Irene,Do you see anywhere in scripture that God is against a cross? Maybe you can show me.Many people hang a cross around their neck to show a witness to their faith…that is not idolatry, it is a witness.

Thanks Keith!Have a great day,Kathi

Hi Mike,There are hints of the Godhead throughout the whole Bible. If you are open to the idea and want to see it, you can, but if you are not open to the idea and don't want to see it then you won't. Just like anything else. God will show those who are seeking Him with pure hearts and not their own agenda.Kathi

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 03 2010,21:00)Hi LU, Godhead as you use it is a traditional usage for trinity or your binity and unrelated to scripture.Two gods did not become one in any bible I have read.But the Son of God is one with his Father in Spirit since the time of the JordanI have never used the term binity. I use the term unity. That is a…[Read more]

Georg,Read this:Quote Josh 22:21-2921 Then the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered and spoke to the heads of the families of Israel. 22 “The Mighty One, God, the Lord, the Mighty One, God, the Lord!

Nick,Have you heard of the “two shall become one?”I think you have difficulty grasping the meaning of unity-echad.Two being one is a biblical concept that can be difficult to understand.I see a few ways of this oneness:One God, the FatherOne Lord, Jesus Christwithin in One Godheadsharing of the One Spirit from the Father.Jesus was a servant too…[Read more]

Irene,The cross isn't anymore a weapon than an altar is. The weapons were the nails, the hammers, the whips, and the people that used them were bad. I don't see anyone wearing the nails, hammers or whips around their neck in reference to Jesus' death. The cross was not the weapon. If someone got stabbed to death while tied to their chair, is…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 02 2010,16:59)Hi LU,So you get the point and understand the issue?Neither kill nor worship the messenger.True worshippers worship the Father.Nick,You see Jesus as just a messenger? I see Him as the Lord of Glory. Worship the Lord!

You are thinking about the cross as if that was the weapon. I think of the cross as if that was the altar that held the final and perfect sacrifice. If you detest the cross, maybe you are looking at the malice and wickedness of the crucifixion instead of the love and sincerity of the truth that what happened on the cross was a sacrifice. So,…[Read more]

Hi Georg,Thanks for sharing that. I'll bet there are a lot of those nuggets yet to be discovered in the scriptures.Bless you,Kathi

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 02 2010,15:26)Hi LU, Conjecture about the origins of the Son of man has led carnal men to worship him distracting from his mission which was to draw men to the one true God through him.Paul tore his clothes when the same thing happened to him.Nick,Jesus never told us to not know His origins…that is your desire, not…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 01 2010,20:33)Hi LU,The possible different origins of the Son of God is not relevant to his mission.Because of this distraction carnal folk forget he is a man, the Son of Adam, who came to show us the way of salvation.

NickI think Jesus had two, we who are born again have two. The Spirit of the Father left Jesus' body and that is why Jesus said “Father, why did you forsake me,” and then after that, Jesus gave up His own inner person spirit (the Son of God part) into the hands of the Father. The Father placed that spirit within the glorified body three days…[Read more]
