    Hi DesireTruth

    You

    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 1:1 and Jesus being the “word” and therefore God. How exactly does this work? I think we have a problem…

    @ Carmel,
    For curiosity sake, what do you do for a living (if retired, what did you do prior) and what faith do you most identify with?

    Not to sound like I am prying or to seem I am demanding of you information that I wouldn’t give. For a living I am self employed running a home repair business, along with a side gig making custom wood pieces. I…[Read more]

    I don’t see the problem Desiretruth. Logically speaking, if we set aside scripture for a moment, someone would have to be the first to be with God. Further, that someone would have to be very special. Perhaps more special than anyone else except for God himself. This fits perfectly with The Book of John.

    @ Gene,
    Thank you for your kind words, I am just someone searching for truth in a world filled with lies. No idea how what I share will be received, time will tell. 🙂

    @ 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]

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

    @ 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]

    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!?

    @ 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]

    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.
