Berean…..Do you really think God only has “one Son” that simply is not true. Jesus was indeed a uniquely “Begotten” son. I do understand that but , most definitely not God’s “only” son. Many scriptures prove that point. Jesus was the “only” “begotten” Son, that God himself begot, through a physical human being by HIMSELF implanting the DNA, IN THE WOMB OF A HUMAN WOMEN. That was unique, but to say that Jesus is the “only” Son of God , is a completely contradiction scripture . Even Adam is called “the son of GOD.”
If you want to talk about unique, Adam and Eve , were unique , because neither of them come from WOMENS WOMB, now that is also unique to mankind. But as far as a women having a child by the act of her egg being implanting without having sex, with a man , this is done every day now. So that is no unique theses days, but what made it unique was that God himself performed that act, in a women , he took the DNA of King David’s linage and implanted Mary with it, and that produced a 100 % human baby , who he named Jesus, who he Anointed with his Holy Spirit, which made him a Son of God . The exact same way we all must have happen to us also.

April 5, 2021 at 3:56 am#870079JodiParticipantHi LU,
ME:
Please explain how it is that we are to be judge by a human whom God ordained, and how we see that he as the promised son of Jesse judges us according to the Spirit of YHVH that is upon him?
YOU:
God the Father is the head of the YHVH Unity that includes the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Unity alone created the universe.
The Son emptied Himself of His divine majesty and took the form of a human servant, then was later highly exalted above every name by His own Father; that at the name of Jesus both angels and men, the living and the dead, should pay their adorations, and that every nation should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to the glory of God the father.
ME:
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
1 Cor 15: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Eph 5: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the Spirit of the LORD (YHVH) shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (YHVH); 3 And SHALL MAKE him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD (YHVH): and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
LU, Acts 17 tells us that God WILL JUDGE the world IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY the MAN whom God has ordained. Isaiah 11 tells us that the Spirit of YHVH rests upon a MAN where we know that the fruit of that Spirit is in all goodness, RIGHTEOUSNESS and truth. Not by this man’s own eyes and ears does he judge, he judges in the righteousness of the Spirit of YHVH that is upon him. We are also told that this man was raised from the dead receiving from God the promised Holy Spirit where he BECAME the firstfruits of them that slept. We are joint heirs with Christ where we too are promised the Spirit.
NONE of these passages fit with your doctrine, they are against it.
Jesus is not YHVH, he is the son of Jesse, a human who has the Spirit of YHVH dwelling within him. Jesus is the man ordained by YHVH to judge the world, where he is a Son of God according to the very image Paul gives us, one who is LED by the Spirit of YHVH in all ways.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
April 5, 2021 at 6:35 am#870085BereanParticipantGOD HAS NOT GIVEN A SON OF GOD, BUT HIS ONLY OWN BEGOTTEN SON (John 3:16 AND Romans 8)
April 5, 2021 at 7:44 am#870089GeneBalthropParticipantGod has begotten many Son of his, ” know you not that “NOW” you are the Son’s of God ” ? Even Jesus told us to call , NO man, your father on earth, because we (all true children of God), have only one Father who is in heaven. We are “Now” ourselves Children of God too.
Berean , Satan wants you to believe Jesus is NOT PART OF THE HUMAN RACE. His teachers and ministers who formed and operate all the fallen Churches of today want you and all humanity to move Jesus AWAY FROM OUR REAL IDENTITY WITH HIM.
Trying to make him into a God himself……2ths2. Its all there , for those who have eyes to see.
Peace and love to you and yours……….gene
April 5, 2021 at 3:27 pm#870095JodiParticipantBerean,
John 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 34 For he whom God hath SENT speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Luke 4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, ….18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath ANOINTED me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath SENT ME
Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ (ANOINTED), the Son of God;… 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ..16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee…37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
Berean, Jesus was the ONLY mortal man to have been begotten by YHVH with His Spirit WITHOUT MEASURE a CALLING TO RIGHTEOUSNESS where YHVH directed all His ways, holding his hand and keeping him to fulfill His covenant (Isaiah 42).
Jesus was BORN of water and of the Spirit at the river Jordan and then HE WAS SENT OUT INTO THE WORLD. NO OTHER mortal man was born of the Spirit without measure, he was God’s only begotten Son SENT TO —- to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
1 Chronicles 17:11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever. 13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee: 14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
EVERY passage that you THINK teaches Jesus pre-existed is actually supporting the fact that YHVH had declared the END FROM THE BEGINNING, He had declared the son of David to be our savior FROM THE BEGINNING.
Acts 2: 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Luke 1: 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
Our savior is YHVH who is our one God the Father and HE SAVED us not through sending some only begotten spirit son to be flesh, HE SAVED us through the MAN whom He begot with His Spirit giving him the glory that He had promised to no other, where He then LED him in all His ways as He sent him out to fulfill His covenant (Isaiah 42).

