Theologically, you are. So what good does it do you to be "not with" them in
some other sense? None that I can see.

No, that is not what it means.

Yes, it is. That is WHY it is so important to translate John 1:1 correctly, as:

In the beginning was the Word [indicating co-eternity]
And the Word was with God [indicating distinction]
And the Word WAS God [indicating idenity]

But you are equivocating on the sense of 'made'. For clearly 'made' in Acts 2:36
does NOT refer to the Word, but to the _man_ Jesus Christ. But as man, He really
does have an origin, and as _man_ He really was _made_ "Lord and Christ". But He
was, by His divine nature, Lord already from all eternity. THAT is the
implication of the correct translation of John 1:1

Hi guys. I first sent this before I had finished replying. I hit a
