Since we know that God is Spirit and there is only “One Spirit” and the Spirit is God and…[Read more]

Hi worshippingJesus,I must be missing something here.I still don't understand why in your mind it is exclusive. Jesus either has ALL power or none.Why can Jesus not uphold all things by the word of His power, his Father is still more powerful? Plus you keep dwelling on the definition of power. I have said that I believe that power and authority…[Read more]

Hi chap,To what difference are you referring other than that one is called the lake of burning sulfur, and the other is lake of fire. Tim

Hi chap,Do you feel that since one is the lake of burning sulfur, and the other is lake of fire that they are different lakes?Tim

Hey look,I am official. I have an avatar.:D Looks just like me too.Tim

Hi worshippingJesus,You said, “I hope you can see that if Jesus upholds “ALL Things” by the word of his power, then he also has all power!”No I don't think that one means the other. Jesus can uphold all things by the word of his power, and still not have all power.I still see a clear difference in the definition of power and of authority.Tim

There are a lot of good discussions here.Tim

Quote (acertainchap @ June 30 2007,11:29)So you don't believe in the trinity….then why does the Bible speak of God in plural? If you give me a good reason then I will quit believing this issue.Good gracious chap,Don’t ever change your belief merely because someone gave you a good explanation for some verse in the bible. Your belief system s…[Read more]

WorshippingJesus,Please forgive my sarcasm in my earlier reply.I will answer each of your questions.1.Have you considered what it would mean for God to give equal authority to the Son?Ans. Yes, to me it would mean that Jesus now has the authority through the power of God to rule the universe and everything that is in it.Power is not the same as…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ June 30 2007,12:10)TimBTW.You say…Quote God had made Jesus His equal in authority for a time. Jesus was at his right hand. This was after Jesus had been resurrected.

Quote (Not3in1 @ June 30 2007,05:04)Nick, I agree.  When you read the Word day in, and day out, you begin to “hear” things that do not sound scriptural such as:God the SonSecond person, (third person of God)IncarnationPreexistenceDual natureFully Man and Fully GodGod the Holy SpiritWord GodAnd the list could go on and on……Hi Not3in1,I don't…[Read more]
