Quote (t8 @ Nov. 01 2012,16:53)Kathi there are more than 2 powers in Heaven.The ultimate power is the Father. He has made Jesus both Lord and Christ, thus the highest power under him.We then likely have angels and Michael is likely the highest power in the angelic realm.We also have 24 elders who we are not sure who they are.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 01 2012,18:57)I'm still waiting for the scripture that says God was “eternally a Father”.Mike,You have to use your reasoning skills with verses like where both are called 'the First and the Last.' Also, you will not find a verse that says “today I have become your Father” technically. Some translations translate the Psalms…[Read more]

Mike,Here is a verse, 'gods':Gal 4:6 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.That is good that you answered jammin.I have said all I'm going to say about John 1:18 in this regard. It really seems pointless.

Hi William, I believe the Son has an eternal existence and has the same essence as the Father who also has an eternal existence. So, I wouldn't say the Son IS the essence but HAS the essence of the Father. The Father and Son have eternal existence which makes them both YHWH and together with their Spirit, makes them one eternal unity, in other…[Read more]

I would never say 'YHWH' our Gods is one substance' in regards to the shema.YHWH our Elohim is YHWH Echad, the eternal unity.

t8,I would not say one YHWH 'substancce' or much of the other stuff you said. The Son was begotten at one point in time and before that, He was within the Father. He is not begotten over and over if that is what you are implying.The Father, Son, nd Spirit are one YHWH Echad, one eternal unity.
