JustAskin,I am thankful for God's forgiveness and I am also thankful that the Son that was from the beginning has humbled Himself and took on the form of a bondservant. Without that we would not have eternal life with the Father and the Son. The Son is so good to have become a servant for our sakes…it is too sad that you cannot seem to…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ Feb. 14 2010,16:28)LU,What does Acts 3:26 say: 'To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent him to bless you…'Can a God be a Servant?Yes.

Quote (JustAskin @ Feb. 14 2010,16:21)LU,I don't get you. Are you saying that after all that has been said and proved, that you belive that Jesus is God, God Almighty, The Father, the Only Holy One?Have you become the 'new Thomas'?JustAskin,You are showing me something by this question…reading comprehension??? Take your time and go back and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 14 2010,16:18)Hi LU, We have one God.Is the vine more similar to the branch or the Gardener?Well, Nick, we have one Godhead but within that one Godhead we have the Father and the Son.The Son can do nothing apart from the Father and we can do nothing apart from the Son.John 15:55 “I am the vine, you are the branches; he…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ Feb. 14 2010,16:10)To all,Concerning the claim that Thomas called Jesus God and Jesus 'blessed him' for it.What did Jesus say to Thomas and why?Thomas did not believe that Jesus had been raised from the dead and was seen by the other disciples.Jesus appeared to him and proved his physical self to Thomas.Thomas is astonished and…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Feb. 14 2010,15:52)LUHeb 5:5 So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’” Heb 5:6 And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedeknow the scriptures say that Christ is a priest ,not a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 14 2010,15:43)Hi LU, Jesus did not come to preach himself as our God.If we become one with him we do not worship ourselves.Nick,That is true…He did not exalt Himself.  True humility, but He did know who He was and He received recognition when He was given it.  I don't know if we can truly comprehend the humility of C…[Read more]

That is right Nick and Terraricca,We will be one with them but we won't be on the throne like they are and we won't be called by anyone “my Lord and my God” like the Father and the Son are referred to.John 20:28-2928 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed…[Read more]

Hi Nick,One God who is the Father and He in unity with the one God who is the Son…not with equality but with unity. Thomas knew and someday you will too.John 20:28-2928 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” NASU

Hi Nick,John 20:28-2928 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” NASUI think you have to be blind to say that Jesus is not receiving this. I think it is the “smoking gun.” The pronoun “him” is singular and…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Feb. 14 2010,07:08)LUyou right again,but this is why the scriptures say that God knows the spirit of men and the motivesyou can not lie to Got ,to men yes but never to God.terraricca,Very true!

Quote (Elizabeth @ Feb. 14 2010,01:21)IMO  you can worship in many ways.  Saying a prayer that  uses lots of words, IMO God our Father really does not want us to do.  He loves a contrite and humble Spirit , a Heart that is only for Him.  A wise man said once that if you Sing to God it's praying twice.  That is were my Love is.  Also the Psalms…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Feb. 14 2010,06:48)LUyou right i did not specify the word LOVE,but i figure that people would understand if i say to worship God ;humbling yourself, applying  all the thing of God in your live,practice what is right in his eyes,working to help others in Gods will.this would imply our love for our God,don't you…[Read more]

JustAskin,What does your worship look like…take your latest act of worship if you be so vulnerable and describe it to us.Thanks,Kathi

Quote (terraricca @ Feb. 14 2010,05:54)JAwhat is worshiping the true God;? well let see what is not worshiping him;we may find the answer there;not worshiping God = is not recognize him as you creator, so worship him would be recognize him as your creator.not worshiping God= not recognize him as the giver of live the source of all things; so…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 13 2010,23:14)Hi Kathi, Hope you are well.If we could truly rely on Spirit to guide our lives, why do we need the Word of God?  Throw it away and do whatever you think the Spirit is telling you to do.”All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness…” (2…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll @ Feb. 13 2010,00:30)Quote (Lightenup @ Feb. 13 2010,09:32)Nick,I think we are at an impass because you insist on a clear teaching from Jesus' own words that we can worship the Son of God.  If it is not there then you will not worship the Son of God as the Son.  I believe that Jesus isn't going to tell us to worship Himself and l…[Read more]

God is a God of diversity. I read today that there were over 1000 types of Walking Sticks (the insect) and wondered why? Perhaps there are many ways to worship God and not necessarily the same way each time so that it doesn't become monotonous and without fresh meaning. We need to sing a new song from our heart and not lip sync, sing in a…[Read more]

Nick,But what is non-scriptural in that if anything? Do you think that by singing that you make Him an idol? Can you do anything apart from Jesus, Nick?
