It was not speaking of "blood", in the general sense, but animal
blood, especially from things strangled, etc.
>That is not an OT Mosaic Law. That is a Christian law. How Jehovah

It was a Jewish law, just because you don't know the law doesn't give
you permission to deny the law. Mankind cannot create a "christian
law" and stick it on the bible.
If you weren't such a city boy you would know what happens to the
blood in animals that were strangled and not killed properly, that
butchers do not kill highly stressed animals because of what is does
to the animals meat.
YHWH is the God of the Jews, Jehovah.

I don't care about how many of you die, due to your actions, it is in
the papers often enough, and a lot of it also happens "under the
table" as the families just keep their stuff private and away from
Doc's nurses and such.

You have admitted such stuff yourself, in the past, and your reasons
for it. So you would be a hypocrite for suggesting others lie because
they don't itemize it for you. However, if you will put up 10,000.00
dollars for such a list I will be more than happy to make a list for
you that you or anyone can verify. And if you wish a nail in the
coffin type of list it will be 100,000.00 dollars.

Well, lol, Adam was created. The first animals, birds, fish, trees,
plants, etc., were all created. God the ordered that everything
reproduce after its own kind. IOW's God set up the natural order of
things and put it all into motion.
Now as in regards to Jesus this still all holds true. Jesus was
reproduced after his own kind as well. His Father was God the Father.
His mother Mary, and she conceived and had a son, who Joseph named.
So all the dung you tried to force feed us is best used to fertilize
plants.
Now as to Jesus being the first born of many brethren. Believers in
Jesus Christ who accept who he is, and believe on him, they are all
Born Again, the new birth by God the Father of all believers. As such
I am a brother of Christ Jesus, as are all other born again believers
by faith in Him.
As such I am a partaker in the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

What is a creed other than a declaration of a man stating his belief.
It has no weight on me, who I am in Christ Jesus or His church.

Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said,
Ye are gods?
Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and
the scripture cannot be broken;
Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent
into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of
God?
Joh 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works:
that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
You say you follow Jesus, but you deny this Jesus of the Bible.
So who is the Jesus you follow? Jesus Gonzales?

Yes. just like you and I, except you do not admit that I am mentally
superior to you, and you think for some reason that you might be?
Your argument is invalid, because you do not know the things I do,
does not render you stupid, or of inferior mind. 2 separate people.

Do you chose ignorance over truth. Yes. You interrupt my comments
where I used scripture to support what happened and even gave you the
reason why. I never denied that God raised Jesus, try re-reading what
was said here and see the truth of the matter.

DUH. Jesus as God, could not be killed. Just like you cannot kill God
the Father, nor can Satan who has tried to unseat God the Father and
failed. Jesus gave up all that he was in power in order to be as one
with us, gave up all his riches to be poor so that we can be made
rich, etc. Something you will never be able to see or understand as an
unspiritual man.

Journal? Why not a diary?
God himself inspired the word so it is all of God, not the journal of
men. Else all religion is for naught.

What a twist on truth. Jesus had the right to PICK UP his own life
again with no one else's help.
He likewise was given the right to die, lay down his life. Jesus told
the judge no one could take his life unless it came from God.
Your twisting and dancing does not change what I quoted from
scripture. Nor does your usage of many translations in order to try
and confuse some people.

But when I use it, it is all in the same vein of truth, not a mixture
of lies and truths.
You started out this section with a lie.
The rest you render pretty much invalid with your reasoning.
According to you, All "God's" are equal, therefore you invalidate your
disagreement with a "Trinity" confusion rules the day for you.
