The generations given in Matthew contain all the needed elements to fulfill God’s prophecies, that God would be a Father to the son of Solomon, David, and Abraham.

The promise was that God WOULD BE A FATHER unto THEIR SON, THEIR OFFSPRING, NOT that God would send His already existing offspring to be made into their offspring. That is backwards,…[Read more]

Anthony a verse is connected to all other verses. One verse aids in the understanding of another. I know you know that!

Verses are held in the context of not just it’s chapter but with the entire bible. I’m sure you know that as well.

LOGIC, when it comes to debating scripture, does exist. It exist when a person gives an understanding to a verse…[Read more]

Thanks Nick, but it does causes me to read more and more scriptures, and it has caused me to have a greater understanding myself, and I love that it has caused me to have so many verses ingrained in my head now!!

To break down my long post,

Folks I’d appreciate it if you could address the follow question.

Why was Jesus born from a virgin? Answer, give scripture and understanding

My answer:

Jesus was born from a virgin because God had promised it as a SIGN unto the house of David, due to the threat of the tribe of Ephraim. By this sign they would kn…[Read more]

Whoa, didn’t realize how long my last post was!

LU, you said

“No Nick, not a gamete. The Son in spirit form was brought forth into Mary’s womb where He united with the flesh of a developing human being when Mary conceived.”

In order for Jesus to be a MAN, a human being he needed a HUMAN SPERM and a HUMAN EGG.

LU do you deny that it is the Son of MAN WHO FOREGIVES your SINS?

6 But that ye m…[Read more]

To ALL,

Yes Nick Jesus did not sin before his anointing. The Spirit of God was with him prior to his anointing, but the Spirit was given without measure unto him at his anointing, and it caused several things.

Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

verses after his…[Read more]

Hi LU,

You said, “Do you think that you can receiveth the Father apart from the Son?”

No I do not, because the purpose of the Son was to bring us to FAITH in God.

1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest…[Read more]

Thank you Gene for you encouraging words of support.

Yes Ed J, I would say that others are presenting a false Christ and thus a false gospel.

A Christ identified as having glory and honor because he pre-existed eternally is a false Christ. Such is taught in most churches, where the focus is on how great God is for becoming a human in order to…[Read more]

Isaiah 46: 9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth…[Read more]

Anthony,

The child WAS said to have been BORN the SON of DAVID, and it was also said that the child born shall be called the Son of God.

Notice Anthony the passage says that God is going to give Jesus the throne of his father David. Jesus was born of the flesh as a son of David. The child that is born of the flesh that is the son of David shall…[Read more]

Good Morning LU,

Here is what Isaiah SAW, he saw the ARM of the LORD that men rejected, A MAN that shed his blood for you.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall…[Read more]

LU,

I will address each one of your examples where you try and prove that Jesus is Jehovah and show it to be false.

I will start with this one,

In Isaiah 43:10-11 and 45:21 JEHOVAH declares Himself to be the ONLY SAVIOUR. There is no other Saviour besides Him! According to the New Testament, Who is the ONLY SAVIOUR (Acts 4:10-12)?

2 Kings 13:5…[Read more]

AndrewAD,

First and foremost the PROPHECIES in the OT state that the coming Messiah would be a MAN of the seed of David of the root of Jesse, that God would begat this MAN, and would MAKE this MAN his firstborn, and that a savior would come FROM among the clan of Judah.

2 Samuel 7: 12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy…[Read more]

Ed J,

The Holy Spirit came upon Mary before her and Joseph were together, Mary was found to be with child through an act of God.

The virgin birth is spoken of in the OT, ALSO spoken in the OT is that Jesus would be of the seed of David.

Why would God want to cause a virgin to be pregnant other than to make it clear that God has indeed brought…[Read more]

Hi Ed J and ALL,

GENERATION –a book of one’s LINEAGE in which his ancestry or progeny are enumerated.

Matthew gives the ancestry of Jesus going from Abraham to Joseph.

That’s RIGHT, JESUS being of the blood of Joseph all the way back to Abraham!!

How PERFECT is God’s word and His promises that went all the way back to Abraham, and then His…[Read more]

Ed J,

The goings forth of a ruler over Israel that would be of the tribe of Judah was set BEFORE time even began, before God made the worlds and promised eternal life to humans. God is all knowing and knew the future, He directs the future, the future exists according to His work and plan.

The verse in Micah 5 does not declare the pre-existence…[Read more]

Ed J,

Micah 5:2 (NIV) “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

Hi Nick,

They mean the same thing. He became that which he received. When Jesus was raised from the dead he received the firstfruits of God’s Spirit, becoming an eternal man.

The fruit of God’s Spirit eternal life

He received immortality and became immortal.

Good Morning Lu,

Here is YOUR FOUNDATION,

ADOPTION is the termed used for the REDEMPTION of the BODY, which Jesus is the FIRST to receive that adoption. 

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
