Thanks Pierre,
So would you say that it is possible that the Son always existed as the offspring part of the Father and then was begotten to participate with the Father in creating the cosmos and govern the cosmos?

@NickHassan

Just answer the question Nick. I don’t believe theory is a part of it. The Hot Seat is waiting for you if you can’t answer it here then you can show us all that you do or do not have an answer for the question there. It is really a simple yes or no question.

Also, you asked if I was a god…how silly…no, of course not.

Here is the…[Read more]

Ok, I will help you. ‘Theos’ is Greek for ‘God/a god’. Now just substitute the English translation for the word ‘theos’ in this question:
Do you believe that there is a theos in scripture that is God the Father? Do you believe that there is a theos in scripture that is the Lord Jesus Christ?

2 Timothy 2:15

@NickHassan
You asked:

And was God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself?
God in God?

Answer my questions correctly and you will know:

Do you believe that there is a theos in scripture that is God the Father? Do you believe that there is a theos in scripture that is the Lord Jesus Christ?

I appreciate ya, Nick!

Well, the picture did not appear but I selected it with everything else that did appear. hmmm.

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING. THAT IS CLEAR IN EVERY RESPONSE YOU GIVE ME. LET ME TRY AGAIN TO MAKE IT CLEAR AND SIMPLE.

*I DO believe that Jesus is a literal firstborn of God the Father, and the ONLY born of God the Father, as a true uncreated offspring, not as a created offspring.

*I DO believe that the literal firstborn…[Read more]

@t8
you said:

LU, do you have any photos or other evidence since there is no scriptural support for your view?

Do you not believe that Jesus is the literal son of God the Father? That is found throughout scripture. Wasn’t it you who was telling me that Jesus was/is the firstborn in a literal sense and now you say there is no evidence for my view…[Read more]

@t8

@NickHassan

It seems clear that there is one theos in scripture who is God the Father and another theos in scripture who is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nick and t8, please answer these two questions:

Do you believe that there is a theos in scripture that is God the Father? Do you believe that there is a theos in scripture that is the Lord Jesus…[Read more]

@NickHassan

Yes Nick, God the Son is in scripture:

John 1:18

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Before I submit my post, I select a word then click on the ‘A underlined’ icon and the word will be in the chosen color. But when I submit the post, the color goes away and the code appears. What am I doing wrong??

So frustrated, I tried to underline the A in the above post by clicking on the icon with the U underlined but instead of underlining the ‘A’ it showed code words. Arrrgh.

That did not work. I selected the word ‘red’ and clicked on the <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>A</span> icon but it just showed the code but not the word in red.

Thanks Admin, I will try.

Trying to get color in visual mode:

This is<span style=”color: #ff0000;”> red.</span>

This is <span style=”color: #3366ff;”>blue</span>.

you said this:

The Word that came from God who is Jesus did not spend 9 months inside God as a developing being. The Word came exclusively from God at some point before the cosmos came into being. That is all we know. I can’t give you a date. There was no calendar before the cosmos that I am aware of.

Must answer question:

Since you can’t tell m…[Read more]

@t8

you said:

Being born means you have a Father/Mother/Parent(s). If Jesus has always eternally proceeded from God, then he is not born, but is a part of God. Such a notion is not taught in scripture.

I never taught ‘eternally proceeding’ either. I teach that He always has been the eternal offspring part of God and has been begotten (brought…[Read more]

@NickHassan

God the Son is the eternal offspring part of God the Father. Jesus is clearly called a theos in scripture, so is the Father. Being an eternal offspring ‘part’ of the Father would naturally make Him the same kind, hence two of the same eternal kind. In the position of ‘God’ to us there is the Father and the Son. They are eternal…[Read more]

You said:

Sonship is by sharing the Spirit of the Father.

Have you become His daughter too?

Yes, I am, not in the same sense as Jesus is though. Do you believe that you are a son of God in the same sense as Jesus is a Son of God??

@NickHassan

Yes Nick, the Lord God of Israel has been called Jehovah of hosts. Both Father and Son are eternal beings and both have the name Jehovah which appropriately demonstrates the eternalness of existence.

In Isaiah 8 we see that Jehovah is talking about Jehovah of hosts as someone other than Himself. In 1 Peter 2, Peter is identifying the…[Read more]

Regarding changing text colors, this is what t8 said:

There are a number of ways. The easiest way is to click on the Visual tab at the top-right of the posting window. Next, select the text you wish to colour. Then select the arrow next to the icon that looks like this: <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>A</span>
