Is Jesus the Logos?

The Word of God

We know that God created all things through his Word.

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

1 John 1:1-3
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

However, it is also written that God made all things through his son.

Hebrews 1:2
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

Colossians 1:15-17
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities– all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

1 Corinthians 8:6
yet there is for us only one God, the Father, who is the Creator of all things and for whom we live; and there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live.

There seems to be a direct link with the Word and the Son in the above verses as both are said to be the agent by which God created all things. Or did God make all things through his Word as well as the Son? If there was a time when there was only God and his Word as we read in John 1:1-3, then know that Jesus is not only described in similar terms as that Word but that he is actually called the Word of God too.

Revelation 19:13
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

It seems that with God making all things through his Word, through his Son, and even through Wisdom, this either means that these are all different agents, thus God invoked a number of things to create the Universe, or they are one and the same, i.e., the Word is Jesus Christ before he was called Jesus. Christ.

We are told that the Word became flesh and that is an obvious reference in a book devoted to Jesus Christ in a passage of scripture about the origins of Jesus Christ. So this either means that Jesus was newly created from the Word as some teach or that he is the Word but took on another form, that of flesh when he came to earth. The latter seems the more likely explanation given that God created all things through the Son and the Word and that Jesus Christ is even called the ‘Word of God’.

Even if there were no direct references for Jesus being the Word of God, there would still be a whole raft of other verses to contend with. These verses speak of Jesus existence before he came as a man (outside of mentioning the Word).

  • “Before Abraham, I am”, – John 8:58
  • “to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” – Jude 1:25,
  • He is before all things, and in him all things hold together –  Colossians 1:17.
  • etc.

Finally, we are told to not trust in the flesh, so if Jesus is only flesh, then should we trust him? After all we are explicitly taught that we are cursed if we trust in man. When we trust Jesus, are we trusting in man or the Word of God?

Jeremiah 17:5
This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the LORD.

    Hi Berean,

    First off, thanks for continuing the debate!

    You are confused by my last post it seems though, with the point I was trying to make. It’s about how one interprets a passage through who they already believe Jesus to be and if it is a passage where Jesus says “I”, then they are interpreting it through who they believe Jesus believes himself to be.

    You said, “I don’t say that”, come again?  You have not told me that Jesus is a God existing from the beginning?

    You just in your last post said as much! You said, “The Son of God was God in the BIGINNING…”

    Let me try again. I am most certainly not rewriting anything, go read one of Carmel’s post for that.

    When Jesus says “with the glory I had”, I am merely pointing out who it is that you identify the “I” as, which is a God who existed from the beginning, as that is who you believe Jesus knows himself to be.

    When Jesus says, “with the glory I had”, I am merely pointing out who it is that I identify the “I” as, which is the promised Son of Man and the promised Son of God, as that is who I believe Jesus knows himself to be.

    You are trying to prove that John 17:5 teaches that Jesus pre-existed, but your position is circular as you first must assert that he who is speaking identifies himself as pre-existing. You also at the same time have to deny the biblical fact that Jesus did indeed identify himself clearly as the promised Son of Man to whom God had promised He would be a Father to. You then also have to pretend to forget that Jesus preached that the Son of Man was to receive glory and then you must further pretend that such glory had not been with YHVH for this man before the world was. Oh but we can go even further, you then deny that the Son of Man in his resurrected flesh and bones body did in fact enter into the very glory that had been with YHVH for this man before the world was. Okay, maybe you don’t deny all of this you just don’t apply it where it is directly meant to be applied to, which I cannot honestly say that the later is better than the former. Jesus asked for something in John 17:5 and he confirmed that he had received it in Luke 24:26.

    You must learn to differentiate between: BEING (THE)GOD AND FATHER
    AND THE SON OF GOD THE FATHER WHO IS GOD (IN ESSENCE)

    We are human because our parents are human
    THUS IN THE BIGINNING THE SON OF GOD WAS GOD(DIVINE, GOD IN ESSENCE..)
    BECAUSE HE CAME OUT OF HIM (GOD THE FATHER) IN THE DAYS OF ETERNITY. (Micah 5:2)

    [27] For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that👉 I came out from God.
    28] 👉I came forth from the Father, 👈
    👉and am come into the world: 👈👉again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.👈

    Berean,  please tell us what the difference of Being someone,  and the “essence” of someone means.   I know it is a false Catholic  “trinitarian” teaching.

