You’re welcome miia, that’s interesting…who would have thought I would have something in common with good old Albert et al, ha.

@t8

An eternal prototype cannot become replicated into something with the same essence because the significant ‘eternalness’ within the prototype’s essence would be completely impossible to replicate. An eternal prototype can however begat another of the same eternal essence if the one begotten was also eternal and had the exact essence of the…[Read more]

Hi t8,

Been a while since I went to this discussion of ours. I stopped by to find a post that I made about cell division and how a parent cell begets an offspring cell during mitosis which showed how two in number are only one in essence. Well I found it on page 9 of this discussion, dated  in 2012. I will quote part of what I said there:

Hi Nick,

How many can sing in your church or are you the only one?

Jodi:

you claimed:

As you know there is no passage that says Jesus is the “only begotten God” that is your addition.

New International Version
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

New Living Translation
No one has ever seen God. But the uni…[Read more]

And that rock was Christ.
1 Cor. 10:4.

Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

2 Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill the law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for e…[Read more]

Hi Dig4truth,

Do you not understand the difference between metaphors and non-metaphors? If God is speaking metaphorically then it is to be understood that way…it is a true metaphor. It would be false to understand something as literal when meant metaphorically, right?

Thank you Alex for this, we stand united…yeah for unity in the only begotten Son:

“8. And His proper and peculiar, natural and excellent Sonship, St. Paul has declared, who thus speaks of God: Who spared not His own Son, but for us, who were not His natural sons, delivered Him up. Romans 8:32 For to distinguish Him from those who are not…[Read more]

Nick you said in response to this question “Who do you say Jesus is?”:

Yes Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Not God the son and not God.

Those are just idolatrous inventions of carnal men

It was the carnal man that said that He was just a prophet.

Hebrews 5

The Perfect High Priest

      1For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; 2he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness; 3and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrific…[Read more]

Nick,

It is the saving faith in the Messiah that saves a man regardless of the time frame, the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. Some in the OT had a saving faith in the Messiah before He even came to earth as the promised child. So when Jesus, the babe is proclaimed by angels to be the Savior, He had already been saving many.…[Read more]

The Son of God has been The Savior since before the foundation of the world. Many believed in the Messiah long before He came as a child born to them.

Psalm 110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

Great message for what is going on here:

This looks like it could be very helpful here and now:

Mike,

Thank you for understanding. My prayer lately is that Father God delivers us from evil and graces us with a sound mind and wisdom and truth in the knowledge of His precious only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

Be blessed,

Kathi

Nick,

He had to be begotten/born of Sarah to receive the promise. Both the birth and the promise were required.

Nick,

regarding Abraham and his “only begotten son” Isaac…

We realize that Abraham had a son Ishmael first and then a son Isaac. We also are told that Isaac is the son that was meant to participate in the promise of the covenant, not Ishmael. So, if I asked you this question:

Who was the begotten son of Abraham who received the promises?

a.…[Read more]

@Anthony,

Now we ask again: To whom is the arm  of Yahuweh revealed?

Who has believed the report seen in Isaiah 53? Who has believed this astonishing news or tidings presented?
