Hi Mike,Seem like a marathon yet?you said:Quote You quoted:QuoteRev 22:6-96 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.But you should have started one verse earlier:Quote5There will be no more night.…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 27 2010,15:17)Hi LU, You used to say Jesus was another god, the only begotten one but now you say he was always part of God. So what do you believe?Nick,The arm is the only begotten God and always was, imo. The arm is figurative.

Hi Mike,Quote The Bible and Jesus in particular are clear about who to worship – God. And considering “angel” means “messenger”, you could be correct in saying Jesus was an angel.QuoteJohn 13:16 NIVI tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.I think Jesus was always greater…[Read more]

Mike,Quote Is Jesus also the “signs, wonders, war, mighty hand, and great terrors”?You said:QuoteJesus is not an angel. The Bible is clear about not worshiping angels but it never says not to worship the Son does it.The Bible and Jesus in particular are clear about who to worship – God. And considering “angel” means “messenger”, you could be…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 27 2010,14:29)Hi LU, God is not divided but one. God wants all to be made one with Him in His Son.Is Jesus not the Son of God now you make him an integral part of God?Nick,Keep it in the order of revelation…first God reveals the God of Israel as the one with the outstretched arm, then He reveals His arm as His son and…[Read more]

Hi Mike,I'm going to take this piece by piece.Quote Hi Kathi,I haven't followed this “arm of God” thinking of yours thoroughly. I will say that by the statements you make like…QuoteAgain, we see the One with the “outstretched arm” receiving worship:And:QuoteIt was obviously acceptable for the God with the outstretched arm of the OT to receive…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 27 2010,14:03)Hi LU, If Jesus already was a part of God why did God have to fill him with His Spirit to empower him?Hi Nick,Jesus needed the HS because He had emptied Himself of His own power and because He was not in the presence of the Father like He was before.

terraricca,I first heard of it today while listening to a CD about Covenant knowledge and then I googled it and found many sites saying the same thing. I didn't find scriptural references about it. They say that it was a well known custom for the Jews. If I ever come across a Biblical reference, I will try to remember to let you know.

Hello,I just learned today about the nine step blood covenant that Jews practiced (I put the ninth step in quotes and thought it would be an interest here in defense of the cross as a memorial.):Quote 9. PLANTING A MEMORIAL TREEA tree, sprinkled with the blood of the slain animal, would be planted. This was a testimony to the covenant. As the tree…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 25 2010,22:10)Hi LU, Jesus never taught there are two gods and he is one of them.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 25 2010,16:29)Hi LU, Because you can align the arm of the Lord with Jesus in Isaiah does not give you carte blanche to assume all such references in scripture are to Jesus.God uses many instruments to show his power.Hi Nick,The power of God is not the arm of the Lord.

Hey soulja,Welcome to the HN world. How did you find HN? I am so glad that you don't serve the evil one anymore. I have a 17 year old son. Be careful on here because there are a lot of opinions and they can't all be true. You are 17 and still very impressionable. The evil one can and does work through people on Christian message boards but…[Read more]

Right Nick,The arm of the Lord (the Son of God) did many things and through Jesus, the arm of the Lord (the Son of God) did and will do  and is doing much more.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 24 2010,23:28)Hi LU,So the child of Mary was the arm of God? Seemed an ordinary if knowlegeable boy.Then God's Spirit was poured into him equipping him for ministry. Of what relevance was his previous life to his ministry?Nick,You ask what the relevance of the Son's previous existence before Mary and to answer that you…[Read more]