    Jodi and I and Nick,  have posted scripture after scripture to you over and over and you just hold on to your false teachings, are you so “indoctrinated” in the doctrines of you “Church” , you can’t even think for yourself anymore?  The word “essence”.  isn’t even in the Bible, if it is I have never seen it there,  as far as I can recall.

    peace and love to you and yours………gene

    Hi Jodi,

    You: Does Jesus identify himself as the Son of God by the works of God that he is able to do because the Spirit of God abodes in him? 

    Yes indeed, such is what we read Jesus proclaiming of himself throughout the gospels. 

    Me: No Jodi, that is your corrupted mentality!

    JESUS IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE SON OF GOD FROM THE AGE OF TWELVE!

    Read please:

    Luke 2:48 And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49And he said to them:

    How is it that you sought me?

    did you not know, that I must be about my father’s business?

    50And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them. 

    Jodi, do you deny the above scripture?

    Yes or know, please!

    Now to the next one:

    Matthew 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him. 

    14 But John stayed him, saying:

    I ought to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?

    15 And Jesus answering, said to him:

    Suffer it to be so now.

    For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice.

    Then he suffered him.

    Jodi, FROM THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE,

    DID JOHN KNOW THAT JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD?

    DEFINITELY YES!

    DID JESUS IDENTIFY HIMSELF THE SON OF GOD?

    DEFINITELY YES!

    NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO PROVE OTHERWISE AND DENY!

     

    Peace and love in Jesus Christ

    Carmel……..So at what age are we also the Sons of God?   Seeking Jesus called us all sons of Gd n scripture over and over,  remember? , our “father”who art in heaven”, and again ” how much more will your “father”who is in heaven give them of the spirit that ask”, and agin, “your “father”who is in heaven know you have need of these things” and again “

    Matt 5:16, Matt 5:45 Matt 5:48,  Matt 6: 14,  Matt 6 :15, Matt:6:26, Matt 6: 32, ,Matt 7:11, Matt 10:20, Matt 10:29, Matt 15:6, Matt 18:14, Matt 18:35, Matt 23:9,  that’s just 14 times in one book out of 32 times,  that say we “are the sons of God”.

    So tell us, how does saying Jesus is a son of God, make him any different the we are, in our “relationship”, to God the Father?

    Satan’s ministers want us all to believe Jesus is different the the rest of his human brothers and sisters,  that was his whole idea in turning the “man” Jesus into a God , it was to separate Jesus from the rest of his brothers and sisters,  seems you and the rest of false “Christianity” do the same thing, follow Satan’s “doctrine of separation”

    Hi gene,

    You: Carmel……..So at what age are we also the Sons of God?

    ME: It all depends on how and WHEN you receive your first love! 

    You: So tell us, how does saying Jesus is a son of God, make him any different the we are, in our “relationship”, to God the Father?

    First and foremost:

    Jesus is not a son of God But

    THE SON OF GOD UNIQUE!

    FOR HUMANITY, NO JESUS NO GOD THE FATHER!

    15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers:

    all things were created by him and in him.

    17And he is before all,

    and by him all things consist.

    18And he is the head of the body, the church,

    who is the beginning,

    the firstborn from the dead;

    that in all things he may hold the primacy:

    19Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father,

    that all fullness should dwell;

    20 And THROUGH HIM to reconcile all things unto himself,

    making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven.

    21And you, whereas you were some time alienated and

    enemies in mind in evil works: 

    22Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death,

    ATTENTION Gene! Here it comes the DIFFERENCE!

    to present you holy and unspotted, and blameless before HIM: 

    NOW READ HEREUNDER:

    John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you.

    As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine,

    so neither can you,

    unless you abide in me.

