Pierre, the synod of Antioch condemned Paul of Samasota. I agree with what the synod agreed upon, not Paul of Samasota. Fyi, just in case you thought otherwise.

Only two groups…the disciples grew in numbers but weren't a separate group. The disciple group just got fuller.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Dec. 09 2012,04:30)Hi KathiI think that your natural concept of a Mother bringing birth to a son plays way to much in your understanding of the relationship of the Father and Jesus.To say that God the Father literally brought birth to a spiritual son in procreation in itself is contrary to the general order of things.…[Read more]

YHWH is both the God of gods and the Lord of lords…so the Father and the Son are both the Most High God.

Mike,No, Moses was not the god of Aaron. Moses was his brother. Aaron was not his prophet, he was God's prophet.Quote 1. You'll have to ask Thomas that question.Why, does his answer screw up your doctrine?Quote 2. No, Jesus is not the god of me. Jehovah is the God of me, and Jesus is the one Jehovah made the Lord of me.So who is He god of?Quote…[Read more]

Thanks for your answers, Pierre. They are not all 'of God' but it is ok to be wrong if you learn from your error. At least you tried.

Mike,Thanks for your answers.you said:Quote I know that God, ALONE and BY HIMSELF, created all things THROUGH His holy servant Jesus Christ.So God did not create anything directly, is that what you are saying?Also, by your answers, you admit that Jesus is a god that is given praise, honor, glory and dominion for ever and ever with the Father and…[Read more]

Bo, Abraham and Noah obeyed and believed in YHWH and since YHWH is both the Father and the Son, they did depend on Jesus, YHWH the Son, for their salvation and they depended on the Father also for their salvation. They knew Him as YHWH. Abraham even has a face to face discussion with Him in Gen 18.

Pierre,I do not know what you are talking about. I do not know how you would answer those questions. Please answer them with a yes or no and tell me which question you are saying that about.

t8, do you think what I have suggested to Pierre in the above post will work for what he wants as far as a place where he can discuss with only certain people?

Well Pierre, make a thread that is a closed discussion between you and whom you consider 'mature believers' and test it on one topic to see if you like it and accomplish with it what you want. If it works, then make as many others in the same 'closed' manner for other topics that you want to talk about. There doesn't have to be a whole new board…[Read more]

Pierre,Do you believe in the internet? Do you understand it? Is it useful to you?

Good post jammin!

Pierre,There isn't a limit to the threads you can make here just for you and your cohorts. Have at it. I predict a short life to them or that they become a second grade gossip column about other members here. Why don't you test it out.

Mike,The one theos that is the mediator is a mediator between us and the one theos that is the Father.Now answer my question:Mike, is this mediator one of the two 'the theos' that was involved in creation, needed to be believed in for eternal salvation of all mankind, mentioned in our prayers, given praise, honor, glory and dominion for ever and…[Read more]
