…therefore the only son would not be the prototype.

Not so. In Greek, the word for firstborn is protótokos which is where we get our word ‘prototype’. In English, the word prototype is taken from the Greek, prototokos. It means the first or the basis for a new design.

Regardless, God was not born. The Son was born from God. He came from God.…[Read more]

Even a child knows that the child is the same type as their father, therefore the only son would not be the prototype. The father would be the prototype of his only begotten son who would not have any siblings of the same type of both he and his father since he is an only begotten.

Not sure which is best. While revelation from God is the best, it is open to controversy. Sometimes people say they get revelations from God when they are no such thing. Science is another way. Testing something continuously to see if it is always true. Of course, science is only good for physical things. Common sense is also another way to…[Read more]

Not disagreeing with that.

He is the father because he has produced offspring.

But he has and always be God.

And Jesus is his Son.

First son. The prototype.

Even a child knows that with every father, there is a son or daughter that “made him a father”. No one becomes a father independently of their offspring.

Understanding God is not for the intellectual, but everyone. A child can believe in the one true God. People who say otherwise have to resort to mental gymnastics and claim they are more intelligent. But the wise of this world are fools.

It might be too intellectual for you, not sure.  🙂

I ALREADY DID IN THE POST#941611 ADDRESSED TO Jodi and Gene.

This wasn’t aimed at you. It was aimed at anyone who believes that the Word was WITH God.

Hi Proclaimer,

YOU: The Word was WITH God.

Then we are taught that Jesus Christ is with God now, and in the glory he had with the Father before the cosmos.

Deal with it.

I ALREADY DID IN THE POST#941611 ADDRESSED TO Jodi and Gene.

Nevertheless

Let’s DEAL WITH IT AND BE MORE SPECIFIC FOR THE SAKE OF TRUTH.

Just specify THE BEST ONE!

FORGET SCRIPTURE!

IN OUR PHYSICAL TERMS PLEASE!

SINCE GOD OPTED TO ENTER THIS WORLD

IN ALL THINGS LIKE HIS BRETHREN!

There are a number of ways to confirm truth.

But the question is whether you believe scripture or not.

Hi Proclaimer,

You: @carmel

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.

Now this is eternal life:

Crucifying your own will is free will. It shows two things:

1. That you have a will and it may not necessarily line up with God in all things. Having your own will means you can choose things you want.
2. That you can see that God’s will is better do what he wants as opposed to what you want. You are freely giving up your desires or desire to not…

Proclaimer……No that is anexample of putting his “will” to death,  your making it like there is a will and there is a “freewill”,  that dosen’t work you either have simply a Will, that is druven by your own desires, or you have a “freewill”, that is “free” of any enfluences.  Which is it you can’t have it both ways.

My belife is that Jesus ov…[Read more]

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional

THE UNRECOGNIZED KING 

Naples was on the verge of insurrection against the Italian monarchy when King Humbert took the throne. Politicians urged violent measures to force the city into submission, but King Humbert refused. However, in 1884, Naples was soon hit by an outbreak of cholera, and the dreaded…[Read more]

I haven’t watched this, but I imagine it will contain a lot of mental gymnastics in order to suit a narrative.
