Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 04 2012,09:02)Kathi,You have NEVER showed me that Jesus is eternal, or that he is ever called “Jehovah”. That is just more wishful thinking on your part.

Nick,The Father and the Son and Spirit invented the incarnation, not the catholics. You give them way too much credit!
It was the Spirit of the Most High that overshadowed Mary, and caused the incarnation, not the catholics.Lightenup replied to the topic JOHN 1:1 who is the WORD? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 14 years, 2 months ago
Being the son of man would make him man in nature.Being the son of God would make Him God in nature.

Nick,That is merely your opinion. Your spirit is in relationship with you or do you not control your spirit?

Man partakes in deity nature because grace has been bestowed on him by God.The Son partakes in deity nature because He always was, is and will be deity.Big difference.

Kerwin,you said:Quote It is my understanding Jammin is a Trinitarian which is one who’s Christology is three persons in one God. That infers that the one God has multi-personality disorder.What you think is trinitarianism is not trinitarianism.

Kerwin,Polytheism is a belief in several gods with different natures and different purposes. Like those who would worship the sun god as well as worship the moon god…two different natures and purposes.What I understand is two persons together with their Holy Spirit that have a common nature (true deity nature) and act as one…interdependently…[Read more]

Kerwin,Wikipedia did not say how old it was but that it became the standard by the 5th century. See here:The Peshitta (Syriac: ܦܫܝܛܬܐ for “simple, common, straight, vulgate”, Arabic:”بسيطة”, sometimes called the Syriac Vulgate) is the standard version of the Bible for churches in the Syriac tradition.The Old Testament of the Peshitta was…[Read more]

Abe,The Son who was in the form of God, while being in the form of God, was not a man and that is WHY He had to become a son of man. After He became a son of man, well, then He became able to be tempted, i.e. to be hungry, physically tired, etc. And then He was also able to die…He in regards to the flesh form, was able to shed blood and die.

Hi jammin,I do believe that the fullness of the true God that offers eternal life does not exist apart from the Son. The true God that offers eternal life is not separate from the Son but the Son is very much a part of this true God.

Both the Lamsa translation and the RSV teach the deity of Christ. In all the passages that refer to Him as God, the G is capitalized.

Tertullian's view:We have already asserted that God made the world, and all which it contains, by His Word, and Reason, and Power. It is abundantly plain that your philosophers, too, regard the Logos—that is, the Word and Reason—as the Creator of the universe. For Zeno lays it down that he is the creator, having made all things according to a det…[Read more]
