Mike,

You said:

John 1:18… No one has seen God at any time.  The only begotten god, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has explained Him.

I’m no rocket scientist, but if there is a god that no one has ever seen, and an only-begotten god “which we have seen with our own eyes and touched with our own hands” (1 John 1:1), then they are TWO diffe…

You are welcome, videos that show that are not rare. Many people get it, Danny.

I look forward to a post from you as to what you agree and/or disagree with from this post copied here:

You said:

Yes, they are a unity but I don’t think
they are a Yahweh unity.
Because Yahweh is the Father. Jesus is His Son.
Two separate individuals.

Thanks for the encouraging meditations, Berean.

Have a great day! LU

For Danny:

Hi gadam123,

You said:

I know you will not leave me freely with your unending questions.

Are my questions bothering you?

You said that Jesus might be a historical person of the first century, why “might be?”

Also, are you aware of there being many testimonies of NDE’s from people who were clinically dead but came back to life?

Hi Danny,

I’m glad that you feel you can understand my position. What do you agree with and what do you question/disagree with?

I’m happy to pray for your search 🙂

May the LORD bless you, LU

Hi Danny,

You said:

Yes, they are a unity but I don’t think
they are a Yahweh unity.
Because Yahweh is the Father. Jesus is His Son.
Two separate individuals.

You do realize that I agree that the Father and the Son are two separate individuals, right? I happen to believe that the Father gave his name “Yahweh” to his son, like some fathers do (…[Read more]

Mike,

You asked:

Jesus is one of God’s many heavenly sons.  He is a son of God.  Why?  Do you believe that Jesus is God’s only son?

Is Jesus the only begotten son of God or one of many begotten sons of God?

Mike,

You asked:

I’m also waiting for you to tell me which particular word in Gen 1:1 refers to a person/persons.

Mike,

You asked:

 …why Peter and John, in their prayer in Acts 4, identify Jesus as the servant of the God who created the heaven, earth, sea, and all that is in them – not the Creator of those things… and as the anointed one of the Yahweh against whom the nations rage – and not Yahweh Himself.

Like a missionary is a servant of the church…[Read more]

Mike,

You said:

It appears that most of the commentators say it is about Jesus…

It is applied to Jesus, for sure but in the sense as one of the kings in the line of the Davidic kings so, yes, it is applied to Jesus as the ultimate Davidic son turned king but it is applied to others in the line of the Davidic kings also.

Mike,

You said:

Matthew 7:13… Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

All underlined words are genitive.  Certainly this doesn’t mean that the gate is the “instrument” that does the actual entering for us, right?

Mike, when the word following dia is genitive a…[Read more]

Danny,

Thank you for this post of answers to my questions:

Hi LU,

In this post I will answer the remaining questions from your list.

Is the Lord Jesus and God the father one? Yes or No.

Yes. John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Danny, can you tell me of a higher unity in heaven or on earth?

No. Jesus and His Father are the highest unity there…

Mike,

You said:

We are actually told about the moment that this event occurred with God and His firstborn Son Jesus in the scriptures…

Psalm 2:7…  I will proclaim Yahweh’s decree:  He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.”

We learn from this psalm that there was a time when God had no son, and therefore wasn’t a fat…

Mike,

I’m so sorry for you loss of your dad. That’s a hard loss. My dad has been gone for almost 14 years. I hope to see him and maybe get a personal tour of his farm in heaven when my time comes.

That’s great that you are helping your mom.

Regarding your concern about getting banned you shouldn’t have to worry about that if you have done wh…[Read more]

Thank you Berean, you as well!

God bless, LU

Got it, thanks Danny. I remember reading that you did indeed identify Yahweh as being valued at 30 pieces of silver in the OT and Jesus being valued at 30 pieces of silver in the NT as a fulfillment of the prophecy.

I look forward to your answers to the other questions.

Berean,

All the texts of the Bible do not say that God created the world by the Son, but there are enough to believe that this is THE CASE and in particular Paul to the Colossians.

Amen! Btw, “by” him and “through” him both mean the same thing. It was “by the instrumentality of” the Son that God, the Father, created the world.

Dia has the usage…[Read more]

Mike,

My point with the coin analogy is about how one side requires the existence of the other side to be the side it is. In other words the Father requires the existence of the Son to be the Father that he is. The Son requires the existence of the Father to be the Son of God that he is. It is together, as in existence, not necessarily location,…[Read more]

Mike,

You said:

Jesus is not God, Kathi, but one of God’s many heavenly sons – each one created with free will to either obey and align their wills with the will of their God – or reject their God like Satan and a third of God’s heavenly sons already did.

Is Jesus the Son of God or merely a Son of God?

Blessings, LU
