Yes Anthony it is hard as you don’t read or respond appropriately to what I post either, lol!!

Let’s WORK from here, from this topic alone for now, “only begotten Son”.

The problem Anthony is that OT says that God would BECOME a father to the seed of David, and the seed of Solomon. But you speak against this and say that God would send his…[Read more]

Anthony,

You said, “Hi Jodi isn’t ‘that what the scripture said.

John 1:1 says, “(a) In the beginning was the Word, (b) and the Word was with God, (c) and the Word was God.”

That this Divine Word is none other than Jesus Christ is shown by verse 14, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the…[Read more]

Hi Anthony,

Man, I can’t believe you are posting all that from your phone, that seems like a lot of work. Glad you are still with us discussing Jesus.

In my last post speaking about logos, I hope that you read the verses I gave from Acts.

Acts is VERY rich in speaking about the logos given to David by the LORD in regards to Jesus.

I don’t know…[Read more]

The word logos is used in the NT over 300 times,

The logos of the prophets say that the LORD will build again the tabernacle of David, and the logos of the prophets say that the LORD will bring forth a son of David to sit as an eternal King. KNOWN unto God are ALL his works from the beginning of the world. In the beginning of the world existed…[Read more]

Anthony the word is “with” God because it is something He can GIVE and did give.

In the beginning God’s WORD we know for a FACT was eternal life for humans, this was his whole purpose of creating humans, to bring them to ETERNAL LIFE.

Eternal Life is God’s WORD he had in the beginning, it is was WITH Him in His promise through the coming Jesus,…[Read more]

Anthony,

Use ISAIAH in your next post I challenge you! Or do you give NO MIND to the PROPHETS?? So far it seems that you do entirely give NO MIND, and it’s getting old, as if you think I would take you seriously when you don’t, because I simply won’t.

Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have…[Read more]

IF YOU DON’T HAVE a SOLID FOUNDATION in the OT and USE the OT to understand the NT you will NEVER EVER understand the NT correctly.

Anthony,

Please respond to my last post.

One thing I am noticing in your posts is that you rarely if ever, use Old Testament Scripture in your defense, not good bro!!

I don’t think anyone could or should take you seriously if you can’t use Old Testament scripture MORE prevalently !! It’s like you ignore it or just down right refuse it.

I once…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

You said addressed to me,  “God was in him. He spoke the words of God.”

Yep, that’s what I’v’e been saying not sure what you might have misinterpreted from me.

Anthony,

You say Jesus was human but was divine as from his birth with his literal Father being God.

So Jesus then in fact to you was NOT a human, but a different type of being,  half human half divine. 

THIS is a HUGE problem Anthony, you cannot say he is actually a HUMAN being if he was not born with the SEED of a MAN, and the EGG of a W…[Read more]

LU, please read my post above in it’s entirety and then respond,

You said, “I believe that Jesus was saying that He existed before Abraham existed and I would not be among the Pharisees throwing stones, I understand that He is claiming to be the actual, same in essence, Son of God who pre-existed Abraham. The Pharisees did not understand THAT.…[Read more]

Anthony and LU,

I want to take from my last post and highlight the topic of the last section John 8 and I hope that you can read through the entirety of the post and then respond.

In John 8 we read Jesus saying that the Pharisees to not understand him, they hear not and see not, they misunderstand what he says.

We see in the beginning of John…[Read more]

I AM THAT I AM

THE FIRST AND ONLY time in the OT that it is said, “I AM the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,” is in Exodus 3 WHEN the LORD spoke through an angel to Moses by the burning bush. Exodus 3 is also the ONLY time in the entire bible that “I AM THAT I AM” is given.

Jesus quoted Exodus…[Read more]

We CAN RID CONFUSION by RELYING on the WORD of God spoken to the prophets and believe those words, and that those words were fulfilled both IN and BY the man Jesus, who was 100% flesh and blood being TRULY of the SEED of Solomon, David, and Abraham.

Isaiah 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep…[Read more]

I am suppose to believe that Jesus pre-existed as the WORD of God, but when this pre-existing god became flesh he could not speak the word of God through himself, even though he was apparently the word of God prior?

LU and Anthony,

Did God save men through a man?

From what I have gathered is that you believe Jesus was God but then became part…[Read more]

Paul does not teach that God was made into flesh.

Paul teaches that God was made visible/known in the flesh, in Jesus.

To say that we know God through Jesus, because Jesus spoke God’s words, is quite different then saying Paul meant that God became a mortal able to be tempted and die.

The “he” or the “him” in Hebrews is always referring to the…[Read more]

Anthony,

I have had a very busy week at work and haven’t been able to post. I have spent sometime going through your interpretations of scripture though.

I had addressed the first part of the post you addressed to me you responded and I responded back but do not see another response, maybe I missed it.

Let’s go back to it and then I’d like to…[Read more]

Anthony,

That is not my interpretation, but the meaning to the original words! Use your lexicon and look it up,  both manifested and justified are defined exactly how I said!

God CANNOT become flesh and be tempted, you have absolutley no clue as to who the Father and Son are.

Romans 1 talks about turning the image of God to a mortal man, and…[Read more]

Hi Anthony,

You said, “And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 – Webster’s Translation”

God WAS MADE KNOWN (manifested) in JESUS, he was RENDERED RIGHTEOUS (just…[Read more]

Hi Anthony,

Yes there is ONLY ONE Spirit, that Spirit is God the Father of Jesus and our Father.

God can give His Spirit to HUMANS, there are elements of His Spirit that He can give and He gave Jesus ALL of them, as we are told that Jesus received God’s Spirit without measure.

We see at Pentecost men received different elements to God’s Spirit,…[Read more]
