Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 06 2009,18:02)Hi LU, Was he anointed before birth or is that anointing recorded to be at his birth?Or was he anointed several times?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 06 2009,16:47)Hi LU,God's choice is not rescinded and when Jesus was born he was recognised as the Lord. But Christ means anointed one and anointings manifest in power. That power was shown after the Jordan.Nick,You are right that Christ means “anointed one.” He was called the anointed one “Christ” at birth as a man. He…[Read more]

Nick,I think that Jesus's baptism marked the beginning of His ministry. His baptism was an example for us to follow…it was a demonstration for what He wanted us to do also, not to mention that it gave John the Baptist a lot of credibility for his ministry. He drank the wine and ate the bread also when he was demonstrating another ordinance for…[Read more]

Nick,”Then he cottoned on”
That must be New Zealand for “then He got with the program.”
I like that phrase…but it makes no sense…is it an idiom of sorts?LULightenup replied to the topic John 1:1 in the forum Scriptural Teachings 16 years, 11 months ago
Hi Nick,I know and that part of my post was really just a “side note” of the rest of it. I know that Jesus wouldn't have done anything apart from His Father. I just thought it interesting that it was the mother that gave her son the direction to perform the miracle. He probably recognized the faith of His mother and that it was from GOD so He…[Read more]

Hi all,This is random but I had a thought today about something that was one substance, then by the word of Christ, it became another substance. Jesus performed His first miracle which He didn't seem to have forseen nor did He give GOD the glory of it. I thought that was peculiar since we know Him to do what He sees His Father doing. It seems…[Read more]
