Proclaimer…….“thy kingdom come “THY WILL” BE DONE.” the kingdom of God requires the his will be done, there is no choice there, you either do the will of God or you simply won’t in his kingdom.
You believe your “freewill” yourself into the kingdom of God, “wrong” , By saying that you remove God the Father and his work in us, to bring…[Read more]

Carmel……Jesus is not our first love, God the Father is. I explained that to you all , Go read what the Spirit said to the Church of Ephesus, then remember who Jesus said should be our first love, when the man ask him what was the greatest commandment, it goes like this, “you shall “LOVE”, THE LORD YOUR GOD , WITH “ALL” YOU MIGHT, ALL YO…[Read more]

Berean…….John 1:1, is not saying Jesus is the word of God, no scripture says that Jesus “IS” the word of God, he is no more the word of God then any of the Prophets of old are, they all spoke to us the Father’s words, exactly the same way. Through the Anointing Spirit that was abiding “in” them.
The book of Hebrews clearly shows…[Read more]

BEREAN, I am not offended by the fact Jesus tell us God the Father’s words that abide “in” him, , that is exactly what I believe, but what offended both God the Father and me, is you going around telling people that Jesus , “IS”, the word of God, That is a LIE.
Jesus never was God the Father’s word, even though he “quoted” GOD THE FATHER’…[Read more]

To all……..Jesus said, (not me),…..“the words I am telling you are “NOT” MY words, but the words of him who sent me”.
So the idea of saying Jesus is the word of God, is a lie, by Jesus’ own mouth. GOD AND HIS WORD ARE ONE, JUST AS YOU AND YOUR WORDS ARE YOU. NO ONE CAN BE YOUR WORD, NOR CAN YOU BE ANYONE ELSE’S WORD EITHER.

Proclaimer……..to create is one thing, to be getting is quite another.
TO BEGET, requires a birth process.
TO CREATE, does not require a birth process.

Berean ……. you say “Jesus “took on “, but is that what scripture says, ( not me?)……Heb2:9 ….but we see Jesus , “WHO WAS MADE”, a little lower then the Angels, for the suffering of death”…..
We are also “MADE”, a “little” lower then the angels, and we also suffer death. And we must also put our “wills” to death, just like he did.…[Read more]

Berean, you said, “You’re going to tell me, but this power comes from the father.This is true in a, “certain” sense”.
No, this is true in a “APSOLUTE” SENSE, Jesus himself said, (not me) …….“the Son of Man can do “NOTHING” of himself”. what does the word “NOTHING”, mean to you? AND how does that fit in with your, Jesus is the cr…[Read more]

Proclaimer…….Wisdom is not a person, it is an “ATRIBUTE” , one of the seven Spirits, of God, trying to make it out to be Jesus is simply forcing the text to say what in fact it does not say or even hint at.
This is what you are doing with many other scriptures also, like thinking when Jesus said, “before” Abraham, I am, as meaning…[Read more]

Desire truth…….Welcome to my and Jodi’s world, These people haven’t a clue what scriptures actually say, they rely on the lies of modern “christanity” inturpitations and conform to the Prophesy of Paul, in “2ths2”, they have turned the “man” Jesus into their God .

Desire Truth……..I believe, if whatever is said “contradicts ” what is written in the old Testement, it is a lie. I also believe it takes the “spirit of truth” to guide your mind into the true meaning of scriptures.
We were told by PAUL to study the scriptures, to show ourselves , “approved unto God by “rightly” dividing the word of…[Read more]