    OUR FIRST LOVE FOR THE SAKE OF THE FATHER!

     5I am the vine; you the branches:

    he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit:

    for without me you can do nothing. 

    CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE:

    MR SON OF GOD?

    Now read hereunder:

    John 1:12 But as many as received him,

    HE gave them the power to be made the sons of God,

    MORE DIFFERENCE Gene, answer please:

    WHO GAVE HUMANITY THE POWER TO BE MADE THE SONS OF GOD?

    Attention now Gene:

    to them that believe in

    HIS NAME.

    THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES GOD THE FATHER GAVE HIM!

    YAHWEH!

    ANSWER Gene!

    WILL EVER GOD THE FATHER GIVE TO ANY HUMAN BEING  A NAME LIKE HE GAVE TO HIS UNIQUE SON JESUS?

    YES OR NO PLEASE!

    MORE DIFFERENCE:

    Cont. John 1:13Who are born, not of blood,

    LIKE THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!

    nor of the will of the flesh,

    LIKE THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!

    nor of the will of man,

    LIKE THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE!

    but of God. JESUS

    Berean and Carmel…….The conclusion of what both of you say is completely unscriptural and not at all inline with our scriptures,  Carmel, Jesus was indeed “uniquely ” born , but none the less, a human being, exactly as we are, with our exception.  I showed you clearly how Jesus said we are also sons of God, he also said we must overcome “exactly as he did”, Just as it is written, “he that overcomes, I will grant to sit with me in my kingdom, “JUST AS I HAVE OVERCAME”, and sit in my Fathers kingdom”. 

    Berean there is no such word as  “essence” even written in our scriptures anywhere.  You are simply adhering to the false Catholic teaching of the “trinity”. , where the pagan Emperor Constantine made up the “false” Doctrine of Jesus being “homousious”, With God .  A doctrine designed by a pagan emperor under the influence of Satan to deceive “Christianity’’ into believing Jesus was different than the rest of humanity, in his existence.  This “Doctrine of Separation” was a teaching directly from Satan himself> It turns Jesus from a normal human being,  like the rest of us , into a God, and causes people to commit “IDOLATRY ”  and that is exactly what SATAN wants them to do,  and they even worship Jesus as a God, and even preach him as such.  2Ths 2.   Jesus will reject all who do that at his return, and as a result of him rejecting the Churches that preach  that, which is nearly all of them, the churches will turn against him and call him, the “ANTICHRIST” , a man “you people” falsely preach, that will come before Jesus,  the churches are already “predisposed ” to do that,  by the preaching of the false doctrine of “the Antichrist’.  When Jesus rejects them they will reject Jesus and call him the Antichrist.  Why because they expect a God to return, not a human being, so seeing him as a human being and not a God that they falsely preach, but  a “man of God” who rejects them and their false teachings, they will turn on him  calling him the “ANTICHRIST”.

    peace and love to you both and yours………..gene

    You unfortunately did not understand what Hebrew 1:3 says

    Who being the brightness of his glory, and 👉the express image of his person,👈

    The word translated here as person, can also be translated as “essence”, or “substance”

    Hi Berean,

    I have given you scripture that directly proves to you that Jesus was NOT the WORKER, that it was indeed YHVH our Father who was both the architect and the WORKER, where YHVH our Father had then rested from HIS WORK on the 7th day.

    Our heavenly Father’s hallowed name is YHVH and there is one YHVH.

    Deuteronomy 6: 4 `Hear, O Israel, YHVH our God is one YHVH; 5 and thou hast loved YHVH thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,13 YHVH thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;

    As said, YHVH our God is ONE YHVH.

    How are you going to try and twist this clear basic truth Berean? Jesus is a SERVANT to YHVH our God who is one YHVH. YHVH our heavenly Father formed man and breathed into his nostrils making him into a living soul. When He did that He knew of another man to come who would fulfill all His will for creating heaven and earth in the first place, for YHVH to become ALL IN ALL. 

