podo:
I am curious as to why peacedog finds it impossible to explain why Jesus himself continues to refer to His God and Father even after his resurrection.
I assume from this that you are of the opinion that Jesus ceased being "the Son" after his resurrection. Otherwise, the question does not make sense...
On the other hand, I am of the opinion that Jesus continued being "the Son" after his resurrection. This being the case, his reason for referring to "his God and Father even after his resurrection" is self-evident.
Perhaps the problem here is not my ability to explain, but yours to comprehend...
Once again I point out that nothing in your question bears on the *nature* of the Son. We know from Heb 1:5 and 1:13 that he is not an angel. What's left? What is his nature?
eggnog:
me: Please explain how the word "ever" fits with (and supports) your interpretation of these verses.
eggnog: No, and I believe we're done
I'm not at all surprised that you refuse to discuss the meaning of "ever" or "at any time" (KJV) in these verses; to do so would ultimately reveal that you are well aware that these verses preclude any possibility of Jesus being an angel. It would also show up your ignorance (read: deceit) in claiming that the wording in the KJV and NWT implies something different than the CEV and NLT.
5For 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?
13But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Do you think others don't see through the charade? Your ignorance/deceit has already been noted by those reading this thread: "c'mon djeggnog in your heart you know Jesus isn't an angel".
I've been at this game long enough to know that jws who frequent so-called "apostate" web sites (in defiance of the WTS) such as yourself have been exposed to the real truth often enough that if they actually cared about TRUTH, they would have embraced it by now.
You are one of that small group of individuals who (for reasons unknown to me) looks truth straight in the eye, and chooses the lie. My goal in debating persons such as yourself is not to convert you. How could I possibly? You've already seen the truth; you simply don't want it. My goal, eggnog, is to expose you. To expose your faulty reasonings and your illogical arguments and your preference for flip-flopping man-made doctrines over simple statements of scripture. I do this for the sake of others who, unlike you, are truth-seekers.
Peace,
