Quote Colossians 2:9For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily formThe problem here is “theos” and “theotes” are two different Greek words and denote entirely different things.Theotes is used in Colossians 2:9 as actually an abstract noun for ‘theos’. It does not designate that Jesus was filled with the Father Himself. Paul would hav…[Read more]

Quote (Cult Buster @ April 17 2007,00:30)942767.You're getting very muddled. First you tell me that it was the Father being tempted, then you post the following.Quote It was not God who was being tempted to sin in the scripture Luke 4:9-12 but Jesus the man, the Son of God and God's Christ.Get real!Hi CB:Luke 4:9-12 states: “And he (the devil)…[Read more]

Quote (Tim2 @ April 14 2007,09:57)94,I know of no such requirement for correct doctrine.TimHi Tim2:What in your opinion makes your doctrine Orthodox?God confirmed what Jesus taught with miracles and signs and he also confirmed what the Apostles taught.  For certain, he will not confirm a lie.Jesus stated: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that…[Read more]

Quote Cult Buster ——————————————————————————–942767. Christ though being Jehovah became incarnate as a man and was therefore tempted as a man.

Hi CB:Relative to the reply by Jesus to the devil when the devil wanted him to jump off of the temple: “It is said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God”, I have copied and will paste the definition of the word tempt in this scripture, perhaps this will answer your question, “If God cannot be tempted with evil, why was Jesus making that…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 13 2007,16:15)Hi 94, Christ in James teaches that we have to begin the process by giving in to lawless lusts so that sin\demons are conceived in us.

Quote (Tim2 @ April 14 2007,06:11)Adam,That might make sense if Jesus were only a man.  But no one on this forum believes that.  Do you?TimHi Tim2:I know that your question is directed to Adam Pastor, but of course, Jesus is only a man.  It is his spirit that was formed through obedience to the Word of God that is God.  God made man in his own ima…[Read more]

Hi Nick:I promised to give my understanding of this subject after I sought God in prayer and so I will attempt to do this although some things relative to the subject are difficult to understand.Simply stated, a demon is an evil spirit, and to be demon possessed is to be controlled by that spirit or spirits.In the scriptures Jesus was accused of…[Read more]

Quote (Tim2 @ April 11 2007,13:36)Hi 94,You believe that for Jesus to be the express image of God's person means that Jesus is God?  And you also believe that Jesus is a man? This is good TimYes Tim2, it is good.  There is scripture to support this but not to support the “trinity”.  When we have seen Jesus through the life that he lived while he…[Read more]

Quote (Cult Buster @ April 10 2007,17:51)Hi 942767,It seems very clear to me that in Luke 4:9, Jesus was being tempted by Satan to jump. Likewise He was tempted to command the stone into bread and to worship Satan.Why should Satan tempt the Father or the Holy Spirit. He was there to try to tempt the incarnate Christ to commit sin.If Jesus had…[Read more]

Quote (heaven @ Sep. 14 2005,20:07)There use to be, but it was abused by some people so it was turned off. Some people decided to edit their posts to their advantage once they realised they weren't doing do well in the context of the conversation. This wasted the time of those who spent their time answering a post that was later edited. This also…[Read more]

Quote (Tim2 @ April 10 2007,14:40)WhoHi 94,You bring up a good point that “you shall not tempt the Lord thy God.”  It seems some people here have been saying Jesus can't be God because He was tempted.  But the greek looks the same in 4:12 and 4:13, and 1 Corinthians 10:13.  Different though from stumble in Luke 17:1.  In any event, Jesus says it…[Read more]
