Quote (Not3in1 @ April 14 2007,17:20)Wow, Tim, I didn't know this about you.  Thank you for sharing this with me.  You know, it was only about 3 1/2 years ago that I was a dedicated Trinitarian.  I was in ministry (up to my eyeballs, really).  And then I took some time off to study.  I found that the OT does tell of a son who is coming…..  If…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 15 2007,13:23)HI NICK Hassan   my question is how could a word litterly become flesh. Jesus said God was a spirit and while a person can have spirit within his flesh, his flesh can never be spirit. a word is a intellegent uterance a sound made by wind moving across our vocial cord deriving it origin from our intellect…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 07 2010,15:27)Hi ED, The return of Jesus is associated with the resurrection of the saints. Paul warned against those who claimed it had already happened. marantha Lord Jesus come.That said it all.Thanks.

Interesting topic. Others have covered truths such as, “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”  Is there a difference between sin and sins?  Besides, of course, the obvious one that one is singular and one is plural.  We were all born with a sin nature, called the old man, see Ephesians 4:22.  This sin nature paves the path for sin…[Read more]

Quote (Lisa @ Oct. 18 2005,00:18)Is Jesus co-equal with the Father?No, the Father is greater.  Naturally, a son of a father has some of the same characteristics of the father, but they are not co=.  The father is older, usually wiser, etc. They have the same last name, because the father willed it to be so.  But the father (and mother) cares, ta…[Read more]

You might want to read the phrase “word of the Lord” more carefully.  Note that it does not say, “person who is the Lord”  it says word.   What am I trying to say?  What was the word of the Lord?   God chose to communicate with the man of God using words.  Words were exchanged..  God communicated words to the man of God that the man of God needed to hear.

Should we follow the ten commandments? Jesus C. summed up the law, including the ten, into two: Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. As we love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, we will not have time to anything else. Likewise, if we love our neighbor as ourselves, we…[Read more]

In I Peter 3:6, it is stated that Sarah called Abraham lord. Why? Out of respect for Abraham. Was Abraham God? Obviously not. Jesus Christ having the title “lord” does not mean that he is God either. Jesus Christ certainly has earned our respect and the praise of his Father, God.

The topic of this forum being, “Jesus was sent. What does that mean? It is clear and indisputable that God sent Jesus Christ and God has the greater authority. When we stray from the topic then we cause unnecessary dilemmas. Jesus Christ was sent, Jesus Christ having freedom of will, chose to go where he was sent. Jesus Christ chose to do…[Read more]

Nick, I have read some of your posts. You have given a lot of effort to consider scripture in its entirety. I appreciate what you are doing. I look forward to learning from your posts. barley
