You must be wilfully blind.

All things were made by God and through him, (logos, Son of God, Jesus Christ).

And Jesus who you claim to be God is actually the Son of God.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God:…[Read more]

From pandemic to endemic

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.  
Not only is Jesus—God—responsible for creating all things, He is also the reason all things continue to exist. AMEN!

Proclaimer, Mike,

SINCE Christ IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, IT IS TO SAY ALL CREATION, IT IS THAT HIMSELF IS NOT A CREATURE, HE IS A BEGOTTEN BEING, THE REFLECTION OF THE GLORY OF THE FATHER AND THE EVEN FOOTPRINT OF HIS PERSON, HE IS EQUAL TO THE FATHER.

The next easiest one for me (which doesn’t make it correct) is the legs of iron being Rome. I say this for a number of reasons.

Rome had two legs. East and West.
It’s affiliation with iron is not to be underestimated. The Roman Iron Age as some call it was significant. The iron weapons of Rome was part of its military prowess. This kingdom was…

Two different Fathers:

1. the Father that has an only begotten literal son.
2. the father that has no literal son, only non-literal sons.

I believe the Son is the only begotten literal son of God. I have been saying that for 28+ years. Jesus is begotten, not created. A created son would not be a literal son.

It seems like Berean, Danny,…[Read more]

Mike says

If a living thing is born, isn’t it also a new creation that didn’t exist before it was born? Can you think of an exception?

All five of my children were born about nine months AFTER they first existed.

It is not birth that causes an offspring to exist, it’s conception. Mike has been through this Biology lesson many times now and sho…[Read more]

I believe that Christ will return before the Millennium, that is, before his literal 1,000 year reign IN HEAVEN (NOT ON EARTH) I am not Futurist. Please go to the thread I posted: The moral purpose of prophecy

Thank you….

No Mike you are not.

If you see the summary of the above commentary Hippolytus replaced the earlier interpretations by incorporating Roman Empire as the Fourth Empire of Daniel and by merging the Media with Persian Kingdom which became the Second  and Greece became the Third.

This is natural. When a future event is prophesied, people only have data from their time…[Read more]

Proclaimer……Kingdoms are just symbols of who has the predominate rule, not  every little kingdom that exists  within or without them, have the greater rule.

Here are the seven kingdoms that had the greater rule. And for centuries even millenia.

Egypt – 3100 to 677 BC (Genesis 12:10)
Assyria – 677 to 626 BC (Genesis 2:14)
Babylon – 626 – 539 BC (…[Read more]

Well done, Gene.

1 John 5 American Standard Version
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

I know from the letter to the Colossians that the Son of God IS BEFORE ALL THINGS …. THIS MEANS ETERNITY ….. AND THIS IS ENOUGH FOR ME. I BELIEVE.

It means he is before the cosmos and all creation.

It doesn’t mean that he was before or at the same time as God.

It means that he was with God before all things.

The words Father and Son hav…[Read more]

That is Hulk Hogan and his offspring.  As the offspring of a human being, she is equally human.  She likely even has many qualities of the one who begot her.  But being Hogan’s offspring doesn’t mean she is automatically as strong as him, and can pick up grown men and throw them across the room.  So you need to drop the idea that Jesus MUST be…

Hi Mike,

You; Your version confirms that Jesus is a possession of his God – 

JESUS Mike,  IS
both ONE SUBSTANCE WITH THE FATHER AND DISTINCT!
You: as are we all. 
WRONG Mike!
WE ARE ALL IN JESUS CHRIST!
NOT IN GOD THE FATHER

THE FACT THAT GOD ESTABLISHED

THE GOD AND FATHER OF BOTH SPIRITS AND FLESH BEINGS IN JESUS CHRIST
GODMAN!

Berean: Mike

I know from the letter to the Colossians that the Son of God IS BEFORE ALL THINGS …. THIS MEANS ETERNITY ….. AND THIS IS ENOUGH FOR ME.

The phrase “before all things” doesn’t mean “eternity”.  Not in Colossians, and not ever.

Hi Mike,

Rev 1:1… The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.

Mike, Jesus Christ, above is GLORIFIED GODMAN and He possesses all God’s things as His! Read:

John17:10 And all my things (HUMAN’S) are thine,

and thine (GOD’S) are mine;

and I am glorified in them.   (BOTH GOD’S AND HUM…[Read more]

Berean:  2 Timothy 2:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD (the divine Son of God) WAS MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Carmel:  Proverbs 8:22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways,
