Berean ……. you say “Jesus “took on “,  but is that what scripture says, ( not me?)……Heb2:9 ….but we see Jesus , “WHO WAS MADE”,  a little lower then the Angels, for the suffering of death”…..

We are also “MADE”,   a “little” lower then the angels, and we also suffer death.  And we must also put our  “wills” to death, just like he did.…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

You said, “AND HE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHEN HE RETURNS AND IN BETWEEN”

The Son of Man returns in the glory of our Father, he returns where he has God’s Spirit upon him whereby he makes righteous judgments, judgments not by his own eyes and ears but through God directing all his ways.

This Son of Man returns to give true believers…[Read more]

Hi to all

Here is the daily devotional

The little boy sat in the pew, his feet dangling off the floor. His tousled little head could barely see the priest on the platform in front of him. He stared curiously and shifted toward his mother. He wanted to know so many things about what the priest was doing and saying, and the questions tumbled…[Read more]

Chapter Seventeen
Kindly Light or Searing Flame?

“Lead Kindly Light amid the encircling gloom,
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark and I am far from home;
Lead thou me on. ”
Countless numbers of Christians have sung these stirring words penned by Church of England
clergyman Dr John H. Newman. No doubt many have drawn from them strength…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

You: God’s seed represents God’s Spirit.

Me: GOD’S SEED IS A SPIRIT! and THAT SPIRIT IS

“THE WORD” made Flesh, Jesus, the Son of Man.

God is a spirit, and all His attributes and tasks generally speaking are all

spirits!

Once God committed Himself to create, He created all that for us is the entire physical creation BY/IN/FOR in His…[Read more]

I’m betting the rebuttal to my post will be just to interpret each scripture I have quoted as meaning the opposite to what is written. It won’t be that blatant, but surrounded by lots of text where the detail is easily hidden.

Adam was called the Son of God.

But Adam was created by God.

Jesus was begotten by God, emptied himself, came in the flesh, died, rose again, and is seated next to God in the glory he had with him before the cosmos.

He is also the final Adam. So he too can rightly be called the Son of God in that sense. But because he is the firstborn of all…[Read more]

You reject the trinity doctrine; yet, hold onto the “preexistence” of Christ, why?

They are not mutually exclusive. This comes from Greek thinking where anything can either be creator or creation. But scripture teaches us that there is this thing called ‘begotten’ which is neither.

In fact, one of the reasons why the Trinity Doctrine is bel…[Read more]

I am not rejecting the aforementioned scriptures, I’m questioning our understanding of them. Do we understand them in the context and perspective of which they have been written or are we understanding them with our modernistic minds of what other people have told us these scriptures mean?

Sure and I already know that. But I believe some are r…[Read more]

If YHVH is God of gods and Lord of lords, and there is one God and one Lord and they happen to be two persons, then the YHVH who is God, is one person WITH the YHVH who is Lord, another person.

Your trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist in scripture. Therefore, your theory is just as wrong because it proposes to be the fix.

Agreed that wisdom is an attribute of God just as light, truth, and love are too.

However, I think that God creates life and endows them with attributes or different measures and mixes of it, which makes us unique. We know that truth is of God, but Jesus said that he was The Truth. We know that life comes from God, but Jesus said he was The Life.…[Read more]

Heb. 2: 14; 3: 3). 

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour t…[Read more]

 
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (John 17)
 

The veiled glory of Christ. 

If Christ had come in divine form, mankind could not have endured the
seen. The contrast would have been too painful, the glory too overwhelming. humanity
could not bear the presence of…[Read more]

Hi Jodi and all

John3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The manifestation of the Father.
What language is to thought, Christ is to the invisible Father. He is the manifestation
of the Father, and it is…[Read more]

As I am playing catch up and reading through the earlier comments, PLEASE read from the beginning of Proverbs 8 and continuing into chapter 9. Solomon is speaking of wisdom and wisdom alone. Wisdom is referred to as a “she”…think about it. Wisdom is what Solomon prayed for and God blessed him with it and everything earthly that comes with it.…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU: the Blood of Christ is the means by which we are cleansed/justified, sanctified, and ultimately glorified and this has been possible because Jesus is THE CREATIVE AND REDEMPTIVE WORD OF GOD FROM THE BEGINNING.

ME: I see that Gene has already spoke to this as well.

The blood of Christ is the means by which we are…[Read more]

Good Morning Berean,

Let’s start with this,

You provided, Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.”

This is direct prophecy

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow…[Read more]

Gène 

You don’t understand what I wrote.
As a man, Jesus was completely dependent on His Father for all things and even for the use of his own divine power which he retained (he was still God) with which he performed his miracles.
His greatest temptation was surely to resist using his own Divinity to come to his rescue.
THIS CAN BE SEEN WHEN HE W…[Read more]
