Danny you quoted……> 1John.4
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent 👉his only begotten Son👉 into the world, that we might live through him.

Let’s think about that ok,  Who sent his only begotten son, was it the Son who sent himself, or was it God who sent him?   And in what way are we to live through him? ,  by h…[Read more]

REV.19:13. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Important topic thanks for creating it!

My understanding,

Are sins are forgiven in Christ.

Christ = a man who has been born of the Spirit called to righteousness.

No other man received God’s Spirit as Jesus did being called to righteousness, we were all bound to sin and death.

God forgives us through Christ and what does Christ…[Read more]

Danny , we’re talking about the “first “LOVE”,  not the first begotten from death to eternal life, by the Lord God raising him from the dead.   I think you’re shifting what we are talking about here.   Please go and read what Jesus told the Church at Ephesus in revelations, and think about it, because that fits exactly the way, nearly all churche…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

You: AND the second is “LIKE” unto it, ( but not the same). You shall love you neighbor as thyself .
The “Second” is not the same as the first, DANNY.

Me: Jesus Christ is in the first, because He is the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16

Danny,  yes we should love JESUS, but there is a priority, when it comes to love.  Let’s let Jesus explain it……..> “Mark 12: 29-31….> “And Jesus answered him,  the “FIRST” of “ALL” the commandments is Hear,  O Israel ; The LORD OUR GOD is “ONE” Lord: And you shall love the Lord thy GOD  with “ALL” your hear, and with “ALL”  your soul, and with…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

You: This is the way most churches exist today, they have replaced the love for, God the Father , for their LOVE FOR JESUS.

Me: We should love BOTH of them.
1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

To all…….sorry for the misspelling in my above post it should have said…..>. “God so loved the world that he gave his only (uniquely) begotten Son , that who soever believed in him should not perish”.

Jesus also said …….> “many”, would come unto him , in that day saying , in your name we have done all these good  works, and he would say unto th…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Subdue- does not equate to God having appointed the man Adam as a king over others and over all creatures great and small, so there’s that!

Scripture does not say that the man Adam was appointed as a king, which is what you said and you also stated you weren’t inventing anything. You cannot provide the scripture that speaks to Adam…[Read more]

I don’t see any scripture that says that Adam was appointed a king to rule over all of mankind and all living creatures upon the earth, before or after the fall.

Hi Berean,

I don’t see any scripture that says that Adam was appointed a king to rule over all of mankind and all living creatures upon the earth, before or after the fall.

The scriptures speaks of man, male and female humans that were to multiply and THEY would have dominion over the fish, over the birds and over all living creatures on…[Read more]

@Jodi

You

I asked you what does it mean that man was created in the image of God, what image does man have that God has and it seems your answer is his dominion over the earth.

Me

Before sin Adam WAS the king of the earth, the shepherd of paradise.

Hi Berean,

YOU:

Is there not in the meaning of having dominion over the animal world for Adam an element of the fact that he was created in the image of God and in his likeness?

God would dominate his creation, Yes but through Adam…
Isn’t there an aspect of the “image of God”?

ME: 

I asked you what does it mean that man was created in the…[Read more]

Yes, scripture tells us that man was created in God’s image, what does that mean though? How was man created in the image of God?

@T3

You: The passage from Numbers would be important only when a child’s father was from one tribe (e.g., Benjamin), and the mother was from another (e.g., Simeon). The provision to “number” through the father’s lineage was simply a clean, simple way to settle any potential confusion / disagreement. Because if both mother and father were from th…[Read more]

A few years back, I decided to publish my 25 years of research / musings on this doctrine, “Testing the Trinity”.  It is available through most on-line booksellers in either paperback or e-book format, but I also published the full book on-line and free of charge here.

Hi Proclaimer.  Apologies if I’ve already posted this link in this forum before, but here’s my take on the whole Logos question:  The Word of God

@DesireTruth:

Given the supernatural circumstances of Jesus’ birth, how can He be considered to be of the tribe of Judah and therefore qualify to be the Messiah?  Consider the following facts:

• The passage from Numbers would be important only when a child’s father was from one tribe (e.g., Benjamin), and the mother was from another (e.g., Sime…
