Also, I hope you all don't mind that I cite many of the scriptures in this thread contributed by Nick, Trettep, myself, stroshow and others on CF to demonstrate that YHWH/GOD/FATHER is the primary giver of the Holy Spirit. (Jesus is well able to give us the holy spirit too but since I believe that he is begotten of the Father, it stands to reason…[Read more]

Thanks, Trettep, for posting the said article here. It really helps illuminate that the Spirit is the Father's.

Yea, Nick.Pretty straightforward narrative and consistent with the rest of scripture. Exd 28:3 And thou shalt speak unto all wise hearted, whom I HAVE FILLED with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister UNTO ME in the priest's office.Exd 31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God,…[Read more]

Dear Stroshow and fellow Trinitarians:Here's another one for you on who is the giver of the Holy Spirit. Please note that the Father is specifically named:Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your *understanding being…[Read more]

Neat stuff, t8. Thanks for sharing it. I have heard that prime numbers are on the forefront of breaking insights into God's creation around us. A search on prime numbers is liable to yield some interesting results. There are computers working around the world around the clock to discover the next prime. I don't understand it but it is…[Read more]

Quote (bic @ May 08 2005,07:26)I have more questions than answers, so someone else begin, please.How about this for starters, bic.God is one.

Thank you, Nick. Making the simple complicated reminds me of this scripture:Deut 30:11 “For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 13 Nor is it beyond the sea,…[Read more]

Yes, Nick. It is a an exquisite privilege we have to praise the holy ones. It helps the heart regain its bearing even in times of adversity and keep the right focus. Then God imparts his oil of gladness to lubricate what would otherwise become a rusty, creaky and hardened heart…keeps us overcoming while we await the glorious appearing of our Lord.

Quote (Is 1:18 @ April 30 2005,05:24)Hi Greg,Here is a section of a post I made several months ago (pg 64, Trinity thread). FYI.Hi Is.1:18:Here's what I am getting: it's a back trail kind of view but hopefully, it should leave the scriptures unbroken.Exd 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name Jealous, a jealous God:…[Read more]

Marvelous feeling and assurance to know and worship the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nick, I love the break down of Rev 15 as you have it…I hope it helps others to understand too that there is only One True God whom Jesus has called us to worship.

This ministered to me today.  The Law and the Testimony also bring to mind the Song of Moses and the Lamb concerning the Father in Revelation 15.May you be established in the knowledge of God through his Son who fulfilled the requirement of the law on our behalf and whom God made a testimony to us.Isaiah 8:11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 29 2005,02:25)Quite so cubes, Sent by the Father, anointed with the Spirit of the Father to do the work of the Father in the Father's name.Hi Nick and All:Well, right now I submit Isaiah 7 & 8, with focus on Is 7:10-14, and 8:5-10: It is the first instance I've noticed in Isaiah where Messiah is prophesied. YHWH Sent…[Read more]

Some evidence showing that YHWH and YESHUA are NOT the same individual:Luke 4:17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,Because He has anointed MeTo preach the gospel to the poor;He has sent Me *to heal the brokenhearted,To…[Read more]

Since Father (GOD) did the speaking, he said, “let there be light.”Another way to look at it on a much lower level is:I bore my children. They came in the world through me and their dad. But their real origin is in God through Christ.

Quote (Rudy @ April 28 2005,00:00)Nick,What then was Christs' role in creation since in fact all things that exist (Yahweh excluded) were created by Him and for Him and that by Him all things are upheld?Specifically, what did He do?For one thing we are told that:1. He is the express image of the Father.2. He is the branch, and one who came to…[Read more]

Quote (Rudy @ April 27 2005,17:52)Cubes,What you say makes sense to a degree.  However, I do not believe that the Most High God ever was or ever will be MUTE!  So by that token God is in Christ and Christ in God!  The two are one and inseperable.  So the Word cannot act aside from Yahweh and ALL of Yahwehs' Creation is by the Word.  So to try and…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ April 26 2005,22:35)But certainly Jesus had fellowship with his disciples but amongst it all the Pharisees were often there to oppose him. They were threatened by Jesus because Jesus had the truth and they had wickedness in their hearts.Jesus even said that as they did to him, they will do to us if we are of him.Well, I am grateful for…[Read more]

Quote (Rudy @ April 26 2005,21:48)So Cubes,as you understand it there are more than one God.  The Most High and the Word.  The Word was your Creator, became your Savior in the flesh.But Yahweh says He ALONE is your God and Creator.  He ALONE is your Redeemer.  There is NO God beside Him!Deut. 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD (Yahweh) our God is one…[Read more]
