Quote (t8 @ May 31 2011,17:09)There is one God the Father. He is the true God.Theos as applied to anyone else, (including Jesus) is not meant to be taken as the eternal one true God.Theos has other legitimate uses, just as adam and devil do. But the one true theos is applied to the Father exclusively just as there is one Devil and one Adam. (Yes…[Read more]

Quote (shimmer @ May 30 2011,04:37)Thanks Kathi.And I like that song/poem that you put.———————-To anyone, if you think that Jesus is just a god among other gods, or whatever you think, and should be mentioned just briefly at the end of each prayer, then look at this…Acts 7:59They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord…[Read more]

Mike, If you were all about the truth now, you wouldn't keep implying that I agree with the 'a god' idea you want to spin off on us. So when you lie about what I say, then don't tell me you are 'addicted to truth.'If you were truthful you would not keep saying something that you know is NOT true.I should know if THAT what you say is true or not…[Read more]

Quote (Pastry @ May 30 2011,12:31)Kathi!  This is what Jesus saysJhn 14:28   Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.Also a Son did not always exist.  Jesus had a beginning which you don't address, and gave me an ar…[Read more]

Istari and readers of his supposed declaration of what I say here,It would take so much of my time to unscramble the web of Istari's misconcepts of what I say and Istari's misunderstanding of the two natures of Christ. Just suffice this to say to the other readers, when Istari tries to convey what I understand, just don't take the time to read.…[Read more]

Mike,Eve did not create her son otherwise she would be her son's creator and we know that she is merely a creature.  The Bible says that the creature is not the creator.Rom 1:24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for a…[Read more]

Mike,1 Corinthians 1:10Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12Now I mean t…[Read more]

Quote (Istari @ May 29 2011,04:20)Kathi and All,Romans 9:5… '…who is over all, Eternally blessed God, Amen'Does anyone think that this statement is pertaining to Jesus? How?Jesus, even if 'called' God – Mighty One – CANNOT POSSIBLY BE 'Eternal God' because his reign as 'God' is only 'UNTIL ALL THINGS ARE PUT UNDER HIS FEET'.Then he hands the…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ May 29 2011,05:13)Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 29 2011,13:33)Oh I see now.  Jesus DOES actually HAVE human nature even though scripture says he “partook” of it.    But we won't acutally HAVE divine nature because scripture says we only partake of it?Seems to me like a double standard to further a doctrine.Good post too.Really, t8…good po…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 29 2011,18:27)Quote (Lightenup @ May 29 2011,15:22)There is no 'the' in 1c.Correct.  That's why we know Jesus is not THE God, but A god.  Obviously you are misconstruing or misunderstanding my words to even say that and I believe you are doing it on purpose. read what I say about the 'a'There is no 'the' in 1c. and &…[Read more]

Mike,They were however satisfied with Addaeus' answer weren't they. And, bottom line what Addaeus has said is in direct and utter conflict with the way you tried to mishandle scripture by changing words, adding words, misunderstanding words, etc. Addaeus was told by the Lord to shake off the dust at the doorstep and walk away because of those…[Read more]

Hi Wispring,You ought to learn about the passive and active voice of Greek verbs. I believe that would really help you better understand what the original text was saying. When the verb is in the active voice then the subject actively did the action themself, when the verb is in the passive sense, the action is done to the subject. Here is…[Read more]

Mike,From the post at the top of this page…you said:Quote Kathi, EVERYTHING was “in Him” at one time. Paul said that ALL THINGS came FROM the Father. Are ALL THINGS from eternity just because they came FROM God?This is what Paul said: 1 Cor 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one…[Read more]

I think this is pretty good, maybe not perfect but I think that it gets the point across. It is a poem about the two natures of Christ, both God,as the Son and man.

Istari,People have been teaching the eternal Son who was begotten before the ages since the early church. I am not teaching that which is new, just trying to say it in a way to give some more understanding. Also, the eternal Father has been taught and believed on long before.I have told you that the manner in which the offspring was within the…[Read more]
