Why then did the Jews pick up stones to stone Him?
Stoning was a punishment for blasphemy. In THEIR eyes, Jesus was blaspheming. Jesus wasn't a liar or a lunatic so one possible answer remains. Jesus' claim that He is God Almighty. "I AM". There is no OTHER reason for them to stone Jesus. Otherwise they might have stoned John the baptist for claiming that he was the "voice of one calling in the desert". And they should have stoned Paul for preaching that Jesus was the Messiah.
No, stoning was for a person who committed blasphemy, or at least in the eyes of the Jews. Jesus was perfect; He declared that He was God; if He committed blasphemy then His work on the Cross is worth nothing which means prophecy failed and that means the bible isn't true which means we're ALL in trouble.
and jdubla, go take English 101 again. You obviously miss the point if you have to nit-pick all the time. And if you aren't going to listen to scripture then maybe I have to resort to "absolutely ridiculous and absurd comparison[s]" for your brain to understand. At least you're laughing. it's the best medicine for your condition.
Mark 4:10-12
10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.
11 He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables
12 so that, "`they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'"

At present, the term "Mr. President" refers to George Bush. Let us say for example that JFK was God; this isn't blasphemy, just and example. Anyhow, "Mr. President" is used for both George Bush and JFK, but George Bush is NOT God in this case and would have to be JFK.
I believe the trinity IS essential to the salvation issue if you want God to save you because you can have the right name all you want, but the right "God" isn't necessarily going to be there for you and God justifies man by his heart (Romans 10:9-10).
Interestingly enough, Jesus makes His claim to the tetragrammaton ("YHWH" or "I AM [THAT I AM]"). How does ___Scorpion___ respond to the following?:
John 8:53-59 (NIV)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?"
54 Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.
55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"
58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
(remember only Scorpion's response please)

Scorpion... exactly, but keep in mind that truth is Absolute. And if my message to you was a figment of your imagination, then why did you not ignore it? Which brings me to my next point. God must be real to oneself in order for oneself to believe.
Everyone else,
http://jesus-is-jehovah.com./
... an interesting site. There MAY be a couple of things here that are a BIT shakey, but for the MOST part there are good points made.
I am mainly interested in what scripture has to say, not necessarily the guy that typed it all up.

So let me pose this question.

No. I am one person on this board.
My name is Mark Whitmore, and I presently am residing in Saskatchewan, a province in Canada for those of you who are ignorant. Chris Trottier, a man in my home town in the province of British Columbia is at least ONE of the other two in whom you speak of. You may reach Chris at
(604) 594-5653
If you want to speak to me, then you can mail Briercrest Bible College in Saskatchewan. You can go to www.briercrest.com. I am sure you can get the address there.
You claim I lie. The pharisees claimed that Jesus committed blasphemy. I am NOT God or the Christ, but I am a child of God and I have not lied on this board or to anyone on it. At least not to my knowledge. I am a truth seeker and a truth spreader.
Peace.

Whatever you say Satan...
God is for me, before me, and after me. I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING. You can deceive the elect all you want, if it were possible; and deceive others. Why don't you let OTHERS draw their OWN conclusions instead of making them your pawns to believe the things YOU say. Let you be given over to your wicked ways. May exile soften your heart so that you may turn to Christ for forgiveness. But if you don't, then may you be kept in Exile where you will be parched with thirst.
In Jesus' name.
May God be merciful to you. But may God also see Justice to the measure you deserve.
Peace.

Circumstancial Evidence is INCONCLUSIVE evidence. How do these people know that you are not trying to manipulate them like the WTS does to people. I would appriciate it very much if you showed some love and compassion and stopped slandering my name around here. I am not a liar. You may not like me very much but that does not give you the right to harrass people at your leisure.
1 John 4:20-21
20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
21 And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Peace.

Naeblis,
Peace and Love,
what a stupid thing to say,
>> *"How do we know you're not lying?"
I'll tell you why. If you have to be as insecure as to blurt *THAT out and trust my answer as to WHY I am NOT lying; and at the same time NOT do the RESEARCH yourself, then you might as well take my word for it. As Jesus said, "let your yes be your yes and your no be your no."
Peace of God with you!
