DesireTruth…….They have “TOTALLY” corrupted,  the word of GOD, far worse now than at the beginning.  When Paul prophesied about the “apostate churches” in 2ths2 , what they would do and have done. Turning THE  “IMAGE” OF THE MAN JESUS INTO A GOD AND WORSHIPING HIM AS SUCH. Thanks be to GOD FOR SPARING A FEW, like You and Jodi.

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional
FORGIVENESS AND PARDONS
An item in the May 2, 1985, Kansas City Times describes the attempt by some fans of O. Henry, the short-story writer, to get a pardon for their hero, who was accused in 1898 of embezzling $784.08 from the bank where he was employed. The question was raised, “Can you give a pardon to a…[Read more]

@ Danny,

Because I reject Isa 9:6 and Isa 53 as referring to Jesus you make the jump that I don’t believe Jesus is the Messiah?!?!

Since I can’t get Berean to answer my question of what the verses before and after are talking about in Isa 9:6-7, can you tell me without looking them up? My guess is no; but I bet you can recite those two ver…[Read more]

Jesus was born the savior, king, lord, and messiah
Yes, Jesus was a man. He came in the flesh. He existed in the form of God and emptied himself and was born in Bethlehem. He was born the messiah and king of the jews.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked,…[Read more]

Further, here is the moon emitting light in part from the sun and in the other part from the earth (earthshine). Notice the difference in light being reflected? Why, because the sun emits light and earth reflects it in part which then can be reflected again on the moon. This might be too complex for you to comprehend however.

If you directed a powerful spotlight on a rock that was in pitch black darkness, it would light up. After all, what do you think a falling star is? When they hit the ground intact, they are rocks. So that is one example of a rock reflecting light. Think please.

Hi Jodi,

You: why would it need to be even stated that he was in the form of God if he himself was God?

Me: Jodi, YOU HAVE A SOUL, INVISIBLE!

WHAT IS YOUR BODY?
ISN’T YOUR BODY THE FORM OF YOUR SOUL, SINCE YOUR SOUL IS INVISIBLE?
GOD ALSO IS INVISIBLE AND JESUS, THE SON OF MAN, BEFORE THE WORLD WAS,
WAS PHYSICALLY  THE ONLY FORM/SHAPE OF…[Read more]

@ Jodi

Another speech to try to cancel the fact that Jesus IN THE BEGINNING, BEFORE THE WORLD WAS, WAS WITH GOD AND HE WAS GOD.

….
AND THAT ALL THINGS WERE MADE THROUGH HIM…

Jodi, do you believe there is a place where God and Christ and others dwell called HEAVEN?

Our Father which
art👉 in heaven, Hallowed be your name.

Thy kingdom come.…[Read more]

Hi All,

Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Side note: The devil recognizes Jesus as God’s Son because of the powers of God’s Spirit that Jesus was begotten with…[Read more]

@proclaimer

Hi All,

The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven mean the same thing.

“Given from heaven” and given from God mean the same thing.

Likewise, heavenly is the same thing as godly and “come from God” is the same thing as “came down from heaven”.

John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to…[Read more]

God bless you, Berean.

@ Danny Dabbs

Thank you DD for your participation and encouragement.

God bless

@ desire Truth

Do you even believe that Jesus is the Messiah?
Because I noticed that you reject Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 53 as Messianic prophecies.
Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 53 is clearly Messianic!
Berean gave you good explanations.
There are more. Just do a research 👉 Messianic Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus Christ!

@ Jodi

You are not making any sense.

You say that the text is speaking of a pre-existing God (the son), so why would it need to be even stated that he was in the form of God if he himself was God?

Me

I have no speech other than WHAT IS WRITTEN.

YES THE SON OF GOD LIVED IN THE FORM OF GOD, HE HAD THE DIVINE NATURE INHERITED FROM HIS FATHER IN…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

We didn’t finish our conversation regarding Phil 2.

YOU:

1. A) Who, being in the form of God,
2. B) thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

THE SON OF GOD, WHO WAS GOD AND WHO WAS IN THE FORM OF GOD, CONSIDERED THAT IT WOULD BE “TO ROB GOD” TO BE, (RETAIN) THE EQUAL OF GOD…

But made himself of no reputation,

HE HAD A REPUT…[Read more]

@ desire Truth

That’s what you do too…
bias on both sides, and that’s normal…
But the truth with love will win.

To bé continued…

🙏

@ Berean,

This is insanity! When are you going to stop defending or justifying your religion? What is happening in the verses before and after that put verses 6-7 into context of what has been written. Don’t need an academic response from a commentary, just your thoughts.

About your copy and paste…

There has been one United States president who, when he died, was no longer a citizen of the United States. It was the country’s tenth president— John Tyler. John Tyler served in office from 1841 to 1845. But more than being an American, Tyler was a Virginian. And so when Vir…[Read more]

Hezekiah or Jesus:
Who is the Child of Isaiah 9:6-7
by Grace Song

Viewpoint One
There are some Christian Old Testament scholars who treat the prophecy in Isaiah 9 as referring to the birth of Hezekiah. There are several issues to be considered in interpretation of the passage.

1) With respect to the child: The iss…[Read more]
