David,This really isn't as complicated as you make it sound. Peter really did believe that Jesus was His great God and Savior and that He was the Son of God…He distinguishes Jesus from His Father and thus shows that two distinct persons…the Father and the Son, are both called his God, one as the Son and the other as the Father.Read what Simon…[Read more]

David,But if you call someone your savior who saves you from your sins and one who also gives you eternal life, then they would be your God. Jesus saves us from our sins and gives us eternal life.

If you liked that part Mike, you might be interested in Simon Peter's expanded teaching (ya know, the person who was the disciple of Christ)…Quote that by the hearing of His word and by the aid of His power ye may believe in Christ, that He is God, the Son of God; and may be delivered from the service of bondage, and may worship Him and His…[Read more]

Simon the Sorcerer is also Simon the Magician…correct?
Lightenup replied to the topic Simon the Magician and The Trinity in the forum Exta-biblical Writings 14 years, 11 months ago
Well, actually David, my post is about Simon the Sorcerer also, or did you miss that? Maybe read it again.
Lightenup replied to the topic Simon the Magician and The Trinity in the forum Exta-biblical Writings 14 years, 11 months ago
Simon the Sorcerer gets his butt kicked by Simon Cephas (Simon Peter, writer of 1 and 2 Peter and disciple of Christ).Let not Simon the sorcerer delude you by semblances which are not realities, which he exhibits to you, as to men who have no understanding, who know not how to discern that which they see and hear. Send, therefore, and fetch him to…[Read more]

This is the historical ancient Syriac account of Habib who would go from house to house encouraging the early Christians and instruct them in the ways of the Lord and to stand firm in their confession of Christ. Habib was martyred and this is the account of that:Page 1:In the month Ab,(2) of the year six hundred and twenty of the kingdom of…[Read more]

t8-One question for you…where have I said that Jesus was the Almighty God? You simply do not read my posts with understanding for you to say that I say Jesus is the Almighty God.

Ah Pierre,You are but a man, no? And it is your view that I am wrong. And it is my view that you are wrong.Btw, I never implied that the Son was the Father's God, but instead the Son is God with the Father.God will show us His truth in time.Kathi
