To All,

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

The heart of John 1 is God’s word made true in the man of flesh Jesus of Nazareth when the Spirit came and descended upon him like a dove.

JOHN 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said…[Read more]

Desire truth…….Welcome to my and Jodi’s world,  These people haven’t a clue what scriptures actually say, they rely on the lies of modern “christanity” inturpitations and conform to the Prophesy of Paul, in “2ths2”,    they have turned the “man” Jesus into their God .  Just as Pual said they would,  they have turned the “image” of him into a…[Read more]

@ Berean,

You said, “I do not rely on these verses for the origins of Jesus…” Even though it states in virtually every translation Christ was “foreknown”, “foreordained”, or “before known”. By rejecting the content of these verses and the meaning of foreknown, it would mean those in Rom 8:26 all existed in heaven before beginning this li…[Read more]

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional
WYATT THE KID WHO BECAME A SATANIST, PART 1
It could be argued the deck was stacked against Wyatt virtually from the day he was born: two parents who’d soon split up, no discipline at either of the subsequent homes, practically no spiritual foundation.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature, God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a…[Read more]

@ DesireTruth

So you are explicitly disregarding the verse in I Peter because it doesn’t agree with your theology?

Me

No  why???

The Father predestined his Son when he was not yet BEGOTTEN in HEAVEN. What I also believe is that the Son OFFERED HIMSELF as a sacrifice for sin.
The Father did not force His Son’s agency. It is a freewill of…[Read more]

@ Berean,

So you are explicitly disregarding the verse in I Peter because it doesn’t agree with your theology? Perplexed how one can ignore what “foreknown/foreordain” means, especially when it comes from a disciple that Christ walked, talked, and taught for 3.5 years? You say the Jewish understanding is a must, but I’m starting to think it real…[Read more]

The Story Of COVID’s Creation

Jodi

Your breaking of biblical “missiles” have no effect on the truth expressed in John 1.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 
👉and the WORD was GOD……….AND THE WORD WAS…[Read more]

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

John 16: 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are…[Read more]

The “goings forth” means origins and some translations render it this way. You say this is a forward looking backward, when it is actually pointing to the future.

Hi Berean,

There is ONLY ONE sending of God’ Son into the world. I already gave you in my first post how it is that Jesus is God’s Son, he was born of the Spirit. Furthermore, as he was the only mortal man to have been born of the Spirit without measure, called to righteousness, by such he was God’s only begotten Son.

My position is that in all…[Read more]

@ Berean,

Our understanding of Micah 5:2 is quite different. This passage for you is evidence to the “preexistence” of Christ. What it actually speaks of is a ruler who’s origins were foreknown from the beginning.

The Aramaic translation puts this verse in another perspective:

And you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you are little among the thous…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Thanks for posting on this topic!

I will respond directly to your post incorporating the scriptures you cited, but I would like to see you respond specifically to those I sighted in my first post and see you counter the position I gave that was based from them. That would be much appreciated!

Gene

What does that have to do with what I was telling you before?

Berean…….Jesus said (not me)…..“this is eternal life, that they might know “YOU”,  the “ONLY” “TRUE” GOD, and Jesus Christ who you have sent”. 

And again scriptures says (not me) …….“but unto us there is but “ONE” God, and one “MEDIATOR”,  between God and men, the “MAN” Jesus Christ”. 

And again scripture says (not me) …..“GOD IS NOT…[Read more]
