Hi All,
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Me: David was conceived in iniquity. We are conceived with enmity towards God. Even to have hate in your heart is sin.
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then…[Read more]

Hi Nick,
How do you know that King NEBUCHADNEZZAR did not know what the son of God looked like? You have to infer that he did.
Dan 3:25 He ( King NEBUCHADNEZZAR) answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Go…[Read more]

Jodi, please explain
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
How was the Word which is God, made flesh?

Question:
Job 25:4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

Jodi,

No, Gene,
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the…[Read more]

Hi All,
To say that Christ did not have the spirit of God until Jordan and that John the Baptist did at birth is complete folly and shows a lack of understanding of who the Messiah is and the true sacrifice that is of God through man.

Hi Anthony,
You: Elohim, notoriously and purposefully takes singular verbs almost always, with few exceptions. Here is what I am looking to put forth today: “Elohim”communicates plurality even when it is used singularly. We can know this because:

Hi Anthony,
Me: Christ is not God incarnate. He is not the Word incarnate. He is not the Word of God with a body all at once. God does not change. The Word (exact spirit image of God’s mind) was conceived in and with the human Messiah’s mind and body. As God Almighty cannot change, the Word could not change because it is the exact spirit ima…[Read more]

Hi Anthony,
You: I think this is very significant and important because it has a bearing on Christ as to His nature and His situation as “the Son of God” and “the only begotten Son of God”(John 3:18). Notice that the term “only-begotten” takes on new importance when you realize there are other Sons of God in the mix.
