Hi Berean,

Gene is exactly right and the passages I was just reviewing expand on what he said.

Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he…[Read more]

Gene

I don’t believe a word you tell me that is a big lie. At least make the effort to give valid biblical support to your theory.

Hi Nick,

Let me expand a bit on my position,

I gave 1 Corinthians 12 and it goes on to say in verse 13, “For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.”

Indeed people were called by God receiving gifts of the Spirit at Pentecost, being bap…[Read more]

Berean…….We can all say the same thing,  “God glorify me with the Glory I had with you from the beginning of creation.”  ,  we are all to be given this glory,  need proof?   Scripture says …Pas8:4-6……> “what is man , (mankind) , that you that you are mindful of him?, and the son of man, that you visit him? For you have made him (mankind) a li…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

Yes, at Pentecost people received gifts of the Spirit for service to God to continue His work which had been done by His Spirit in Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in…[Read more]

@Jodi,
My persistence is a demand for truth, I am finding I have wasted 40 years following doctrines of man and not what God said. This isn’t the X-Files where “the truth is out there” as we argue over our interpretation of the bible; God told us HIS simple truth and we need to stop complicating what HE said.

Jonah is a prime example; Jesus made…[Read more]

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional

GENE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE, PART 1

Gene came to a turning point in his life and realized that the way he was living needed to change. As he drove home from work one day, he asked Jesus to come into his life and take over. Slowly, the Lord began to work. Gene and his wife began to occasionally attend a…[Read more]

This is spiritual language so put your logic spectacles  away.

Me

No

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which👉 I had with thee before the world was.👈 

The Truth IS There.

In the biginning,before the World was Jesus preexisted with the Father….

🙏

The Word was with God and the Word was God.

God is Spirit.

This is spiritual language so put your logic spectacles  away.

“God is not a man that He would lie.”

And there are no godmen in scripture.

Get salve for your eyes Berean,

then you may see the Spirit at work and speaking through the Son of God.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Jn 14.26

@ Nick

So whenever scripture identifies Jesus as a man, like Acts 2 and 17 etc these verses need to be scrubbed out of your Bible and replaced by “God?”

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation,👉 and took upon him 👈the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men…[Read more]

@Nick

I gave you the Bible texts and what do you do with them?

You dodge, always the same….and you call that being anointed with the Spirit.

Hi Jodi,

He who believes in me, as the scripture says, from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water. But this he spoke of the Spirit whom hose who believed in him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jn 7.36f

The Spirit in Jesus, given at the Jordan, was designed to fill all of…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Yashua was declared to be the Son of God at the Jordan. Because of his  perfect faithfulness to the demands of the OT Law he was found to be clean and not requiring the baptism of repentance of John, though he obeyed the requirement to fulfil all righteousness.
Having been anointed there with the Holy Spirit he began his walk in the…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU: “the bible says he was tempted in every way as we are without sinning.”

ME: I’d like to talk something out here with first highlighting some scriptures.

Ephesians 5:9 For the fruit of the Spirit is in ALL goodness and righteousness and truth.

Luke  3: 21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

“God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself”2 Cor 5.18

needs to be changed to “ God was in God”?

Hi Berean,

So whenever scripture identifies Jesus as a man, like Acts 2 and 17 etc these verses need to be scrubbed out of your Bible and replaced by “God?”

Hi Berean,

So all of scripture is wrong and you are right.

but

“ the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God”

The many sons of God do not have the same nature as God and are not God.
