To all……Jesus clearly speaking of himself said……“the Son of man can do “nothing” of himself”.  But most don’t really believe he meant what he said, if they did believe him they would understand it was God the Father doing the works in and through him.

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

Nick……Yes it was God the Father speaking through the mouth of Jesus, who said ,  ““destroy this Temple and in three day I (God) shall raise it up”.  That is the correct way to understand that . I have told theses people that for over ten years here at different times.

There is another place where the same thing happened, when Jesus said……[Read more]

Spare us the long wordy denominational interpretations and just feed us what is written. That is real food.

Hi PC,

We know that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power and he went about doing good and healing, walking on water and raising the dead etc. was this because of the anointing , or do you really think he did all these things in his own strength?

We have the required witnesses to truth. ( 2 Cor 13.1f)

Because He has fixed a day when He will judge the world in righteousness through a MAN who He has chosen, having furnished proof to all men by raising him from the dead.

Acts 17.33

No doubt about it JESUS CHRIST is an anointed man.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the MAN Jesus Christ, who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

1 Tim2.5

Yes a man is the mediator.

Hi PC,

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself”

Was God silent in Christ?

Hebrews1 tells us He spoke through His Son but you disagree?

Thanks for your opinion.
”Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”

Jesus said this, or was it God speaking though him in Jn 2?

The second century “fathers” were already corrupted by Greek philosophy through Origen et al and their words are not inspired by the Holy Spirit as those of the apostles are so we should pay no attention to them.

But it could also be true that you have been corrupted by man’s wisdom or Greek philosophy. After all, Greeks divided the world into unc…[Read more]

Aye.

Bollocks.

”Before Abraham I am” was spoken by the Son in whom God dwelled.

we know that God spoke through the Son as Heb 1 told us.

why should it confuse folks?

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

When Jesus is referring to God he says so.

My Father… Only God is good… My father is greater than I…

When Jesus says: “Before Abr…[Read more]

Hi desiretruth,

Convinced in your own ideas your hope is to draw others into your doubts and isolation.

Sure that the ways of God are like your own is your downfall.

Only God can make you childlike again.

Hi Desiretruth,

No religious affiliation.
Your questions are never to uplift but only to pull down faith because that is where your soul languishes in hopelessness and misery which is a lonely place.

@Nick,

You still don’t understand, I am merely asking questions and offering additional thoughts, albeit contrary to what I have been taught for over 40 years. You still have answered zero questions; which tells me you aren’t as strong in your faith as you think you are. You keep saying “nothing new under the sun”; then my questions should have…[Read more]

The Modern “ church” bears no relationship to that which established by Jesus Christ but is a false one and doomed to collapse and reveal her true nature.

A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying

” Come over to Macedonia and help us”….

So putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace….

and from there to Phillipines..

And on the Sabbath day we went outside the city to a riverside, where we were supposi…[Read more]

Hi Desiretruth,

With Paul we say “ It is no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me.”

We been baptised into his death that we may share in his resurrection. Having been beheaded for the sake of his headship ticking the intellectual boxes to satisfy the minds of men is no longer relevant.

But enjoy your mission even though it will not…[Read more]
