I need sleep David…later.Good night!

David,You asked what my definition of God is. A being of divine nature, not as partaking of the divine nature because it was given to him because of grace, but a being who naturally is of self-existent divine nature.

Quote (david @ Oct. 27 2010,00:49)Quote David,It seems like nit picking over semantics.  If I said 'child of God' you understand that the child is from God, right?  That would be easier to understand.  If I say son of God…same thing, not confusing.  Saying God of God can be confusing so I clarified it for you.  I believe that like begat like…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 26 2010,21:59)Quote I am not introducing new things.  The early church father's were saying the same thing maybe not in the same words.  The scriptures that I put up were to show that the scriptures tie the light theme into Christ and the scriptures say that He is the radiance of God's glory.  The sun's light rays are the ra…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 26 2010,21:40)Quote Mike,You still don't get it…apart from the Son, God's glory is not radiating from Him. When, in the Hebrew Scriptures, it speaks of “Jehovah's glory” some 80 times, was this glory radiating through the Son, or was it coming from Jehovah?I would say that the Son is why God's glory is radiant because the Son…[Read more]

That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory,….”–Is 42:8If the Son is the radiance of that glory, He is a part of that glory that the Father will not give away. He would never give His glory that has the radiance w…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 26 2010,21:24)Quote (david @ Oct. 26 2010,17:34)What are the actual facts?  What does the Bible tell us?1.  God's people worshiped God, as in Jehovah God, the God of the Bible.2.  Who worshiped Jesus or where are we told of anyone “worshiping” Jesus?3.  Jesus told us to worship “God.”4.  Are we told to worship God's son, Jesu…[Read more]

Mike,Ok, ok, I'll try to stay on topic here I agree with what John Gill says about this verse:Quote Micah 5:4Ver. 4. And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord,…. The ruler in Israel, before described and prophesied of; the Messiah, as Kimchi himself interprets it, and other Jewish writers. Kimchi's note is,”after the affliction,…[Read more]

Irene,I will continue to pray for them. That all sounds so strange.

Mike,Jesus is a servant to His 'Head' but that doesn't diminish the fact that He is as inseparable to the Father as the radiance is to the glory. My hands are my servants and they do exactly what I tell them to do, they are an important part of me and inseparable to me. That is just an illustration but it is an illustration to show that someone…[Read more]

Here is John Gill regarding the radiance of God's glory from Hebrews 1:3Quote Ver. 3. Who being the brightness of his glory,…. Or “of glory”; of God the Father, the God of glory, and who is glory itself; so called on account of his glorious nature and perfections and because of the glorious manifestations of them in his works of creation and…[Read more]

DK,What does any of that have to do with halloween?

Sorry Irene,I didn't read about Tiffany's situation till just now. I will pray for her. How is she doing today?

You needed to hear a good church story Goodnight for real!!!

Mike,He isn't confused He is mysterious though and timely. We need to trust Him with what we don't understand and know that He does understand and has everything under control.

Mike,Beginnings happen all the time to the same person, Mike. Have you ever considered that the beginning that the Son had was not a beginning of existence but a beginning of being a distinct person?

Mike,I'm going to be gone for a while…church was so good this morning and I want to go tonight. There were a couple of times during the service that people, several, came to kneel at the altar and there were a lot of lifting of hands and praising the Lord. During this last song, which I absolutely love, many were lifting their hands to the…[Read more]
