Well, it seems that Thaddaeus, a disciple of Jesus, knew that Jesus was not God Himself, but the Son OF God.It seems as if Abgar also believed the same, since he believed both in Christ AND in his Father.I don't quite follow “THE true God” part, and assume it is really A true god, since I also assume that the Armenians had many gods.  The part…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 08 2011,07:41)Mike.Quote Kerwin, did you even read the scriptures I listed?  What exactly do you think Jesus was trying to tell the Pharisees?  (I'll give you a hint:  It was the SAME EXACT THING we've been trying to tell you…………..that he was not only the BRANCH of David, but ALSO THE ROOT.) The scripture Jesus qu…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 08 2011,07:41)I inferred the answer to your question in this post by speaking of God as part of the broader unity of the Spirit.I'm sorry Kerwin; this is nothing but gibberish to me.  I feel like I'm talking to Kathi about her “compound unity”.  Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 08 2011,07:41)The Son is the union of Jesus the human being a…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Aug. 08 2011,16:00)Again you preexistences have disregarded hundreds if not thousands of scriptures the show Jesus did not preexist his berth on the earth as a sentential being of any kind in heaven.As usual, no DIRECT response to the points I made.  How disappointing, yet expected.Gene, I like your words here.  Let's do t…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 08 2011,13:41)Really? Where is the scripture that Jesus was exalted to a higher place than in the beginning when he was the Word that was with God and was God who came in the flesh?Philippians 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,Hebrews 1:4So he became as…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 08 2011,10:06)You are using two different measurements as those that claim that flesh can’t contradict scripture that states that it might.No I'm not, Kerwin.  Scripture CLEARLY says that flesh cannot INHERIT the Kingdom of God.  It says nothing about God's ability to take a flesh man up to heaven for a quick peek if He wan…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Aug. 08 2011,07:31)Mike……….Nothing “fishy” about it , Jesus just told them that Spirit do not have flesh and bone bodies as he HAD.There you go again, Gene…………….adding words into the scriptures.  That is one habit you're going to have to break someday if you ever hope to know the TRUTH of the scriptures.…[Read more]

Good use of James 2:19, Pierre!

Hi Ed,I just now realized you brought me over into your new thread since I hadn't visited of my own volition. I have just told you in the other thread what Kathi has apparently already told you in this thread.Check for the dangling genitive, my friend.

Quote (seekingtruth @ Aug. 07 2011,19:47)dangling participle… WHAT!…

With all gentleness and respect, Kathi, this argument should stop right now! (Because we are off topic for this thread! )peace and love to you my friend,mike

Btw, your link only showed three pages of people trying to twist our ONE God into TWO Gods…………….AGAINST all scriptural teaching.  It is written, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”I know this “ONLY TRUE GOD”, Kathi.  AND I know the one this ONLY TRUE GOD sent.  …[Read more]

I have also set Jesus apart as the one whom his God appointed as our Lord.  And thank you for reminding the others that when they finally DO answer my questions, they should do so with gentleness and respect.  

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 07 2011,13:29)A. Do store owners consider YHVH to be their “Owner”?B. Does satan consider YHVH to be his “God”?A. It varies. But whether or not they consider YHWH to be their “Owner”, He is nonetheless.B. Absolutely.

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 07 2011,13:24)How does YOUR belief in gods square up with 2 Kings 5:15?Also, explain how YOUR belief squares with Isaiah 44:6?

It is written: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.”
