Hi Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to this topic, I know you are real busy these days.
You asked me this:
But where do you place God’s other faithful servants like Michael and Gabriel in your two-choice scenario? Are they God, or neighbor? Where do you place your own children as compared to a person who molests and t…

Mike,
Here are my thoughts about the lunar eclipse as it eclipses from the top down or from the bottom up. It has to do with what hemisphere you are on. In other words, to those on the Northern hemisphere, if the moon is going from 5 degrees north of the ecliptic plane to 5 degrees south of the ecliptic plane in it’s orbit, it will eclipse from…[Read more]

It might help you, Jodi, and Ed, to think of the Son as a “part” of the Father, the one true God. He is the very important “part” of the Father that goes back and forth from the realm of the Father to the realm of creation. He is how God is with us while the Father is in the heavenly realm of unapproachable light being invisible to us.
He (the…[Read more]

Hi Nick,
you asked:
Why do need to take an intellectual and theoretical approach to how you relate to God and His Son?
Do you not know them and fellowship with them in the one Spirit yet?
Would you prefer an unintelligent approach, Nick? Wisdom is from God, do you advocate an unwise approach to relating to the Father, Son and Spirit. That would…[Read more]

Anthony,
Thank you for your response. In order for someone to be begotten, they need to already exist before the begetting. For example, in order for you to be brought out of your house, you have to be in the house beforehand.
Jesus was IN the Father before He was brought out/begotten from the Father, do you agree?
The Son, being eternally…[Read more]

Jodi,
you said:
Isaac was not Abraham’s firstborn son, but he was CALLED that according to a PROMISE.
Do you mean to say that Isaac was called the “only begotten” according to a promise? Maybe you can show me where he is also called the “firstborn” of Abraham. I am not aware of that.
Thanks,
LU

Jodi,
I believe you are confused when you said:
I think LU said it right here, “Anthony, i don’t think were adopted,…
You are quoting what I quoted Gene saying. I completely believe that believers are “adopted sons.” I put up verses that make that crystal clear.
Lightenup replied to the topic 2 Commandments, in Which Way do YOU Love Jesus in the forum Scriptural Teachings 7 years, 11 months ago
So Nick,
Since you said this “You too try to divide God from His Son,” does that mean you love the Son according to the first commandment? Please clarify. I thought you would love the Son as yourself, as a neighbor in the second commandment since to you He is just a man.

Good Dig4truth,
Claiming Jesus as your Lord and God would definitely place your love in the first commandment category! Thanks for your response here.
Blessings,
LU

Hi WJ,
you asked:
Why does it put part of my quote in Kathi’s?
It is probably because you did not click on the “ mark on the toolbar above. When finished quoting someone, click on the “ mark which would change it from quote to non-quote.
That should help. There are some nuances with the quoting process than there were way back when. You’ll get t…[Read more]

Are you addressing that to me, Nick? If so, a false church would produce bad fruit.
Find a good church, one that produces good fruit: love, joy, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, handling accurately the Word of God, providing water baptism, serving communion, equipping the saints, reaching the lost, worshiping the F…[Read more]

Mike,
you asked:
This is the bottom line of what I want to know from you and @t8:
- Did the ancient Hebrews consider the earth to be stationary, and fixed on pillars? YES or NO?
- Did the ancient Hebrews consider the sun and the moon to be two different lights in the firmament? YES or NO?
- Did the ancient Hebrews consider the fi…

Nick,
Do you serve the Father, do you also serve the Son? Unless they are together as ONE God, then you are serving two masters.

Hi Nick,
You are right that it is easier to relate to Jesus and follow Him and obey Him, that is one reason that the Father sent the Son who willingly went, to help us to relate to Him since He became flesh like us. He is the head of the church, the church gathers…find one. It will do you good!

Anthony,
you said:
Lightenup what Im saying is that before time was before the creation of anything Jesus was begotten of the Father Yahweh the Father had no beginning. the Son came out of the Father, and that’s when the Son began, He had everything because He is the Son of God the only begotten of the Father. First the Father ( no beginning) s…

Yeah, you read the OP correctly! Thank you for your direct and bold response, Keith! That bold declaration is the evidence of being born again by the Spirit. Not many can confess that unfortunately. Your name does indeed say it all, haha.

Nick,
You are letting your fears keep you from searching for a church that teaches the Word of God. That spirit of fear is not from God. Who do you think wants to keep you out of church Nick? God or satan? Follow God. No church is perfect but some are much better than others. God can use imperfect churches. Look at their fruit and value that. We…[Read more]

Nick,
The Lord will use the members of His body to help bring people into the fold and/or encourage them and build them up spiritually and in truth. Don’t despise or neglect the questions or the concern.
