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:

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>

<span style=”color:…

@t8
Who said anything about any merging into one being?

@Nick
I believe that Jehovah is the God of Israel. Jehovah has an offspring part to Him who is called “Jehovah of hosts” in Isaiah 8:12-15. The offspring part is the same kind of being as the Father.

@t8
You said:

First born means being the first born, not eternal.

You are correct that the appellation “firstborn” can mean first to be born but it does not address how long the one born was in actual living existence beforehand. It is understood that the one born, existed beforehand (you existed before you were born…about 9 months for…[Read more]

Notice that I never mentioned the ‘Trinity Doctrine.” Nevertheless, the Son is the eternal offspring part of the eternal being He calls “Father.” As would be the case, the offspring is the same type of being as its father. Both are eternal beings so it would make perfect sense for both to have the appelation that means…[Read more]

@t8 sleeping on the job? 🙂 Please answer the last post regarding my post before that to you. Thanks!

Great Nick,

That makes two who are God making up our one deity.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you!
