you said:In short god = child of God
Well, I totally disagree with your equation there!
Please answer each question:
1. Based on what you claim, do you refer to Jesus as god?
2. Is Baal a child of God because he is a god to some?
3. Are Jesus’ brethren all children of God? Where does Jesus call His brethren “god/gods?”terraricca replied to the topic Let US make man in OUR image. in the forum Scriptural Teachings 10 years, 1 month ago
we have discussed many things, and it seems that you do not believe much from scriptures, and this is in direct opposition to me for I believe the scriptures, as being the very truth of God ,but not in one verse bUT as a whole.
My answer to you is based on our entire experience with each other’s exchange

you said:
According to you God is Jesus’ Father because Jesus is the same kind as him.
I wouldn’t say it like that exactly. I would say it this way:
Jesus is God’s only authentic son which would naturally make Him of the same kind as His father. Being the ONLY authentic son sets Him apart from all others that are called sons of God w…[Read more]Lightenup replied to the topic Does 1 Peter 2 imply that Jesus is God? in the forum Truth or Tradition 10 years, 1 month ago

You try to hold so tightly to your own reasoning. I have shown you many things in scripture that show that Jesus is a son of God, the kind that is after the kind of the father’s kind. He is called the firstborn over all creation, and God connected that with the light of day one for me. He is called the only begotten son of God.

There is no evidence in Scripture that God reproduces after his kind
Hmmmm…..
The Son is the exact reproduction of the Father.Heb 1:3
And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation (charaktér) of His nature…

Are you just now realizing that I am saying that the Son of God is a special, authentic offspring of God and the only son of God in this manner?

The Son of God existed before the cosmos was created. He became the Son of Man also. All things were created through Him and for Him.Btw, t8 did not make a point except that he can take things written out of context and twist them to try to discredit others. I’m not dodging a worthy challenge because I see none.

You speculate that Jesus is handing over the kingdom of Light to His Father. I don’t believe that is what is being talked about. Instead it is the Kingdom of Darkness that Jesus has abolished and handed over to the Father. The kingdom of Light already acknowledges the Father as God and ‘head’ of the Son. Christians in general do not…[Read more]Lightenup replied to the topic Does 1 Peter 2 imply that Jesus is God? in the forum Truth or Tradition 10 years, 1 month ago

you said:Jesus was not adopted.
Nevertheless consider that Isaac who was Abraham’s second child is called Abraham’s one and only child in Scripture despite the fact that Ismael is also Abraham’s child. Scripture chooses the call Isaac the one and only child because Isaac is the child of the promise and Ismael, though his brother, is no…
