Whatever are we to do with these verses?

Matthew 28:18-20 – And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo,I…

Nick,Are you saying Yeshua was merely an anointed man? Your posts are leading to that IMO. What kept him from sin? What was his redemptive value? Merely being the only sinless man?Did he receive full knowledge of his mission before or after his anointing?And how is Yeshua devalued if he came with any advantages? Do you have scripture to support…[Read more]

Nick,Yes, Yeshua came as Superman. We all thought he was the Son of God, but he is really the son of Jor-El. He merely wore robes instead of tights and a cape in those days .They didn't hang him on a cross, they threw him in a kryptonite pit.Jeepers, what was that question about? And what's with the 1 John verses? You're method of listing verses…[Read more]

Quote (Cult Buster @ July 11 2007,00:55)A favorite passage of mine on this topic would have to be Isaiah 6:3 where it says, “And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” Did you catch that? That's one “holy” for each person of the Godhead!Haha, you've solved the true mystery…[Read more]

Quote (Cult Buster @ July 11 2007,00:43)Phi 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: In what way was Yeshua equal with God? The first phrase said he was in the form of God, could it be that he was giving up this form to take on the form of Man? And how can one be equal to God if he is supposed to be God?…[Read more]

My post is not a support of Jehovah Witness theology, it is mere a response to erroneous interpretation.

Context, context, context.Matthew 15:21-28

21 Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.”23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and…

Nick,No I do not think the Son is God. I believe the Word was manifest in the Son of God. I believe Yeshua was the ultimate revelation of God because he showed the world who God is. He was more than just the Word, he was the Word become flesh, just as it says. However, it would be difficult to distinguish the Word from God before Yeshua came. I…[Read more]

Correction: “wild olives” not “wild branches” .

Nick,You are the 2nd person in many days that has asserted that the olive tree is Israel. It is not. Why do you think Paul calls the Gentiles the “wild branches”? The root of the olive tree is Abraham, because to him was the promise made that “all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen 22:18, 18:18). If the olive tree was Israel, we would…[Read more]

First, I must say that this is a silly thread. Sorry, had to get that out of the way . Why is it silly? Well, we cannot guess whether or not Yeshua meant what he said or not, we must simply accept that he said it, and that it was true.We know Yeshua was a Jew and came for the Jews. But his own rejected him (Mark 8:31, Luke 17:25) and put him to…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Your explanation on the difference between what Jesus did in John and what happened on the day of Pentacost is some heavy eisegesis . Thanks in any case.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 07 2007,08:04)ps You say”The next odd moment involving the Beloved Disciple was not recorded in any other place, but I find it to be out of character for Jesus. You can be the judge but this may just be a side note instead of an issue.John 21:30-22 – Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them;…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 07 2007,08:00)Not so. It does not say Peter alone.It just mentions Peter.God usually requires witnesses.John is not a reporter from the local rag like the other three and prefers theme to detail and expressing love and motive rather than just fact.Thanks Nick. Sadly, this answer is merely apologetic.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 07 2007,08:07)Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a different thing from receiving the Spirit.Scripture reference please.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 07 2007,07:53)The gospels were written some time after the events and were done by the ability of the Holy Spirit  promised by Jesus of bringing things back to their remembrance. Around a busy table these events could have been sequential. John could have been answered first and then, being overheard, others may have got…[Read more]
