Mike, The context talks about 'eating' Him and that refers to His flesh body.NASB ©”As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.1 Cor 11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25In the same way…[Read more]

Irene,Here the scriptures say that Jesus had all power when He was resurrected:16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye…[Read more]

Hi Happyman,Jesus was begotten before creation, He was not created. You are right that His flesh was given life by His Father…it was when His body was conceived in the womb of Mary.

Irene,I will agree to consider the KJV but also the other translations, not the KJV only. If the KJV is correct then the original language should prove that out. We don't need to be afraid of looking at newer translations…they are translated from older manuscripts which are more reliable. The closer the manuscript is to the event, the more…[Read more]

Pierre,Do the scriptures say that the fleshly body always lived? If not, then it was given life at some point.Kathi

You are welcome Irene, it made me cry too and my son who was still at home packing to go, gave me a big hug and said that he would be back before I knew it.

The Father gave the flesh body life, not the pre-existent person who always existed. The flesh body didn't always exist, the pre-existent person did.

Irene,You write firstborn but then you try to say that it is first created. The reason you give is Rev 3:14 which has the word arche' which you say means 'first' but it really means 'ruler' here. NIV”To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.Col 1:16…[Read more]

Mike,Look at what you said:Quote If you are reading “el” or “elohim” in the Hebrew Scriptures, then be prepared for “god” to refer to Jehovah, one of his angels, a demon, or even a human being.

So many here believe that Jesus is just 'a god' to serve and bow down to and not worship. Let's see if serving and bowing down to 'a god' is allowed, ok?Here we see that serving and bowing down to another gods is not allowed, in fact this makes God very angry. 2 Kings 17:35 with whom the LORD made a covenant and commanded them, saying, “You shall…[Read more]

Mike,Where in scriptures does it specifically say that God created the god satan or the god of Ekron, or the gods of Egypt. Also, can you think of a higher Son than the Only Begotten Son? If not, that would make the Only Begotten Son the Most High Son or the Most High Only Begotten Son (same thing) wouldn't it?Quote Please actually ADDRESS these…[Read more]
