Gene, great minds must think alike. As you were posting your comment about prophets to me, I was posting a similar comment on “title confusion” or something like that. Funny

WJ says “But that is your choice and as far as Heb 1:2 the writer confirms his intent in verse 10 when he shows the Father attributing the creation of the universe with Jesus own hands!That is clear. You can choose not to believe it if you like, but the scriptures tell us all things came into being by him (Jesus) and nothing came into being…[Read more]

Hi KathiI'm getting lost I think because of your wording. You call the Son “our God”, but for us, there is only one God, the Father. I don't disagree that Jesus is a god in that he is a supernatural being and an integral part of our salvation, but to say Jesus is our God and the Father is our God makes two Gods. Maybe I'm understanding you…

I agree, Gene. Let's keep it simple. As I understand it, the Trinity Doctrine states that there is one Godhead. This Godhead is one being shared by three co-eternal, co-equal persons:Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are all God, but each plays different roles.But God is, “from everlasting to everlasting…” according to Moses in Psalm 90:…[Read more]

Thanks GeneI knew I couldn't be the only one out there taking this trinity stuff as a personal insult to our God. I listen to K-love on the radio and it makes me sad for God to hear people praying, “Dear Jesus, ……Amen.” The only way to come to God is through Jesus. That's why we pray to God through Jesus' name. Isn't that enough of a dis…[Read more]

And read the next verse in Hebrews, “therefore God, your God has set you above your companions.” So even as Jesus is referred to as a god, it is made clear that it is his God who has the power to set Jesus where He pleases. I think you're getting too hung up on the title “god”. It was used for prophets, angels, Satan, idols, Jesus and God. R…[Read more]

Lightenup, Look at it this way. You gave me a billion dollars to distribute to the needy. I put my own $100 in the gas tank and drove around to the poorest neighborhoods distributing your money. I took great care to say things like “make sure you know this comes from Lu” and “Lu is greater than I” and “my food is to do the will of Lu” and “I ca…[Read more]
mikeboll64 replied to the topic lord and god equal terms in the forum Truth or Tradition 16 years, 9 months ago
Hi, Elizabeth! There seems to be some confusion about the name of God. Alot of people seem to think the word lord means, or is the name of God. In Exodus 3:14, God tells Moses at the burning bush that His name is, “I am who I am” or “I will be what I will be” (depending on the translation). That personal name of God Almighty is, in the Heb…[Read more]

“my lord and my God” has caused me a great deal of thought, also. And it's too bad not much more is in scripture about Thomas. But I agree that either:(a) Thomas was talking to both Jesus and Jehovah;(b) Thomas was calling Jesus a god; or  Thomas actually thought that Jesus was God. None of the choices prove a trinity. If you think it was (…[Read more]

As far as “bury them alive like sheol”, aren't skinned alive, burned at the stake alive and eaten alive all similar? Yet none of these results in the victim living. And as far as John 2:19, what Jesus was saying to the Jews who didn't believe that he was the Messiah was, “Look, your house (temple) is left to you desolate”, and I will be the new…[Read more]
