Say you want your child to put on the red jacket. She fights for the green one.Finally you say, "Know what: put the green one on." (reverse psychology). She puts on the red one (Dad wins).
But then, one day, she gets wise to that and still puts on the green one.
You say, "Good. My plan worked."
"No it didn't. You wanted me to wear the red one."
"Did I really?"
"Yeah, that's what you said."
"I know what I said." (Dad smiles)

It's been a while, but I believe that was the gist of it. You get the child to doubt your initial intent so that she's no longer sure what the opposite would be. It gets tough, of course, if you have a precocious lil' imp.
Oh, okay. Yeah, I know what you mean.
It is similar to the salesman idea of getting you to think you need to have something or need to purchase it and then acting innocent of indirectly tricking you into thinking that. "Oh, you want this item? Okay..lemme check on it. BRB with pricing and details. I thought you wanted this, though. lol"
Re: GOD and LORD are they reciprocal? Or 2 sets of people?
Originally posted by alltoomanyI haven't read through all the responses, but Lord was also attributed to authority and respect, not as a god though some later on tried to make it so.
maybe a balance of good and evil, 2 sets of people? On the sixth day God made both female and male, Man. Seventh day God rested. But The Lord was working on the seventh day..ummmm
Search your history books and you will see many references to people as Lord this or Lord that. Look the word Lord up in your concordance and lexicon and see what is also meant by that word.

I don't think Jesus and God are the same being, at all. We know that they are not the same being. We also know that the Trinity concept did not exist until after Jesus. We find no evidence of it until after Divine Jesus was introduced. I am not even sure Jesus was truly divine until after the resurrection...because the new testament is in question and contradictory.
Nice rant 😄
