    Why does Jammin keep ignoring 1 John 5:20?  Isn't that what this discussion is about?


    that is the true meaning of 1 john 5.20

    john said that Christ is the true GOD.

    your opinion will always be an opinion.

    until now you cant even read any single verse that Christ is not called the true GOD.

    study hard boy


    Jammin,

    WHERE?

    Why haven't you even quoted the actual words and put them in a sentence together before?

    You just keep repeating that:
    “john said that Christ is the true GOD.”

    Did he say those exact words? If not, which words did he actually say in 1 John 5:20 that lead you to believe that thought?

    Why do people think that repeating something makes it true?
    It doesn't. It is foolish to think that the more times you repeat something that is your opinion (without actually quoting scripture) that it will somehow MAGICALLY become true.

    Repeating things does not make them true.
    You do understand this? Maybe you don't.

    It would take you 10 seconds to quote actual words from the Bible that say Jesus is the “true GOD.”

    So, why haven't you?

    Charles,

    I've liked you since you joined HN. But I rarely have any idea what you are saying, or how you even came to your understanding from the scriptures I've read.

    Anyway, I've started a “Was Jesus Created?” thread for this discussion, so as not to interfere with the topic of this thread.

    peace,

    Hi Jammin,
    Why do you tell us to read the bible when you only partly understand about Three Verses?


    –Nick.

    Yes, it is so ironic that jammin says things like this, but cannot put together a few words quoted from the Bible to support what he believes.

    He just repeats: “1 John 5:20,” And that Christ is the “true God.”

    I'm quite certain 1 John 5:20 doesn't actually say that.

    And since Jammin is incapable for some reason of showing us where 1 John 5:20 actually says that, I guess he is just making things up. Human opinions are bad, but when you think that by repeating them over and over you can convince others that they are true, without the use of the Bible, you are really only convincing yourself that they are true.

    do you understand your logic??

    –Jammin to Nick.

    Ok, Jammin, you do understand the word “logic” apparently.

    So, let's begin there.

    Your “logic”is that:

    the Bible does not say: 'Christ is NOT the true God.'

    You think that statement is logical.

    But your logic is INCONSISTENT and therefore, most likely wrong.

    It is inconsistent because you do not believe (for example, but use any of a million examples) that Jesus is Michael, and yet, the Bible does not say: “Jesus is not Michael.”

    (This is about your logic, and not about Michael. Insert just about any other word in place of Michael.)

    Once again, I am not here trying to say that Jesus is Michael, but only using it as an example that you apparently must believe in order for your own LOGIC to remain consistent.

    When logic isn't consistent, one must ask why.

    Jammin, you said:

    “the son is also called the true GOD.”

    So I asked:
    “In this verse?  Where?  Please explain.  Please explain why your Bible inserts the words “Jesus Christ” when they don't exist in the original writing?  Were the original writers right, or was the translation team that added those words right?  Please answer this.”

    I've actually asked this many times.

    Jammin, why are you unable to actually discuss or explain this verse?  is it because deep down you know it is just your opinion, and not what the Bible actually says.


    For the 7th time, where does it say those words?

    And, why do you want to keep it a secret, if you are trying to tell us it's true?

    QUESTION:

    Where in 1 John 5:20 are we told that Christ is God?


    Jammin, I am pretty sure you never answered this.

    I don't think you actually have any desire to discuss this scripture.

    Do you?  

    I actually like this scripture and so I like to discuss it.

    Why do you refuse to discuss this scripture?  

    Where in this scripture does it say what you claim it says?  Please point it out.  Please quote the exact words.  If you can't do this, then it seems you have no case and are just expressing your own opinions and not what the bible says.


    I no longer think that jammin actually believes what he is saying, because he has no desire to actually discuss 1 John 5:20.  
    If he wants people to believe that 1 John 5:20 says what he claims, doesn't he know that he would have to actually present some sort of evidence or discussion and not merely repeat his own opinion?


    Jammin, this thread is about 1 John 5:20.

    Why can't you tell us what it says? Use quotation marks so we know that what you are saying is a quote from the Bible.
    Then, say: “See, this is what the bible actually directly says.”

    I am looking at the LOGIC of 1. and 2. (I am using another example in 3 and 4 to consider if that logic can be trusted, consistently. This post is about the logic of 1 and 2, not about proving that Jesus is Michael.)

