But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Jn 14.26

@ Nick

So whenever scripture identifies Jesus as a man, like Acts 2 and 17 etc these verses need to be scrubbed out of your Bible and replaced by “God?”

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation,👉 and took upon him 👈the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men…[Read more]

I gave you the Bible texts and what do you do with them?

You dodge, always the same….and you call that being anointed with the Spirit.

Hi Jodi,

He who believes in me, as the scripture says, from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water. But this he spoke of the Spirit whom hose who believed in him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jn 7.36f

The Spirit in Jesus, given at the Jordan, was designed to fill all of…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Yashua was declared to be the Son of God at the Jordan. Because of his  perfect faithfulness to the demands of the OT Law he was found to be clean and not requiring the baptism of repentance of John, though he obeyed the requirement to fulfil all righteousness.
Having been anointed there with the Holy Spirit he began his walk in the…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU: “the bible says he was tempted in every way as we are without sinning.”

ME: I’d like to talk something out here with first highlighting some scriptures.

Ephesians 5:9 For the fruit of the Spirit is in ALL goodness and righteousness and truth.

Luke  3: 21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself”2 Cor 5.18

needs to be changed to “ God was in God”?

Hi Berean,

So whenever scripture identifies Jesus as a man, like Acts 2 and 17 etc these verses need to be scrubbed out of your Bible and replaced by “God?”

Hi Berean,

So all of scripture is wrong and you are right.

but

“ the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God”

The many sons of God do not have the same nature as God and are not God.

@Nick

“I maintain that Jesus was God”

Yes In the biginning “the Word” (the Son OF GOD )was God)

Because my father and my mother were human beings, I am a human being, likewise because Jesus is the literal BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, HE IS OF THE SAME NATURE AS THE FATHER: GOD( divine nature)
VERY SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND.

…..

AND the Word was mad…[Read more]

Jesus was made clean by perfect obedience to the Law.

He proved the Law was righteous and fulfilled it perfectly.

He was already clean in the sight of God when he reached the Jordan

He opened the door to the Kingdom for all by his death and resurrection.

He tightened the requirements of obedience to the Law

The door to salvation through…[Read more]

Jesus summarised the Law when speaking to the rich young ruler in Lk 18

” You know the commandments,

’DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY

DO NOT MURDER

DO NOT STEAL

DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.”

the proud breast beating about sabbath keeping?

Hi Berean,

You said

“I maintain that Jesus was God”

How do you align this with what you have quoted from Holy Scripture

”There is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ”?

Is Jesus not the SON OF God?

He said he was. Your deductions do not line up with the teachings of Jesus.

And I maintain that Jesus was God and man and that HE lived as a man without taking advantage of his divinity for himself.
This is what you don’t understand.

If Jesus had been only a man he would have been like all men with the need of a SAVIOR FOR ALL MEN HAVE SINS, ALL ARE DEPRIVED FROM THE GLORY OF GOD, THERE IS NOT ONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT ONE A…[Read more]

Jodi and Nick……Amen to you both.

peace and love to you and yours………..gene

It seems to be a carryover from the trinity idea that Jesus was God

to see him as big, strong and with huge advantages over us common men.

It goes against the reality that all can follow him into his relationship with his God by being reborn into his body.

Nobody here said that Jesus had advantages over us….
These are false…[Read more]

Hi to all

EILEEN SHELTERED BY GOD

Eileen was in a desperate situation. As a 27-year-old mother of four children, she had suffered physical abuse from her husband for 12 years. After being placed in a battered women’s shelter, her husband tracked her down. So she ran with her children out into a snowstorm to e…[Read more]

Hi,

It seems to be a carryover from the trinity idea that Jesus was God

to see him as big, strong and with huge advantages over us common men.

It goes against the reality that all can follow him into his relationship with his God by being reborn into his body.

Therefore, since we have a great High Priesr, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of…[Read more]
