journey,Listen to your own words for the answer:“Jesus was the Word of God wasn't he?”The One the Word was OF is the ONE who created all things. That ONE is the only “source”.Look what else you said:“All things were created through the Word.”Let me remind you: He who creates is ONE, and he THROUGH WHOM the thing is created is ANOTHER. -…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Jan. 12 2014,20:22)Yes Mike. They believe that God instantly created another human to save all humans. So now that they are together in Heaven, they are getting to know each other I suppose.The truth is, God created all things through Jesus Christ. This no one can deny who takes scripture seriously. Thus, it is fitting that God also…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Jan. 13 2014,10:47)Jesus is not God Almighty, I declare that, but before he was Jesus, he was the Word of God. The bible says that, and as confusing as it sounds to everyone, I understand it and get it.I get that too. I don't declare that he didn't already have the name “Jesus” when he was at God's side in the beginning – like…[Read more]

Pierre has it correct.  Colossians 1:15 tells us that Jesus was the firstborn of every creature. In the sane world, that translates into “the first creature ever brought forth into existence”.Revelation 3:14 tells us that Jesus was the beginning of the creation by God.  In the sane world, that translates into “the first thing God ever c…[Read more]

I hope so, because you didn't answer any of them with that last post.

And what kind of “body” is meant by the word “natural” in the translation I quoted?Would it be safe to assume that Paul was talking about the natural body made of flesh, blood and bone that all humans possess?

Quote (4Thomas @ Dec. 29 2013,18:34)Thanks Mike,Jesus is God by nature, he is not the source but the radiance of the source.Hi Daniel,Only the “source” is God the Creator.  If Jesus is not that “source”, then Jesus is not God the Creator.I noticed that you didn't specifically reply to the points I made in my last post.After you directly address…[Read more]

1 Corinthians 1542 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable……..44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.Is Paul still talking about the BODIES of those raised from the dead in the above verses?

Okay.

Quote (Wakeup @ Jan. 09 2014,19:53)Mikeb.You should know that Jesus will be in subjection to God.Jesus in God, and God in all.And what does “in subjection TO God” mean, Wakeup? And how does that scriptural teaching fit in with YOUR claim that Jesus is back to BEING God again?