    1. The Bible doesn't say: “Christ is NOT God”

    2. This is proof for Jammin that Christ IS God,

    Following the exact same logic:

    3. Bible doesn't say: “Christ is NOT Michael the Archangel”

    4. This therefore must be proof that Christ IS Michael.

    Again, because I know you can't consider the logic and will therefore try to create a strawman fallacy, I am again stating that THIS POST IS ONLY ABOUT THE LOGIC OF YOUR ARGUMENT (1 AND 2)

    If Jammin's logic is to be trusted, he must believe that Jesus is Michael.

    See Ed?

    Now you attempt to play the same twisted game with me.  Have I ever claimed that Jesus is the Word simply because there are no scriptures saying he isn't?  YES or NO?

    We can all see through these games, Ed.  And they really reflect poorly on YOU – not on us.

    You should reconsider your approach, IMO.


    Hi Mike,

    Are there any verses that say Jesus is(?) the word?

    There are verses that TEACH that Jesus is the Word of God, Ed.

    But no, there isn't a scripture that specifically states, “Jesus is the Word of God” to my knowledge.

    Hi MB,
    Scripture is carefully laid out.

    It would not say Jesus of Nazareth is the Word of God-because Jesus of Nazareth had to be anointed first[acts 10.38]

    John did say he had heard, seen and beheld and handled the WORD in 1 jn1.

    But he spoke of the WORD OF LIFE. He said the LIFE was manifested-the ETERNAL LIFE, which was WITH THE FATHER and was manifested to us.

    What may have seemed like a reference to Jesus became a clear reference to the Spirit of Life. This Spirit of life is IN Christ Jesus[rom8.2]

    This should be a clear statement of what is most important to God- The Spirit and not the flesh

    hi caarmel. i read the whole chapter 17 of john but i cant read your belief.
    can you give e the exact verse.

    you said that the holy spirit has his own spirit. where  is that in john 17?


    Quote

    Jammin,

    THe Father ,the Son,and the Holy Spirit is God Almighty as a supreme ONE spirit

    But individually they function as single spirits,but always with the power of God Almighty.

    regarding John 17,

    I meant that all the chapter is a demonstration of the individuality of the Father ,Son and Holy Spirit, but also as a triune one God.

    Reading 17:1:5,Jesus is referring to His glorifcation,but as we all know it is all through the Holy Ghost,that He eventually was resurrected. So it is the glorification of the Son but also of the Father in the Holy Ghost.

    So this Chapter is a direct reference of all the work  by the Holy Ghost,onto the Son, through the Father.

    17:6:23 Jesus is refering to His disciples,mission and also to all those that follow through their gospel.

    So again Jesus is praying to the Father but it is a direct reference to the Holy Ghost's work which eventually would commences His particular direct work from pentecost.

    So again through the Holy Spirit we all reciceve both the Son and the Father.

    Then 24:26 is the current glory not of the Son but also of the desciples since they evetually would be in the same glory where Jesus would be. So it is the fruit of the Holy Ghost's work on earth through the kingdom of the Son in the Father.The Church. The Bride.

    GOD'S KINGDOM ON EARTH THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST.

    peace and love in Jesus

    It sure is, Nick.

    That's why the angel said Jesus was BORN the Christ. :)

    Not only that, but Paul said it was JESUS who was existing in the form of God before being made into a human being.

    And Jesus said that HE came down from heaven, not the spirit within me came down from heaven.

    Yep, scripture sure is carefully laid out, isn't it?

    You say there was no “JESUS” involved with the spirit of Christ until the Jordan, when “JESUS” and the spirit of Christ merged into one being.

    If that's the case, then it was the spirit of Christ existing in the form of God in Phil 2, and had nothing to do with the name or person “JESUS” at all.

    Yet Paul said “JESUS”, didn't he? Yep, scripture is sure carefully laid out, just like you said.

    Nick,

    If JESUS CHRIST didn't exist until the Jordan, then JESUS CHRIST wasn't existing in the form of God before being made into the likeness of a human being.

    Yet Paul says that not only “JESUS” was existing in the form of God, but that God's “CHRIST” was existing in the form of God.

    So not only was the person JESUS there, but he was already God's CHRIST before being made into a human being.

    This is why and how JESUS was BORN the Christ of God.

    David,

    Read this :

    JOHN 17 :3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent

    According to you what is the right definition OF:

    “that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,”

    TO ME IT IS EQUIVALENTto :

    The only true God is :

    GOD AND JESUS CHRIST,after the glorification of Jesus Christ through the Father by the Holy Ghost

    So God must be also Jesus Christ and vice versa.

    So God and Jesus Christ  are ONE

    So God and Jesus Christ are both glorified in One mystical body of Jesus Christ

    So it is useless to call true God without referring to Jesus Christ as well.
