Mike,you said:Quote (I agree with you that Jesus was Christ and Lord from before the ages, and that you have scripturally refuted any of Nick's claims to the contrary. In fact, Matthew 2:4 that you quoted is enough in itself.)We agree on something once again…how nice

Marty,But it is Jesus' goodness/righteousness that saves us and that was what the young man was asking about…what can he do to obtain eternal life. Jesus tells him that there is one good and to follow him if he wishes to be complete. So, I think that the NASB translation seems to be more fitting to the situation. Jesus is good after all. Kathi

You should listen with Thomas in Jn14Nick,John 14 is full of claims that are God sized that Jesus makes of Himself and demonstrates that He is to be believed in with the Father.

Marty,Read how differently an older Greek manuscript is translated in Mat 19:16And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” 17And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18Then…[Read more]

Nick,”Few” if few were Mary and Elizabeth then we really don't need more than that but then there are the Magi and Herod and his scribes and Simeon the priest. They all knew that He would be born as the Messiah. The powers He expressed were to give evidence to His role as the Messiah that He was born as.

Georg,The scriptures are not false that you quoted, what I am suggesting is that your theory of spirit=mind is a wrong conclusion of those verses. Also, your comment about the 'heart' having nothing to do with 'it' shows that you do not seem to know that the heart which pumps the blood is not meant in the over 800 times in scripture where 'heart'…[Read more]

Nick,According to you Thomas called Jesus HIS Lord and HIS God because God dwelled in Him and Thomas just truly accepted it at that moment. Don't you also teach that the Father dwells within all true believers? If so, all believers would be Thomas' (and your) Lord and God. Do you call all believers your Lord and your God?
Lightenup replied to the topic Did God die on the cross in the forum Truth or Tradition 14 years, 3 months ago
Nick,God is in all believers so according to you all believers are the Lord and the God of each other? Try again.
