JA,What good is it to be an everlasting king if no one is in your kingdom?

JA,He was the Spirit Son before He came in the flesh and after the resurrection. The Son, after the resurrection, however was also a mediator, a High Priest to a group of followers that can be with Him in His kingdom. Before the Son came in the flesh, those in heaven and earth could not be reconciled to the Father and have peace. We are His…[Read more]

JA,If you have been following along, I am not encouraging the male/female thing, I am trying to help him out of it.

Hi Davidbfun,Tell me why the Holy Spirit is not listed in these verses if the Holy Spirit is indeed equally a separate person as the Son and the Father.There is no need to explain gender at this point. I don't even believe that the Holy Spirit is equally a separate person. I believe that the Bible has taught us that the spirit of man is the…[Read more]

JA,He returned to the glory that He had before He became flesh. He was the true spirit Son before He became flesh and was the firstborn over all creation. After the true spirit Son became flesh, He died and was the firstborn again but this time the firstborn of the dead and returned to the glory of being the true spirit Son once again at the…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 22 2010,09:42)Lightenup…………..Barely is right is what he has said sis. Jesus is now and always will be (SUBJECT) to the Fathers Will. If he were not then he would not need God's Seven Spirits to be IN Him giving him the understandings  need to reign. He is sited at the right hand of GOD not as GOD HIMSELF. WE…[Read more]

Barley,”You said that God is superior to JC in all ways.” Is God a superior man to Jesus? It appears by your above post that you do not know the Son that created the world, you only know Him after He lowered Himself to become a man. Is that right?

Hi,What is meant by equal in 'co-equal?' I would say that the Father and the Son are equal in nature like all true fathers and sons. Are they equal in what they own? Everything the Father has, He has given the Son, and all that the Son has belongs to the Father also, so they are equal in whatever things is in the 'everything.'

Nick,Maybe only time as we know it began at Genesis. We know that the future eternity is always day…no night. But there seems to be an order of things happening within the 'day' of eternity; one thing came before another.

Keith,I don't think John was implying either a beginning or an always existing.I do think that John was implying that the word was a person and a separate person than the one He was with and that separate person was in the beginning.

Keith,In regards to the word 'was' in John 1:1:The verse reads this way:”In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God”Some have taken that further and said:”The Word always was in the beginning and always was with God and always was God”or “The Word already was in the beginning and already was with God and already…[Read more]

Hi all,Some on here think that if the Son of God actually was begotten as an offspring before the ages, that would make Him a lesser God. Well, not lesser God by nature. The Father would not have an offspring that was of an alien nature than Himself. Perfect begats perfect after all. One would certainly be from the other and that would…[Read more]

Quote That is an indisputed fact and for the “Arians” to pawn off the Fathers like Calvin as somehow supporting their “Arian” theorys is missleading and disingenous.Keith, who is pawning off the Fathers as supporting their arian theories?

Roo,Where have I passed Calvin off as a non-trinitarian? I only quote him and agree with him as to when the Son of God was begotten before the ages. I would love to talk to Calvin himself. I do believe that Calvin thought the Son of God to be the first cause of the Father and that the Father was the source of the Son and thus a true Son. I…[Read more]
