ISAIAH 6:9-10 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

JOHN 10:30-33 I and {my} Father are one. (31) Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. (32) Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? (33) The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

JOHN 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew {it} unto you.

ISAIAH 6:1-5 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. (2) Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. (3) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, {is} the Lord of hosts: the whole earth {is} full of his glory. (4) And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. (5) Then said I, Woe {is} me! for I am undone; because I {am} a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.<<<

REVELATION 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; these things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Arche (“Beginning”) The Greek for “beginning” is arche, from which we get our word “architect.” Its literal meaning, according to Greek scholars, is “origin, active cause, source, uncreated principle.” So the above verse is describing Jesus as the “architect,” or Creator of the Universe. In Rev 21:6 “arche” is applied to the Father, so it can't possibly mean “created being,” as Jehovah's Witnesses and other heretics maintain.

Mat 26:65  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy;

(The high priest understood Jesus’ claim to be God and wrongly accused Him of blasphemy.)

Joh 12:36  While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Joh 12:37  But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
Joh 12:38  That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Joh 12:39  Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
Joh 12:40  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Joh 12:41  These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

Compare
Psa 7:8  The LORD (Jehovah) shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Psa 7:9  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

1Ki 8:39  Then hear thou (Jehovah)  in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

With
Rev 2:23  And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I (Jesus) am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Mat 23:24  Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Without reading any of Cult Busters comments (other than the last line), I can quite confidently say based on everything else he's said, that whatever he is saying here is most likely wrong. I have no idea how he can even utter words with that camel tale hanging out of his mouth.

(I'm sorry if these words seem bitter, but he has no ability to communicate, but can only repeat over and over and over again the same thing, which quite often, proves or even says, nothing. It's just frustrating.)

David, about 98% of what CB wrote in his post was quoted straight from the Bible. Just out of curiosity, I actually did a quick calculation on the percentage of words considered personal commentary in the post (5222 words total, approx. 107 words of personal commentary:- 107/5222 * 100/1 = 2.05%).

He quotes scripture and you write “I can quite confidently say based on everything else he's said, that whatever he is saying here is most likely wrong”…..It appears you have a problem with scripture David.

CB's modus operandi is basically to let scripture do the talking for him, and he generally stays out of the contentious arguments. I think it's commendable approach…..

Kodos CB. I admire your approach.

Jesus God in flesh. Sure! He was filled up beyond measure with the Holy Spirit. His flesh just being an earth suit

Heb 1:8 but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Jesus God and HIS GOD. Same Spirit!

IHL,

Ken

Hi kenrch,
He was made flesh.
The revelation of God through him was because of the anointing with the Spirit of God to the fullness of deity.
He was never our God.

JESUS IS JEHOVAH AND EQUAL WITH GOD

Think about what you said Cult buster.

If Jesus is equal with God, then he cannot be God.

Hi kenrch, He was made flesh. The revelation of God through him was because of the anointing with the Spirit of God to the fullness of deity. He was never our God.

Heb 1:8  but of the Son he saith, *Thy throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever*; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9  Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; *Therefore GOD*, thy GOD, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

1Co 15:25  For “he must reign”, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26  *The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death*.

1Co 15:28  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

The Father is God of Jesus who is appointed God and “must reign”.  UNTIL the last enemy is defeated. THEN The Son Himself will be subject to the Father that GOD will be all in all.

Col 1:13  who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into *the KINGDOM OF THE SON* of his love;

Col 1:14  in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
Col 1:15  who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Col 1:16  for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;
Col 1:17  and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 1:19  For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell;

Jesus is so full of the Spirit of God he couldn't be more God UNLESS He were the Father.  BUT HE is NOT Jehovah. And He said that the Father is greater than He.

Joh 14:28  Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

Kenrch. Kindly comment on the following.

         Jesus (Jehovah) The Alpha & The Omega (The First & The Last).

“Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him will see Him, and all the kindreds of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
(Rev 1:7-8)

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending,
the First and the Last.”

 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you over the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star.”
(Rev 22:13 & 16)

The Book of Revelation, which is the Testimony of Jesus Christ, identifies Jesus as the The Alpha & The Omega (The First & The Last). It further identifies Him as The Almighty. Further testimony by Jesus, showing that the title, The First & The Last belongs to Him is found in:

” And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me, Do not fear, I am the First and the Last, and the Living One, and I became dead, and behold, I am alive for ever and ever, Amen. And I have the keys of hell and of death.”
(Rev 1:17-18)

“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: The First and the Last, who became dead and lived, says these things:”
(Rev 2:8)

It is Jesus Christ, Himself, who became dead and lived, who reveals that He is the First & the Last of Holy Scripture.

