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. He…[Read more]

Mike,Jesus is eternal and has the name Jehovah which confirms this. I'm not going to argue this with you because I have already shown you. I just can't let you get away with trying to teach this.Kathi

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.

Hi Kerwin,I have been reading a free online book about that recently. It gives strong evidence that the Aramaic NT was before the Greek. Here is an excerpt and a link if you are interested:This book will show you many errors and contradictions in the Greek text, which are solved by theAramaic.

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]

Mike,Quote Jesus was most definitely the Son of God in a way that no one else ever was, or ever will be.That we agree on. He is Lord Jehovah the Messiah and the Living God if you really want to know.
