Hi Nick,The truth has set me free. The truth that Jesus is My God. John 20:28. You don't seem to accept this. Why not?You also seem to believe that the Word was God and has stopped being God. God stopped being God? Even though He was confessed to be God after His resurrection? Even though He is in the bosom of the Father? John 1:18.Tim

Hi Nick,The Word was God. So God was the Word. The Word became flesh. Do you think the Word has ceased to be God?Tim

Hi Nick,Yes, the Son is a true Son who was with God. Yes, the image of God with life in Himself? Yes. One thing you left out … God, yes.Forget the old theological substance rationalizations? And agree with the 2007 Nick Hassan rationalizations? Nothing personal, but I think I'll go with the Bible and the common understanding that…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Well, the Word was God, the Word became flesh, so we know the Word, God, was in Christ. Jesus also says that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him, so I would say the Father was also present in Him. And the Spirit also descended on Him during His baptism, so I would say the Spirit was also in Him.Tim

Hi Nick,Was and is. Do you think He was God but no longer is?Tim

Hi Nick,Nowhere. But it seems that you think Jesus has abdicated being God, since we know the Word was God and Thomas confessed Him as God after the resurrection.Tim

Ok Nick,I agree. The Son really is a son. The Father really a father. Good.Now, how do you say the birth/begetting of the Son happened? I say it happened outside of time, so that the Son has always existed (He is the first and the last). Do you think it happened at a moment in time? I also say that the Son was born/begotten out of the Father,…[Read more]

Hi Nick,So you deny that the Word was God?Tim

Still an inference Nick. A much bigger one than that Jesus is God.

Hi Nick,Your god is not Jesus. No thanks.Tim

Hi Nick,Our God is Jesus. John 20:28. Why deny what Scripture says?Tim

Hi Nick,I merely defend the Bible. Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is a person.Tim

Hi Nick,How does it follow from, “The Father, Son, and Spirit are one God,” and “The Father is not the Son, nor the Son the Father,” that the Father is the Son?Tim

How many people have agreed with your doctrine of…[Read more]

Quote (david @ April 10 2007,19:48)I ask this again because I think it belongs here and because no one has really attempted to answer it to any significant extent:JOHN 19:7“The Jews answered him: “We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself God’s son.””If these people wanted him dead (as they clearly did) and…[Read more]

Hi Nick,You keep putting Scriptures together to deny that Jesus is God. When you understand that the Son shares the same glory as the Father (John 17:5), and that YHWH doesn't share His glory with anyone (Isaiah 42:8), you may understand who God is.Tim

Nick,For the thousandth time, the Trinity does not hold that Jesus is His own Father. It holds that the Father and the Son are the same God. If you're going to argue with us, argue with what we actually say.Tim

Hi Nick,”The Son of God came as a vessel for God.” On what basis do you make this inference?Tim

Hi David,So Jesus only bore the sin of Adam? Not the sin of the world?Tim

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 10 2007,15:13)Hi not3, He was the image of God and was with God so not in God or as God.Hi Nick,One more thing. The Word was God.Tim
