Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of the Living God, the begotten God…not created, nor made but begotten before the ages. He became flesh, walked in complete obedience to His Father, was crucified, died and was buried. After three days, He rose again and will one day come back and judge all men. Those who believe in Him will be…[Read more]

Dennison,That sounds like a comparison to Jesus being incarnated into flesh where He is fully God and fully man. That is not what I asked though. I was wondering if perfect divine nature would mean that it was eternal…can a person/spirit being have a perfect divine nature and not be eternal?Kathi

Dennison,The tabernacle was not eternal, so I don't know why you said that would be a perfect example of divine nature.Kathi

That's great about the scholarship, btw.

Dennison,To have perfect divine nature, would you agree that would mean that the nature was eternal?Kathi

At church this morning, the message was on the Messiah being the suffering servant and how He entered Jerusalem on the colt and how that was prophesied way ahead of time. We also had a great time of singing and had communion. Church was packed out!Peace and grace…[Read more]

Quote (Baker @ April 17 2011,22:49)Kathy!  Funny, is God Spirit?  No…. As far as Jesus is concerned, I do believe He was an Angel. Above all Angels.    IMO He volunteered to die for us.  Now He is  seated at the right hand of Almighty God.  Has immortality and will not die again.  Nobody has received eternal life yet, except Jesus.  He is the f…[Read more]
