No jammin,You THINK it refers to Jesus, but Jesus is often listed as someone OTHER THAN the One who laid the foundations of the earth.  In fact, you are trying to use Hebrews 1:10 to say Jesus laid the foundations of the earth.  But at the same time, you are ignoring Hebrews 1:1-2;In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at m…[Read more]

You mean those like Nicodemus, Asana?  It seems to me Jesus tried to teach this one who had “abused his position of power”, despite this fact.He even taught the Pharisees.  It's just that the pride they had in their own human understanding prohibited them from humbling themselves and accepting what Jesus was teaching them.  They could not bring th…[Read more]

jammin,Does God Almighty have a God of His own? YES or NO?

Quote (Marlin1 @ Jan. 14 2012,21:38)Brother Mike,Jesus on earth was both man and God,  He was the God Man.When Jesus cried, got cold and hungry He was a man.But when He said Lazarus come forth, He was God.How convenient for you, Marlin.    This way, you can just pick and choose and make up your own Jesus at will, right?  Let's start with a sim…[Read more]

Hi jammin,Hebrews 1:10 refers to the Father. He is the one called the God OF Jesus in 1:9.Does God Most High have a God of His own? YES or NO?

Quote (barley @ Jan. 15 2012,05:56)Jesus Christ first physical body was changed at his resurrection to that body he has now.Since that change to his resurrection body, there is no scriptural evidence of further change. He remains in his resurrection body.Hi barley,The resurrection body was made of flesh and bone and had the holes from the…[Read more]

Thank you Wakeup.2.  In John 17:5, is it THE PERSON Jesus Christ who longs to be returned to the glory HE (the person) HAD alongside God before the creation of the world?  YES or NO?

Quote (Ed J @ Jan. 14 2012,10:47)You brought it up here and that is why I posted it here. I should have said I will answer it here: here, being an actual link to the thread.I will try to remember to do that in the future; fair enough?Okay.

That's why we are supposed to be Jesus' hands and feet, and continue spreading the gospel until it has reached to the very ends of the earth.Tim, consider yourself served. God's Kingdom is coming, and you too can be a part of it by believing in the one He sent into the world to save it. If you ask, it shall be given.So what are you waiting for?…[Read more]

Ed,Shhhhh……. We're trying to have a discussion here. You are not helping anyone's cause, but just talking to talk.

Quote (Ed J @ Jan. 14 2012,12:46)Hi Mike,By George, I think you've got it! Ed,I know and YOU know that Jesus was not “God on earth”, right?But watch and see after Marlin answers.

Yes Wakeup. Ps 33 has more of the same beautiful, poetic speech to which I referred.I see I must be DIRECT with you, because you are good at running circles AROUND the points I make.1. Is Jesus Christ, THE PERSON, called by the title “the Word of God” in Revelation 19:13? YES or NO?

The words “only begotten” mean that Jesus was created in a way different from all the other things God created.  It DOESN'T mean he isn't a creation, as many other scriptures attest.Anyone who has ever existed, except for God Himself, is a creation of God.  Jesus is no exception.

Quote (Ed J @ Jan. 14 2012,11:13)Hi Mike,The point is: if certain questions are answered with a no, without an explanation as to why………….I have never added a stipulation to my YES or NO questions that one couldn't offer an explanation.Quote (Ed J @ Jan. 14 2012,11:13)I'm careful not to give information that can be used against me.Ed, if…[Read more]

Quote (Marlin1 @ Jan. 14 2012,11:26)As for your question, of course the Father is greater then Flesh. We are talking Spiritual things, you must separate flesh from spirit.But don't you preach that Jesus IS the God he said was greater than him? And now you want to play the “flesh versus God” natures of “God the Son” huh?Okay, then are you…[Read more]

Luke 24:37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a spirit.Gene, could you tell us what the bolded, supersized word above MEANS in this scripture? Can you give us the DEFINITION of that word?Let me remind you what Toby said, in case that helps you:“But, on a simple matter – Spirit, in context of Luke's verse, does mean 'Spirit…[Read more]
