Hi David,I agree with you on that last post. Just look at the culture at the time when there were those who believed in the sun god and the god of the dead, the god of this, the god of that. The Most High God is the God of everything good and the source of everything good. The son is the begotten God who is the receiver of those good things and…[Read more]

Thanks again Malcolm for you response. I tend to agree with you. Another question I would like to ask you if you don't mind. Can you call Jesus your great God and Savior and trust Him to be your God and if so, why, since you believe that He has a beginning?LU

Malcolm,Thank you so much for your input so far. I'm following your reasoning and agree,yeah! What is your response to the fact that the LORD claims that He alone stretched out the heavens and spread out the earth by Himself?Isa 44:2424 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the LORD, am the maker of all…[Read more]

Hi Malcolm,These are some scriptures that you can begin with to explain why the Son of God is called God:Titus 2:13-1413 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession,…[Read more]

Hi Malcolm,Great, I am glad that you agree that the Son of God was born before all creation. I have trouble keeping everyone's beliefs straight, sorry.I am still curious why you think that the Son of God is called God by the Most High God Himself and by others? LU

Hi Malcolm,Why do you think that the Son of God is called God by the Most High God Himself and by others? Also, regarding “firstborn” you said:Quote IMO Jesus was the uniquely begotten Son of GOD.One of a kind, born without an earthly father, born without a fallen nature,firstborn of GOD, firstborn also from the dead.The heir and unable to be…[Read more]

Hi Irene,Goodness! Your family is really being hit. Realize that God is not the one doing the “hit.” He however, is there going through this new storm with you as well as those still lingering. Assure Cindy that my prayers are with her. When is her surgery? Let's think positive here and hope for complete healing for this knee. Get the best…[Read more]

Hi Mandy,I understand about not being mature enough to handle the info yet.  My daughter will be supervised on here for sure.  Chat rooms and message boards are definetly in our kids futures so I thought it to be a good idea that she learn about it from my supervision and training point of view.Love, K

Hi Nick,I don't believe that Jesus had to be born again into the kingdom of God because God was already His Father.LU

Quote (malcolm ferris @ Sep. 30 2008,23:41)Was he anointed with GOD – yesWhen – from the river Jordan – making him the Christ.He was a man – thus he had his own spirit, which spirit was likened to a LAMB, a meek creature of earth that can be led.Like our spirit from birth? no – ours is fallen, by nature we are rebellious.Like us he had free will.…[Read more]

Good point Nick,Also see here:Luke 2:23″EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD”),NASUI think there needs to be a word study done on what it means to be called holy or born holy.Anyway, that is another difference between man and Christ, He was born holy, children of non-believers were not. Isn't that an advantage?LU

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 30 2008,02:53)Hi LU, Have you matched his hair colour?Are you as tall? Why argue with scripture which says he was the same, except for sin?Are you greater than scripture?Hi Nick,Hmmm! Was Jesus 5'5″ and blonde? I do ask my salon artist to match my haircolor to Jesus's. She says its the new rage

Quote Scripture says he was like us in all ways..except sin.Do you disagree with scripture?It should be enough. If He was from heaven, He wasn't like us in every way. Perhaps scripture means He was like us in every way necessary.LUPS I gotta sleep sometime but before I go I have to confess that I have been playing a reverse role on here tonight.…[Read more]
