I believe you are mistaken here. example: Jesus is the root of Jesse and the offspring of David. He is the Root AND the Shoot!How is Jesus the literal offspring of David? Is David “God” too? if not why was Jesus…[Read more]

Hi Bo,I believe the muslim religion is in opposition to Christianity, not a corrected revised addition to it.The authors of the gospels were considered disciples/apostles, not prophets. The church was founded on the prophets and apostles.Eph 2:13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14For…[Read more]

Kerwin,I suggest that the root that the people were warned not to choose, which delivers bitter poisons, are the gods of the nations that are not the LORD God. That is what Deut 29 is about…the gods of the nations. A root would be the ultimate support of the plant, i.e. their so called gods.Deut 29:10“You are standing today all of you before t…[Read more]

Quote I am putting inferred words into writing.Exactly, that is my point. They are YOUR inferred words which have a bias attached. Besides this verse states otherwise:Romans 8:15For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spi…[Read more]

Jack? No response??

Quote These two things are in opposition to each other, Kathi. One cannot BE the President, and also the SERVANT OF the President. I see no scriptural reason why this obvious and logical fact would be different for Almighty God.And this here is a big road block for you, you will be amazed if you prepare your heart to actually accept this…[Read more]

Quote Kathi, this “other truth” will be able to be read by us in the SCRIPTURES, right?It is all scriptural!!

Kerwin,You are adding words to scriptures.

Hi Kerwin,Jesus is worthy of all honor! He is the First and the Last! The Alpha and Omega!

t8? Please answer the previous post, thx.

Kerwin, If the boy said in response, “but Sir, you are good…are you our LORD?” I believe that Jesus would have commended him for his faith like he did Thomas and Peter when they responded well.

Quote substance/echadnot: substance/echadinstead: unity/echad

Quote If God to you isn't a substance with 2 persons, then how can both Jesus and the Father be Almighty God.How can a root also be a shoot? Ask the LORD to show you the answer to that.

He was able to do things in the name of Pharaoh, so long as it was his will I suppose.I agree too. And Jesus is the second power of YHVH. The Father is the first…[Read more]

Mike, Gene, kerwin, etc,Jesus was likely just looking for a measure of faith within the boy by asking Him a question. The boy did not respond with faith. Maybe there should be a topic listing all of Jesus' questions and which ones were answered correctly and which ones weren't.
