Marty,I agree with you to pray for unity in truth, that is always the goal.I think that you know a God who is only God of gods. You do not know the God of gods and the Lord of lords who make up Jehovah our God. It is Jehovah our God who has done amazing things, like creation. Read this:Psalm 1361 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His…[Read more]

Pierre,You are pretty loose with your accusations there.you said:Quote this is a lie if you believe or not is immaterial to me but it is to God because it contains deceitWell that isn't much of a defense when you say something is a lie because it contains deceit. I could just as easily say it is truth because it is truthful. Neither statement…[Read more]

Mike and Marty,The main thing is salvation belongs to both, not just to God but to God AND the Lamb. In Revelations, the Lamb is identified as the Lord of lords. In Deuteronomy, Jehovah (LORD) our God is identified as both God of gods and Lord of lords. The God of gods is the Father, the Lord of lords is the Son. Salvation belongs to bot…[Read more]

Pierre,It is true that God made it that way but that was not the point I was making…My point is that the name 'Adam' has nothing to do with the rule of Adam since all men rule over the fish and cattle, etc. no matter what their name is. The reason they rule is because God made it so everyone who had the 'nature' of a man would rule over the…[Read more]

t8,Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”One may be called Adam, an adam…and another called, um…Boris, another adam but both would rule…[Read more]

It will be a glorious experience. We become worthy by surrendering our hearts to Him and acting accordingly. He is the Lord of lords and the Lord of our heart

Hi Ted, Pierre, Mike, and Kerwin…The Jewish Targums can clear up whether the Jews believed the Lord God referred to in OT was the Father or the 'Word of the Lord' who those in the NT times find out is the Son. The Targums are the translations of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic. They are written with the Jewish understanding inserted into the t…[Read more]

More about the Father and Jesus being one…“I and the Father are one.”Gill's Exposition of the Entire BibleI and my Father are one. Not in person, for the Father must be a distinct person from the Son, and the Son a distinct person from the Father; and which is further manifest, from the use of the verb plural, “I and my Father”, “we are one”;…[Read more]

David,I think you get angry for a lack of understanding. Once again, I am not speaking of a trinity as in the trinity doctrine but the eternal deity of the Son with the Father.you said:Quote This argument makes me so very angry.

David,you said on your posts on this page:Quote I thought there were 3? Why do we so often forget the third? Hardly even mentioned as part of the trinity in comparison to how often these 2 are. I am glad that you can see the two. I do not understand 'three persons' nor do I speak of a trinity doctrine. I do believe the deity of an eternal…[Read more]

Hi Marty,you said:Quote And so, yes he existed in the heart of the Father from the beginning, but not as a sentient person.This is a very big difference between you and many Christians. When you view the scriptures through an eternally sentient person you find a completely different 'Son' than the way you have expressed. An eternally sentient…[Read more]

Hi Happyman, I'm glad you liked that performance with Michael W. Smith. Irene, so sorry you are struggling. You both might like this song.

Hi Ted,We can't love like we are supposed to so we ask God to love through us and we act by faith on that. He loves through us according to what the person needs for their benefit in the long run. He promises to work everything out for good for those who love the Lord.Blessings,Kathi

Hi Mike,Quote Your last post is exactly the reason I halted all of our debates and discussions.

Shimmer,Here is a true story about loving neighbors as yourself. I have a neighbor on the left side of me with a very friendly, kind dog and I have a neighbor on the right of me with a very mean spirited dog. The mean spirited dog attacked and bit my son who was out jogging in the neighborhood about 8 days ago. Out of love for the neighbor, the…[Read more]
