The idea that God created all things through Christ meaning that God had him in mind, is reading too much into what the text is saying. If we allow such rules, then we can add in any context that itching ears desire to hear.Also:“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,that though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that you t…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 25 2010,01:34)Adam………..Good post brother and accurate also. People do not realize how our text have be alter over time and influenced by Trinitarian and Preexistence translators over time. Their overall work is a Work of SEPARATION of JESUS from our EXACT identity. This is the work of Antichrist and they do not…[Read more]

Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?   Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son?   Surely you know!(Thanks for that on…[Read more]

Nice scriptures.It is amazing how many there are and even more amazing to think that anyone could change them all and for what?

“Irenaeus could still interpret MK. Xiii, 32 in the following manner: the Son confessed not to know that which only the Father knew; hence ' we learn from himself that the Father is over all', as he who is greater also than the Son. But the Nicene theologians had now suddenly to deny that Jesus could have said such a thing about the Son. In the…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 21 2010,10:04)And Jesus was called THE begotten god in John 1:18.  That doesn't imply “nature” or “qualifyer” to me, but an “identity”.Mike look at the Greek.18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him .the only begotten Son part is the…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 21 2010,10:04)God simply implies “a mighty one”.  And many can and have been INDENTIFIED as “mighty ones”.  And not all of them have a “divine nature”.Did you know that there is no indefinite article 'a' in Greek. It is added in by translators to make the sentence legible in English. So when Jesus said “one of you is a d…[Read more]

Mike.There are many identified as theos that is not in a nature or qualitative sense, that is true. e.g., idols are in identity false gods. Satan is in identity the God of this age.So yes all gods being identified are false with the exception of the one true God.So yes there are many gods, but there is only one true God.Other mentions of theos…[Read more]

There are 2 ways in which you can use the word God (theos).Qualitatively and as an identifier.If you say theos from theos in quality or nature then that would not be the same as THEOS from THEOS which would mean GOD from GOD which means we now have 2 Gods.Theos as in THE THEOS or Theos is God unless it talks about another God such as God of this…[Read more]

John 6:38-40 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life;…[Read more]

Hi JA. There is always reward for works.We have salvation and we can have reward on top of that.I suspect that as it is written that we go from glory to glory, so it is with Christ.This fits with God the Father being the only one that knows all things.

If you think that Christ should not be a mystery to the Jews and all others then think again.Ephesians 3:4In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,Romans 16:25Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the…[Read more]

Read this text carefully.John 8:56-5856 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” 57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”   58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”Clearly the pretext is talking about Jesus only being 5…[Read more]
