Hi All,

There is but ONE GOD THE FATHER WHO IS ABOVE ALL, His name is YHVH and He ALONE by HIMSELF made heaven, earth, and all things.

You can know this clearly by reading the below passages.

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.…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

Below is the passage that folks connect to John 1:1 and equate Jesus to be “the Word”.

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

This is why Gene spoke to LU about how Jesus has been given many names/titles, making the point that as he is called the Lamb of God, that doesn’t…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

Yay!! It is very nice when we agree!

Thank you,  Jodi

Hi All,

I would like to hear people’s explanation as to why our heavenly Father would go and forgive all the worlds sins through the death of one man?

Thanks,  Jodi

Hi Pilgrim,

YOU:

When Jesus prior to His ascension told the disciples to wait for “the promise of the Father” he was speaking of the baptism with the Holy Ghost when they “receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and be witnesses” unto Jesus everywhere they were sent.

ME: Jesus had the Spirit OF God upon him without measure…[Read more]

Hi Pilgrim,

YOU:

Indeed in Matthew 10:20 we read Jesus said to his disciples “the Spirit of  your Father” will speak in them. But we know from Mark 13:11 and Luke 12:12 that that Spirit is the Holy Ghost. Now if as you say “the Holy Spirit is our one true God our Heavenly Father”, you are saying Christ (the raised and exalted Man) received…[Read more]

Good Morning Pilgrim,

Pilgrim, our ONE TRUE HOLY GOD the Father who is ABOVE ALL, HIS OWN Spirit is THE Holy Spirit.

As said, the Spirit of our God the Father is righteous and is our SOURCE to gain our own righteousness, the Spirit of our Father is all knowing having infinite wisdom and is our SOURCE to gaining wisdom and knowing that which is t…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

John 3:16 For God so loved the world,

as to give his only begotten Son:

that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting

In the above, Jesus asserted THAT BEFORE HE DIED,

HE WAS ALREADY THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, AND ALSO

ETERNAL LIFE.

ME: First of all the Son was made perfect through learning…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

I was just reading your point to LU, about how it was the Jews false perception that Jesus had actually broke the Sabbath commandment, very good point. So I also see your point that if the author was again giving the Pharisees perception, we don’t take their perception as true.

Now certainly if the Pharisees believed that to be a Son of…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

YOU:

JESUS IS THE DIVINE SON OF GOD

JOHN5 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

ME: Let’s look at what the text goes onto say,

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18 Therefore…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

ME: So the heavenly Father”did not forgive us of our sins through sending down God “……

YOU: HE DO NOT SEND DOWN GOD BUT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON….DIFFERENCE JODI.

THE SON OF GOD IS GOD(the same nature as the Father) IN THE FLESH

AND “THE WORD” WAS GOD…..AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH….

ME: You said that the Son of God IS GOD, so there is N…[Read more]

Hi Pilgrim,

YOU: To say the FATHER is Spirit and the WORD is Spirit and the HOLY SPIRIT is Spirit is simply stating they share the same nature. It does not mean the WORD is the HOLY SPIRIT. Men and Women are humans. They share the same nature but Men are not therefore Women. Together they are MAN(kind) in the image and likeness of ELOHIM. The…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

Those who are saved have been BORN of the Spirit of FAITH, yes I have been begotten by God!!  I have been born of the Spirit of LOVE and KINDNESS as well, but I don’t have the fullness of God’s Spirit dwelling in me.

I fall short, and mortify my deeds. I recognize when I am going the wrong way or did go the wrong way, and I pray to God…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

I only see in scripture there being 2 verses that contain the words “the Spirit of Christ”.

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

1 Peter 1:10-11 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

No they certainly don’t do they, and their doctrines are just immersed in so much mystery.

Because God’s word connects to make perfect sense that is why I have faith in it that it is true.

They instead would like us to believe in doctrines that don’t add up with scripture, where their idea of faith is about believing unexplainable…[Read more]

Hi Ed J and Gene,

I am in agreement with Gene.

At Pentecost the Holy Spirit came unto people BY MEASURE, giving people certain gifts of the Spirit so they could bring others into the faith of the one true God our heavenly Father, and to His Son Jesus Christ. Their faith counts as their righteousness where they are thus seen as worthy to be heirs…[Read more]

Hi All,

recall the previous posted verses I gave from John 1, 1 John 1, Titus 1 and Isaiah 45 and apply,

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,

Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul…[Read more]

Hi All,

John 1 is about the anointing of a man who then becomes a light unto all people. The Spirit in the anointed Jesus makes him a light. When we see the anointed Jesus we see the Spirit of YHVH working in him, we see YHVH ALL IN him, the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Council and Might, Knowledge and Fear of YHVH ALL IN him.

A man is…[Read more]

Hi All,

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend…[Read more]
