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]

1 Cor 7:22 For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman ; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave. 23 You were bought with a price ; do not become slaves of men.Colossians 4:12 NASEpaphras, who is one of your number, a bondslave of Jesus Christ, sends you his greetings, always laboring earnestly for you…[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. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.1Then it came about afterwards that David…[Read more]

t8,Quote Family is a unit/organisation made up of persons.A family is not a HIM, but THEY.But that has nothing to do with my example. My example wasn't defining a family but a 'family man' who is a 'him' and not a they. t8, I have noticed time and time again how you are misreading nearly every post I write. I know how distracting kids can be…[Read more]

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.

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!
