No Nick,A Father who happens to be the Most High God and His only offspring.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 20 2009,00:35)Hi LU, Yes but Jesus was not forever one with God but became one with him. He was not a clone or an outcrop of God.

Nick,The Son and angels are all separate beings united together to the Spirit of the Father until sin separated some of the angels. Sin never separated the Son from His Father. IMO

Nick,Are you joined to the Father by the Spirit? Are you a son? He is THE Son joined by the spirit…never was separated. There was never sin found in Him.

Just chiming in here,I think that Jesus had His own spirit which existed from the time just before creation and was in a heavenly body. I also believe that His spirit was always united to the Spirit of His Father for there was no sin to have seperated them. Two separate spirits united from the beginning. Then we receive that united spirit to…[Read more]

Nick,Does Luke 4 say that He “became” filled with the Holy Spirit or that He “received” the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit descended on Him like a dove…where else does that happen like that? That is not an indicator anywhere of a baptism of the Holy Spirit.LU

Nick,Neither was there any shown with John. In fact, I would say that John shown even less fruit but he was filled from the womb. You do not hold John to the same test of evidence of an existing Spirit…why?
Lightenup replied to the topic The Way in the forum Scriptural Teachings 16 years, 10 months ago
Not so fast Nick,Show us the fruit you need to see in Jesus before His ministry began after the Jordan in John the Baptist before his ministry began. Show me the GIFTS of the same Spirit as shown in 1 Cor 12 in John the Baptist before his ministry.LU
Lightenup replied to the topic The Way in the forum Scriptural Teachings 16 years, 10 months ago
Hi Nick,I just want to add here that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit while in his mother's womb yet he did not bear the fruit of that (the type you are looking for in Jesus anyway) till he was called out of the desert to start his ministry. So, we do see the faithful son aspect in Jesus as a young boy and also understanding…[Read more]
