Hi Wakeup:Who said that Jesus was only God's spokesman?  He is that.  But this is what God our Father revealed to humanity, saying:  Quote Mat 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

Hi Mike:So, He is Elohim, the God of gods, and the LORD of Lords, and we have shown that although people of the nations worshiped different things or persons as gods, that they were not gods at all, and so, they are “so called gods”, and so, He is the God of these “so called gods” that have no power at all.But yes, let's use the definition…[Read more]