    Genesis 2:7 And YHVH God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

    Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 5 Thus saith God YHVH, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I YHVH have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8 I am YHVH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

    Jesus asked us to pray, ” Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

    Our heavenly Father’s name is YHVH and there is the ONLY YHVH and He stretched out and spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it ALONE, including the people, who He made male and female just as Jesus said.

    YHVH elected one from among the people, ONLY him would YHVH give a certain GLORY to, ONLY this man was chosen to fulfill YHVH’s covenant and be for a light unto the world.  ONLY this man was called to righteousness, ONLY this man was born of the Spirit without measure filled with grace and truth and then was sent out into the world where people beheld his GLORY. YHVH gave this man a name above all other names, JESUS.

    YHVH made his WORD given to the prophet Isaiah true in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth and the people beheld his glory.

    Berean, go read through the gospels, 

    the SENDING is always in relation to Jesus quoting Isaiah 61

    Jesus’s glory that the people beheld is always in relation to him having been born of the Spirit at the river Jordan

    Jesus’s proof that he was indeed a Son is ALWAYS in relation to YHVH’s Spirit being in him and him being LED BY the Spirit, LED by YHVH to do YHVH’s works. 

    Berean, DIA does in fact mean BY REASON OF.

    Berean, you would do far better if you read scripture keeping in mind the below verse and believing that truly it is a Son of Man who was settled into YHVH’s House and His kingdom forever and was exalted to His right hand all according to a promise YHVH made before the world was.

    Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

    Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

    19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

    Berean, Jesus was born of the Spirit not by measure, called to righteousness and he was elected from among the people to be the only man to bring forth the gift of grace. The Spirit upon him bears the fruit of all goodness, righteousness and truth. That Spirit in him as attested to the gospels bore witness to his Spirit that he was a Son of God. 

    All you do is make Jesus into a false image.

    Why will I answer differently from other times?
    God the Father is the source of all LIFE, even that of his only BEGOTTEN Son “in the days of eternity” (Micah 5:2)
    When God does something for the Glory of His name, whatever means He uses, The glory comes to Him. Whether it is the creation of the world, the redemption of the world, and the JUDGMENT OF THE WORLD, THE GLORY GOES TO HIM FIRST, AND ALSO SECONDLY TO HIS BEGOTTEN SON.

    Révélation 5
    [1] And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
    [2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
    [3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, nor to look thereon.
    [4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
    [5] And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
    [6] And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
    [7] And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
    [8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
    [9] And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
    [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
    [11] And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and millions of thousands;
    [12] Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is 👉the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
    [13] And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power , be unto 👉him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb👈 for ever and ever.👈
    [14] And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and 👉 worshiped him 👈that lived for ever and ever.

    Hi Jodi,

    You: I have given you scripture that directly proves to you that Jesus was NOT the WORKER, that it was indeed YHVH our Father….

     

    Me: Jodi the above is KID’S STUFF!

    CAN YOU INSERT A NAIL INTO ANYTHING, WITHOUT THE USE OF A HAMMER OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, USING ONLY YOUR HAND?

    YES OR NO PLEASE! 

    NOW IF YOU USE A HAMMER OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, DOES THAT MEAN THAT

    YOU DID THE WORK

    ALL BY YOURSELF?

    YES OR NO PLEASE!

    OR WITH THE HELP

    OF ANOTHER PARTICULAR TOOL?

    Now let’s read Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said:

    It is not good for man to be ALONE:

    let us make HIM a HELP like unto HIMSELF. 

    THUS GOD GAVE THE MAN A HELP LIKE UNTO HIMSELF

    THE WOMAN IN FLESH.

    ATTENTION Jodi please:

    Now God created man, MALE AND FEMALE,  in the image and LIKENESS OF GOD!

    That means that the above verse

    “It is not good for man to be ALONE”:

    SINCE MAN WAS IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD, MALE AND FEMALE, 

    is also a reference to God,

    MALE AND FEMALE, ANDROGYNOUS!

    THUS, BEFORE CREATION STARTED, WHEN GOD, SPIRIT,  WAS IN HIS UNIQUE GLORY, ONE WITH HIS SON, PHYSICAL,  SAID:

    IT IS NOT GOOD FOR GOD TO BE ALONE!

