Yes Nick,Because, although he was existing in the form of God, he made himself of no account by being made into the likeness of a human being.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 08 2012,18:55)Hi MB, You offer us a god from heaven seemingly already empowered by his nature. Why would he need to be anointed then?Acts 10.38Because he emptied himself and made himself of no account. Phil 2:7

Nick,You have made the claim that when Jesus said, I came down from heaven, it was the spirit speaking through him.YOU made the claim. Can you SCRIPTURALLY prove that claim?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 08 2012,17:34)Hi MB,Are you trying to muddy the water?The Jews knew about the coming Messiah .Nick,Have I posted something unscriptural? And yes, the Jews knew about Christ Jesus coming before he came, just as they knew about Christ Cyrus coming before he came. What is your point? Or do you even have one?

Why are you (With everyone else) so pre-occupied with this pre-existance business?Jesus exists now.Why dwell on whats been?John 17:3This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.Shimmer, if Jesus himself said the words, I…[Read more]

Nick,It is your own flawed logic and human thinking that is leading you to write your own version of scriptures.You are the one always putting logic down, right? Then don't think – just believe…………………..Jesus said, “I came down from heaven.”Again, DON'T think – just BELIEVE.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 07 2012,19:38)Hi T, God is not a God of confusion.. But confusion seems to follow youSays the man who thinks God has two opposing wills.  

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 07 2012,19:05)Simon most assuredly was aware of the prophecy concerning Jesus. And he thanked YHVH that he had seen his salvation.No Ed,Simeon thanked God for letting him see His CHRIST. Simeon couldn't have SEEN God's Christ unless Jesus was the Christ at 8 days old.Scripture, boys – not imagination and wishful thinking -…

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 07 2012,18:56)Hi MB, Spirit's mouth? Call in the medicos.Why do you address that to me, Nick? Ed is the one saying the spirit proceeds from the mouth of the spirit, not me.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 07 2012,18:55)Hi MB, Yes he saw the one prophesised to be the anointed one. The anointing had yet to fall.Show me the SCRIPTURE that says that, Nick.

Toby, I don't really care if you agree with me or not. I really and truly don't.Take care

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 07 2012,22:25)Mike………..The word Spirit has nothing to do with anything that can be see or has substance of any kind.Gene,What's the definition of the word “spirit” in Luke 24:37? What did the disciples think they were SEEING? How did Jesus answer them? Did he say, “You can't SEE spirits!”? Nope. He only…[Read more]

So the Spirit proceeds from it's OWN mouth?

Luke 225 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the p…[Read more]

I'm very aware of that verse, Ed. Tell me, does that verse mean that EVERY SINGLE WORD said in scripture is a prophecy? YES or NO?

Marlin,Scripture speaks of MANY gods, both in heaven and on earth. Satan is one of them. Jesus is another. And Jehovah is the God OF all the other gods.”God of gods” would be an odd title for Jehovah if there weren't any other gods for Him to be the God of.Same with “God Most High” and “God Almighty”.

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 07 2012,18:39)“his name is called The Word of God” (Rev 19:13) …“The Word”“out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword” (Revelation 19:15) …“The Spirit”So the Spirit is the sword that proceeds from the mouth of the Spirit?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 07 2012,18:36)Hi MB,Seems odd does it not that miracles were not seen from the manger but only after his anointing at the Jordan? Understand prophecy.Seems odd that you would not believe that God granted Simeon's request to see His Christ before he died.Seems odd that many people would come from far away to bring gifts…[Read more]
