Nick,Quote So his last place was less than his original?No, His last place was a return to the same Glory that He had in the first place, God with God, but added to that was the office of the Mediator.

David,The Bible doesn't say anything about there being relatives to stay with. It is likely that where they stayed was in a cave with some animals. Also, there was no mention in the Bible that Mary had to ride a donkey. I've been pregnant five times and if my husband, if he was a carpenter and didn't make me a donkey cart, I would be kinda ticked …[Read more]

Hi Annie,Welcome to HN! I find great value in celebrating Christmas and the Resurrection Day. I will list reasons:1. Christmas is not just one event-a birthday, but a story that we read about in the Bible. This story begins with the angel visiting Mary, then Joseph. Then the visit that Mary makes to Elizabeth. Also the trip to Bethlehem with no…[Read more]

Shimmer,Look at the interlinear that I suggested you look at and compare the Aramaic for 'God' in v. 27 and then in v. 28. Both translators used slightly different Aramaic manuscripts for this verse, one was the Western and one was the Eastern. You can read this for an explanation:http://www.scribd.com/doc….erencesI don't know how to tell which…[Read more]

My son heard about the damage by the tornadoes in our town in Tennessee when listening to CNN in South Korea. Communication is so advanced nowadays. I hope the wind in NZ was just a breeze, t8

Marlin,Let me add this to the above post.The fullness of the Sun = the big ball of gas + the rays of light + the warmth from the heat3 in one!The fullness of God the Father = the Father who is God + the begotten God, the Son + the Holy Spirit3 in one!If you focus on the sum, you see ONE.If you focus on the addends, you see THREE.So when you speak…[Read more]

Quote (Marlin1 @ Mar. 04 2012,18:10)Quote Jesus, the begotten God, CAN have the form of God especially since that was the form of the One who begat Him.I find this quote of Kathi's very interesting.I believe, she uses this statement to convince that Jesus, is in the form of God, because He was formed by His Father.Kathi, I might have it wrong the…[Read more]

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…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 04 2012,17:40)Kathi,Quote 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.

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 04 2012,19:13)Kathy,The arguments are convincing to some but never the less the majority of experts are not convinced.  I am not an expert but I know enough to be highly skeptical about any translation that has translated by only one man. For reasons I do not know there is a limited number of English versions of the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 04 2012,16:30)Hi LU, Indeed God did by His Spirit.No separation.True Nick,The Spirit remains in the Father and also extends from the Father while still remaining in Him…as I understand it.

Yes Kerwin,Luke 1:35 And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God. That is the incarnation.

You are welcome, shimmer.

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.  In fact, I believe you walked away from the discussion after I showed yout that “beginning of the creation by God”, the way YOU tried to claim it, would require Jesus t…[Read more]

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.

Being the son of man would make him man in nature.Being the son of God would make Him God in nature.
