Here is a must answer question for you:
Of all the persons who are called theos in scripture, how many have dominion over all creation forever and ever?

If you can answer that correctly, then you will hold on to those persons as being the persons who are called theos who are for us. Paul mentions only two persons who are for us, btw. One is…[Read more]

terraricca,
1.Do you admit that it is written in scriptures that Jesus is called a theos? yes or no
2. Do you admit that it is written in scriptures that every knee will bow to Him and confess that He is Lord to the Glory of God the Father? yes or no
3. Do you admit that it is written in scriptures that every created being will be acknowledging…[Read more]

Hi Nick,
The Word was the Jehovah of hosts that Peter identifies as Jesus who was the eternal life that was with the Father in the beginning. You are missing this.

Rev 19:13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

Here we have the Word of Jehovah identifying Himself as ‘Jehovah’ and being called ‘Lord…[Read more]

@terraricca
I’m sorry but I have no idea of what you are rambling on about regarding how the “I” is used. You seem to be saying that it is more about arrogance vs. humility. Yes, we are to accept what He is with fear and trembling. We are to proclaim the truth boldly. Your ‘truth’ is not inline with scriptures, imo.

Those in the basement/under…[Read more]

Sons can always exist?

It is a strange concept to think that anyone had always existed but how would a person exist as Father if there were no offspring always belonging to Him? If the Son did not always exist, the Father did not always exist as Father.
There was only one son that always existed and it is the theos who is the…[Read more]

@terraricca

Really, counting my use of a personal pronoun is your response to my testimony and the evidence to your idolatrous ways as you pray in the name of a created being, etc?

You even do it hypocritally as you state what you believe and use the same amount of “I’s” in your statement. Does anyone see the irony of this?

you said:

I believe…

I believe the Son always existed you believe that He didn’t. That is probably the root of our main differences. I don’t believe that scripture is in your favor. I see Jesus as identified as Jehovah of hosts by Peter and the NT identifies Jesus with the same titles as Jehovah in the OT. Also, as the wisdom in Prov 8:22, the Father…[Read more]

Two who are called theos are given the honor of having dominion over all created things. There is no other like them.

@NickHassan
No other man existed as Jehovah of hosts or anything else before conception. That is only an accomplishment for Jehovah of hosts that Peter identifies as Jesus.

@t8
One does seem pretty foolish when they acknowledge Jesus as a theos but haven’t got a clue as to whom He is a theos to. This is elementary. All creatures bow before Him.

Nick,
you said:

Jesus did not exist before flesh. He was conceived in Mary.

The person existed before conception in Mary which is popularly called the incarnation. Amazing isn’t it!

Nick,
See for yourself where people are learning about God from Paul and some follow him and believe…let him be an example of teaching people about God and witnessing people come to faith through this:

Acts 17:22So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. 2…[Read more]

Nick,
Please answer:
Please tell me what type of being the Son was before He came in the flesh. Was He an always existent eternal being or a created being?

NIck,
you asked:

Why is knowing ABOUT GOD important?

Faith comes by hearing about God.

Nick,

God is not apart from men so as to be studied theologically.

Nick, men can become a god unto themselves when they believe whatever comes to mind, I can tell you don’t study theology, btw.

God has given us the Bible to study to show ourselves approved. Dig in…

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not…[Read more]

@NickHassan
Only the LORD can adjust your thinking so that you may know and know about Jehovah.

Matt 11:27…no one knows the Father except the Son…

To know an always existent Father would require an always existing relationship with an always existing Son. There was a whole lot of existing going on before the Son became flesh.

@NickHassan

you say:

Becoming an expert about God saves nobody.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.<span class=”p”>

It is evident by this verse that “KNOWING” the only true God and Jesus Christ IS ETERNAL LIFE. Being an expert about God is certainly a worthy goal and is…[Read more]

@NickHassan
Do you think it to be theory or truth that there are two persons who are called theos in scripture and are acknowledged to have dominion over all created things for ever and ever?

@NickHassan

What term would you use to represent that authority that has dominion over all created things in heaven, on the earth and under the earth, Nick?
