AndrewAD,
Youtube is not necessarily a reliable source. Test the spirit of what you hear. Offhand I believe Joyner and Bentley are both heretics. The rest could be true as well as it does not change my view at all.

Jesus said he was the Light of the world only as long as he was in the world.
He is the light and the way as those are his characteristics. He provides the path upon which his students sail and the light that keeps them from the reveals the rocks. Strive to get and stay on that narrow path.

Nick,
I do not believe John was inserting Jesus in the beginning, even in the way you say. I believe he was literally speaking about the Word of God. In many English language translation the Word of God is personalized but all I know that does that is the arbitrary choice of translators to translate the Koine Greek pronouns that we addressing…[Read more]

Could you tell me the definitions of the word “was”?

Jesus (shell/body) + Word of God = Jesus Christ?
Jesus contributes more than his body. He is a human being and therefore contributes the inner and outer being of a human being, which is equivalent to the three part of a human: their body, soul, and spirit.
God’s Spirit contributes the very Word that is uttered by God.

I knew the Millenium Bug was not as big a deal as the media put on. It was intentional programming and a fair share of the programs were obsolete before it even became an issue.
I might have has some inside information since I was in computer science degree at that time.

Bodhitharta,
Trinitarians always engage in confusion as their teaching is broken as well as false.
The argument Nick quoted is true but it does not prove that is what the words “firstborn of creation” mean. Since it uses the title Son it may be talking about God’s Spirit in the same way Proverbs speaks about Wisdom.
If it is then the…[Read more]

It denies the Father and the Son less than the Trinity as the later accuses God of being tempted by sin.
The God of Jesus, and his James, cannot be tempted by sin can yours?
The God of Islam cannot be tempted by sin.

Islam does not prohibit use of the word Father to refer to God. They also claim God has many sons. They do not except the idea that Jesus was the offspring of God’s body. I do not even think they agree with your idea as it is equivalent of claiming Jesus is the bodily child of God.
As far as I know, they do not address my teaching that…[Read more]

DavidL,
Reasoning is basic to our natural understanding, but when it comes to comprehending spiritual realities – it simply falls short.
There is a reasoning that is based on godless understanding but not all reasoning is godless in nature or Paul would have been sinning even as he reasoned in the marketplace of Athens. Godless reasoning is b…[Read more]

Bodhitharta,
Thank you for clarifying your point.
Jesus sacrificed himself by going to the slaughter as meekly as a lamb instead of calling legions of angels to defend him. He told Peter that when the later struck of the ear of one of those that came to capture Jesus. The evidence appears to reveal that those coming to seize him were afraid of…[Read more]

The Lord of my country is President Obama. The only thing I see is his image, just I have seen Jesus’ image. He is hidden from me, just as Jesus is.
Jesus is in a far country as this time and we just await his return.
If God wanted to send us news clips that had his image in them then we would be sent those news clips.

Jesus was sent by God and spiritually he came from God. Jesus often speaks of the spiritual nature and not of the soulish nature, or the physical nature.

Gene,
I did find a related word that is a plural word used as a singular in relation to God and may mean something like he has multiple reigns just like Elohim means that he has multiple powers. My source was of poor quality.

I could not find it. I did find out that Adonis is a Greek god that was stolen from the Phoneticians, aka Canaanites. That is why I asked that you would give your sources.
