    Jammin,

    I am aware that trinitarians will often translate and interpret the same words applied to Jesus differently than when applied to Jesus.  You have to already believe Jesus is God or be gullible to accept such explanations.

    You have failed to prove Jesus is all powerful.


    Case in point:

    it does not say that in eph 3.19 boy

    let me post it

    Ephesians 3:19

    1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

    19 And to know the [a]love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all [c]fullness of God.

    footnote
    Ephesians 3:19 So that we have abundantly in us, whatsoever things are required to make us perfect with God.

    eph 3.19 did not say that WE WILL HAVE THE NATURE OF GOD (omnipresence,omnipotent,omniscient etc). this verse speaks about the whatsoever things are required to MAKE US PERFECT WITH GOD!

    some version says

    Ephesians 3:19

    New Living Translation (NLT)

    19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.


    Had these same words been said about JESUS, and not about disciples – the Trinitarians would have been all over it as a “Jesus is God proof text”! :)

    But since it is said about US, and not about JESUS, they seem to be able to understand that “having the fullness of God” does NOT mean that person IS God.

    If the same words were said about Jesus, they would naturally change their minds, and say those words were proof that Jesus IS God. You wouldn't ever see that NLT version if the words were said about JESUS……. would you? :D

    I have already quoted it to you before.  Why would you believe what is written any more this time than before.              

    Kerwin,

    YOU SHOULD NOT JUST QUOTE!

    BUT PRESENT SCRIPTURES, DEFINE IT WITH RESPECT TO THE GREEK/JEWISH MESSAGE  AS MUCH AS YOU COULD BE AWARE OF, TO GIVE PROOF THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS THE TRUTH ACCORDINGLY,

    WITH THE HOPE THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE SAME GENERAL WORK TO CONTRADICT YOU IN ORDER TO ALSO PROVE THAT I AM SAYING THE TRUTH!

    IN THAT MANNER IF BOTH OF US AS TRUE CHRISTIANS ARE GENUINELY FREE FROM ANY EVIL CARNAL INFLUENCES, AND FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SOURCE OF OUR BELIEF,THE ONLY LIFE, AND THE ONLY WAY,  IN ORDER TO REACH THE ONLY GOD AND FATHER, SINCE ALL IN HIM, ALL BY HIM, AND ALL FOR HIM! WE DEFINITELY REACH THAT AIM!

    BUT, IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING, SOMETHING WHICH YOU YOURSELF MADE ME TO DETERMINE SO, DUE TO THE FACT THAT, FOR A REASON THAT ONLY YOU KNOW,YOU SIMPLY  WERE  NOT READY TO FACE IT!

    I ONLY BELIEVE WHAT IT IS CLEARLY PROVEN THAT IT IS THE TRUTH, OR AS CLOSEST TO THE TRUTH!

    WHICH WILL BE POSTED AFTER THIS ONE

    Peace and love in Jesus

    Why, Wakeup? Is it important for some reason?

    If so, then you tell me the name of the first being God ever created. You don't believe it was Jesus, so tell me who it was. What was his name? And why is knowing that name important to our salvation?

    The Jews are follow strict monotheism and not trinitarianism in any of its forms. If you go by the teaching of the Jews then Jesus Christ is a human being who has been given authority over all things in heaven and on earth but is still subject to God.

    There is no real evidence that the Jews of the First Century were any different in this belief than those today. When Jesus says I am going to my Father and my God it goes with the strict monotheism viewpoint as when Scripture calls believers his brothers.

    I can quote the relevant passage but frankly you should know them by now.

    Mike,

    Kerwin,

    You would have made a much better point by posting the Trinitarian commentators' NOTES about that scripture.  :)

    For example, Gill says Colossians 1:19 means:

    ………all the perfections of God are in Christ, as eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability, independence, and necessary existence, and every other, or he would not be equal with God; nor could all the fulness of the Godhead be said to dwell in him………..

