“Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.” – Ephesians 2:18

“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father–the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father–he will testify about Me.” – John 15:26

Since trinity is not taught once in scripture the motion fails

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” – Matthew 28:19

Nick..

You claim you are born of the Spirit – but how can I to BELIEVE that… when you deny the revelation of Scripture concerning the very One you claim to know and follow..?

If you had known Me you would have known the Father

Yes, I and the Father ARE one…

We are not God – we are not Jesus…we are branches grafted into the Vine – if we TRULY abide in His Word..

NickHassan (continued)..

I never left Scripture – I just gave it to you in my own words..

This is how the Bible says it..

“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, to them that believe on His name”

I never left – I just gave you Scripture in my own words..

This is how the Bible says it..

“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, <i>even</i> to them that believe on His name”

I know I’m born again because of the changes in my heart when I gave my life to Jesus Christ…but I ‘m questioning you because I don’t sense that you hare had this same experience..

I know I’m born again because of the changes in my heart when I gave my life to Christ…but I ‘m questioning you because I don’t sense that you hare had this same experience..

so, at what point does one become born again – is it just a slow process… you wake up one day and realize you’re a different person..? or is it an instantaneous experience that takes place at a certain point in time..?

t8 – “And GOD said, “Let Us…”

you say…

The plurality of the word “us” is the Father and the Son

Q. How can you include the Son when it is God speaking…? (that is my argument)…!?

Seriously – I have to wonder if you smoke pot..

How does one become born again, Nick…?

..so you’re speaking of the future – Jesus spoke of the present…‘I and the Father are one,’ something no other person (no matter how righteous) has ever been able to truthfully say…because no one else (apart from the Holy Spirit) is one with God…

How did the greatest apostles refer to themselves –  as ‘bondservants’ of J…[Read more]

So t8, I’m trying to follow your explanation here of Jesus saying, “Before Abraham was born, I AM” – you simply say it was very common to say ‘I am’ back in those days..

yes people believe that today it is common to say “I am”. Additionally it was common back in Jesus day too..

..but to be honest, it’s very hard to fit your explanation into the…[Read more]

..so you did a Bible search, and Yippee !! nothin there, so you must be right…!!  How about you do a word search for “Rapture” and see what you come up with…!! does that disprove the fact of saints meeting Christ in the air just because your specific word isn’t found in Biblical terminology..!?

You come up with…[Read more]

slow down and think first…you’re babbling

first you misquote me saying

You asked if we could be one with God too.

No – this is the question I asked…’What other prophet, apostle or saint could ever say a thing like that..!? (I and the Father are one)   …Could you say that..!?

I hate theology (but love Scripture)…theology is the dead interpretations and wranglings of men who think they are important because of their amazing Biblical knowledge – but Scripture is alive and pure…wasn’t it the theologians that crucified Christ..!? Those old pharisees knew the Scriptures back to front but because they had…[Read more]
