Hi t8,I don't think that God is referred to as the invisible God because He has no form or body type. In fact, He let Moses see His “form”. Also, Jesus saw Him.Num 12:6-8″Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream. 7 “Not so, with My servant…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 02 2008,22:53)Hi WJ, You say”Yes, you are correct, there is no scripture that says Yeshua was born a son before the world began.”Then say” In fact the scriptural evidence leans toward the “eternality of Yeshua”.” If you are prepared to back the first statement as what being written is insufficient as proof, why trust your…[Read more]

Hi Nick,I know. I thought you might like this one.LU

Hi All,In the following passage Jesus is talking to some very religious Jews who claimed God as their very Father. Jesus tells them that God was not their Father. Why, because they did not know Him (Jesus). What does that mean, they knew him, they were in fact talking to him. If someone were to ask them if they knew who Jesus was they would…[Read more]

Hi all,Here might be something else to chew on:Isa 48:16 “Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, From the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord GOD has sent Me, and His Spirit.”And this passage (notice the switch from you did this and he did that, sounds like two were involved):Ps 1041 Bless the…[Read more]

Hi all,I am a kitchen designer by trade. I believe that every kitchen comes about because of a designer whether it is an uneducated and unexperienced one or one with experience and talent. I would never tell a client to set off some exposives in the area that they would like there kitchen to be and in the morning they would have a kitchen in…[Read more]

Hi Nick and Mandy,Thanks Mandy for your insight here. Thanks Nick for your answer.Now, just to clarify, Abraham did not seek to kill the pre-existent Christ who has told him the truth, which he heard of God. That is the deed he did not do.My point is why would Jesus speak of this unless He actually had been in the physical presence of Abraham and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 02 2008,00:58)Hi LU,The LORD in the OT is never Jesus. It was originally written YHWH. Jesus is not God but the Son of God YAHSHUA. God frequently manifested among men as His angel and sometimes men thought they had met God Himself.Nick,You “speculate” that the third “man” in the passage was an angel but it doesn't say…[Read more]

Nick,What “thing” did Abraham not do that the Jews were doing? And to whom did he not do them to?John 8:39-41 ” If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham. 40 “But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. NASUMaybe you can answer this without speculating. LU

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 01 2008,23:32)Hi LU, Why speculate about such matters?Do we know the mind of God enough to predict His ways? Surely we should rely on what can be shown rather than speculations?2 Timothy 2:23But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels.Nick,I knew you were going to push the “why…[Read more]

Quote (epistemaniac @ Sep. 01 2008,02:09)ps, and btw LU, re the title “firstborn” elsewhere I wrote “In the Scriptures the term “first born” of course can mean the literal first born child in a chronological sense, but it can also be a title of honor… now, we know (or we should know) that the Scriptures do not contradict themselves, right?…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 01 2008,15:33)Hi LU, Why should God send His Son twice when He usually sent His angels to do His work?God is fair and expects us to follow Jesus.Jesus did not have a head start having previously had a physical existence on earth IMO.Hi Nick,The way I see it is if God wanted us to believe that His Son was living back when…[Read more]

Hi all,Regarding whether or not Jesus existed while Abraham was alive, this passage seems pretty clear to me. In this passage in John 8, Jesus is talking to the Jews. These Jews declared themselves to be sons of Abraham, and even sons of God. They seem to be devout in their religion. Jesus dares to tell them that they aren't sons of Abraham at…[Read more]