    But about Ephesians 3:19, Gill says:

    That ye might be filled with all the fulness of God;

    this is to be understood, not of a full comprehension of the divine Being, nor of a communication of his divine perfections, nor of having in them the fulness of grace, which it has pleased God should dwell in Christ…………

    but that fulness of good things, which they may receive from God in this life; as to be filled with a sense of the love and grace of God; with satisfying views of interest in the righteousness of Christ; with the Spirit, and the gifts and graces thereof………….

    If the words are said about Christ, they mean he IS God Almighty.  But if those same words are said about us, it means we are to “be filled with a sense of the love and grace OF God”.  :D

    Those Trinitarian scholars really have a sense of humor, huh?  :)

    Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities, and by the iniquity of thy traffic: therefore

    I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, (THE CENTRE OF PLANET EARTH, ALL MATTER) to devour thee, and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth ( ERUPTIONS OF VOLCANOES) in the sight of all that see thee.

    DID YOU EVER SEE LAVA, THAT IS OUR SUBSTANCE

    Kerwin,

    HEREUNDER IS THE SCRIPTURE YOU POSTED

    Quote
    John 20:17
    Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

    17 Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

    NOW:

    I am not bothered in the word ascend as such, since you are aware that it could be used figuratively as I AM SURE OF  in this case!

    But IT IS the preposition “to”  “PROS” I AM INTERESTED IN, which determined the proper definition of the phrase!

    Hereunder is the Greek text  analysis

    4314 [e] pros      

    Strong's Concordance

    pros: advantageous for, at (denotes local proximity), toward (denotes motion toward a place)
    Original Word: πρός
    Part of Speech: Preposition
    Transliteration: pros
    Phonetic Spelling: (pros)
    Short Definition: to, towards, with
    Definition: to, towards, with.

    HELPS Word-studies

    4314 prós (a preposition) – properly, motion towards to “interface with” (literally, moving toward a goal or destination).

    4314 /prós (“towards, with”) indicates “extension toward a goal, with implied interaction or reciprocity (L & N, 1, 84.18), with “presumed contact and reaction” (L & N, 1, 84.23). 4314 (prós) naturally suggests the cycle of initiation and response (L-N, 1,90.25, 90.33).

    [4314 (prós) can mean “in view of,” or “in light of, but never “against,” except where the context indicates an active exchange (interface) done in opposition.

    As you can read the text DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PREPOSITION “UNTO”

    AND WHEN YOU READ THE GREEK TEXT ANALYSIS OF THAT PARAGRAPH ONLY PROS IS USED IN THE THREE CASES WHICH IS USED!

    ARE YOU IN A POSITION TO DETERMINE WHICH IS THE PROPER VERSION IN RELATION TO WHAT I PIN POINTED OUT?

    NOT YOU OPINION PLEASE SCRIPTURES

    Peace and love in Jesus

    RIGHT NOW JESUS IS GOD HIMSELF AS A FLESH AND SPIRIT BEING

    THE WORD

    THE WORD MADE FLESH

    AND

    THE WORD GLORIFIED AS:

    THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST

    THE FACT THAT HE IS THE SOLE RULER OF ALL GOD'S CREATION, AND POSSESSES ETERNALLY THROUGH INHERITANCE ,ALL GOD'S ATTRIBUTES!

    AND GOD ALMIGHTY IS RIGHT NOW MAKING JESUS' ENEMIES HIS FOOTSTOOL!

    SO HE IS NOT SUBJECT TO GOD ALMIGHTY, BUT GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF IN FULL GLORY OF BOTH FLESH AND SPIRIT

    GOD ALMIGHTY IS STILL SPIRIT AS HE ALWAYS WAS, AND REMAIN SO!

    I can see it used figuratively but do not see it used figuratively in the spiritual sense as Jesus was already in heaven with his God and our God figuratively.

    I can see it used literally and see no reason to use it otherwise as Jesus would ascend in 40 days.

    God did not sacrificed Himself.
    He gave his Son to the world;not Himself.

    Jesus is not God:but the Word of God;and he was made flesh. Our God was never killed by jews.
    He holds the universe together in harmony.
    There would be chaos if he died for three days.

