Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 08 2010,15:06)Hi LU, A godhead?? A binity godhead? We are told true worshipers worship God in spirit and truth by Jesus We are to offer a sacrifice of praise to God in our temples helped by his Spirit.But folks make up their own waysNick,I do think that we are subject to a Godhead made up of one God, the Father and one…[Read more]

Quote (Dancingforyounomore @ Feb. 08 2010,13:45)I personally don't believe that Proverbs is speaking of Jesus as being “wisdom”.   For instance Wisdom is spoken of as a “SHE”. “Wisdom has built HER  house, SHE has prepared HER food, SHE has mixed her wine; SHE has sent out her maidens, SHE calls”……”   Proverbs 9:1-3Hi Dancingfynm,Learn ab…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ Feb. 08 2010,08:27)LU,I don't think you know what you are saying when you say that you WORSHIP God and his Son.I think you mean that you Praise, Glorify and Honor him in your singing, your prayers and your thoughts.If this is the case then all is good and you are Spirit filled.Please can you tell me HOW you perform your…[Read more]

Mike,I think that the price to restore fellowship between the Father and mankind was paid for by the greatest and most perfect the Father had to give since He couldn't send Himself, He sent His Son…who was willing. Obviously His Son became what was necessary to accomplish the task and that is what is important. We could speculate on and on but…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll @ Feb. 06 2010,15:45)Hi Kathi, I very much enjoy your approach to “debating” the deity of Jesus.  You are not condescending or rude or arrogant.First, that passage in Proverbs talks not only of wisdom, but of understanding and prudence.  If you are going to physically embody wisdom in Christ, who embodies understanding?  And who em…[Read more]

Quote (glad tidings @ Feb. 06 2010,15:34)Hi Kathi,May I exhort you to consider the following truths from the scriptures. 1.  God cannot die (the scriptures say that He is immortal),  but Jesus was dead three days and three nights.2.  God has foreknowledge; Jesus only knew things (future) to the extent that His Father revealed to him.  Jesus doe…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ Feb. 06 2010,15:22)LU,This is talking about Wisdom – Not Jesus.Noone has yet made a compelling presumption that it is talking about Jesus.The issue of whether Jesus was 'from everlasting' cannot be establish as there is nothing to clear in the scriptures to make this claim without refute.Perhaps it is not of concern (like the…[Read more]

Quote (glad tidings @ Feb. 06 2010,11:03)I always liked this analogy explaining how God, as The Saviour, and Jesus, as The Saviour are distinct from one another, yet working towards the same purpose:  (caution, like the parables, don't over analyze the details of this analogy too much; there's only one simple point that is intended to be brought…[Read more]

Hi Mike,I understand this passage in Proverbs to refer to the Son of God…many people do also. This is where I get that He was from everlasting which can be translated as “ancient times.”Quote Prov 8:23-3123 “From everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth. 24 “When there were no depths I was brought…[Read more]

Mikeboll,Thanks for your reply. We do read that passage differently. Let's think for awhile about how Jesus is quite different than any other being that has been called “god” other than the Father.He is credited with taking part in creation and will take part in the new creationHe is from everlastingHe can forgive sinsHe can give us lifeHe can…[Read more]

Quote (Elizabeth @ Feb. 04 2010,12:59)To allNo question, the word “god” has been much debated.What does it mean?Who all is god?What kind of god is Jesus?So I thought I bring to your attention that the bible speaks of many gods, in many places.Psa 81:9   There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.  The q…[Read more]

Nick,Here are the three verses you mentioned in the KJ and the NASB:Quote Rom 1:20-2120 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as…[Read more]

Quote (Gene @ Feb. 03 2010,15:36)LU……….The word (ONLY) is more appropriately (uniquely) because scriptures say ADAM was also a SON OF GOD, right?Gene,If you look up all the verses where “monogenes” is the Greek word, you will find that “only” is a part of the translation…not unique as you say.Adam was of God. Technically, the Greek…[Read more]

Nick,I have read the threads. The only begotten Son is the most likely of all to be what monogenes means. In the Bible translations, the word “only” is in every one that I have read through. Can you find a verse with “monogenes” in it where it does not translate as having “only” as part of the translation. I really don't think that it is up…[Read more]

C'mon Nick,Just tell me what YOU think it means. I think it might take you about 10 seconds considering your “woodpecker typing”
