Please reply to the a…[Read more]

Nick,I have absolutely not doubt that Yahshua is the prophecied Messiah.  I believe this because he is from 'seed of David' as he is the physical son of Joseph and Mary.  I also believe him to be the 'Son of God' for YHWH chose him as his son.For those that have only started reading from the last couple of pages, and find this topic of interest, t…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 26 2006,22:27)Hi RR, THE Son of God was sent into the world. All men are sons of God as scripture says we are “all His offspring” The Jews were also all sons of God as shown in Deut 14.1I get the sense the word Yachid has a hint of “special” about it.

I do not believe Yahshua existed with YHWH before his birth except that his birth was planned and would take place 'when the fullness of time had come'.Quote from NickQuote What does 'only begotten' mean to you?Quote John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (3439), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,…[Read more]

Malcolm FerrisI think you have accidently posted in the wrong topic. This is about conception/virgin birth – not baptism.

Quote (Artizan007 @ April 22 2006,11:49)Hi RR & WIT,Just a quick question, How could Jesus have been born without sin if he was born of man?Or is the “Original Sin” doctrine another of the man made doctrines?Was Jesus the perfect, spotless Lamb of God who died for the sin of the world in your view, or is salvation by some other way, like obedience…[Read more]
