“I maintain that Jesus was God”

Yes In the biginning “the Word” (the Son OF GOD )was God)

Because my father and my mother were human beings, I am a human being, likewise because Jesus is the literal BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, HE IS OF THE SAME NATURE AS THE FATHER: GOD( divine nature)
VERY SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND.

AND the Word was mad…[Read more]

Jesus was made clean by perfect obedience to the Law.

He proved the Law was righteous and fulfilled it perfectly.

He was already clean in the sight of God when he reached the Jordan

He opened the door to the Kingdom for all by his death and resurrection.

He tightened the requirements of obedience to the Law

The door to salvation through…[Read more]

Jesus summarised the Law when speaking to the rich young ruler in Lk 18

” You know the commandments,

’DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY

DO NOT MURDER

DO NOT STEAL

DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.”

the proud breast beating about sabbath keeping?

Hi Berean,

You said

“I maintain that Jesus was God”

How do you align this with what you have quoted from Holy Scripture

”There is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ”?

Is Jesus not the SON OF God?

He said he was. Your deductions do not line up with the teachings of Jesus.

And I maintain that Jesus was God and man and that HE lived as a man without taking advantage of his divinity for himself.
This is what you don’t understand.

If Jesus had been only a man he would have been like all men with the need of a SAVIOR FOR ALL MEN HAVE SINS, ALL ARE DEPRIVED FROM THE GLORY OF GOD, THERE IS NOT ONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT ONE A…[Read more]

It seems to be a carryover from the trinity idea that Jesus was God

to see him as big, strong and with huge advantages over us common men.

It goes against the reality that all can follow him into his relationship with his God by being reborn into his body.

Nobody here said that Jesus had advantages over us….

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional

EILEEN SHELTERED BY GOD

Eileen was in a desperate situation. As a 27-year-old mother of four children, she had suffered physical abuse from her husband for 12 years. After being placed in a battered women’s shelter, her husband tracked her down. So she ran with her children out into a snowstorm to e…[Read more]

Hi,

It seems to be a carryover from the trinity idea that Jesus was God

to see him as big, strong and with huge advantages over us common men.

It goes against the reality that all can follow him into his relationship with his God by being reborn into his body.

Therefore, since we have a great High Priesr, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of…[Read more]

Therefore He ( Jesus of Nazareth) had to be made like his brethren in all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For since he himself was tempted in that which he has suffered, he is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

Heb 2.17

Indeed Berean,

there is one God, the Father

and one Lord Jesus Christ.

one baptism.

Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ as spoken of through Peter at Pentecost has many witnessing scriptures to prove its veracity.

Baptism in the name of. Trinity as recorded in Mt 28 has no witnessing scriptures and was never recorded as being performed…[Read more]

It is the Word of God that must decide, and it has already done so, it must be accepted.
The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, Jesus said.
The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.

Thank you Jodi and Gene,

”As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made carful searches and enquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.”1 Peter1.10f

Good Morning Desire Truth,

I admire your persistence and trying to hold folks accountable to your question concerning the OT scripture that Paul was speaking to in 1 Corinthians 15 as it relates to 3 days and 3 nights.

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according…[Read more]

Nick……Amen to you last post,  Indeed Peter, and the other Apostles did the same things Jesus did and no one ever called them God.   These people worship Jesus as their God, which turns the “Image”  of him into the “Image’” of a God, which breakers the first commandment, which then turns the “Image” of him into a “man of sin”.   Exactly as Paul i…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

I presume you are speaking of the trinity speculation which seems to have been spawned from Catholicism. They claim to be infallible so you agree?

The Holy Spirit will guide those who have obeyed and been born of water and the Spirit.

We must be baptised into Jesus Christ, in his name.

It is the Word of God that must decide, and it has already done so, it must be accepted.
The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, Jesus said.
The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.
