I wonder why you would assume this skeptic who thinks humankind
doesn't need salvation to escape the wrath of God/YHWH and denies that
Christ was God incarnate as the only Saviour is "a learned
individual" - "learned" about what? He certainly is not "learned"
about the Scriptures or the nature of man. Is he learned because he
can type a few Hebrew words? Lol!
Some people just cannot fathom that God/YHWH and the Lamb/the Messiah
share one throne, ONE FACE, AND ONE NAME:
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and
of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads.
By the way, the version of the Scriptures "Snow" prefers (The
Scriptures 1998) says the same thing in Rev. 22:3-4, but he is
confused because they chose to capitalize 'his' and him', yet The
Scriptures 1998 call the Messiah "Elohim" elsewhere (John 20:28) and
also capitalize pronouns referring to the Messiah (John 20:27-29):
[The Scriptures 1998]
Rev 22:3 And no longer shall there be any curse, and the throne of
Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve
Him.
Rev 22:4 And they shall see His face, and His Name shall be upon
their foreheads.
[The Scriptures 1998]
Joh 20:27 Then He said to T’oma, “Bring your finger here, and see My
hands. And bring your hand and put it into My side – and do not be
unbelieving, but believing.”
Joh 20:28 And T’oma answered and said to Him, “My Master and my
Elohim!”1 Footnote: 1See Heb. 1:8-9.
Joh 20:29 יהושע said to him, “T’oma, because you have seen Me, you
have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Snowjob is like all skeptics; he 'has a problem with the authors' of
the Bible; he thinks Christ is a "fictional character created by the
Roman Catholic Church"; he is blind and doesn't 'believe' in Hell and
that there will be a day of God's Judgment of all humankind.
Hab. 2:5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud
man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is
as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations,
and heapeth unto him all people:
God as the Saviour was long ago prophesied:
Zec 2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I
will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
Zec 2:11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day,
and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and
thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
Isa 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall
know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Isa 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good
tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy
God reigneth!
Isa 52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice
together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD
shall bring again Zion.
Isa 52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of
Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed
Jerusalem.
Isa 52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the
nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our
God.
