Hi Ed J,

YOU:What??? the tribe of Judah came from eternity to Bethlehem?

ME: What?? How on earth did you get that from what I said? …which was “The going forth of this man of the tribe of Judah was spoken from ancient of days, even by the eternal God before time on earth even existed.”

Ed J, is Micah NOT giving a prophecy, a promise from God…[Read more]

Hi t8,

The NT reveals God’s word from the OT being fulfilled.

The NT gives light to that which God spoke in the OT.

The NT repeatedly quotes the OT revealing the prophecies of God’s word being fulfilled in Jesus and by Jesus.

Certainly at different times new things did God declare unto people, these things most definitely were not knew to Him…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

The going forth of one of the tribe of Judah have been from of old..

Our eternal God promised before time began, so at…[Read more]

Ed J,

Once again Micah does not speak of Jesus pre-existing, it says WHOSE comings forth are from old, from ancient times, from before time began.  The coming forth of a human from the tribe of Judah is from ancient days. This should really be obvious to you if you consider other OT prophecies that perfectly align with Micah’s words. How do you…[Read more]

t8, I never said that man did not have a will. I have spoken numerous times about how Jesus overcame his own will that of a human will, and he did it through God’s Spirit.

We choose God because God made us not robots, but rather influential beings, and God’s INFLUENCE and persuasion is greater than any other entity. God leads man to choose Him.…[Read more]

The WORD of the One True God came being fulfilled in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth born from Bethlehem. 

God SPOKE HIS WORDS, giving specifics about a savior unto Israel, one of the people of the tribe of Judah specifically from Bethlehem, whose COMING forth of this certain Israelite was a plan of God before the world was, God made all things…[Read more]

Hi t8,

Hoping that you would respond to the following,

Our One True God is above all in ALL things, He is LORD, a master over influence and persuasion. If His influence and persuasion is not greater, more powerful over His own creation that He specifically designed to be made into His image, then one must believe that there exists wicked gods…[Read more]

Great post Anthony about free choice!

YOU: “James certainly agrees with Scripture and Science that man has the ability “to will.” But he also fully recognizes that there are two things that constantly oppose and change the will of man, so that it cannot be said that the will is free to will its own destiny for even a day or an hour.”

ME: Exc…[Read more]

To All and t8,

t8 said: So God created beings, then they have to still choose him once they are given life. If they choose him, they become the elect and can never die and never sin.

ME: The elect are according to God’s plan through whom He had predestined He would give His Spirit to.

1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to…[Read more]

Hi t8,

God chose a MAN to put His Spirit upon. God delights in this man that He has put His Spirit upon because He will fulfill God’s will through that Spirit. God is well pleased with this man because having His Spirit he will fulfill God’s will. This man who God has put His Spirit on him is he who God declares as His beloved Son.

Matthew…[Read more]

Good Morning t8,

Seems as if you didn’t really read my post at all.

Your understanding is empty my understanding matches perfectly with God’s WORD that He spoke before time on earth began. You are the one cherry picking. Taking verses out of context solely to fit your doctrine. 

Do you suppose when Jesus quoted Isaiah he was unaware of this…[Read more]

Okay t8,

I’d like some specific examples to my “cherry picking”.

Hi T8,

The glory of Jesus, the Gospel of God, was that before time began on earth God promised eternal life to mankind. Jesus the Son of man RECEIVED this eternal life and BECAME the source for all to have eternal life.

I speak of the glory of Jesus according to God’s promises, God’s Word that He had promised before time on earth that He later…[Read more]

Hi t8,

Christ is Christos meaning anointed. Chrio means to anoint. 

Scripture tells us that the Spirit descending upon Jesus like a dove was an anointing. Jesus even quotes Isaiah speaking of his anointing and him being SENT out by God AT THAT TIME. Acts 10 says Jesus of Nazareth was also anointed at the river. Upon Jesus being anointed God…[Read more]
