Adam……Do you understand the concept of Sacrifice, what it represented even in the Old Testament , can you give a reason for it to ever be commanded by God himself? please think about this and answer this inquire, It may help a lot here.
peace and love to you and your Adam………….gene

Adam……Proclaimer is right, about the sacrificial lamb, being the sign of the redemption given us in the Sacrifice of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. He is absolutely right about that. It was God the Father who offered up Jesus as the payment for our sins. That is clear in both the new and the Old Testaments, of how sin were dealt with.

To all……… If you believe God the Father called Jesus a God, then God the Father would be contradicting his very own words, “you shall have no other God beside me ,
Isa 44:6…“Thus says the LORD the king of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD OF HOSTS ; I am the first , and the last, and BESIDES ME, THERE IS “NO” GOD.
Isa 44:8…..

Proclaimer……… God is Spirit and he is Devine nature, he can “indwell” us and then we become partakers of that Devine nature also, but as you said , none of that makes us a God, the same applies to Jesus .

Berean……The bible says, “But unto us (true believers) there is but “ONE” GOD, and “ONE” MEDIATOR, between me and God, the “MAN” Jesus Christ.

Mike…..So let’s not strain our brains ok, Scripture says (not me ) But unto us the is but “ONE” GOD, and one mediator between God and Men, the “MAN” Jesus Christ.
Please tell me what part of that scripture you don’t believe?

Berean…….. First of all you need to understand what it means to be in the “form” of God, can you explain that to us? Next is what time was that talking about , I believe it was talking about when he was on this earth, Then the passage address the idea that Jesus did not think to “rob” God to try to make himself “equal” to him. It is not say…[Read more]

Proclaimer……God’s word is certainly Devine, no matter who quotes them, but turning “the man Jesus ” into a God is a Lie , and that is exactly what fallen Christianity has done.
Look the very reason the apostasy took place over 1700 years ago, was because of the false teachings of The TRINITY DOCTRINE, and that DOCTRINE turns the “MAN” Jesus…[Read more]

Berean……Being found in fashion as a “man” ,why?, was because he was a “MAN”.
“but unto us ( the saved) , there is but “ONE GOD” and ONE MEDIATOR , between GOD and men, “the “MAN” Jesus Christ. ”
YOU either believe that or not, just that simple .

Berean……What you are saying John 1: 1, does not say at all> John never said Jesus was A God, nor That Jesus himself is the word of God either, But Jesus said just the opposite, “the words i am telling you “ARE NOT” my words” Now that’s what Jesus himself said. So if Jesus said the words he was telling us were ‘NOT’ his words, then what word…[Read more]
