“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Jehovah Witnesses re-interpret this verse to say, “…and the Word was a god” to suit their own teaching…. (that Jesus was really Michael the archangel)…

If you don’t agree with this definitive verse, how would you re-word it to explain what you believe conc…[Read more]

…so now you’re saying the Bible is confusing…?

no confusion here…

you’re hung up on the word ‘trinity’ because of your background… I believe in the deity of both the Holy Spirit and the Son as equal to the Father, this is refereed to in Scripture as the ‘Godhead’…

The issue with the trinity is the deity of Christ – to deny the trinity (like the JW’s) is to grievously demote Jesus Christ..

As soon as I find your trinity taught in the bible I could agree.

Otherwise I would be following tradition.

 

What I share comes from the Bible – please show me anything I have said that comes from tradition..?

Trinity, trinity everywhere you look,

But people are blind when they read the Book…

Saying God has given all power on heaven and earth does not make them God..

Bodhitharta – the reason God is God is because He has all power on heaven and earth.. if you were given that power you would have to be God by very definition.

Binding things on earth doesn’t make us God, just as manifesting the miraculous will never make us greater than…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing about your spiritual journey NickHassan.. I find many people stumble on the trinity because they do not have the Spirit – trusting instead in their own logical understanding for guidance, they end up rejecting truth because it makes no sense to the natural mind..when really, if you think about it, all truth comes by way of…[Read more]

Do you not clearly see the words “sit on the right hand of the Power of God” PLEASE note it does not say “AS GOD”

 

How much power does God have…?

How much power does the Son have, seated at the right hand of the Father..?

“When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying,…[Read more]

Rebirth from above by the Holy Spirit of God is the plan of God for all.

 

So when did YOU become born again Nick – what was YOUR OWN experience..?

so how can ONE GOD not know something about one of its own manifestations?

 

The same way a husband may know something the wife doesn’t – and yet the two are one according to God..!

God made man in his image. Jesus is called the image of God. We are not the source. Jesus is not the source. Both are images of God. One made, the other begotten.

T8… Jesus is not the source..???

John 1:4 “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.”

John 5:26 “For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also…[Read more]

I think it’s your turn Nick – What does it mean to you to be born again..?

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

 

Yes, I know this is your verse of choice to use against the trinity, but again all you are doing is using the humanity of Jesus in an attempt to deny His deity…and thus slipping into the realm of teaching cult doctrine..

Let me know when…[Read more]

To NickHassan – I have made answer to your queries – the Word was God (which will always remain unsatisfactory to those who have not the Spirit), but I have expounded on this further for your benefit also..

Jesus used human reasoning, so it is foolish to bash it because in doing so you bash his actions.

To answer Kerwin – reason has it’s place, but it is DEFINITELY NOT in interpreting Scripture – that was purely the realm of the religious whom Christ called ‘hypocrites’, and John termed – ‘brood of vipers’

The problem with Christendom and all its…[Read more]

Secondly you mention Thomas calling Jesus “God”what you did not manage to notice was no one else responded that way at the time…

Thomas had a revelation of Jesus Christ as God, the same way that Peter saw He was truly the Messiah, that John saw He was the Word, that Phillip saw He was the Father, and Paul/Saul saw Him as Lor…[Read more]

Jesus testifies that the one he calls God is the ONLY TRUE GOD. Do you believe it when Jesus calls “the father” The ONLY TRUE GOD? If you do believe what Jesus said wouldn’t that make Jesus and every other being anything else but God?

 

To answer Bodhitharta… yes, I believe Jesus when He calls the Father the ONLY TRUE GOD – but when you look…[Read more]
