Hi Gene,

Thank you, your post was well stated and clear to Berean!

Hello All,

There can be NO CONTRADICTIONS!

Jesus IS an anthropos (HUMAN BEING) not some half-breed one of a kind being, nor is he some return to a previous being. He is a human being with God’s Spirit within him at a measure that makes him a heavenly man, a man who is led by the Spirit in all things and thus is a Son of God.

1 Corinthians 15:21…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

You produce contradictions with your understanding and there can be no contradictions.

Psalms 33:6 “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”

YHVH’s word, YHVH’s own breath from His own MOUTH Berean!

Your response to me had not one word about the passages from Isaiah tha…[Read more]

Hi LU,

Thank you, I’m doing pretty good! I hope all is well with you too!

YOU:

Regarding 1 John 2:23

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

From what I understand of your beliefs, you deny that there was a Son of God that existed in a living way in the image of his father, before…[Read more]

Hi Danny,

Thanks for your reply!

YOU:

Hi Jodi, Who came in the flesh?

words or Jesus Christ?

Jesus came in the flesh and “is” still coming in the flesh today. Christ in you the hope of glory (Col 1:27).

1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

John use…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

I believe that your interpretation of various scriptures create contradictions with other scriptures.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let…[Read more]

Hi All, 

As said prior, the fact of the matter is, we can read multiple scriptures that say, “THE WORD” as well as multiple scriptures that say, “THE WORD OF GOD”, where they represent different truths, different declarations, and different promises.

Our ONE God the Father’s Spirit is All Powerful and through His Word His Power, His Truth, H…[Read more]

Good Morning Berean,

Yes Rev 19:13 is about Jesus Christ and in my post I made that very clear.

My point with the scriptures I gave was that Jesus being given a name that is called “The Word of God”, has everything to do with the verses that come directly after verse 13, specifically verse 15. So in other words, we are given what his name is…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

“his name is called The Word of God” does not prove “The Word” from John 1:1 must then be Jesus.

The fact of the matter is, we can read multiple scriptures that say, “THE WORD” as well as multiple scriptures that say, “THE WORD OF GOD”, where they represent different truths, different declarations, and different promises.

The Word is…[Read more]

Hi Danny,

“The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

My understanding to the above passage is this,

YHVH spoke to the prophet Isaiah where The Word given was that the son of Jesse would receive YHVH’s Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom, Und…[Read more]

Hi All,

John 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh THE WORDS of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

John 6:63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: THE WORDS that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Thanks for the welcome back! I think it’s been a few months that I’ve been gone but it seems like discussions are right where I left off.

Hi LU,

Those who are fathers existed before they became fathers.

1 John 2:23 does not speak to that “if the Father does not exist, neither does the Son.”

The passage is about ones faith and if you don’t believe in the Son then you don’t truthfully believe either in our “One God the Father”, because after all Jesus upon receiving the Spirit of…[Read more]

Good Morning Berean,

YOU: Jesus used his divine power not for himself (to relieve his appetite in the desert, for example) but according to the will of God and for his glory and for the good of mankind.

ME: Jesus used the power of the Spirit that had descended upon him like a dove, where he “left the river Jordan having been FILLED with the…[Read more]

Proclaimer,

Gene does NOT speak with a forked tongue, you just don’t get it at all.

What a person is taught and how they are treated when they are taught, directly affects the decisions that they make.

So one may be given the freedom to make a choice, but the choice that they make is DEPENENT upon what they were taught and how they were treated.

Proclaimer,

YOU:

We too have this choice. Deny the flesh and let the Spirit lead and guide us instead. A choice we are given. Up to us.

ME:  Uh, apparently you have not comprehended at all what Paul teaches in Romans 7 and 9 as well as elsewhere.

It’s God’s mercy upon us, not self-righteousness. God’s mercy is GIVEN not chosen, and when it’s…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

You have made totally false assumptions about my view.

I gave you Romans 7 to read and Romans 9, you think that was just for no reason?

Jesus OVERCAME, he conquered his weak flesh and denied all temptation going to the cross as a lamb without spot or blemish, which he did BECAUSE the eternal Spirit was upon him without…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer

YOU:

I’ll make it simple for you gene.

One cause is our sinful nature. Another cause is the Spirit of God.

Now choose one because you are free to choose between the flesh and the spirit.

ME: 

You seem to treat our sinful nature as if it holds the same level of convincing power that God’s Spirit holds. You sure make YOUR God Pr…[Read more]

Hi Proclaimer,

YOU: …we truly make decisions via our will. We are free to choose.

ME: I agree with your above statement as it is written, and I will state the same in two other ways, 

I am free to use my own will to make choices.

I have the freedom to make choices where I use my will to make a decision. 

So we have the freedom to choose a…[Read more]

Proclaimer,

You:

This is why God can judge us. Because we truly make decisions via our will. We are free to choose.

Get over it Jodi. You and Gene always taking the opposing view of scripture.

ME:

I’m sorry it seems like you didn’t see or actually listening to my words,

“<span style=”color: #ff0000;”>We obviously are given the freedom to…[Read more]
