I believe we have gone over this. Once again, regarding gender of words whether Greek or Hebrew, the gender of words that have no obvious gender, like wisdom or head, are written as having gender. In Hebrew, nouns are either masculine or feminine. In Greek, nouns are either masculine or feminine or neuter. Wisdom is always a feminine noun…[Read more]

There are two beings who are both called theos in scripture. They both have dominion over all created things for ever and ever. One is the Son of the other.

If they were two different types of beings, they wouldn’t be father and son. The church is built on the truth that Jesus IS the Son. That is my belief also.

The Word was a person, the person of Jesus.

Regarding Jesus always being a Son of God even before creation:
I believe that this passage is talking about the person of Jesus and is symbolized as ‘wisdom.’ Something I believe that God showed me that has driven me into scriptures and changed my desire to study fervently was what happened to me when I asked God what was meant by the…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

Yep, the person of Jesus always existed within the Father.  Before the foundation of the world and before man was created or even sinned,  it was decided that He would  come and redeem us if necessary.

@kerwin,
you said:

We receive of God by faith that he the Promised One but it was put on him because he was chosen and God takes pleasure in him

His ‘sonship’ was not ‘put on Him.’ His position as the Messiah was put on him…He was always possessed by the Father as His very own son, but the plan of the Son becoming also the Messiah, was…[Read more]

@kerwin,
Jesus was already the Son of God and someday He was to be acknowledged so by man. Man’s acknowledgement does not make Him the Son of God.

We sure do read the same words with a different perspective, kerwin!

@kerwin,
Jesus did not have an evil desire ever even when He asked for another way to redeem man while being deeply grieved and asking the Father for the ‘cup’ to be removed. He simply wanted to know if there were any other way to please the Father and redeem man. That is not evil, it is communication, negotiation. He always wanted the redemption…[Read more]

Furthermore, a thought that God gave me today is for you:

You seem to have a great big problem with people who call Jesus, ‘God.’ These are Jesus’ words for those who had problems with that when He walked among men:

John 10

33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a…[Read more]

Desires can be good or bad. Jesus was filled with good desires and was encouraged to give birth to those good desires which produced good fruit. He did not have bad desires which when encouraged, give birth to sin. Fulfilling God given good desires is possible and righteous as a human and is what Jesus did. He never had any bad desires.…[Read more]

I have never said they are the same being. I have said they are the same type of being, eternal being. You misunderstand.

@t8,
Someday when you are face to face with Jesus and you are giving account for your nasty judgmental words (towards people who worship the Father AND the Son), know that I forgive you.

I will continue to worship all persons called theos in scripture that have dominion over all creation for ever and ever. Worry about all the other theos and who…[Read more]

@kerwin,
Perhaps this will explain it better than I can:

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted,…. By Satan, at his entrance on his public ministry, and a little before his death; which was done, not by stirring up sin in him, for he had none, nor by putting any into him, which could not be done, nor could Satan get any advantage…
