Hi Jael:
I know that He is “a living being” because He is “my Father”, and I communicate with Him every day.
Love in Christ,

Hi Jael:
The scriptures state that we are made in the image of God, and Hebrews 1 states that “he(Jesus) is the “express image of his person”. God is not a man, but I do believe that he is a person, in that he is a rational being. He has a mind, a will, and emotions. But no, “He is not a Tri-Une being.”
Love in Christ,

Hi AndrewAD:
Dear Marty,
The Bible says that people saw God and also that people can’t see God so don’t be intimidated by those who choose only one side.I know you see what St Jn 12 actually says
(There are several occasions where people in the OT say that they saw God because God spoke through different appearances, but they did not act…[Read more]

Hi Nick:
This is a VISION.
Isaiah 6
“… I saw the Lord sitting on a throne ,lofty and exalted..”
The Lord in the OT is the Lord God.
(So, then did I Isaiah see God?)
I know what Isaiah said. He said that he had seen God. Jacob also said he had seen God face to face.
I know that Jesus did not pre-exist in some form before his birth into th…[Read more]

Hi Gene:
No, I am not saying that scripture contradicts itself, for that is impossible. I am just trying to understand the scripture. Isaiah said he had seen the “Lord of Hosts”, and Nick said that “Lord of Hosts” means “God”. And so, what did he see? He saw a vision perhaps of the Lord Jesus in his future glorified state.
If you have und…[Read more]

Hi Nick:
And then there is the following scripture that is speaking of Jesus:
John 12:
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

Hi Nick:
We who are born again disciples of our Lord Jesus have seen God through the life of our Lord Jesus (John 14). According to the scriptures, God is invisible.
But Isaiah said that he saw God, and there are others it the OT who say that they saw God.
Isaiah 6:
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean l…[Read more]

Hi Nick:
Hi 94,
The term
Lord of Hosts
always refers to the Father
(And so, then how are we understand the following scriptures in relation to him having seen the Father?)

Kerwin, the video is a YouTube video and does have sound, and so, I am not sure what you mean?

Hi t8:
You did not answer my question. You say that Jesus got back the glory that he had in the presence with the Father before the world began. And so, how was he glorified when he finished his ministry on the earth? Also, he said,
John 17:
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:…[Read more]

You say:
What did he empty himself of? Yes his life and his privilege.
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
He got it back.

Hi hoghead1:
I have just uploaded a youtube video relative to Phil 2:1-11 if you are interested. I believe that Jesus was in the form of God as God’s Christ in his ministry here on earth. For example, he had the power to forgive sins, and also, he stated in John 14 “he who hath seen me has seen the Father”. The Apostle Paul was teaching the Ph…[Read more]

Christ means more than just that. He means he is eternal, God, the beginning of all creation and the ultimate effect of creation. As we read in Jn. 5:8,”Most assuredly, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am.”

Hi hogead1:
To be sure, Jesus does refer to himself as the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, because he is the first begotten from the dead, and the last in that he is alive forever more:
