@carmel
I asked this:
Is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit worthy of all praise, honor and glory above all, in your opinion and do you love them with your whole heart, soul, and mind?You said this:
THAT I AM NOT AS YOU ASKED IN THE ABOVE HEADING
SINCE YOU SIMPLY NEVER PRODUCED A SUBSTANTIAL STATEMENT WHICH SUPPORTED YOUR QUESTION
So, you do not…[Read more]

Who/what is the ‘word’ that became flesh in John 1?Lightenup replied to the topic PROOF of Jesus' eternal past existence in the forum Truth or Tradition 9 years, 9 months ago
Hi @Carmel
You are right, this thread is based on the word ‘Beginning.’
The ‘Beginning’ in which the creation of God took place is also the Amen, the True and Faithful Witness. Rev 3:14
NASB
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:

SOULS ARE ETERNAL!

SO NOT TO ERADICATE SOULS
You say that souls are eternal and cannot be destroyed. Let’s test this.
Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever…[Read more]

Perhaps the Church as an entity personifies “The Bride” and the individual people WITHIN the Church/Body personifies the “guest(s)”. I THINK that idea/theory/explanation might have already been touched upon here in an earlier post.
But yeah, it CAN make more sense of scripture if one looks at it in that way; That those individuals…[Read more]

God, indeed, works in mysterious ways 😉
When something is in the process of “happening” we sometimes cannot, right then and there, see it for what it is; But only afterwards, can we truly see and understand that God’s Hand was in it.
I believe that things happen for a reason and that everything works towards accomplishing the Plan God…[Read more]

I’m appreciating your visually toned down post, brother 😉
I do not celebrate Christmas, but still wish for you a very blessed day!

You claim to be a believer, but I see no Christlike characteristics in you so far. I dare say people like you who supposedly represent the Church are one of the main reasons why so many who are still lost refrain from seeking out God and Christ. You are putting out into the world a gross/damaging picture of Christian…

you said:
ABANDON THIS CORRUPPTED WORLDLY CARNAL SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE THE SPIRITUAL HEAVENLY SYSTEM, WHILE STILL ON EARTH!
Would you please tell me how you think that I am holding on to a corrupted worldly carnal system?

I counted at least 31 exclamation points in that last post you directed at me…preceded by sentences in all caps.
First off, I do not appreciate being typed at loudly..especially when it’s unwarranted.
Second off, you quoted from my post as if those were MY words, but that quote is not mine. I merely posted something that was on Hub…[Read more]

The Trinity is Babylon/Confusion.
Jesus said: “eternal life is this, that they may know the ONLY true God AND Jesus whom HE has sent.
Jesus did not say: “eternal life is this, to know the only true God, the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
The first is the words of eternal life. The latter is not, yet many are drunk on those words.
