Quote (Pastry @ June 28 2011,16:00)Kathy! And Keith for that matter!  Jesus is our Savior.  But who is it that raised Him from the death? Tts 2:13   Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;  These Scripture speaks of both God AND our Savior Jesus Christ.  They are not the same…[Read more]

Mike,My post was applicable to both of your last posts.Yes, I need to say good night…it's a late one. I thought of you tonight when my husband sent me out to get the milk, ha!I guess he was greater tonight and I was the lessor because he was the sender and I was the one sent Kathi

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 mighty God by nature. The Father is…[Read more]

Acts 18:15 put in context…12But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat, 13saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.” 14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrong or of vicio…[Read more]

Amen to these scriptures…keep them coming

Yes Keith,Quote Wrong! Read it in its entire context for verses 14-22 is speaking of Jesus clear as day.It is clear as day Keith. You would have to be blind to not see that. The 'Firstborn of all creation' thread is evidence of that.And you are welcome Keep up the good work, Kathi

Good post Keith, I agree with almost everything that is in your above post. Kudos!

John 20:26After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” 27Then He said to Thomas, “Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28Th…[Read more]

Acts 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.I might add that the definite article 'the' is in the Greek in front of 'God' in this verse. Here is the Greek for all your Greek geeks prosexete (5720) eautoiv kai panti tw…[Read more]

I agree with that post to Mike, Keith (your other posts on this page as well).  We can trust Jesus with EVERYTHING can't we Keith, even creepy people!  Don't lose heart.Acts 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.1 C…[Read more]

For starters…Genesis 18 1Now the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day. 2When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth, 3and said, “My Lord, if now I…[Read more]

There are those who assume that God the Father was the one who interacted with ancient Israel personally, appearing and speaking to Moses and the patriarchs. However, the Bible contradicts this belief:JOHN 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (NKJV)JOHN 5:37 “And the…[Read more]

t8,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]

t8,Read this passage and then Gill's commentary on it.  I agree with Gill here. 20“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22“The glory whic…[Read more]

David,Quote “At this point the men turned from there and got on their way to Sodom; but as for Jehovah, he was still standing before Abraham.” The third 'man,' who we know was not a man in reality but only in appearance, was Jehovah…the Son of God. The Father and Son both share the name 'Jehovah.' They are both deity. The Son would nat…[Read more]

Pierre,Then you are a liar according to that verse?

David,There are many senses in which one can be called a father, not just one who gives eternal life.

David,Gen 18 mentions Jehovah many times. They are all referring to one of the three that appeared walking towards Abraham and eating with him, etc. That Jehovah is the Son and not the Father.
