Hi 94,You believe that for Jesus to be the express image of God's person means that Jesus is God? And you also believe that Jesus is a man? This is good Tim

Yes

Chosenone,Can you explain, “when scripture says “The word was God”, means that Gods' word, the revelation of Himself, was Jesus.”So you believe: The Word was/is the Son/Jesus. And although the Word was God, the Son/Jesus was not God. (?)Tim

Martian,Thanks. That's some interesting history.Nick,Regarding your statement of faith, it's something like:The Word was God.The Word is not God.The Word became flesh.The Word is Jesus.Jesus is the Glorious unique monogenes Son of God, the greatest spirit being under God who partook of our flesh nature. He, with life in himself and a will of his…[Read more]

Yes, it's an inference. And a true one too.

Hi Nick,I agree. My God, Jesus, is definitely not your god.Tim

Nick,It seems to me your statement of faith regarding Jesus is something like this:The Word was God.The Word became flesh.This flesh is Jesus.Jesus on earth was a vessel for God and the Holy Spirit.Jesus/the Word is not God.Is this right?Tim

Nick,I typed, “The Word was in Christ,” and then I said it was a mistake, and corrected myself, saying, “The Word is Christ.” Please show me some respect and just accept that this is my position, the Word is Christ.Tim

Hi Nick,Yes, the thought of God dying should make all of us cringe. But it should also make us rejoice, for we know that no one took His life from Him, but He lay it down under His own authority, and took it up again.I recommend this website: http://trisagionseraph.tripod.com/crossf.htmlTim

Nick,Are you a gnostic? You apparently believe that Jesus is just a vessel for God.Tim

Hi Nick,God is spirit. John 4:24.Tim

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 11 2007,08:55)Hi, So when Christ was asked if he is the Son of God and he said”I am” was he actually saying he was not the Son of God but God Himself?Wow Nick,I can't believe you're doing this on the same day. Just a few hours ago I explained this. Please don't do this.Tim

Hi Nick,The Spirit is shown to be a person in John 14:26 and Acts 13:2, among other places.Where does it say that God is only one person?Tim

Hi Nick,Yes, they would disagree with each other. But not about this. Maybe that should tell you something.He was begotten in the beginning? Actually it says He was in the beginning.God was not the Word? Actually it says the Word was God.Tim

Hi Nick,The Word was God. Show us from Scripture where He stopped being God. Tim

Hi Nick,All the persons of the trinity mutually indwell each other.Tim

Nick,”Why is the Word no longer God?” Where does it say this.Yes, my God, Jesus, died and rose again. He defeated sin and death. Tim

Hi Nick,Thanks for giving me hard time for misspeaking The Word is Christ. The Father and the Spirit are in Him and in each other.Tim

Hi Nick,Is the Word God? We know the Word was God. We also know that the Word is Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and who is the first and the last. I fail to see how God can stop being God. You're assuming he stopped being God. I think the Bible would have mentioned if God stopped being God. Is Jesus our God?…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Sorry I misspoke. The Word was Christ. The Word possess the fullness of deity. The Word became flesh. Therefore the fullness of deity dwells bodily. I don't see the word “vessel” anywhere in the Bible applied to Christ. Tim
