Quote (t8 @ Aug. 03 2011,00:45)Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 03 2011,11:05)t8Jesus is THE image, not 'an' image.Please point out where I said he was an image. Because I agree that he is the image. The full expression. Where did I say “an image”?t8,I was only pointing out that Christ is THE image…not others. It wasn't about you saying that He was 'an'…[Read more]

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]

I agree Jack,The adopted sons, although equally part of the family, will never be exactly like the 'biological' son, even as much as t8 would like to make it appear so.Kathi

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

Mike,The 'autos' is the 'He' in the passage…see that it is in the nominative case which means that it is the pronoun that is the subject and not the direct or indirect object of the sentence. The 'church' is in the accusative case which is another way of saying that the word is the direct object and receiving the action of the verb.Eph 5:27…[Read more]

Hi t8,you said:Quote And one of the precious promises is we will be like him. Our bodies will be transformed into a body like his. First is the carnal, then the spiritual. He calls us brothers. As sons, we are given the privileges that go with being sons.Being adopted doesn't mean that God doesn't love us any less, or that we end up somehow a…[Read more]

t8,When we see the word 'theos,' it can mean different things. The highest meaning, imo, would apply only to the person or persons who have always existed. I believe that two always existed, the Father and the Son. The Son existed within the Father and was begotten from the Father which would make the Father greater in position but not in…[Read more]

Happy belated birthday William!Love to you,Kathi

Irene,Don't bother looking for a post that isn't going to be there.Kathi

Irene,Quote Kathi believes that Jesus always existed in the mind of Hos Father.Where have I ever said that?  Please stop it Irene, you ought not to be making judgements and claims like you have been.Just in the last few days you said:The church is never called a 'she' but the church is.Quote Because nobody calls the Church a He or a She do they? fr…[Read more]

I agree Jack.

Matt 10:33 “But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

Really Keith, you wrote that?? That was awesome!Happy Birthday!

Irene,you say:Quote you have no Scripture to support that theory…..You have seen the scripture, written the scripture, recited the scripture, pointed others to the scripture, yet you do not understand the scripture…six simple words:John 10:30 “I and the Father are one.”One unity, not one being, not one person…but one unity. Just as we are…[Read more]

Great insight Jack! Another compound unity spoken of as a 'he' and a 'him.' You are right, that compound unity is everywhere and it seems that all compound unities have a name like the 'one new man.'I'm not sure that the compound unity is the image of God but maybe the compound unity is the 'oneness' of God and is meant to be the oneness of the…[Read more]

Pierre,The Father is one God.The Son is one Lord.Together they make Jehovah our God…one unity.

t8,Quote Therefore, anyone who teaches that YHWH is visible is a direct contradiction of John and Paul's teachings quoted above. I am not teaching that.  The Son can make appearances to represent YHVH and still no one has seen the fullness of YHVH, both Father and Son together, nor have they seen the Father alone.   The scriptures never say that n…[Read more]
