Hi to all

THE SECOND GREAT COMMANDMENT
In 2010, nearly 200,000 people in 153 countries were asked about their help to others in the previous month. The survey found that around 20% had done volunteer work, almost a third had donated money to charity and around 45% had helped a stranger.
Surprisingly, half of the…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,
You: Still waiting Carmel.
Are you looking for a scripture?
Good luck.
Me: First and foremost,
I ASK THE SAME QUESTION AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME, PROCLAIMER, and still EXPECTING your answer, read, please.
IS YOUR SPIRIT YOU?
IS YOUR SOUL YOU?
IS YOUR FLESH BODY YOU?

LU……..GOD said this in answer to where you ask me where God said there is no GOD BESIDES HIM ?, remember God said this (not me)…..Isa 44:8…..“fear you not , neither be afraid: have I not told you from that time, and have declaired it? You are my witnesses: is there a GOD besides me? Yea there is no God,; I know not any.
And common s…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer
The Son has accepted that everything be given into his hands for the creation of the universe, for the plan of redemption and for judgment.
THE SON IS WORTHY OF ALL THESE TITLES MENTIONED IN ISAIAH
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us, and dominion will rest on his shoulder, and he will be called Wonderful, Counselor,…[Read more]Proclaimer replied to the topic Interdependence of Father and Son in the forum View Points 3 years, 5 months ago
Hi LU.
I cant provide a source for prototype as I wrongly assumed it was rooted in the word for firstborn despite both having the same root ‘proto’.
That said, I stll believe yhat he is the prototype. He is yhe first type, the first Son. Those born from above will be like him. The same type.

Hi Berean. Thee are some pearls in your last post. Yes salvation was planned right at the beginning because it would be inevitiable thst some beings would rebel because if free will and yes free will is a must if you want sons instead of robots.
But I would like to add that the whole reason for creation is because of the Son. God created all…[Read more]

Christmas day is nearly here… and 2023.
Wonder what that will bring….
Hope everyone is well.
God bless 🙂

Hi LU
It all comes down to two main things:
1) the exemplary Father-Son relationship
2) the free choice given to the creatures of God.God needed a Son in HIS IMAGE so that the FATHER-SON relationship would first be an example for those around them who are the angels.
On the other hand, the objective of God being to create beings

Hi to all
Here is the Daily Devotional
ARE PREACHERS TODAY PAID TOO MUCH MONEY ACCORDING TO GODLY STEWARDSHIP?
Yes, without doubt, many preachers are paid far more than they earn. Jesus said that “the laborer is worthy of his wages,” but some preachers are receiving wages without being worthy. They have charisma but no character. You’ve prob…[Read more]

Carmel. Which one of these scriptures if any is your no1 bible verse that proves the Trinity?
carmel replied to the topic The Trinity Doctrine in the forum Truth or Tradition 3 years, 5 months ago
Hi Proclaimer,
You: I was clear about how we discover truth. I gave a few examples. I still believe what I said.
Me: Let’s read again what you said:
You: Scripture, logic, and history all disprove the Trinity.
Me: which for God counts for nothing, only His spirit gives LIFE/existence to His work even PHYSICAL!
You cannot apply much if any…[Read more]

Much of the time, truth is self-evident. When you give a person that level of truth or a clear example of such, you can then tell if they love the truth or prefer to believe they are correct at all cost. I totally lack all respect for people who do the latter.
Lightenup replied to the topic Mikeboll's belief in a flat world in the forum View Points 3 years, 5 months ago
Proclaimer,
I think people would say that they love the truth and truly think they do but are actually very deceived and can not see the truth. They lean on their own limited understanding and their lack of understanding. There is overwhelming evidence for a globe earth yet they believe it is a massive conspiracy which is majorly insulting the…[Read more]

Berean,
You said:
The Father and the Son HAVE WORKED AND WORK TOGETHER.
BUT THAT DOES NOT REMOVE THAT THE FATHER ONLY IS THE ONE TRUE GOD. ALL HONORS GO TO HIM FIRST.The question is in the OP as to whether or not the Father does the God stuff interdependently with the Son or independently of the Son. You admit that they work together. That is in…[Read more]

Gene,
You asked:
please tell us how is a God “begotten”?
He is born of His Father, the invisible God who He is an image of.
Col 1 15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or aut…[Read more]

LU…….please tell us how is a God “begotten”? Please show us by scripture how that is done. Are you talking about Jesus , the one who said, (not me) …..“the son of man can do “nothing” of himself” , is he the God your talking about?
Jesus said, (not me) “this is eternal life, that they might know “YOU” the “ONLY” true God. [Read more]

Hi Gene,
You: GOD IS A Spirit, and being a Spirit can exist “IN” PEOPLE.
Me: NEVER GOD DIRECTLY CAN ABIDE IN PEOPLE!
THE FACT THAT THERE’S ONLY ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
OUR (human) Lord God JESUS CHRIST.
Read and accept the TRUTH!
John 17:22 And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one,

Produce scripture where God the Father Himself proclaim that
HE IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD! OR
HE IS THE TRUTH!
Peace and love in Jesus Christ