    If not; then He did not truly die.
    It would be a fake death.

    Jesus was the Word of God made flesh.
    He is not flesh anymore;and is in heaven,
    next to His God,and Father.

    Unto is fairly useless word that replace to in all but the case when to is an accompaniment of the infinitive or as a placement of until.

    The lexicon one of its synonyms which is to.

    I have no idea what you personal teaching of the trinity is but I do not Jesus was tempted even as we are and God cannot be tempted by sin. So if you believe Jesus was God during his mortal life then you do not believe he was tempted by evil as we are. That opposes what is written. If you do not then what do you believe and what passages do you use to support your belief?

    In cases like that, we must decide if it should be translated as, was existing in the form of God”, or, “was existing in the form of a god”.

    Now that I've just noticed this, I'm leaning towards “a god”, since it make a better contrast to “form of a servant”.

    Mike,

    I APPRECIATE  YOUR INTEREST REGARDING THIS MATTER, AND I WONDERED WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU ACTED AS SUCH!

    IT'S CLEAR  TO ME THAT YOU ARE CAUGHT ON THE WRONG FOOT!

    SCRIPTURE  IS CLEAR THAT JESUS WAS THE SON OF GOD,

    NOT THE SON OF A GOD!

    NO MIKE KEEP YOUR TWISTED ARGUMENTS AND YOUR MISGUIDING DEFINITION FOR YOURSELF!

    I AM CONVINCED THAT JESUS WAS ALWAYS  A DIVINE BEING, EVEN IN HIS TOMB!

    Hebrews 1:But to the Son:YOUR 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, YOUR GOD, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

    10And: YOU IN THE BEGINNING, O LORD DID FOUND THE EARTH: AND THE WORKS OF YOU HANDS ARE THE HEAVENS

    11They shall perish, BUT YOU SHALL CONTINUE:EVEN IN THE TOMB!

    and they shall all grow old as a garment.

    12And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:BUT YOU ARE THE SELFSAME,AND YOUR YEARS SHALL NOT FAIL

    DIVINE!

    Peace and love in Jesus

    BIBLE VERSIONS AND COMMENTARIES AGREE TO ME.


    Of course they agree with you……. since those commentaries were written by Trinitarians!  :D

    But consider:

    Revelation 21:22
    I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

    In the above verse, is Jesus “the Lamb”?  Or is he “the Lord God Almighty”?

    So it doesn't matter that a Trinitarian commentator WANTS Jesus to be “the Lord God Almighty” in 1:8 – because other scriptures make it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that Jesus is NOT “Almighty”.

    Hebrews 10
    12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.

    First of all, “God” is the one Jesus sits at the right hand OF, jammin.  And it is not “God” who sits at the right hand of “God”………… unless you believe there are TWO Gods.

    Secondly, nobody who is “Almighty” sits and waits for SOMEONE ELSE to place his enemies at his feet, so he can then destroy those enemies.

    So once again, it doesn't matter one little bit how many Trinitarians want to take verses in the Bible that are about Jehovah, and apply those verses to Jesus……. because there are enough ABUNDANTLY CLEAR scriptures in the Bible to let even a 3 year old kid know that Jesus is NOT the God he is the Son, Servant, Lamb, Prophet, Priest, and Messiah OF.

    The very thought that there are “so-called intelligent” people out there who believe that the Son, Servant, Lamb, Prophet, Priest, and Messiah  OF God could actually BE the God he is all those things OF – really baffles me.  

    But these people do exist, nonetheless.  The question is:  Why would anyone in their right mind believe the nonsensical things these confused people have to say?


    i do not believe there are two Gods. i believe there are three persons but one in nature, God.

    you and your father are two persons but ONE NATURE, HUMAN.

    that is the basic explanation for your question and do not make things complicated.

    also, are we talking about the rev 21.22,heb 10.12 or rev 1.8?

    rev 1.8 talks about christ and if you see the verse 7, Christ is the one who is coming and not the father. read the context and do not just make fantasies hahaha
