Free Will:Philemon 1:14 … but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will.2 Corinthians 8:3 … I assure you that by their own free will they have given all they could, even more than they could afford. …Ezekiel 46:12 …when the prince maketh a…[Read more]

Hi people,I just came across this where Co says: Quote When discussing “free will” you state …”I do not know what definition Choosenone uses”. Are there different definitions of free will? No where in scripture is “free will” mentioned, therefore I do not have a definition of it, because there is no context to define it in.There are many…[Read more]

Terra,There is nothing in scripture that makes claim to whether Jesus was created or not – The only thing we know is that he was “Begotten of God” and after that we move into the area of speculation (where everyone's plausible views must be acknowledged as possible!)Mine is this:Begetting is not the same as “Giving Birth to” nor “Being Created”…[Read more]

P2A,Of course it is true that parts of the bible is not literal – no one said otherwise and those who read with discernment and have the spirit can easily see the different parts. And definitely there are deeper meanings – those things will only be revealed by the Holy Spirit acting through Christ to those who are chosen to receive it. Meanwhile…[Read more]

B, Thanks for the supporting responses.You need not look far for God's view on all this – It is written in the Scriptures for all to learn from.But don't think that we can change them – it has been predestined that many will go down with the Great Dragon and the Beast.Does not mean we should not try to get them to change – just not despair at the…[Read more]

Terra,What you say could be me speaking also. Ask me if I am thrilled…?Lu, also but this bit … Like Terra, I'm not so sure.By coincident … I was looking into this matter earlier this morning.Question 1: By the Scriptures – at what point or time was Jesus 'Begotten'?Question 2: What is the meaning of the Word 'Beget'/'Begotten'?Question 3:…[Read more]

Hi and welcome One,As a child my parents tried to make me wear a cross on a chain – they said it would help to protect me from harm bh the Devil but I refused.Satan will try all sorts of things to get us to direct attention and the rightful Worship from God the Father.How many people make pilgramages to the Holyland to worship at the cave where…[Read more]

Terra,Thank you, may God continue to maintain his spirit in you through his Son.This morning when I woke (I'm in the Uk) I felt like I had had a revelation but I can't write it now.I will write what I have been inspired to write. If it is wrong, may God forgive me but if true then Hallelluah!So, later, then… In God's name and the name of…

Have a read of : Proverbs 8:22-31. I am not saying it is Jesus but how wonderful it would be if this were.

So it could be said that Jesus was “prepared” from before time for this saviour role and was not a created being like the Angels and Mankind. Certainly, Jesus was NOT a God like Trinitarians like to make out (There can be ONLY ONE God)

God is ALL KNOWING (Omniscient) and knew that sin would come into his human creation and he prepared for it by setting aside ONE who would become a sacrificial Lamb who would shed his blood for the salvation of mankind and atone for their sin. The Word, Jesus, was that ONE.

Lu, this is not a question that can be easily discerned from scripture. And this has a bone of contention with Trinitarians and others.Jesus, himself, says that he was “With the father during the creation of the universe, the earth and mankind” and the scriptures tells us that he was the “Word of God”, John 1:1. and that Jesus “Proceeded from the…[Read more]

Terra, the Holy Spirit is in you – May you continue so and have life in God through Christ. Praise God and his Son for they are worthy says the angels. Worship God. Amen.

Lu, I didn't mention whether or not Jesus also existed from and to eternity as the focus is on the Most High God – but just to in case you ask: Hebrews 13:8 says “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.”God Bless you.

Lu, Most certainly, and I don't think there is anyone who disagrees who is a Christian. I don't know your faith so I presumed Christian.For to me there is one God (there can only be ONE God by the very definition of God) who is in all and above all – the almighty Jehovah (our rendering of YHWH) who has existed from eternity, is existing now and…[Read more]

Nick, Will or Spirit …Take nothing away – Terra is correct in assertions made. Glory to Terra – Terra has the truth in Christ but Worship to God!

Even one MAN can say to another Man: “Blessing and honor and glory and power” to you. You might say it rightly to a king or queen, for instance!

TT said:Quote Gene claims that he worships the Father only. But the whole creation worships the Father and the Son:”And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: 'Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne,…[Read more]

The concentration on the minutae of the scriptures and things unproveable does hurt God when he sees us doing this. That is why there is Faith.I said in another forum that people arguing about whether Jesus had God DNA or not was pointless – the sort of things the Greeks … (scripture verse: “…Who seek Wisdom”) would do day and night, some as a…[Read more]

Nick,As this is a vision of heaven could the Seven Spirits of God not represent the seven gifts of the ONE Spirit.”These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God””When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father””which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth”No where prior to Revelations is there…[Read more]