    A CLEAR REFERENCE TO PHYSICAL CREATION! MOTHER EARTH! THE FEMALE!

    NOW WHEN WE READ THE NEXT VERSE IN Genesis 2:18 referring to the man IT SAYS:

    let us make HIM, A CLEAR REFERENCE TO SPIRITUAL CREATION IN THE MAN, THE LIVING SOUL,

    a HELP like unto HIMSELF!  

    HENCE: BOTH THE MAN AND THE WOMAN, MALE AND FEMALE, TWO HUMAN BEINGS,  WERE ALIKE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD, MALE AND FEMALE, THE FATHER AND THE SON!John17:5

    Likewise, since BOTH WERE  in the likeness of God,

    BEFORE CREATION STARTED GOD ALSO SAID:

    LET US MAKE  ME A HELP LIKE ONTO MYSELF,

     

    GOD! Male and female, in

    THE FATHER and THE SON!

    TO BE CLEAR:

    GOD THE FATHER WITHIN THE PHYSICAL BODY OF “THE WORD” MADE FLESH, THE SON OF MAN.  John17:5 ,John1:1

    AS MUCH AS GOD MADE A HELP ONTO THE MAN IN

    THE PHYSICAL BODY OF THE WOMAN, AND SINCE IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD, ALSO IN

    “THE WORD” MADE FLESH, THE SON OF MAN, IN ORDER FOR JESUS/SPIRIT TO MAINTAIN HIS PRIMACY,

    JESUS’ SPIRIT AS THE FIRST WOMAN, AS HE ALSO WAS IN THE FIRST MAN,

    SINCE ALL IN HIM, ALL BY HIM, AND ALL FOR HIM.

    FOR THE KINGDOM OF THE SON.

    SLAIN LIKE A LAMB FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD! Rev.13:8

    IT’S ALL YOURS Jodi and in this case, Gene, TO PONDER!

    You: I have given you scripture that directly proves to you that Jesus was NOT the WORKER, that it was indeed YHVH our Father….

    IN VIEW OF THE ABOVE TRUTH IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY ALTOGETHER SINCE THERE ARE

    TWO KINGDOMS:

    THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and

    THE KINGDOM OF THE SON,

    THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN and

    THE KINGDOM OF THE WORLD TO COME! RESPECTIVELY!

     

    Peace and love in Jesus Christ

    Jodi,

    You: Jesus’s glory that the people beheld is always in relation to him

    having been born of the Spirit at the river Jordan.

    Me: The above is your invention!

    Produce the specific scripture that says the above precise words!

    JESUS WAS BORN OF THE HOLY GHOST ONLY WHEN HE CAME OUT OF MARY AS

    THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

    YAHWEH, THE LIGHT, BORN IN JESUS!

    John 12:46 I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness. 

    BORN IN A RADIANT SPIRIT BODY!

    Jesus’s proof that he was indeed a Son is ALWAYS in relation to YHVH’s Spirit being in him and him being LED BY the Spirit, LED by YHVH

    to do YHVH’s works. 

    Me: AS WITHOUT JESUS, YAHWEH REMAINS UNKNOWN, MYSTERIOUS, AND HIDDEN ON THIS TANGIBLE PLANET.

    NO JESUS NO YAHWEH!

    John17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth:

    EVEN SLAIN LIKE A LAMB FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD Rev.13:8

    Re.5:1 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12Saying with a loud voice,

    Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

    13And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 

     

    John 17:5 I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

    Me: EVEN SLAIN LIKE A LAMB FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD! Rev. 13:8

    NO JESUS NO YAHWEH!

    5And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

    Isaiah 45;23 I have sworn by myself,

    the “WORD” of justice shall go out of my mouth,

    and shall not return:

    For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.

     

    Philippians 2:9 For which cause God also HATH exalted him,

    and HATH given him a name which is above all names:

    YAHWEH!

     10That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

    of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:

     11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

     

    Isaiah 45:24Therefore shall he say:

    In the Lord are my justices and empire:

    they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.

