This past fall I became involved in an ESL (English as a second language) ministry with my church. I have refugees from Sudan, Iraq, Peru, Panama, New Delhi, and Columbia in my class. I have grown very fond of them. A young mother of one of the families from Iraq told me that her uncle and two cousins were shot and killed by ISIS. The Uncle was…[Read more]

Poor t8, 20 years of searching and he still does not see that apart from the work AND unity of Father with His Son and Spirit, there is no eternal life offered to anyone nor would there be a book of John to quote from. He even posts this verse as if it proves there is no unity of God but right there before our eyes it says that we need to know the…[Read more]

you asked:
The question is (not exclusively), ‘If Jesus is (some kind of) GOD (Define your version of ‘God’… !) why is he GIVEN a RULERSHIP that is LESS THAN that which ‘HIS’ already?
First off…YHVH GOD = God of gods + Lord of lords
Secondly…Jesus emptied Himself to become a bondservant in the flesh, which would seem natural to m…[Read more]

Lightenup replied to the topic Proclaimer vs Lightenup in the forum Debates 9 years ago
You seem to believe that attributes, when begotten of God become living entites who are referred to as sons of God. You seem to believe that the difference between Jesus and all the other sons of God is that he was the first to be begotten before all the other sons. You seem to say that it was the act of ‘begetting’ that made him a son. Is…[Read more]

you said ( I added the letters a,b,c):
a.No mention of the fullness of God here and my words that you say are wrong are spot on with your above quote and many others. That was just the first one I came across without wasting too much time.
b.But let’s say that you meant to say (all along) that you are not talking about God having members, b…

you asked:
LU, where do you see anything from me about a mistake concerning Proverbs.It was when you gave the ESV as the translation that you quoted from for Proverbs 8:22 but you misquoted which gave it a whole different meaning.
You also asked:
LU, Jesus is a man, born holy and sinless by means of the overshadowing of a virgin (Mary) by…

Nice try but you still aren’t grasping what I’m trying to tell you.
I think this is what you think I am telling you:
God = 1 Father + 1 Son
However, this is what I am saying:
The fullness of God = 1 Father + 1 Son, in unity, as God (Father) and Lord (Son). Their Holy Spirit is the unity of their personal spirits that extends from them…[Read more]

Well, is that your way of admitting that you were indeed wrong with your quote of Proverbs 8:22? You simply dismiss it and not admit it. Also, learn about Hebrew words and their genders regarding terms like life and soul for instance.

You speak to Jael as if you agree with him and his theology. Seriously? He doesn’t even believe in the pre-existence of Christ.
Also, you speak as if I am alone in my beliefs even when the Nicene Creed is what I believe in. Is that wise? Do you think I wrote the Nicene Creed? Do you really believe that I invented that creed? How silly. I’m…[Read more]

you said a bunch of wrong asumptions here:
a.You seem to think that we live by the Nicene Creed. No, Lu, WE (I) DO NOT.
b.You see no credit given to God for raising Christ: ‘He rose again on the third day’, as if he did so of himself!! This because the creed would have to explain how Jesus is God but had to be raised by someone GREATER – t…

You are so confused.
you said:
Since trinitarians and JiG’s believe they are all the ONE PERSON…
Trinitarians believe they are three persons. You don’t even seem to know the basics of the trinity doctrine yet you debate it? Is that wise?

Seriously, you can’t see it?
you asked:
LU, read biblehub: “English Standard Version
“The LORD possessed me , the first of his acts of old.” (my brackets)Where is my ‘misquote’?
Here is your original quote:
Suffice it to say that ‘an eternal son’ does not match with ‘possessed me as the first of his works’.
