Quote (Tim2 @ May 02 2007,16:40)Hi 94,Sorry, I wasn't trying to evade.  I read those points but forgot about them while responding.My spirit is not a different person than me.  But grammar tells me that the Spirit is a person, for in John 14:16 the Spirit is called the Parakletos, which by definition is a person, a Comforter, as opposed to p…[Read more]

Hi Tim2:Also, you did not say what “above all” means to you in Ephesians 4:6.God Bless

Hi WJ:You ask:Is 45:18For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; *God himself that formed the earth and made it*; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: *I am the LORD; and there is none else*.Do you see in the above verse any room for any one else involved in the creation other than YHWH?And my…[Read more]

Hi All:God is a God of love but he also a God of justice.  In the Old Testament what you are describing is Judgment against God's enemies.  Parents are responsible for the Children and what they teach them.  Although killing their children might appear to be brutal, it is the fault of the parents that this has happened.  Let me also say that phy…[Read more]

Quote (Tim2 @ May 01 2007,15:45)Hi 94,Thanks for allowing me to take part in your discussion.   I do not believe there are any Scriptures that say God is eternally greater than Jesus.  I know of one that says the Father was greater than Jesus before the cross, but at the time Jesus was even lower than the angels, so I don't believe it to be an e…[Read more]

Hi WJ:You say:One God the Lord, “by himself” made the heavens and the earth, there is “no one else beside him”.I agree with this one 100%.God Bless

Quote (Tim2 @ May 01 2007,10:22)94, You know the response.  Jesus is man as well as God.  He is the Son of Man, who be Scriptural prophecy had to receive dominion.  Daniel 7.  The Word became this Son of Man and received this authority, as the Son of Man, just as the Scriptures said it had to happen.  Can we please get past the constant need to r…[Read more]

Hi WJ:You say:Truly this Jesus is one God with the Father and the Holy Spirit!This is your conclusion from your interpretation of the scriptures.  And so, do you agree with CB that there are three dieties?And you say:If the Father gave him “All” power and authority.Then how much does the Father have?Of course the answer is the Father still has…[Read more]

Quote (Oxy @ April 29 2007,17:11)I hear what you are saying 94 and welcome your blessings.In order to be born again, what does one do?  He repents and receives Christ as Lord and saviour.  Who did Christ receive?  Himself?   No, I think rather He was born as the Son of God without need for repentence or spiritual birth, although He did receive the…[Read more]

Quote (Cult Buster @ April 27 2007,23:47)942767Quote I agree with Krench.  Jesus was in the “form of God”.  This scripture does not state that He was God and neither does it say that he was equal to God. 94.
