Quote (terraricca @ Oct. 18 2012,11:39)kathiQuote This does not make Him less powerful than the Lamb, it just makes Him not qualified as one who had to overcome the temptation to sin and be slain.

Mike,This context of being 'one' has to do with works/authority:Quote 22At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. 24The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Chri…[Read more]

Mike,Jesus was speaking of being in unity in what the followers 'know'…truth in the Father and the Son, not in unity within the highest authority.

Mike,God Almighty the Son is the one that is the High Priest because He was the only one of the two that humbled Himself to become flesh and was slain. Apart from God Almighty the Son becoming flesh, there would not be opportunity to be mediated for. We all would face eternal destruction.

Quote And as for the nature thing. He partook in our nature and we will get a body like his. He calls us brothers. I don't think worship has anything to do with your nature but who you are.Nature is given for free. Who you are is more important I think because it is a combination of who God made you to be and what choices you have made. If you…[Read more]

2) Hear, O Israel; Yahweh our Elohim is ONE.Btw, Elohim is a plural word so no need to add an s to it.YHWH is called 'him' and not 'them' because it is the name of a unity in that case.The church is called a 'she' and not a them for the same reason although it too has more than one member.Yahweh our Elohim is ONE…one what?

Scripture does honor Jesus as God, not God the Father though. Thomas called Him “the Lord of me and the God of me,” for starters.

Mike,you asked:Quote Also, do you acknowledge that you can't make a SOLID claim of “God-worship” to Jesus just from the Greek word “proskuneo”, and that any claims of such from you or others is only wishful thinking that can't possibly be proved from scripture?No, not just from the word but yes from the word and the context.

Quote (Colter @ Oct. 18 2012,06:16)Jesus was both human and divine, he was a miraculous person.

t8,I hope you tip those baristas well.
What makes a mocha 'trim?' My guess is that 'trim' would be like me ordering my coffee 'black,' i.e. without cream or sugar. What exactly does 'mocha' mean to you? Is that coffee with a chocolate flavor in it?Lightenup replied to the topic Block? in the forum Rules, Help Desk & Notices 13 years, 6 months ago
