Seems like you has no contest of what was last posted. It would be wise to accept this, t8 instead of hoping it will go away and be forgotten about, don’t you think?!

I am memorizing the first several verses in 2 Peter 1. This is a good verse, want to hide it in your heart too?

Been busy with out of town guests, Gene. Will reply soon. Thanks for your patience!

Bo, the God of gods glorified the Lord of lords and the Lord of lords glorifies the God of gods. They serve each other.

Various crowns will be given after the bodily resurrection, Bo. Realize that judgements can be both good and bad.

I was pointing out that there were events that happened during eternity before creation.

For example:

God chosen…

God ordained…

The actions of choosing and ordaining took place before creation.

The action of begetting a Son took place before creation also, it had to in order for the Son to make creation.

Yes, I am part of the “we” since I believe that Jehovah is the one God, the Father and the one Lord, Jesus Christ.

Before Jesus became the Messiah, He was not a man but a creator of man with His Father. When He became a man according to his flesh, He was anointed as the Messiah.

May God bless you with a fuller revelation of Himself, Nick.

Yes, He is going to raise the bodies and judge the believers with the judgement at the “The Judgment Seat of Christ.”

The Judgment Seat of Christ

The first future judgment derives its name from two passages where the term “Judgment Seat of Christ” appears:

For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10).

For we mus…

The Lord is the Spirit. We have one Lord, Jesus Christ.

@t8
For the Christians, there is one God the Father and one Lord, Jesus Christ which together make up the one True God in His fullest sense as Jehovah the God of gods and the Lord of lords.

Eternity has an eternal beginning and in that beginning, God created…[Read more]

@bodhitharta

you asked:

So “Today I have begotten you” means there was a point in time in which he was begotten, right?

Time is relative as to who’s perspective you are referring to, man’s or God’s. The day the Son was begotten was a specific event which happened before creation. He existed before this event in a pre-begotten state.

@ bodhitharta

Remember this regarding how the Son is God, different from others who might be called god.

How is Jesus as theos different from others who are called theos (other than the Father)?

The disciples prayed to Jesus and none of the others who are called theos (other than the Father).

No other theos (other than the Father) can forgive…[Read more]

you asked:

You use intellectual arguments to try to understand what is spiritual?

I use the New Testament of God to explain the Old Testament. You do realize that the NT sheds light on the OT, don’t you, Nick.

@bodhitharta
Hebrews 5:5 doesn’t have the word ‘father’ in the Greek so it doesn’t literally say what you quoted. Here is a more literal translation:
5So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him,
“YOU ARE MY SON,
TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU”;

Nick
you said:

Part of God yet distinct from God?

Sounds like mystery babylon.

Every son I have is a part of me yet distinct from me. Doctors usually understand this about sons.
