Hi Jodi,
I offer Isaiah 42.
Jesus is shown as a servant, chosen by God, upheld by God, empowered and equipped with
the Holy Spirit. His ways are quiet, gentle, kind and merciful. His work is that of God in him
and he has no power of his own. Appointed to his role he brings light into a darkened world,
healing and freedom, and bringing for…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,
I offer Isaiah 53.
In contrast to the traditional picture of a tall handsome strong and heathy man we see a nondescript, downtrodden, weak, perhaps unattractive man, who was unpopular, and possibly people felt sorry for him. Having no advantages over others , rather being disadvantaged to show the powers of God in him. An anointed man…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,
The verse you quote says that Jesus was made both Lord and Christ.
Not that he was MADE.

Hi T8,
Yes the messiah was born in Bethlehem.
Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem.
Do you think this implies something about an anointing prior to his birth?
You should find it written and you would not need logic and implication.
You stumble still over the prophetic word and it divides you from us.

Hi Anthony,
Those deluded into subjection to the OT Law always make keeping the Sabbath vital.
Desperate to please God they neglect the essential rebirth from above
But we follow the one who is the Lord of the Sabbath.
And the new Law is of the Holy Spirit.

Hi Anthony,
Jesus is not the only literal son of God. So was Adam. Lk 3.39
The second Adam is not the only ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. So was Isaac.Heb 11.17
The most relevant sonship is by being given a share of the Spirit and being led by the Spirit. Rom 8.14
NickHassan replied to the topic Firstborn of/over all creation in the forum Truth or Tradition 7 years, 8 months ago
Hi Anthony,
People can be helpful when you are searching for the right path. Most leads are just dead ends.
False teachers are also ardent in their search for gullible disciples to lead astray.
And eventually you have to let go of their hands and walk in the Spirit.
Test all things and hold fast to what is good.

Hi,
Another variant of striving, powerless, human religion.
NickHassan replied to the topic Firstborn of/over all creation in the forum Truth or Tradition 7 years, 8 months ago
Hi Anthony,
The TrinityTruth site is based on the Seventh day Adventist church, though it says that the Seventh Dayers under Ellen White joined with the rest of Christendom and introduced trinity worship, to which they are opposed. They offer that we are all under the Ten Commandments, including the Sabbath day, which is delusional as they we…[Read more]

Hi Anthony,
You used to believe this way.
Which way?
NickHassan replied to the topic Firstborn of/over all creation in the forum Truth or Tradition 7 years, 8 months ago
Hi Anthony,
The PREEXISTENCE dogma denies
That Jesus was conceived-gods are not conceived of women.
That Mary was his mother-gods do not need fleshly human mothers.
That Jesus was anointed at the Jordan-gods do not need any sort of anointing.
Are you happy with all these subtractions from scripture?
NickHassan replied to the topic Firstborn of/over all creation in the forum Truth or Tradition 7 years, 8 months ago
Hi Anthony,
The PREEXISTENCE dogma is the fallback position for those who cannot hear the voice of the Spirit in the mouth of Jesus.
NickHassan replied to the topic Firstborn of/over all creation in the forum Truth or Tradition 7 years, 8 months ago
Hi Anthony,
God is Spirit.
The Spirit is like the wind.
Let God describe Himself and do not add to His words.

Hi Anthony,
’The gods have become like men and come down to us’
Acts 14.11
This is the response of unspiritual men to the Holy Spirit doing a miracle through Paul.
And the unspiritual have always been unable to understand the works of God being done through men.
Your idea that the Son of God is a man, but one who preexisted as a god, fits ver…[Read more]

Hi Anthony,
Why can you not think for yourself?
These theologians will not be with you when you meet the Lord.
Then it will be his words that matter so it would be better if you could start to hear his voice now.

Hi Anthony,
So you believe the Son of God was God.
And you can live with such confusion?
NickHassan replied to the topic Mikeboll's belief in a flat world in the forum View Points 7 years, 8 months ago
Hi Mike,
Yes unbelievers have a huge number of serious matters to worry about.
But at least you have found a platform to stand on and berate others.
NickHassan replied to the topic Firstborn of/over all creation in the forum Truth or Tradition 7 years, 8 months ago
Hi Anthony,
You just show the futility of trying to grasp spiritual things with natural logic.
The carnal mind is far too easily satisfied.
Dig deeper.

Hi Jodi,
God was in him.
He spoke the words of God.

Hi Anthony,
Phil 2.13
‘for it is God Who is at work in you, both to will and to do for His good pleasure’
If 2 Cor 5.19 means that Jesus is divine surely this must mean that the brothers are divine too?
Wander off the path of truth and nothing aligns anymore.
2 Jn 9
‘Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Chris…[Read more]
