Hi Nick,Yes He was truly a man but not merely a man.

Hi Nick,That is true Nick, the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which is why those that are enlightened cannot comprehend the Light and receive Christ. I wonder what it will be like when satan is locked up for 1000 years.

Hi Nick,He shines on every man but not all will comprehend it and receive Him.

Hello to all,Well Irene, here I am “exposing myself” as someone that does other things besides debate and encourage over Bible understandings.I am raising five great kids in a beautiful part of Tennessee.  My youngest is 11/girl, then the rest boys 15, 17, 19, and 21.  I have lived through having 4 teenage boys at once and now only 3 are t…[Read more]

Dear MartianSee my post at the top of page 1065 of this trinity forum for an explanation relating to your questions regarding the pre-existence of Christ.I welcome your comments.

Hello Nick,This is a very good question. Let's look at a few passages:John 1:9-109 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. NASUIt does say “enlightens every man” so the answer to your question is yes, Jesus is the light that enlightens every man.John 1:55 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did…[Read more]

I agree Nick,Jesus is the Light, which came into the world to show us the way to God and the truth of God and to change us from having a life filled with darkness to a spiritual life filled with the light He emits.John 14:66 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. NASU

Hi Nick,You write:God is the light Source.I write:I agree with you on that Nick. God definetely IS the light source. He is the Father of lights and He is the Father of Jesus who, as it is written, is the Light. John 8:12Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, ” I am the Light of the world;NASUJohn 9:5-65 “While I am in the world, I am the Light…[Read more]

Dear Gene,You have a common question and I think that the Bible gives us insight in this.You write:God did not Kill Jesus and then rebirth him in Mary, He was simply in the Plan and will of GOD from the foundations of the earth. Peter Had it right when He said, Jesus was foreordained before the foundations of the earth (BUT) was manifested…[Read more]

Hello all,I have posted this in pre-existence but I think that it also belongs here:I grew up as a trinitarian and defended the doctrine when challenged. Then one day I was challenged with the verse Col 1:15-1615 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. NASUI asked God to show me what that term meant “firstborn of all…[Read more]

Hi Nick,You wrote:My point is that God is more than wisdom. Jesus too is more than wisdom. I write:I certainly agree with that. I'm sorry if I misunderstood you. That happens sometimes. I thought your point was that Prov 8:22-31 didn't refer to Jesus. My bad.Blessings!

Hi Nick,If you want to believe that God didn't always have wisdom, that is up to you. I remain in my position that the passage Prov 8:22-31 refers to Jesus. The Old Testament doesn't clearly explain where it speaks of Jesus because it was not time for Him to be revealed. We have to look to the New Testament for that. The New Testament does…[Read more]

Hello Cult Buster,I read through your verses that you claim to prove that Jesus is equal to God.  I believe that the Bible tells us that Jesus is equal to the only begotten God and in fact He is the “only” begotten God.  However, I do not believe that the only begotten God is equal to the Most High God-His Father.  I think that the scriptures yo…[Read more]

Dear Mrs.You seem so concerned.  I think you do not understand my position on Jesus' pre-existence.  I am pasting a message that I posted in the pre-existence board for you:”Hi,Yes, I believe that the only begotten God was serving the Most High God and praising Him also but not only in heaven but at times on earth as well.  I believe that the be…[Read more]

Hi Keeper,You write:Jesus Christ (The Word) was always thereMicah 5:2 2But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.I write:This would be a good verse to say that Jesus possibly…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Yes, he sure can and so can his servants. 2 Cor 11:13-1513 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as anangel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end…[Read more]

Hi Nick,You asked me a question a few pages back.  Sorry for the delay but life around my home often takes me away from these forums.  I know that makes a dialogue difficult to follow.  Anyway, here is your good question:Jesus is never called OUR God.Are all called THEOS our God?Here is my reply:Theos is used of whatever can in any respect be li…[Read more]

Dear “Guest”,I can understand your frustration and as one that had been accepting of the trinity doctrine in the past, I will attempt to give you my understanding on this verse.Isaiah 43:1111 I, even I, am the LORD,      and apart from me there is no saviorIf the Most High God did not forordain and accept Jesus' sacrifice then neither of them wo…[Read more]

Hi Nick,John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. NASUJn 1.188No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,who is at the Father's side, has made him known.Both translations correctly reflect that the one that is at the Father's side is called God because the…[Read more]
