Quote What is wrong with believing that there is one God the Father as we are meant to?You miss the fullness of God and you deny the deity of Christ.  You might as well be Jewish looking for a messiah that they thought was to have earthly parents, mother and father.  They didn't accept the possibility that God could be His Father because that w…[Read more]

t8,Jesus is also called YHWH AND has divine nature. Having divine nature exactly like the Father does mean that one is God. Partaking of it does not. Jesus is referred to as our great God and Savior, soooo…that was written by Peter, not satan. Satan would love for you to miss that. You might be interested in reading the ancient Syriac…[Read more]

Well,Mike, it is clear that scripture says to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and so therefore I assume they did that because they would have followed the Lord's command. If it is written as baptizing in the name of Jesus then it was more likely because the writer was emphasizing the name that was new to them, like…[Read more]

Mike,Jesus always had His divinity nature and with the incarnation, He also took on the nature of humanity. He although glorified, still has these two natures even now and that is one reason He calls us 'brethren.' According to His humanity, He is our mediator/intercessor/High Priest/Brother/the Lamb…according to His divinity He is Judge,…[Read more]

Mike,Read what I wrote:Quote I tend to think that they did baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I think that Acts has it written that they baptized in Jesus' name, but I tend to think that they baptized in all three, and when Acts was written, it just emphasizes Jesus' name but doesn't mean that the other two names…[Read more]

It is a plural word used with a singular pronoun. El…[Read more]

Hi Mike,I think the context makes it clear that the words are accurately translated in the document and shouldn't be how you suggest. I tend to think that they did baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. They simply mentioned baptizing in the name of Jesus because of emphasis. The Jews already believed in the Father…[Read more]

Mike,you said:Quote Kathi, do you think we need to rewrite the scriptures as I have done above? Because using a singular pronoun to refer to TWO persons does not make sense to any rational person.Mike, the word Godhead is a singular word. Many words are like that, for instance with the word 'government' which as you know is made up of many, I…[Read more]

Thank you Paul, Keith, and Shimmer!God bless,Kathi

From the ancient Syriac documents:The Teaching of Simon Cephas in the City of Rome (who we know as 'Peter' the disciple):In the third(4) year of Claudius Caesar, Simon Cephas departed from Antioch to go to Rome. And as he passed on he preached in the divers countries the word of our Lord. And, when he had nearly arrived there,(5) many had heard of…[Read more]

Thank you Richard for sharing your story. I'm sure that it took a lot of guts to do so. So thankful you are set free,Kathi

t8,I do appreciate your concern, I really do.  I don't call the Godhead by the name 'trinity.'  So your list needs a different approach.  If you have read my really long post to you on the previous page then you will see that we need to use context to dictate which person of the Godhead is being spoken about or is doing the speaking.  It is not…[Read more]
