I am not saying Nick believes everything that Adoptionist Gnostics believed. I am saying that what you just quoted is a main tenet of Adoptionist Gnosticism and also of what Nick believes.

I guess I better ask him directly.

@nickhassan are you an Adoptionist Gnostic? If so, what denomination do you belong to?

@nickhassan, the Word became flesh, not God and God is not a man. You seem to teach that God became flesh and a man.

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being…[Read more]

Two opposing opinions being argued here that are both wrong when scripture is used as the test.

@Dig4truth you seem to disagree with this:
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent,”

You see Dig, this truth is eternal life, so it needs to be respected. The Father is the only true…[Read more]

Antarctica exists

T8:  …the irrefutable proof of the continent of Antarctica…

Mike: What proof?

I have proof of the Antarctica living here in New Zealand. The last stop before Antarctica is Christchurch in New Zealand, a city I have lived in. There is no way you are going to get me to believe that this is all fake. We have fellow citizens, scien…[Read more]

An invition to join the conversation at the Flat Earth society might have been better.

A more appropriate venue for such an odd subject.

Not so Nick. We test all things here regarding scripture. It is good to test the theory with scripture and science or at least our own observations. If this theory is incorrect, then we have a…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

This ICE WALL that surrounds the earth must be a remarkable structure.

Just show it and you may gain more believers.

lol. Honestly, are you even capable of having a decent conversation. Are you like this with people in your life too? Or maybe you are just not up to debating because it is above your ability? We all know…[Read more]

@nickhassan

Hi Mike,

This ICE WALL surrounding the earth is unstable and come crashing down?

Curiouser and curiouser.

To be fair, ice breaks off yes, but new ice is formed. But that does beg the question as to where the new ice is coming from. Perhaps just precipitation in the same manner as believing in new ice formation from the continent…[Read more]

Hi @NickHassan

Do you believe in eternal concious torment?

@nickhassan, you know the Earth is sphere because what?

Scientific instrumentation? Photos? Space rockets?

You know the Earth is sphere because it is logical to assume it is due to the weighty amount of evidence from many different fields, the weightly evidence for the continent of Antarctica, and for other reasons right?

But here’s the thing…[Read more]

@NickHassan: 1 Cor 8.5f

For even if there are SO CALLED gods, whether in heaven or on earth,

as indeed there are many gods and many lords…

The Greek doesn’t say “so called”, Nick.  Notice the second line, “as indeed there ARE many gods AND many lords”.  This is a true statement, and is echoed all throughout the Bible.  The scriptures are lo…[Read more]

He is a man just like you-body ,soul and spirit.

Jesus of Nazareth was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power.

Do you teach he was born without a natural human spirit?

Funny you should say that. I thought that was what your teaching alluded to. A Jesus who is flesh, then getting a Spirit at Jordan and being possessed by God thus…[Read more]
