Hi Berean,

Here are the other 3 questions,

2. He who is born of God cannot sin and thus he is perfect in righteousness?

3 (reworded). God putting His Spirit within you causes you to walk in His statutes and keep His judgements, thus you cannot sin?

4.  Being born of God is God putting His Spirit within you?

Good Morning Berean,

You did not answer my first question.

1. Jesus (the Son of God) and his true believers are all made children of God in the same way, by being born of God?

Let me rephrase the question,

According to 1 John 3, the Son of God and the children of God are all made God’s children in the SAME WAY, by being BORN OF GOD.

Hi Proclaimer,

Please read and appropriately respond.

YOU to Gene:

Wrong!

If he existed in the form of God, then he is not like us. But if he further emptied himself and came in the flesh and lived as a baby, infant, teenager, man, then he is indeed like us. so your accusation is incorrect. Further, since he is back in the glory he had with…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

When reading John 17,

Image Jesus was a man, for he was a man.

Now image Jesus believed that he was the man of YHVH’s prophecies and thus knew well Isaiah 11, 46, 53, 1 Chronicles 17, Psalms 2, 8, 89 and many more concerning himself.

Now remember Jesus’s words, “And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

I guess it’s time for some yes or no answers  so I can understand your thought process. I will present the scriptures that I am specifically drawing my questions out from. Please feel free to elaborate on your yes or no answer or raise issue with the question I presented itself.

1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he…[Read more]

Hi Desire Truth,

Going back through and reading some posts and I appreciate your closer examination of Proverbs 30!

Berean,

YOU: Proverbs 30:4 IS saying THAT God hath a Son BEFORE THIS ONE IS MADE FLESH.

ME: It says no such thing it’s speaking of prophecy that aligns perfectly with 1 Chronicles 17 and other passages. 

Prov 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment?…[Read more]

Good Morning Berean,

Prov 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

Hi Carmel,

NO, what you say is all wrong.

Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU: There is a difference between being born of the Spirit and “the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him”

ME: Please further explain your position with scripture. 

Being born of God IS to have God’s Spirit coming to rest upon you, abode in you.

Matthew 3:16 and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

ME: When Jesus was baptized he then was born of God’s Spirit where he was called to righteousness and could not sin. He died but then was raised having received God’s Spirit.

YOU: I’m sorry, no scripture AFFIRM this.

ME:

AFFIRMATION is right here in the below passages. 

1. Jesus was baptized/Matthew 3 and 20, Mark 1 and 10.
2. J…

Hi Berean,

You have a correct statement, “the Son of God knew no sin”.

When Jesus was baptized he then was born of God’s Spirit where he was called to righteousness and could not sin. He died but then was raised having received God’s Spirit.

Would you mind speaking specifically to these 3 passages below?

Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Let’s take a look at the surrounding text of John 12:45 and how we can apply it all to other passages where then the truth can be established.

44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Your assessment is rather inaccurate.

Repeating scriptures many times over that connect directly with each other and outlining the facts that are held in them because you continue not to apply any of it, and much of it you won’t even address, is not me going around in circles being thirsty. Debating with you that causes me to read…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Apply the fact that the child Jesus, son of David, was a human to whom many prophesies written in the OT would be fulfilled in him.  In scripture Jesus is given this identity, called what he is ACCORDING TO PROPHECY that will be fulfilled in him.

Matthew 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Paul is speaking of CHRIST who is the ANOINTED JESUS. Jesus was baptized and then was called to righteousness, begotten of God’s Spirit without measure at the river Jordan, by such he could not sin and therefore the ANOINTED JESUS knew no sin.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are…[Read more]

Good Morning Berean,

John didn’t know that he needed to baptize Jesus, he actually thought otherwise, and Jesus said it must be done in order to fulfill all righteousness, what does that tell you?

Matthew 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of…[Read more]

First thing to recognize is Jesus suffered and then entered into his glory when he rose from the dead and was a flesh and bones immortal human being. That indeed was glory and was a promise fulfilled that had been of God for him and all of mankind since before the world began, where Jesus became a firstborn of many of eternal life.

Then Jesus…[Read more]

Hi All,

After Jesus had risen from the dead he said,

Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

No man of his own is capable of keeping one letter of the law, one needs God’s Spirit. God gives His…[Read more]
