And what is written just before your 'It is written' segment…and then just after it?But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,Have you set apart Christ as Lord in your heart?

Mike,Jesus spoke as He was led by the Spirit.It is written:Romans 8:12So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are being led by the S…[Read more]

Here is a confrontation that Jesus encountered with satan and this is how Jesus handled the 'prove it' demands of satan: Matt 4:1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. 3And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the S…[Read more]

Edj,According to the lexicon, the word 'full' is an adjective for the nominative (the subject of the sentence) which is not the Father but the 'word.'see here:http://interlinearbible.org/john/1-14.htmSo, 'full of grace and truth' describes the 'word' in this verse.John 1:14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory…[Read more]

Jehovah is both God and Lord, Irene.Who is your Lord?Acts 10:3434Opening his mouth, Peter said:“I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, 35but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him. 36“The word which He sent to the sons of Israel,preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lor…[Read more]

t8Quote Try all you like, but many will hold to the truth that the Father is the one true God and Jesus/Yeshua is his son.The Father is the one true God with Jesus the Lord of lords. Jehovah is both God and Lord…Father and Son. Jehovah is the name for the unity of two persons. t8, if the Father is your one true God, who is your one true Lord?…[Read more]

Mike,you said:Quote But he left the earth as flesh and blood, and we know those things cannot inherit God's Kingdom.Flesh and bones, not flesh and blood. His blood was poured out at Calvary.Luke 24:39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”Kathi

Pierre,The Father is God to Christ according to His human nature and mediatorial role. In the deity nature, the pre-existent part of Christ, the Father is His literal Father who beget Him from within Himself. They are both deity, one as God of gods and the other as Lord of lords.Kathi

Mike,Verbs would agree with the subject as to both being third person and singular and gender if a pronoun isn't added but one is supplied for readability. The verb 'would be' refers to the church which is feminine and the feminine pronoun for third person singular is 'she.'Eph 5:27that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory,…[Read more]

Here Jesus is said to be Lord of all which fits nicely into Deut 10:17:17“For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.

Ok Jack, thanks.Blessings,Kathi

Irene,I explained to you that Jehovah is God of gods and Lord (adonay) of lords (adown). Jehovah is both God and Lord (adonay).1 Cor 8:6 tells us who is our one God, Irene but who is our ONE Lord (adonay), Irene? I am not asking who is our one LORD (Jehovah).Jehovah is not just God but Jehovah is God AND Lord (adonay).You give me a lot of…[Read more]

Irene,Jehovah is both God AND Lord, not just God.Who is our ONE Lord, Irene?1Cr 8:6 But to us one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom all things, and we by him. Kathi

Pierre,Those are all good verses, thanks for putting them up. From a quick glance, I would say that the LORD was appearing as the Son, the spokesperson of Jehovah, representing the unity of Him and His Father. I didn't do any thorough study of most of them, though.God bless,Kathi

t8,The title 'Most High' can be applied to Jesus, or the Father, or the unity of the Father and the Son. It depends on context. According to 1 Cor 8:6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.In this verse, the Father…[Read more]

Hi Jack,Well, I do believe that there were two that shared a mutual perfect love. However, I believe that we can love ourselves and so there only needs to be one to do that.Gal 5:14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”Blessings,Kathi