“Our savior is YHVH who is our one God the Father and HE SAVED us not through sending some only begotten spirit son to be flesh, HE SAVED us through the MAN whom He begot with His Spirit giving him the glory that He had promised to no other, where He then LED him in all His ways as He sent him out to fulfill His covenant (Isaiah 42). “
Me
Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus:
[6] Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
[7] But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon HIM
the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
April 6, 2021 at 2:57 am#870098GeneBalthropParticipantBerean……That scripture is another translation error, it should read Jesus did not think to rob God to make himself to be equal with him. I did a research on that scripture years ago. There is a controversy surrounding it. But can you see what you are trying to do? Your taking something that can be taken several different ways and applying it against a whole host of non controversial scriptural scriptures, that Jodi and I quote to you. You use that to muddy the waters of truth, were trying to show you and others. Solid biblical truths, you can’t honestly dismiss them as if they don’t exist can you?
If you want to show us what is wrong about what we are saying them deal with the scriptures quoted and show us where they are wrongly understood by us. Don’t just run off some where and quote something that changes the subject or diverts the subject matter, trying to move the attention away from those scriptural points they produce .
peace and love to you and yours……..gene
April 6, 2021 at 5:10 am#870099Danny DabbsParticipantGene and Jodi,
Maybe you are right that Jesus started His life as a human being.
Born of the Holy Spirit from Mary.
I have to research this.

You’ve been deceived by false teachers, I would never believe your false doctrine on Christ.
The King James Bible is one of the safest Bibles.April 6, 2021 at 8:00 am#870102carmelParticipantHi Gene,
YOU: God has begotten many Son of his, ” know you not that “NOW” you are the Son’s of God ” ?
Gene, ARE YOU IN THE POSITION TO TELL US ON HEAVENNET
“HOW” THE HUMAN RACE, APART FROM THE JEWS, FROM CHILDREN OF SATAN BECAME CHILDREN OF GOD?
1Peter 2 Who in time past WERE NOT A PEOPLE: but are now THE PEOPLE OF GOD. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy.
NO, YOU DON’T KNOW I’M AFRAID, SINCE YOU DON’T ACCEPT THAT JESUS IS NOT ONLY JUST A HUMAN BEING BUT ALSO THE SUBSTANCE OF GOD THE FATHER Hebrews 1:3, WHO CAME FORTH FROM GOD, AS A SPIRIT BEFORE THE WORLD WAS, SLAIN LIKE A LAMB FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD Re.13:8 ETERNAL LIFE IN ALL CREATURES’ HEARTS. NOW READ HEREUNDER IN ORDER TO KNOW
WHO IS THE FATHER OF THE HUMAN RACE:
Hebrews 2:13 …..And again: BEHOLD I and MY CHILDREN, whom GOD HATH GIVEN ME. ( PRESENT PERFECT TENSE Gene, God the Father even before the world was HAS GIVEN JESUS HIS CHILDREN)
John20:17 ….But go to MY BRETHREN, and say to them:
I ASCEND TO ( THE STATE, AND GLORY OF) my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.
YOU: Berean , Satan wants you to believe Jesus is NOT PART OF THE HUMAN RACE.
Gene, Jesus is not just part of the human race, but
JESUS HIMSELF MADE THE HUMAN RACE ONE SUBSTANCE ALL AUTHENTIC IN HIM, EVENTUALLY SONS OF GOD, BY HIS RESURRECTION!
HE SIMPLY GAVE US
HIS DIVINE FLESH BODY ASSERTED BY JESUS IN HIS LAST SUPPER:
luke 22:19 ……This is my body, which IS GIVEN FOR YOU.
ALSO IN
1Peter 1:33Blessed be THE God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy HATH REGENERATED US unto a lively hope, by THE RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4Unto an INHERITANCE incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, RESERVED in heaven FOR YOU, 5Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation,
READY TO BE REVEALED in the last time.
well declared also in
1John3:2 Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be.
We know, that, when he shall appear, (in the last time.)
we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.

