the womb, could God know Jesus this way also? (And in this way, Jesus preceded Abraham's birth).
- In what way did God know us before we existed/formed in the womb?
- Perhaps our existence pre-dates being formed in the womb?
I submit Jesus does make a great "I am" statement but it is not in reference to Abraham.
Mark 14:61-62High Priest: Are You God’s Anointed, the Liberating King, the Son of the Blessed One?Jesus: 62 I am.
For confessing to being the Messiah, the Christ, God's Anointed One is the reason he was killed, which led to saving all mankind; Jesus great "I am" statement. Jesus was born and died. Both prove he is not eternal and this aligns with the Biblical text. We should stop pretending Jesus is eternal or ever even claimed to be. Better to resist the doctrinally driven eisegesis to interpret Scripture beyond what it actually says.
the war is between two realms with two groups of sons... esau being one group,GINOLJC, to all
101G agrees with you on the birthright issue, for we're heirs. but 101G disagree with you on the WAR with who? 101G's assessment, (could be in ERROR), the war is with and within our own selves. as said 101G could be wrong, but here is why. there are only 1 being, and 2 creatures. God is the only being. angels and human are his creation. angels are not "sons" of God. we're the offspring of God. supportive scripture, Hebrews 1:4 "Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." Hebrews 1:5 "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"
so, angels are not sons of God, ...... at all. we humans are destine to become ...... "LIKE", God, NOT "GOD", but LIKE him, God himself. (NOTE: all spirit come from God. our spirit is GIVE of God, angels are made spirits. our spirit is of him, and when we die naturally our spirit returns back to HIM, GOD. for out spirits are GIVE, and not made. see the difference now? because he has BEGOTTEN us by his "OWN" Spirit. as in the Gospel of GRACE, which was preached by God himself from the beginning. so as Hebrews 1:4 clearly states, "by inheritance", so we have an INHERITANCE in God, not from God but in, in, in him. now, if a son is dead, he cannot inherit anything, only a LIVING son can, as God is LIVING, so only a LIVING son of, of, of, his, can inherit. and this is the DEATH of Sin that rob man of his inheritance...."EVERLASTING LIFE IN ALL THINGS". for all things are ours through inheritance, in Christ Jesus. what we couldn't do God did for us by coming in flesh. and took our sins, so that we might have the "RIGHT" to the tree of LIFE, HIM, God almighty.
we must CHOOSE God who is LIFE, or not, we can choose DEATH. he has set it before us, it's our choice.
obedience is better than ...... Sacrifice/Death. this is why he put an end to temple.... get it Temple Sacrifice. once one overcomes his or her flesh, (which the blood is the Life of), this is what baptism do for us, then the war is OVER ... for that individual, if one believes in Christ Jesus........ DONE DEAL. for in Christ, we have REST and peace with one self and God.
101G.
God is not the only being. That is a greek error passed along en passant.there are only 1 being, and 2 creatures. God is the only being. angels and human are his creation. angels are not "sons" of God. we're the offspring of God.
a man in the context of eden in the other reality is not the sameI see. Just sweep aside the OP and interject your own anti-Scriptural comments.
Scripture explicitly states repeatedly that Jesus was a man. You say that's wrong. Gotcha!
this is nonsense. Esau and Jacob are brothers. there is no beef between them any more. For after twenty years, Jacob returned home and had to passed through his brother territory. but what happen, war? no this. Genesis 33:4 "And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept."the war is between two realms with two groups of sons... esau being one group,
who related to the fall, in the other reality where it happened and not on this earth!,
stole the birthright from jacob.
?Adam who still 'plays god'.
no, 101G cannot relate to that scenario. God hate toward Esau was not personal, meaning toward the person, for God blessed Esau, but in action in what he will do, or did God hated..... case in point. Psalms 101:7 "He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight." . is not the devil, Satan, a liar? was he not a liar from the beginning? so why was Satan conversing with God in the BOOK of Job? as Psalms 101:7b states, "he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight." understand, the devil/Satan is EVIL, but not "SIN". but the evil can cause one to sin, if listen to... see it now? understand the Devil cannot make you sin, only you can.the other group is jacob.
we know there is enmity between them...and that God said Esau I hated...
and of course there is a valid reason to hate esau,
for he leads jacob astray with his corrupt scroll = kjv, septuagint etc.
where do, God, his sons come from? ..... thank you. a son of, of, of, God is not God, but of God. see your ERROR now?God is not the only being. That is a greek error passed along en passant.
All his sons will be restored to their deity. That said, there is no other before God, of course.
All the sons have His nature, being actual sons. Not creatures.
