Good Morning Berean,

Yet again you have taken a passage and ignored the surrounding context to make it fit your doctrine, and you continue to not apply scripture with scripture,

Col 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the…[Read more]

Berean,

All things connect, this seems to be your problem and thus why you teach confusion and contradiction.

You say that Jesus represents the Word as meaning he pre-existed as God’s only begotten Son and spoke creation into existence.

What other passages speak regarding WHO Jesus is, including how he exists as a Son of God and when he was…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

I am going to highlight this again for everyone.

Does the chapter below give Jesus two names or just one name where that one name surrounds the word of God spoken by the prophets long ago?

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…[Read more]

Berean,

Do you make the connection of Jesus saying that God was IN him to the fact that we are told that God gave him His Spirit without measure?

Berean,

Your interpretation is in grave error and if you reviewed the context given in the entire chapter maybe it would not be so,

1 Timothy 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hos…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU:

IT IS THE SON WHO OFFERED HIMSELF AS AN OFFERING FOR SIN.

Behold, I come to do your will, O God (Heb.10:9)

ME: Jesus offered himself because God commanded him to do so, it was God’s plan and as you said God’s will and Jesus obeyed.

Jesus obeyed because he was the Son of Man who God had CALLED TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, where God would…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU:

1John.1
That which was from the beginning, (Christ time on earth)which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life(Jesus himself);
(For the life was manifested, ( Jesus is the way,the truth and the life)and we have seen it, and bear witness, and s…[Read more]

Hi All,

Col 1:16 For by him were ALL THINGS CREATED, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

God made Jesus lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).

God makes Jesus an eternal throne as was promised (1 Chronicles 17:12…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU:

Jesus did not use his divine CREATOR power…

ME: Your statement is off to me.

Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Tho…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

I see that you left out verse 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

and then Paul proceeds to give us the MIND/thinking of the anointed man JESUS,

Paul later in the chapter says,

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

I said, “In the beginning was the Word of one man who would come and execute God’s Word of Eternal Life.

Please acknowledge these passages,

Isaiah 46:10 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 b…[Read more]

Thank you Gene, I very much appreciate your backup and encouragement!

It will be a glorious day when all that is true becomes all that is known.

Keeping in mind that we are taught from scripture that,

In the beginning was the Word of Life and the Word of Eternal Life was with God before the world began and God Himself is Eternal.

In the beginning was the Word of one man who would come and execute God’s Word of Eternal Life.

Let’s look at what we are also given,

Acts 17:24-31 teaches u…[Read more]

Good Morning All,

Deuteronomy 33: 27 teaches us that our God is an Eternal God who is our refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

Titus 1:2 teaches us that our God promised eternal life before the world began

1 John 1:1-2 teaches us that from the beginning with God was His Word of Eternal Life and the resurrected Jesus who the people…[Read more]

Berean, in all honesty, to me it just seems like you want to avoid a number of scriptures that I use to support my belief because they discredit your own, you can’t give an explanation as to how those passages actually support your belief. If your doctrine is sound, if it is of truth, you really should be able to speak to those scriptures.

If I…[Read more]

Berean,

Can you speak to my point?

Jesus was able to do God’s works because he was anointed of the Spirit for that purpose.

Jesus was filled with the Spirit to do God’s works and Jesus said God was in him and that is how he was doing the works of God.

Jesus was declaring proof that he was God’s Son and that God was in him, by the works of God…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

It’s a bummer that you refuse to explain how the passages I give fit in perfectly with your doctrine.

Who can provide the best scriptural support to their belief? Who can interpret passages through the use of other passages verses interpreting through their own imagination? Who can interpret a passage where that understanding doesn’t…[Read more]

To All,

As I have shown from direct scriptures, John 1:14 is speaking of the Word of God of Isaiah being made true in the flesh of Jesus.

It was God’s word that unto a man He would give His glory to, that God would fill this man with His Spirit a calling to righteousness where this man would then be sent out to being full of grace and truth. The…[Read more]

Berean,

Col 2:8-9 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him DWELLETH all the fulness of the Godhead BODILY.

IN CHRIST Berean, not some pre-existing son, but in the Anointed MAN.

As said before, the man Jesus was MADE lord an…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Please review these passages if you don’t mind,

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us…[Read more]