You said to Jodi and Gene: Maybe you are right that Jesus started His life as a human being.
Born of the Holy Spirit from Mary.All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That alone should tell you that Jesus, who had no sin, was not part of the “all men.” Jesus took on the sins of the whole world. If Jesus was just a man and not God’s firstborn over all creation, He would not be credited in several places as actively making all things in heaven and on earth. If Jesus did not have a pre-existence as the literal only son of God and with God his Father in the beginning, He would not be a fit mediator between man and God. He actually is credited as the only one who knows the Father except for those that He shows the Father to. If he were just a man, the Father wouldn’t call Him YHVH who founded the earth, etc. If He was just a man, he would be born with original sin and would have no redeemer who shed their blood for him, no one would. If he were just a man, he wouldn’t be qualified to be the unblemished passover lamb sent into the world. If he were just a man, he wouldn’t be prayed to. If he were just a man, he wouldn’t have existed before Abraham. If he were just a man, he wouldn’t be given all the glory, all the honor, and the dominion with the Father. If he were just a man, he wouldn’t be worshiped along with the Father. If he were just a man, he wouldn’t be called “YHVH our Righteousness.” YHVH is the Lord of lords, Jesus is the Lord of lords.
Is it too great a thing for God to have His very own begotten Son of His own essence? Don’t you think it strange that the early church wrote about the unbegotten God (the Father) and the begotten God (the Son) and worshiped them? You might read about what Ignatius wrote about Jesus and the early church fathers. You can read about what they taught here:
https://www.ccel.org/fathers.html
Why would we all need to be baptized in the name of a mere man?
So beautiful it is to see those giving the same honor to the Son as they do to the Father. They are ONE…God with God in the beginning before time began, John 1:1.

April 7, 2021 at 2:10 am#870108GeneBalthropParticipantDANNY …..Jesus had to be a human being , who was born into this world “exactly” the same way we are , and experience the “exact’ same temptations as we do , in order to qualify, by the help of God’s Holy Spirit which he received after he was baptized at the Jordan River, to not sin.
He was and had to be ‘exactly” like us in “every way” , not just in some ways , as false teachers here say, who are of the ‘many”, THAT GO IN THREAT THEREOF.
Danny, remember what Jesus “himself” said, “wide is the way that leads to destruction, and “MANY” there be that go in threat thereof, “NARROW” is the way that leads to eternal life and “FEW” there be who find it. And again the words of Jesus himself, “MANY” shall come in my name, saying I am the Christ, and “deceive” , “MANY”. And again, “MANY” shall come unto me and say, “lord in your, have we preached and done great things, what’s the answer ? , “depart from me you workers of iniquity, I know you not.
So the great “deception” will be about who Jesus “really” is. Those who preach Jesus is a GOD OF ANY KIND , are the false teachers they are the , “MANY”, THOSE who preach the truth know Jesus came into his “only” true existence he ever had when he was born on this earth “exactly” as we are, as a human being, and it doesn’t matter if God caused it to happen , it doesn’t change anything, he still is a 100% human being both then, now, and forever will be a human being, just as we are and will be forever human beings also. Jesus is the first born to eternal life from the grave of ” MANY” of his “BROTHERS AND SISTERS”.
Those who preach the true Jesus are one with not only him but, his God, and our God , his Father and our Farther. Danny don’t follow those false teachers, ask the Father for the Spirit of truth , ‘it’ will guide you, remember what we are told, “brethren you have no need of a teacher , the Spirit will guide you into “all” truth.
Peace and love to you and yours……….gene