Since the Bible is one continual work stretching from Genesis to Revelation, it is clear that this title belongs to Jesus, and no other. There can only be One who is the First and one who is the Last .
 

We also find the following statements concerning the First & the Last in the Holy Bible:

– – “Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, am the first and the last; I am He.”
(Isa 41:4)

“So says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and His redeemer Jehovah of Hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides Me there is no God.”
(Isa 44:6)

“Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He; I am the first, I also am the last. My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together.”
(Isa 48:12-13)
 

Isaiah, inspired by God, calls the First & the Last, Jehovah, Jehovah of Hosts, the Redeemer, and God (meaning the God of Israel). This further biblical evidence provide overwhelming Testimony from Holy Scripture that Jesus (Jehovah) is indeed God Almighty & Eternal.

  Here is overwhelming evidence from the Holy Bible that Jesus Christ The Almighty God is the eternal Jehovah, The Alpha & The Omega, The First & The Last, The Beginning and the Ending.      

[Cult Buster]

Kenrch.

I understand that you teach others to observe the ten commandment law. I find that commendable.

However because some of your doctrine are of Arian origin, this puts you in conflict with the Sabbath observance commandment.

Before you can fully keep holy the Sabbath Day, it helps to understand who the God of the Sabbath Day is.

See the following.

                         

 Jesus the Lord Thy God

Exo 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:

Mar 2:28  the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

This proves beyond doubt that the Lord of the Sabbath (Jesus) is the LORD thy God.

Just in case you missed it!

Luke 4:2  (Jesus)  Being forty days tempted of the devil.

Luke 4:12  And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Who was being tempted here? Jesus;    The Lord thy God.

Jer 23:5-6  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch (Jesus), and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD (Yhovah)OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Absolutely incorrect my incorrect friend. Here is in fact what he does.

Let me demonstrate:

Scripture,
Scripture,
Scripture,
Scripture,
Scripture
False conclusion not connected to anything

Silence,
no discussion

Yes, Is 1:18, you can do your math, and as you can see, there is a lot of scriptures, but your incorrect thinking is about as true as CB's ability to converse. It isn't there.

Sorry, but you have proved nothing.

CB is completley without the ability to reason or communicate. Yes, he can put millions of scriptures down and he can do this millions of times. And then at the end he can say something that in no way fits with those scirptures and then he can be silent or repost them.

Again, this isn't right.

Perhaps dear Is 1:18, that is the problem. He has no ability to explain or connect why those strings of scriptures in any ways support his last few words, which are in every way unrelated to those scriptures. This of course applies only to the vast majority and I'm sure you can find one or two places where cohesive thoughts are somehow connected to scripture. But I assure you it is merely coincidence. Mathematically, you have to get one or two hits even if you're not trying.

david.

Ps, Is 1:18, do you actually support or approve of CB's methods? Or his purpose? When you find that he doesn't agree with your religion, you will see the complete lack of connectivity in his posts and it will frustrate you to insanity as he reposts them and reposts them and then when you ask him about them, reposts the same post again.

[Is 1:18]

David, let me put it this way.

I have the utmost respect for someone who can simply quote scriptures with minimal input of personal commentary, where the conveyed message is obvious, and invoke a response like yours…..

That's class.

Check your dictionary. Class is not when you ignore people's responses to your questions. Class is not when you attack someones beliefs and then when they call you on it, you ignore them and repost the same ideas, only to ignore again. I have asked, more like begged him to converse with me on that subject and he is too busy, he says. Yet, he loves to post his scriptures with a tag line on the end.

If I were to start doing the same, I would feel, not classy, but bad, dishonest, wrong.

You have no idea what class is my masked friend.

So do I. But this in no way applies to CB. That's my entire point. His message isn't obvious, yet at the end, as I've said a few times now, at the end, he tags on a line (that last 2%) which says something like: “See, overwhelming evidence…”
While “his” message may be obvious, the scriptures he quotes in no way supports his obvious conclusion. Hence, my mind numbing frustration.

[NickHassan]

Hi david,
CB is a very insecure frightened man on the evidence he shows here. He is frightened to expose his knowledge to scrutiny because he believes salvation depends on accepting the human doctrine of trinity.
