And I maintain that Jesus was God and man and that HE lived as a man without taking advantage of his divinity for himself.
This is what you don’t understand.If Jesus had been only a man he would have been like all men with the need of a SAVIOR FOR ALL MEN HAVE SINS, ALL ARE DEPRIVED FROM THE GLORY OF GOD, THERE IS NOT ONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT ONE A…[Read more]

Nick……Amen to you last post, Indeed Peter, and the other Apostles did the same things Jesus did and no one ever called them God. These people worship Jesus as their God, which turns the “Image” of him into the “Image’” of a God, which breakers the first commandment, which then turns the “Image” of him into a “man of sin”. Exactly as Paul i…[Read more]

To all…….2Ti 2:15……>Study to show “YOURSELF” approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed , “RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH”.
And again, 2Ti 2:19…….> Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, ” THE LORD KNOWS THEM THAT ARE HIS.” And let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Berean……Jesus was certainly planed in heaven by God the Father way before he ever existed, but he was not alive until he was born on earth , through the operation of God the father who is in Heaven. So from that point of view he was indeed sent from heaven, but to say he ““preexisted”, as a live being in heaven before his birth on this earth is a…[Read more]

Nick…..I was baptized once and did not receive the Holy Spirit, I was baptized again ten years later and when the elders lied their hands on me and prayed over me, I then received the gift of the, Holy Spirit, and great peace came over me.

Proclaimer…..The glory Jesus had was afforded him before he ever came into his existence, the exact same as the glory of mankind was afforded us before we ever existed also, just as said in Heb 2:6-9. 2:8, says about mankind this…….Thou hast put “ALL” in subjection under his feet (mankind) , he (God) left nothing that is not put under him (…[Read more]

To all……Jesus clearly speaking of himself said……“the Son of man can do “nothing” of himself”. But most don’t really believe he meant what he said, if they did believe him they would understand it was God the Father doing the works in and through him.

Nick……Yes it was God the Father speaking through the mouth of Jesus, who said , ““destroy this Temple and in three day I (God) shall raise it up”. That is the correct way to understand that . I have told theses people that for over ten years here at different times.
There is another place where the same thing happened, when Jesus said……[Read more]

Desire Truth…….no where in the Old Testament doe it say Jesus would be in the Grave three days and thre nights, Jesus know that so he himself compared his time in the Grave to Jonah, and revealed it to them before it happened.

Nick……Lots of truth in your last post, it’s to bad most don’t understand that. They think Jesus did it all for them, and just believing in him saves them. They don’t understand we must live as Jesus lived by the anointing Spirit of God. That is what Jesus meant when he said we must eat (take to ourselves) his flesh and drink (take to ourselves)…[Read more]

Desire Truth You said the Old Testament was written by Jews, that is wrong prove to me where any scripture says the Old Testament was written by the Jews? Moses was not a Jew, he was of the tribe of Levi he wrote most of the Old Testament . Except for the prophets, and most of them were not Jews.

Berean, yes Jesus did give praise to God the father, but that does you no good , you must also like Jesus praise him yourself also. You keep trying to put Jesus ahead of your praise for God the father, why is that? Jesus never put himself or any other man ahead of God the Father, why are you? Your religion has corrupted your thinki…[Read more]

Anyone who doesn’t realize that when Jesus returns he will gather the living saints and resurrect the dead who are in him, and establish on this earth his kingdom, simply does not understand scriptures.