If Jesus is only a human being, then Adam and Eve had NO TRUE MEDIATOR BETWEEN THEM AND GOD, BECAUSE AFTER THEIR FALL, HE COULD NO LONGER COMMUNICATE WITH GOD THE FATHER DIRECTLY …
THEIR SITUATION WAS LIKE OUR, THEY NEED A MEDIATOR TO BRING THEM BACK TO GOD. AND THE TRUTH IS THAT THIS MEDIATOR WAS THE DIVINE SON OF GOD, THE DIRECT SPEAKER OF GOD (THE WORD OF GOD) AND WHO IS ALSO CALLED IN GENESIS YHWH ELOHIM.April 7, 2021 at 5:22 am#870113Danny DabbsParticipantHi Lu and Berean,

Hi Danny
You:
“Hi Lu and Berean,

Me
In His humanity
he was in a position like ours:
Therefore in all things it suited him to be made like to his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest concerning God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
be made like …..
omoioV – homoios 3664; to assimilate, that is to say to compare; passively, to become similar: – to be (do) like, (in) to resemble (-ess), to resemble.
Before becoming like us (see also Romans 8: 3)
the Son of God renounced the independent use of his divine prerogatives (see Philippians 2: 7) which does not mean that he was no longer of divine essence.To be continued…
God bless

YOU: Hi Lu and Berean,

Danny there ‘s an enormous difference between the word “LIKE” and the word “AUTHENTIC”
JESUS WAS IN ALL THINGS “LIKE” HIS BRETHREN!
NOW JESUS, BY HIS RESURRECTION, MADE THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE
ALL AUTHENTIC BROTHERS IN HIM,
ALL SONS OF GOD, TO BE CLEAR:
THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE BECAME
ALL AUTHENTIC
CHRISTS! GODS!
THE STATE OF THE ENTIRE CREATURES IN THE KINGDOM OF THE SON!

SUGGESTS THAT SOMEHOW WE SHALL BE LIKE
HIM but not

NOW
WHO IS HIM?

April 7, 2021 at 10:36 am#870120LightenupParticipantHi Danny,
You asked: Can we honestly say that a God/Man was like one of us in every way? Hebrews 2:17
Yes we can honestly say that a the One who was equal to God, laid down His majestic splendor and became man like us in every way that allowed Him to suffer and be tempted and die. That is what the context says in Hebrews 2. Read it here:
5For He did not subject to angels the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But someone has testified somewhere, saying,
“WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU THINK OF HIM?
OR A SON OF MAN, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM?
7“YOU HAVE MADE HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE LOWER THAN ANGELS;
YOU HAVE CROWNED HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOR;
8YOU HAVE PUT EVERYTHING IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.”
For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.
9But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of His suffering death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.10For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the originator of their salvation through sufferings. 11For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, 12saying,
“I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BROTHERS,
IN THE MIDST OF THE ASSEMBLY I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE.” 13And again,
“I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM.”
And again,
“BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME.”
14Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, so that through death He might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15and free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16For clearly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendants of Abraham. 17Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brothers 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. 18For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
I hope that helps, LU
