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]

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]

Mike,I think that the trouble you are having is in understanding that the Son humbled Himself to the Father and took on the form of a servant.Phil 2:77 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. NASUSo, was He always a bond-servant of God's or did He take the form of a bond-servant?  He wasn't…[Read more]

Mike,These 'word games' are word 'pictures' and Jesus used this method in His many parables.Jesus, as the Son of God, is the 'extension' of God Himself in the distinct person of the Son, yet that distinct person is inseparable from God.  Similar to the light rays that are from the giant ball of gas as an 'extension' of the ball of gas and…[Read more]

Mike,You still don't get it…apart from the Son, God's glory is not radiating from Him. The Son does not reflect God's glory but is God's the radiance of that glory.The Son and Spirit are part of the glory that comes from Him, not recipients or reflectors of God's glory. Like the light rays are inseparable from the sun so is the Son and Spirit…[Read more]

Hi ya'll,It's that time of year again. I debated about bringing this topic up since it was such a drama filled one last year, but something happened today that reminded me of it…Last year discussing this helped me to re-dedicate my past stance of not participating in a celebration that even appears like a halloween celebration in our…[Read more]
