Janey,
: I have Staford's book and he does a pretty thorough job refuting the "Yahweh" position. He also quotes scholars who agree with him and who also make very convincing points which Stafford quotes. Have you read his discussion Jan?
No, I have not, and I don't have to, because I know enough facts about this question to know he is dead wrong. When you don't know the facts, even a NWT appendix may seem impressive.
Stafford wouldn't know what a scholar is if one hit him in the head with an encyclopedia.
: Jan, I think that is Stafford's point! Jesus is theos in a different sense than God, so for White and others to claim what they do is circular. THEY are the ones who say there is only one sense.
No, it's not circular. Check out a bit more about logic. Neither is the argument robust in any sense, but it isn't circular, since it doesn't refer back to itself.
