Hello Jael,
From your most recent group of questions, I seem to remember that you had a problem with the Holy Spirit being referred to as a He or a Him. I believe that the Holy Spirit is the united spirits of both the Father and the Son. Their spirits are their inner persons. The inner person of someone is referred to as ‘it’ or ‘he’ or ‘she’…[Read more]

Thank you for your response, t8. I agree with some things you said. Although, regarding what He emptied Himself as…I think He emptied Himself of His memories and gave them to the Father for safe keeping. Little by little, Jesus grew in wisdom and received His memory back a portion at a time. Perhaps like if someone volunteered to go into amnesia…[Read more]

Jael,
you said:
Today I have become your Father, and you have become my Son
These are not words found in the original manuscript, sorry that you continue to not catch that after I have pointed it out to you.
There is a similar phrase that was used to identify Jesus as the promised Messiah in Psalm 2. It referred to the day of His resurrection…[Read more]

You asked (numbers added by me to correspond to my answers):
1.So born, begotten, begat does not mean come into existence?
2.The son comes from the Father because he was begotten.
3.But your view is that Jesus is an extension of God. Another limb or something.
4.Perhaps a substance that contains two persons like the Trinity with one less…

You are still clueless of the term ‘begat.’ If the act of begetting takes something that exists and moves it to another place, then obviously the actual begetting does not make something come into existence.
Also, an eternal Father would require the existence of an eternal Son. Without an eternal Son, there would not be an eternal…[Read more]

Yes, you are correct that He is both the firstborn over all creation and also the firstborn from among the dead. I am not challenging that. When He became ‘firstborn over all creation’ and when He became ‘firstborn from among the dead’ are two different events separated by many years. He obviously became the firstborn over all…[Read more]

Jael,
Please read my last response to you more slowly and respond to what I asked of you in the first part.
Thank you.

Jael , your mind is racing. Slow down and find that most pressing question that you want to ask me and then I will address it here. Until then, I will pick a question of yours and address it in the one on one discussion thread that I made to keep my answers collected in a more comprehensive manner, if and when I have time.
Thanks!

Yes, Jael, I believe that the Father is the only true God, YHVH, together with the Son and their Spirit.
I believe that the Son is Jesus Christ from within the unity of the Almighty God.

The true God is defined as YHVH and YHVH is the God of gods and the Lord of lords.

I have shown you where the Son is called the eternal life that was with the Father from the beginning. Therefore, He always existed.
I have shown you that begetting does not necessarily mean created but merely bringing something forth from one place to another. Nothing can be brought forth from one place to another unless it already…[Read more]
