Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 20 2006,11:38)Hi RR, But about none of these does it say”The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God”Quote Luke 1:35And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 20 2006,11:06)Hi RR, If you say that Jesus was the result of a natural human union, as we all are, and yet say his conception was of the Holy Ghost, then so must all of ours be too surely?The Holy Spirit (power of YHWH) came upon Mary to ensure her fertility ’for the fullness of time had come’.   I don’t believe he com…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 20 2006,11:01)Hi RR, So is THE HOLY ONE of GOD greater than these others?What is the difference between a son of God and THE Son of God?Do you believe Christ is no greater than Moses?Was Christ God's representative or did God speak and work through him as a vessel?Your questions have become foolish.Anyone that has been…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 19 2006,22:23)Hi RR, Your answer on page 15 of the “are we born with sin?” forum confirms what I had come to believe. You deny the only begotten Son of God. He is but a man to you and no more a son of God than any other Jewish man.He is not ‘but a man’ to me – HE IS:the prophet like unto Mosesthe seed of Abrahamthe rod…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 19 2006,11:56)And what does “of the Holy Spirit”  mean to you in Matt 1.20?You also have never addressed the question I posed about in which way is Jesus the Son of God?Your first question was answered in part (e) of the above and I have answered question two in the 'Are we born with SIN' topic on page 15.
