Oh and one more thing: Jesus says John 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Jesus is the SERVANT of GOD….God is his LORD….Jesus does not know what his Lord doeth…He does not k…

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.

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.

@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”;

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.

Think about it Nick, since I am offering evidence from the Bible and you are in disagreement with it, then you are calling the Bible a liar or maybe it is that you are in denial of truth. Read this objectively:

In the OT, things of God are done in the name of YHWH, in the NT, things of God are addressed to the Father, in the name of the Son.…[Read more]

The OT also calls Jesus the Lord God,they are both Jehovah as the God of gods and the Lord of lords. Jehovah is the Lord of lords in the OT, Jesus is identified as the Lord of lords in the NT…every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is YHVH (LORD).

That is talking about the bodies, not the souls. The souls are already with the LORD.

Nick,
If the Son of God is you Lord, then why do you not recognize Him as the Lord in the first commandment?

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

@Bodhitharta
Those that have died are no longer in Hades but in Paradise if they are believers in Jesus as the Messiah and their LORD.

Also, there would be no death if there was no evil, therefore, evil has the power of death and satan is the leader of evil. Jesus took away that power. People’s bodies still die but their soul goes to Paradise to…[Read more]

You are calling YHVH, the Lord of lords a demigod. YHVH the Lord of lords is the Word of YHVH, and YHVH who in the fullest sense is both God of gods and Lord of lords (Deut 10:17). Paul identifies them as Father and Son in 1 Cor 8:6. Someday even you will call Jesus ‘LORD’ (YHVH).