     

     

    Hebrews 1:8 But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:

    a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

    9Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity:

    therefore God, thy God,

    hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

     

    Isaiah 45:25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.

    John 17:23 I in them,

    and thou in me,

    that they may be made perfect in one;

    and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

     

    Peace and love in Jesus Christ

    Answer Gene, please:

    CAN A NORMAL HUMAN BEING EXIST IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT

    THE SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE ACT BETWEEN

    THE SPERM OF THE MAN AND THE OVUM OF THE  WOMAN,

    FROM CAIN ONWARD?

    YES OR NO PLEASE!

    Carmel here is your answer,   YES a normal human being can exist without sin,  Jesus is the perfect example of that, proving,  “with God “all” things are possible”.  According to Jesus, but then I know you truly don’t believe what Jesus said>  Jesus never thought himself to be good , he attributed “all” goodness to “One” God, YHVH,  the “ONLY” TRUE GOD”. according to “Jesus” that is.

    Carmel you and Berean , on the other hand are perfect examples of how “churches can screw up a persons mind”.

    peace and love to you and yours………gene

    Hi Berean,

    I am trying to hold you accountable to the sum of all scripture. You can give your belief all you want but you cannot continue saying that it is biblical truth when you aren’t able in the slightest to prove it in the sum of all scripture.

    You said that the Son was the worker and the Father was the architect. In the sum of all scripture, not just your hand picked ones you falsely interpret as you ignore vast amounts of the bible, your doctrine is exposed as a complete lie.

    The OT does not teach that YHVH our heavenly Father created heaven, earth and all things therein by the means of a Son. On the contrary the OT teaches us that He did so Alone, all by Himself and further we are given the PURPOSE and who He was creating it FOR.

    Moreover the OT has no problem telling us who will fulfill YHVH’s will, what this person will accomplish and how it is they accomplish it. Further we are directly given in the OT also that this is the very person YHVH had made creation by reason of and for. 

    When we get to the NT, the gospels are all about YHVH’s word being made true in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth. He is indeed the man of the OT to who YHVH had made creation by reason of and for and he is indeed the man of the OT who brings forth the End that YHVH had declared from the beginning.

    Berean, it is delusional to think that in the OT it is perfectly reasonable that YHVH tells us that a man is going to come and fulfill all of His will giving details BUT THEN JUST LEAVE OUT COMPLETELY that it was not actually YHVH alone who made heaven and earth but this man had also pre-existed and it was him who actually did the works of creation. That is not reasonable it is completely delusional.

    YOU: God the Father is the source of all LIFE, even that of his only BEGOTTEN Son “in the days of eternity” (Micah 5:2)

    ME: Berean, now who is rewriting scripture? 

    Micah 5: 2And thou, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From thee to Me he cometh forth to be ruler in Israel, And his comings forth are of old, From the days of antiquity.

    The above verse aligns with below passage perfectly.

    Isaiah 44:7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

    24 Thus saith YHVH, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

    Micah 5:4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of YHVH, in the majesty of the name of YHVH his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

    Berean, it’s also delusional to think that one verse in the OT is dropping some bombshell truth with just a couple of words and absolutely no further explanation, and is telling us that the ruler that is to come out from the tribe of Judah and go forth in the strength of YHVH as His servant and messenger had actually existed beforehand.  The goings forth of this man we are directly given was declared even before the days of old, it was declared from the beginning and even before the world was and he is coming forth from ancient people whom YHVH had appointed.

    Revelation 5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

    I don’t have anymore time or else I would go on about Revelation 5. Jesus indeed received eternal life and by such he LIVETH FOREVER. The lamb is the Son of David to whom God had promised He WOULD BE A FATHER TO and that He WOULD SETTLE him INTO HIS HOUSE AND KINGDOM FOREVER. YHVH raised him from the dead never to allow his flesh to see corruption and he gave him the sure mercies of David all as He had promised.

    Hi Jodi,

    You:The OT does not teach that YHVH our heavenly Father created heaven, earth and all things therein by the means of a Son

    Proverbs:8:30 I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;
