Quote (Wakeup @ Mar. 03 2014,21:21)The name Jesus was only since he was born;made flesh.Not before.Before creation He was the Word of God.God brought forth his Word and given Him a form like us.I don't know of any scripture that says he wasn't named “Jesus” until he was born of Mary – but I agree with that part of your post, Wakeup.The being known…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 03 2014,20:42)Hi MB, The spiritual man John saw the WORD when he saw Jesus Christ. He neatly provided the bridge to our understandingYes he did, Nick.  Because not only did John tell us that the one they saw with their own eyes and touched with their own hands was “The Word” – he also told us that “The Word” is the one…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 03 2014,18:37)Hi MB,Can you show me the scripture.The Word became flesh does not say that.You can find this teaching all throughout the first chapter of John's gospel…… but specifically 1:14.The Word didn't just become flesh, Nick.  It became flesh AND dwelled on earth with the glory of God's only begotten Son.And…[Read more]

Quote (carmel @ Mar. 04 2014,00:12)Quote If I said the words, “I am”, the “I” part would refer to the entirety of me.Mike, OK! AND WHAT THAT INCORPORATES?Peace and love in JesusCharlesI assume your asking what the word “I” would incorporate. And I already told you, “the entirety of me”, right?What else are you asking?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 05 2014,17:14)Hi MB, And indeed from the Jordan Jesus was the Word. He embodied and was in complete submission to the Spirit.So Jesus WAS indeed “the Word”. But he merely “embodied” the Spirit?That means he WAS the Word, but WASN'T actually the Spirit. How then can you claim that “The Word” and “The Spirit” are one and…[Read more]

Hi Keith,I actually agree with most of what you wrote in that last post to me.  I disagree with your conclusion that those things mean we have a Triune God, and Jesus is one of the persons in that God.Jesus is indeed the IMMEDIATE source for much of what we have, and will have.  But he is not the ULTIMATE source of those things.For example, J…[Read more]

Is “The Word” a part of the very being of God, like the Holy Spirit is?Scripture says NO.

Gene,You are now welcome to post here as well. This thread is open to all.

You've got it backwards, Nick.Scripture says the Word became Jesus of Nazareth.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 03 2014,18:14)If God chose to separate to himself a servant aspect of His Spirit fully fitted with His abilities why should we argue?That “servant aspect” DIED, Nick.
