@ Berean,

Since Jesus was with God at the foundation of the world and is the one God is speaking with, that would mean there were two separate beings of the “godhead” in heaven at creation. Having two beings does not support the monotheistic faith the Jews have? Deut 6:4, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord”. However, jumping to John…[Read more]

Hi, Desire Truth,

You: No one gave a concise answer to why John didn’t just say “Jesus” in the opening of the book, why use “word”.

Me: First and foremost, John’s Gospel is entirely spiritual, and one must be spiritually minded in order to understand it, never mind accepting it. Now in view of this, Jesus is a proper name, while the name “wor…[Read more]

Nope. That is just cloud or mist making it disappear. On a cloudless day, the sun clearly sinks below the horizon. I know because I can watch this anytime I want as I live near the coast. Here is one of my photos.

If you really believe the sun just fades away every evening, then how come people who are under the sun at that moment do…[Read more]

Hi DesireTruth,

Since man was not created both in the image and likeness of God and angels, the fact remains that the biblical text remains as the foundation.
And the only possibility that remains to be put forward is that it is the Son of God.
John1 and 17 are there among other things to confirm this great truth 👉 He was with God in the…[Read more]

Hi to all

Here is  an article gleaned from Facebook
May God bless its author and you too readers. Amen!
An Attempt to Cover Up History.
Those who understand how the Papal Church came to rule for 1260 years known as the dark ages also know they had to uproot three opposing kingdoms. But were you aware that these were Arian tribes? We know…

I have looked into this.
The other point is that the sun just fades away.

Here’s the proof https://www.facebook.com/TheFlatEarthPodcast/videos/the-sun-never-sets-it-just-fades-away/626940824400586/

@ Berean,

That’s a good question! Was man made in the image of God and the angels? Verse 27 would suggest no, as man was made specifically in God’s own image (and likeness) and not the angles. The point of the comment was to show God does interact with the heavenly body and the “us” and “our” (with a Hebraic understanding) was believed to be the…[Read more]

Carmel…….You remind me of a tennis ball being bounced off  walls of deception,  saying I was not “quoting” the scriptures correctly is a lie,  and you well know that. I am quoting them “exactly as they are written”,  in the king James bible.   

Because those scriptures go against you and your false teachings, is your problem not mine,  as I…[Read more]

Desire Truth……..Your like a breath of fresh air to me and I believe Jodi also,   I see the “Spirit of truth in you” , I reconize it by the soundness of your words.  My hope is you will bring more “truth” to this site, and that we may all grow to a Better understanding of our scriptures.

“may the LORD, bless you and keep you, may the LORD…[Read more]

Hi DesireTruth

About Genesis1:26

Believing that God was speaking to angels, you then suggest that God, who said, “Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness:
made man IN THE IMAGE OF GOD AND ALSO OF THE ANGELS….???

Do you believe that then!?

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional

 
PRISCILLA NO CABLE? NO PROBLEM!
Most people would be quite frustrated if their cable was disconnected, but Priscilla saw God’s hand working in her life. When she couldn’t afford to pay her cable bill, she hooked her computer up to her television and began watching programs through the Internet. Soon she…[Read more]

@ Berean,

Let’s look a little deeper in to John 17:5

“Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.” Does this mean Jesus was with God before creation or is Jesus stating God foreknew the outcome even before creation and was part of this greater “plan” for mankind? I’m thinking th…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

Your bring back the sun argument will be solved in this video.
Start from 28:15 till 30:23.

Not even close @dannyd

The explanation contradicts itself. It says you can bring back boats, so even you can figure out that if you can do that, then you can bring back the sun.

But you can’t…[Read more]

GOD AND WHAT HE SAYS ARE NOT QUITE THE SAME THING.

BRING BIBLICAL EVIDENCE MR GENE, AND WE WILL SEE AFTER.

🙏

Gene
If “the word” are only spoken wordswhy then John said:
AND THE WORD WAS GOD
GENE ONLY A PERSON CAN BE GOD, NOT SPOKEN WORDS EVEN IF THEY COME FROM GOD.
When God speaks, only GOD IS GOD NOT HIS WORDS.
Berean God and his words are one and the same person, just as you and your word are you.  No one can be another person’s words, common sens…[Read more]

Hi LU,

Continuing on,

In verse 5,  Paul is leading up to giving us the attitude/mind of the anointed Jesus and saying to those he is speaking to that they need to be of that same attitude/mind that the anointed Jesus had.

Is Paul asking for these men to be of the same attitude of a pre-existing Jesus who existed in the form of God or is Paul…[Read more]

Good Morning LU,

Sorry I missed seeing your post and question earlier and thank you for kind words. I am hanging in there! Hope you are doing well.

YOU:

I would like to know your understanding of what the One who existed in the form of God emptied himself of as spoken of in Philippians 2:

5Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in…[Read more]

Posting this to remind myself to watch it later.

Don’t know if it will be any good, but it is about the Word of God.

The guys speaking did a good job on another subject, so will see what his view is on this subject.

Hi DesireTruth

Welcome to the forum

In John 1:1 it is written that “THE WORD” was God.

As I said to Gene recently words spoken BY GOD cannot be God, ONLY A PERSON CAN BE GOD.

HERE IN JOHN 1:1 IT CAN ONLY REFER TO THE SON OF GOD WHO WAS WITH GOD IN THE BIGINNING.

IN JOHN 17:5 WE HAVE A CONFIRMATION THAT HE WAS WITH GOD BEFORE THE FOUNDING…[Read more]
