Quote (Istari @ April 18 2011,15:01)Hi Kathi,Phil 3:3, whichever way it is read, states that we Honor the Son (Even as we Honor the Father).Honouring is not Worshipping – honouring means giving credit.We do indeed give Credit to both Father And Son.That part is clear and is echoed elsewhere several times in Scriptures.We AGREE on that.However, you…[Read more]

Quote (Istari @ April 18 2011,15:14)Kathi,There is Firstborn and there is First-born (Or First Born).The first is that ONE that is held most closely to the Father irrespective of birth order.Even an adopted ONE can become the Firstborn.The second, 'First born', is simply that: THE ONE that was born first to the father.Jacob was Isaac's FIRSTBORN…[Read more]

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

Hi Mike,Is today Passover according to the Jewish calendar? You made a good post. 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]
