Proclaimer,  there exists no such thing as a “free Will” All wills are controlled by what is “influencing them”  the most.  Nothing free about it.

The word , “free will” is an OXYMORON,  because no such thing exists, as I have told you many times.  We are being “CREATED UNTO GOOD WORKS”.  It has nothing to do with a so-called “free Will”,  [Read more]

Hi,

Perhaps deliberately God has revealed truths in a confusing fashion so we have to look beyond the obvious to find it.

But the focus of God in the Scriptures is on the real history – His work through the Spirit.

Man glories in the efforts of human vessels and they are relevant too, but as scripture states ;

FLESH CONTRIBUTES NOTHING.

We are less than ants in the whole picture.

The word was with God and was God speaks of spiritual things

The Word was made…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

A normal human being but an exceptionally pious one who never sinned.

Guided by the law and the prophets with the help of freely available grace and the discipline of his Father he was prepared for the Jordan.

heb 12

The divine origin of the Son of God, begotten of God in the days of eternity, IS ONE THING, and the manifestation of God the Father BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN his incarnate Son IS ANOTHER.

Hi Desiretruth,

You: I discovered is nothing short of amazing; God loves me because HE created me and I don’t need a middleman to go to HIM. 

Me: With every respect to you, YOU DON’T KNOW WHY IT MUST BE NOT ONLY VITAL BOTH FOR GOD AND HIS CREATURES THAT A MIDDLE MAN IS REQUIRED ONCE GOD OPTED TO CREATE, OR MORE APPROPRIATE:

FOR GOD, WHO IS LO…[Read more]

Of course God was in the Messiah reconciling the world to Himself.

Thomas figured it out.

” My Lord

and

My God”

THANK YOU CARMEL FOR THE LINK
THIS LITTLE STUDY IS SOMETHING VERY PRECIOUS.

Naah Berean,

He was the same nature as you and I, an ordinary man, till God anointed him with the Holy Spirit, transforming his nature and empowering him for service.

You are the Christ, the son of the living God.

This statement was confirmed by Jesus to be from the Holy Spirit.

But folks prefer their own carnal understandings and want to make the Son his God,

Hi Desiretruth,

You: Please explain John 18:31 where the religious leaders say it wasn’t lawful for them to put anyone to death under Roman law. The leaders were going to stone Jesus in one place and

in another they remember they can’t?!?! Something doesn’t make sense.

Me :It is irrelevant!

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:15-16

@desire Truth

Am I not understanding something here?!?!? 

Me

What You don’t understand IS that the Son of GOD Who ,in the biginning ,was with God, WAS of the same nature as GOD his Father.

This IS why John wrote : AND THE WORD WAS GOD….

Gene,

You: “Jesus simply was showing us how to stay focused on God, exactly as he did.”

Me: Unfortunately this isn’t what Christianity is about and is why the old side differs from the new side.

Me……l realized that,  a long time ago, and I could care less what “Christianity” thinks.  The truth is found in the summation of scriptures ,  but to s…[Read more]

@Gene,

You: “how was “Israel” “EVER”. a suffering servant of God,”

Me: I have explained this to you a few times and posted links back to where I explained it. I have asked you who is speaking where in Is 52:13-53:12 and have offered my understanding of it. Yet, you keep going back to making Israel claiming to be the “suffering” servant and tha…[Read more]

@Berean,

I said, “So we’re back to Jesus being God…false teaching!!”

You respond, “Me: No, Jesus in the beginning was with (the God) AND was God.”

Am I not understanding something here?!?!?

Desire Truth……. I have ask you over and over, to explain “how was “Israel” “EVER”.  a suffering servant of God,  if you are claiming that, then it is incumbent  upon you to show us in what way they were suffering servants. I HAVE FOUND IT NO WHERE IN OUR SCRIPTURES.  You have never explained that to us,  so your “new” belief is just an “assumpt…[Read more]

@Carmel,

You: “DT, Why did they take up stones to stone him?”

Me: Please explain John 18:31 where the religious leaders say it wasn’t lawful for them to put anyone to death under Roman law. The leaders were going to stone Jesus in one place and in another they remember they can’t?!?! Something doesn’t make sense.

Then you quote the exchange…[Read more]

Nick you said………>Forgiveness of sins is offered by baptism in the name of the Lord.

Scripture does warn about dying in your sins.

Washing of the feet symbolises the need to constantly seek God’s forgiveness after baptism.

“He who has bathed needs only to was his feet, but is completely clean, and you are clean , b…[Read more]
