Hi Berean,

You ask what Jesus was cleansed from, being as it was that he was indeed baptized.

I draw understanding from the below passages,

Luke 3:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins….21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

As always, thanks so much for your encouraging words!

I have very recently pieced together a few things,

That The Word of God from the beginning was His everlasting covenant. That covenant was fulfilled in Jesus which then opened it up to be fulfilled in all.

Scripture speaks a lot about God’s everlasting covenant and what we learn is…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

Luke 2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus…[Read more]

Proclaimer,

You said Jesus was begotten by God and yes, the human who at birth was given the name Jesus he, as in this man, was indeed begotten by God.

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoev…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU:

John3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The manifestation of the Father.
What language is to thought, Christ is to the invisible Father. He is the manifestation
of the Father, and it is called…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU:

How do you harmonize these two verses together ?

Thank you for your answer.

god bless

John 2:19

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Romans 8:11

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

As I specifically stated that you are interpreting certain scriptures wrong if they don’t align with the facts that the Son of a Human Being is sitting at God’s right hand at this moment and it is this human being who is returning to earth in our Father’s glory. Likewise, God’s promise is to give us a new heart of flesh and put His…[Read more]

Proclaimer,

The capital letter is at the discretion of the translator.

“The” is used with “word of God” all over the place. The definite article “the” relates to the noun that comes after it, “word”.

The simple fact of the matter is that the name that is written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, is the word of God spoken to us in many places…[Read more]

To All,

Jesus was a mortal man on earth.

Jesus knew the OT well, he quoted it and he quoted that which concerned himself.

The OT is full of scriptures that speak of the promised son of David, our Messiah, in ways that display this man being given glory or they directly even state the world glory. 

What I know that the mortal man Jesus himself…[Read more]

Proclaimer,

I don’t see how our analogy applies here honestly.

I see that you keep missing something, twice now you have said, “his name is the Word of God”.

Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is CALLED The Word of God.

Isaiah 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity…[Read more]

Hi All,

2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through <span style=”color: #ff0000;”>the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ</span>: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

YOU:

You have a problem with God created all things through The Word that was WITH God.

You have a problem with God creating the all things through Jesus Christ.

You have a problem with his name being ‘The Word of God’.

ME:

Your statements are totally false on what I have a problem with and you should know this by now…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

YOU:

Yes it seems you do have a problem with Jesus Christ coming in the flesh.

You have a problem with the Word becoming flesh.

ME:

Jesus Christ most certainly came in the flesh because Jesus was born a human being of flesh and when he was anointed of the Spirit he remained a human being of flesh.

Jesus is the NAME given to a…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

In one post you said, “If I believe that he existed in the form of God (divine nature) then emptying himself, and coming in the flesh then living as a baby like us and growing and learning like us into an adult, then how is it exactly that I separate him from humanity. I don’t. So please move on to other points that may be o…[Read more]

Good Morning All,

We are not robots nor puppets, we are given the freedom to make our own choices, but choices are made through what has influenced us, of which there is much therein that we did not have control over or say in. 

We also are NOT self-righteous, just as Jesus said, “only God is good”, the fruit of His Spirit is in all good…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

Let’s establish definitions!

Free will– the ability or discretion to choose; free choice. A person’s natural inclination; unforced choice.

So in other words we are free to use our own will to make our own choices, do you agree?

So now let’s talk about our own wills, the will of any individual.

A person’s own will is established…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

You said, “AND HE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHEN HE RETURNS AND IN BETWEEN”

The Son of Man returns in the glory of our Father, he returns where he has God’s Spirit upon him whereby he makes righteous judgments, judgments not by his own eyes and ears but through God directing all his ways.

This Son of Man returns to give true believers…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU: the Blood of Christ is the means by which we are cleansed/justified, sanctified, and ultimately glorified and this has been possible because Jesus is THE CREATIVE AND REDEMPTIVE WORD OF GOD FROM THE BEGINNING.

ME: I see that Gene has already spoke to this as well.

The blood of Christ is the means by which we are…[Read more]

Good Morning Berean,

Let’s start with this,

You provided, Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.”

This is direct prophecy

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow…[Read more]

Berean,

Stop bouncing around! Please speak to my first post on this topic discussing the scriptures that I gave.

Let me remind you of my position of Rev 19,

You are taking verse 13 away from it’s surrounding context, that which comes prior and after, so it fits in with your doctrine. That is deception not truth.

Rev 19 declares that there is a…[Read more]
