December 23, 2010 at 12:32 am#231315mikeboll64BlockedQuote (SimplyForgiven @ Dec. 22 2010,19:03) I dont believe so. but than again i can ask you the same question, was Jesus lying in what he told philip?
he asked, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
or should we omit that?
Hi D,Absolutely not! We shouldn't omit it, but understand what was meant by it.
John 14:9 NIV
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?Is Jesus saying that he actually IS the Father here? Or is he saying, “I do what the Father taught me to do, I speak what the Father taught me to say, I act exactly like my Father would act in the same situation, because everything I know I learned from Him, so seeing me is JUST LIKE seeing the Father”? Jesus explains it more understandably here:
John 12 NIV
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.He's saying that if you believe in me, you also believe in the Father. If your hear my words, you are also hearing the Father. If you see the way I act, you are also seeing the way the Father would act. He doesn't mean it to be taken as if Phillip is LITERALLY laying eyes on the Father Jehovah, whom no man has ever seen according to Jesus.
You say Jesus IS the Father. So, he must have always been the Father – at least the whole time on earth, right? So what does Jesus mean by this:
John 14:7 NIV
If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”What does “from now on” mean? Did Jesus just then “turn into the Father” at that moment?
John 5:37 NIV
And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,D, those people had seen Jesus' form and heard his voice. So how could Jesus BE the Father and still say the above?
So that brings us back to MY question. If Jesus WASN'T lying, and he couldn't “GO TO THE FATHER” if he already WAS THE FATHER, then how do you explain it?

Your just adding to scripture here.
This is not what he told Philip.
Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?
Lets focus on this sentence alone. What is Jesus claiming in this sentence alone? Jesus is making a claim in a form of a question and implying that Philip does not know who “Jesus is” even though he has spent alot of time with Philip.Context clearly shows that Philip asked for the Father.
Quote What does “from now on” mean? Did Jesus just then “turn into the Father” at that moment?
“From now on” is in reference to those who NOW know Jesus, not that they always did. Again know one could get close to the father but only through Jesus they can.
As Jesus said “if you really know me” question is, does a person really know who Jesus is? and if they do, than they know the Father as well.Quote John 5:37 NIV
And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,D, those people had seen Jesus' form and heard his voice. So how could Jesus BE the Father and still say the above?
Didnt God speak when Jesus was baptized, and was the witness of him?
So who is Jesus speaking to?
Jesus was talking to the Pharasis who didnt believe, to they werent believing. the context of this scripture shows the lesson that Jesus was trying to teach, that they were full of it, and they search the scriptures as if there is eternal life in them, when in reality its in Himself, since they speak of HIM.Jesus spoke of witnesses in this chapter, from John to God, and even to the scriptures that testify about Him.
Many claim to know Jesus, but it doenst mean that they REALLY know him.
How did peter find out who Jesus really was, by revelation!
Quote So that brings us back to MY question. If Jesus WASN'T lying, and he couldn't “GO TO THE FATHER” if he already WAS THE FATHER, then how do you explain it?
Totality, the same way when he was in the mount of transfiguration and showed His true glory.
He was talking about a timeline, when he would die, and not being here physically here on earth.December 23, 2010 at 3:49 am#231319Ed JParticipantQuote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 23 2010,10:32) Hi D, John 14:9 NIV

MikeWell it is kind of like you not jumping in a debate I am having with Kathi about the “Holy Spirit” being the inner Spirit of the Father. You do not believe that, (or do you?) yet you do not believe the Holy Spirit is a person, neither does Kathi.
The important thing to me is Dennison believes and sees Jesus is God, like the Father. I disagree with “Modalism” though the end result is Jesus is God.
Jesus is the “image of the invisible God” or 'the visible image of the invisible God”. To percieve Jesus the “Image of the invisible God” as less than God is to have a “false image” of God and to me that is “Idolatry”.
Anti-Jesus is God people have made or created a Jesus that is not the “image of the invisible God”. Therefore they serve a false Jesus.

I have found that Trinity believers can understand the Trinity in different ways.
For example my Mother calls herself a Trinitarian and is a Catholic. However she explains the Trinity differently.
She say's that… (I hope I get this right)… God is the mind… Jesus is the flesh… and the Holy Spirit is the spirit. All three parts of God. And that God made Man in his image which is this Trinity of mind, spirit and flesh. Something like that. It seem's more oneness belief to me though.

KathiBut once again, the early Fathers in order to fully head off the “Arian” heresy, adopted the “Athanasian Creed”, so you are wrong in saying that the early Fathers do not agree with him because all the creeds came about in the 3rd century.
The final blow was the Athanasian creed and to this day is the creed that the Fathers held to and so do most Protestants.
WJ
December 24, 2010 at 1:32 am#231325LightenupParticipantKeith,
Even the Athanasian Creed is not saying what Francis is saying.
Excerpt from the creed:
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right faith is, that we believe and confess, that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man; God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; and man of the substance of his mother, born in the world; perfect God and perfect man, of a rational soul and human flesh subsisting.http://www.kencollins.com/why-09.htm
The early church father's DO NOT agree with him, read their writings. They say that He was begotten before the ages…how quickly you forget.
Anyway, how do you know that the early church father's would have gone along with the Athanasian Creed? Have you been talking to the deceased?
They were long gone before the creed was even written, even Athanasias was gone before the creed was written.December 24, 2010 at 1:36 am#231326LightenupParticipantQuote (shimmer @ Dec. 23 2010,16:14) Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 24 2010,09:01) Quote (shimmer @ Dec. 23 2010,05:49) Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Dec. 21 2010,06:52) Hi all I must say that in all the time I have been here I have not seen anyone with the knowledge, and the gracefulness in presenting that knowledge as I see Francis has done in this debate.
