Hi Gadam,

John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

The above scripture is clearly speaking of his resurrection from the grave where he then walked on the earth once more…[Read more]

Hi Gadam,

Hi Gadam,

Yes I did mean John 17!

Yep, I still agree with Gene, there is no such thing as having a “free will”.

Gene said, “Your WILL is what your mind “produces”, therefore it is held “captive” by what’s going on “in” your mind.”

Exactly!!

… and what’s going on in your mind is the result of your past experiences, your current state of knowledge/w…[Read more]

Hi Gadam,

Acts 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

If they are not of the world and they are being sent into the world, where are they from?

They are from heaven, in other w…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

I gave you ample scriptures that contradict your belief and you couldn’t respond addressing not even one of them, it is pointless to discuss scripture with you if we can’t go over the same scriptures. Can you tie in the passages you just gave me with the ones that I gave you and show how the word of God is all united?

Yes, Jesus…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Let me continue,

Acts 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU:

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

Jesus comes from above
He is the creator of all things, he is before all things, all things subsist in him … (see Colossians, Hebrews, Joh…[Read more]

Hi Gadam,

Thanks for giving your understanding and some of the OT passages you believe are referring to a coming Messiah. Knowing your understanding is helpful in responding to your other post, 891807.

If I interpreted the NT passages that you gave from that post as you do, I would reach the same conclusions as you do, but I don’t. Seems like…[Read more]

Hi Gadam,

Thanks for your reply!

Once again I apologize as I am sure you have gone over this well in other posts but at this point I don’t know the answers to your belief in the below questions so much appreciated if you wouldn’t mind going over them with me.

Does the OT give prophecy to a coming Messiah, if so which prophecies do you believe…[Read more]

Hi Gadam,

The prophets were messengers from God and what about Moses, did he part the Red Sea all by himself? Jesus spoke the words of God just like the prophets and he performed miraculous works like that of Moses. Such was all God’s activity as I see it.

Hi Proclaimer,

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I AM the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Isaiah 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

My understanding of Luke 2:10-11 is of sound reasoning, the angel was most likely not ignorant of prophecy concerning the child and thus declared that which the child was according to prophecy.

The passage thus does not teach by any means in and of itself that Jesus must have pre-existed.

It is unfortunate that your response does…[Read more]

Hi All,

I don’t even know where to begin!

I have studied the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry, our government and the healthcare system for over a decade. We are talking about hundreds and hundreds of hours, reading peer reviewed journal articles and documents obtained by the Freedom of Information Act. Bill Gates and Fauci are devils,…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

I am 100% with you on this!

This is the position of my husband and I, he found this gem on Thursday and texted it to me.

Hi Gadam,

Sorry, I don’t have the time to go back and read through everything so I hope that you don’t mind starting things from here. If there is something I say that you have clearly addressed in a specific post please give me the post number and I am happy to go back and read it.

The RCC turned the glory of Jesus into shame, they turned him…[Read more]

To All,

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 of his kingdom there shall be no…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

YOU:

Luke 2:11
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

It doesn’t say ‘he will be’.

ME:

The Old Testament is filled with prophecy of a coming savior. We are given prophecy of a son of David who would have YHVH’s Spirit come to rest upon, an anointing, where he would deliver capti…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

YOU:

Luke 2:11
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

It doesn’t say ‘he will be’.

ME: Let’s emphasize how your point is how the text says “he is” verses “he will be”.  I find this interesting given that in the past you have not applied this very reasoning to a different passag…[Read more]

Hi Adam,

YOU:

B. Suffering Servant:
Christianity claims that Isaiah chapter 53 refers to Jesus, as the “suffering servant.”

In actuality, Isaiah 53 directly follows the theme of chapter 52, describing the exile and redemption of the Jewish people. The prophecies are written in the singular form because the Jews (“Israel”) are regarded as one un…[Read more]
