There are two persons that took part in our eternal salvation. They form a unity and that unity is called the LORD (Jehovah) our God.So in a sense there are two Saviors and in another sense there is one Savior. It depends on the perspective or emphasis of the situation.Deut 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lordsThe LORD…[Read more]

Pierre,As the offspring of David, He received His kingdom when He was resurrected. As the root of David He was always in His kingdom with His Father.Kathi

Quote (Rena @ July 01 2011,00:11)Kathi, how come Jesus said – “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one–God.”I don't understand the Trinity, and I dont know anything about the earlier Trinity that you speak of. But I'm curious about this one verse and others.Rena,I think that Jesus was looking for faith and to see if His Father had…[Read more]

Ok Mike…rejoice…it lives again

Roo,Thanks…welcome back, I hope all is well.Kathi

Dear Hopeless you said:Quote It doesn't really matter though, does it?  If the Father is greater than Jesus in ANY RESPECT AT ALL, then you no longer have two EQUAL mighty gods who form one Almighty God.  Do you not know what the word “EQUAL” means, Kathi?Which one was the greater Son Mike, or the greater servant, or the greater mediator, or the g…[Read more]

Hello and welcome tt33,God does want you to stop smoking and it sounds like that will help some of your other problems. Take courage!Blessings,Kathi

Let's see Mike,You say I have no scriptural support for my equation that says that Jesus and the Father are two mighty Gods…hmmmm.  What do you call this:Isaiah 9:6 NASFor a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders ; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal…[Read more]

Thank you Keith!I think the bulk of the problem on here is the inability of seeing the Almighty God as the Father who is with His Son and their Spirit. They think the Almighty God is the Father apart from His Son.The equation that I have been using to write this is:Almighty God our Father = The Father who is a mighty God + the Son who is a mighty…[Read more]

Mike,It is absolutely significant what greater and lessor means. I think they merely mean one is greater in His position in the relationship as Father, not greater in regards to nature. Therefore both are equally mighty God in nature. The Son is not equally the begetter, nor is He equally the Father and the Father is not equally the begotten…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ June 28 2011,23:19)Mike,I don't say that the Father and Son are the same mighty God but together with their Spirit they do make the Father the Almighty God.  Remember, my equation:The Almighty God, our Father = the Father who is a mighty God + the Son who is a mighty God + their SpiritThe Father and the Son are both equally a…[Read more]

Mike,I think that Jesus is still man and God. My point was that He was never JUST man like us.Keith knows that an only begotten Son of God would not be a created angel…he is many steps ahead of you.Kathi

Mike,Quote You seem to think that Samuel is the one who anointed David as king over HIS OWN nation. 1 Samuel 16:13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward.
