Hi t8,

I just read your last post. I hope you are doing well. I have read in other topics where you have tried to tell people that I believe in two Gods but that does not give the accurate FULLNESS of what I believe. Maybe if I use the word “facet” in my description, you would find it easier to understand, so here goes…

Think about a single…[Read more]

T-that is where your understanding is sour. You think born means created. You were born and before you were born, you existed for several months within your mother in a living manner. You were kicking, moving, digesting, etc. Do you understand that you cannot come to the conclusion that the Son was created from the term firstborn.

Great T. Now how do you understand “firstborn” as applied to the Son? Do you understand it to mean first created or first born?

Yes Nick, I think we can call the Father and the Son “persons” because it helps to explain how we understand them. Perhaps you need clarification as to how I would define “person.” My definition: a distinct, indivisible entity containing a body (spirit form or physical form), and also a mind, will and emotions, which posesses the ability to think…[Read more]

T-Do you believe that Jesus, before creation, was created and thus a creation OR was He brought forth as an actual offspring and the same type of being as the one who beget Him?

Hi Kerwin and terraricca, nice to see you.

T-regarding your question, scripture wouldn’t change. Your understanding of scripture would change.

Nick you also asked:

Hi LU,

When I speak of the Father and the Son it is as Spirit.

God is spirit -and the Word was with God and was God.

The Word was made flesh -Jesus Christ came in the flesh.

Nick, Jesus became flesh, do not say that Jesus “came in the flesh”. There is a difference.

More from Nick:

Hi LU,

Do you agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a man found fit to be a vessel for the Spirit?

Do you believe that in the one Spirit God and His Son can indwell those who follow Jesus into this anointing?

Nick, where in the scriptures do you see that Jesus was a “vessel for the Spirit?” Please show me this phrase so I can…[Read more]

Hi Nick, Thanks for the welcome back.

you said:

Hi LU,

Welcome back.

My feeling is that we should not apply human concepts to what happens in the spiritual realm.

We should not follow the samples and of others because we fear God

God does not call Himself a PERSON.

It is a theological term men have applied rather dangerously to…

Hello everybody,

Hi Bo, I hope you are well. Have you ever asked God to show you who Jesus is in a dream? Watch this:

@boditharta
Good post!

Great Nick, we agree. Not sure why you mentioned the bit about when He walked on water, though.

Yes Nick, if they wanted to do what was best. Should non-believers follow God…yes they should.

Hi DavidH,
That is a good question. My understanding is that He was wanting to ascend to the Father asap and was indicating that He wasn’t there to stay. He wanted her to relay that to His disciples to remind them of what He had told them in John 14:28.

John 20:17
Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the F…[Read more]

@GeneBalthrop
The Bible says that YHVH alone created the creation. YHVH is both Father and Son-two persons. YHVH is God of gods AND Lord of lords. Jesus is the Lord of lords, Gene.

@DavidH,
No, I don’t believe that the resurrected body of Jesus has blood. His blood has been poured out. Why do you ask?

Hi Bo,
you said:

The main question is why are you considering an abomination as acceptable because people you know consider it acceptable?

Well, I don’t consider it acceptable, why do you think I do? I believe that when a nation claims to be ‘under God,’ the God of the Bible, the definitions of things like marriage should be in line with the…[Read more]

@GeneBalthrop
I understand that a day can be a thousand years long in God’s mind. However, the act of being begotten was an event.
The event when the Son was begotten happened BEFORE creation in order for creation to be an event to come through Jesus who is also called the firstborn of all creation and the beginning of the creation. The beginning…[Read more]
