God has divine nature, but many doctrines argue that divine nature has God
Here is a difference between identity and nature.

You can change your nature, but you are still you.

If nature defines God, then when you participate in divine nature, then you are God.

Let’s look at another example.

Jesus Christ came in the flesh.

Ezekiel 37:25… They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.

Adam, is your coming messiah, who will be a regular old human being in every possible way, going to live forever?

The eternity of God or God has always existed and therefore its nature

Psalm 90: 2
Before the mountains were produced, or before you formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

Your throne has been established since ancient times; You exist from all eternity.

Hi To all

Monday August 16, 2021,

God wants to free us from lusts

Like obedient children, do not conform to the lusts you once had, when you were in the dark. But since he who called you is holy, you too are holy.
1 Peter 1:14, 15.

The powerful grace of Christ transforms those who give themselves for the service of God. Penetrated by the…[Read more]

Then why mention it. To score points probably. But you get zero points with your post because the evidence you supplied is faulty. Have another go. Keep it factual if you can and we all might learn something. Thanks in advance.

Hi Proclaimer, sorry it’s not I who mentioned about the Word. Please refer my post to Gene which have replied.

The fourth gospel says that the Word was divine. There is no definite article in the last mention of theos.

As for the New Testament that you say is myth, well ask yourself (not us) does the Old Testament say that it is the complete revelation and plan of God? It doesn’t. In fact, each book was written at a different time. There is no THE END i…

This is not correct. The Bible does not teach this.

LU:Yes it does teach that. For starters, the Bible teaches that the Son is the Firstborn of the God He calls “Father.” Col 1:15

The Bible also teaches that the Son is the exact representation of the Father’s nature. Heb 1

The Bible also teaches that the Father identifies…[Read more]

Hello brother Gene, thanks for your post to me. We are debating here on the Messiahship of Jesus. In fact there are no two comings of Messiah in the Hebrew Bible. Vicarious Atonement of Jesus is another myth. In fact human sacrifice is abomination to Yahweh.

I am not misguided by anyone and in fact I am on search for true religion of the Hebrew…

I think it is fair to say that this has worked for a long time now

This is not correct. It is more accurate to say that God has divine nature than divine nature is God.

We can inherit divine nature. So when we have divine nature, then are we God? No. It means that we have divine nature the same nature as God.

Thus God is a person. An identity. His nature is not what defines him as God.

Likewise, God is a…[Read more]

Amen Berean, you said

 His sonship HAD a BEGINNING but not His DIVINE NATURE WHICH HAD NO BEGINNING AND NO END.

I will add that not only did the sonship have a beginning but the fathership would have as well at the same moment unless there was a son prior to Jesus but that would knock Jesus out of the firstborn spot. The divine essence of the…[Read more]

Sorry that I never answered your question above.

Please go here:

Hebrews 1:8

@genebalthrop

Why are you obsessed with flesh? It seems your doctrine is the doctrine of flesh.

Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

@berean

If we inherit divine nature, do we become omniscient?

God knows everything because he is eternal and no one existed before God. There is nothing outside of God.

The Son was begotten of God.

Colossians 1:15-18
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

YOU: Carmel, post #872811 is the most brilliant post you’ve ever made here!     (just messing with you)

What do you expect from a person still living on milk!

Peace and love in Jesus Christ

Hi Mike.

YOU:  …you wouldn’t be able to just take my word for it if I told you that the things I’m trying to show you came via revelation from God, right?

ME:  YOUR OWN PREACHING WOULD JUSTIFY WHETHER IT IS A REVELATION OR NOT!
