Quote (Is 1:18 @ June 07 2010,13:58)This is a powerful text for Yeshua's deity. I remember using it in a discussion with a unitarian who held that Christ was a the culmination of a sucession of prophets. He was the greatest of them though still merely a man. But Hebrews 3:1-6 vaporises that idea. The contrast between Moses and Yeshua could not be…[Read more]

Is 1:18, we believe that there is one God the Father and that this one God is the only true God and he sent his son Jesus whom God made Lord and Christ.You do not believe this. You are not part of “US” according to Paul.Instead you believe that there is one God the Father, Son, Spirit, and there is one Lord the Lord Jesus Christ, Lord Father, Lord…[Read more]

We are free to make choices everyday. Here are two quick examples that come to mind. It is not hard to see how many choices we have which give us the ability to choose. e.g.,1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.So if we choose to confess our sins, God will…[Read more]

Agreed JA.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ June 05 2010,10:45)Hi JA,And John 3:16 makes it pretty clear he was begotten before he was raised.  Who was Jesus before he was begotten?  And if he was God's Son, how did he begin?peace and love,mikeHi mike.I appreciate your posts and point of view and pretty much agree with most that you say, although I haven't read all y…[Read more]

I freely chose to make this post. Did you choose to post or are you posting according to a divine script that was written eons ago. If so, are you just a program?

To all who deny that there is one God the Father.Unity and unit have different meanings even though one is a derivative of the other.God is not a unity, rather a unit. God has unity with his son, and he also wants and in some cases has unity with us, but he is a unit in the sense that he is 1 (person) and he wants unity with his creation.Today's…[Read more]

Great post JA.

There is LORD, Lord, and lord.You need to know the difference instead of mashing it all together.

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ July 20 2009,05:16)Hebrews 3:1-6:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. 3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses,…[Read more]

Ask yourself this question Roo.When Jesus died to save mankind, who's will was he doing?His own, or the will of God?If it was the will of God, then is it not God who is saving us? And is it not Jesus who he sent to save us?When it says that there is no other saviour it means that there is no one else outside of the will of God that can save us.…[Read more]

Sorry Roo. That is a big blunder on your part.YHWH is the Almighty and true God. Jesus is his son and the prototype son.You can't make Jesus YHWH by cleverly using nouns that are applied to others. Saviour is also used of others. You are trying to trick people. If I was to be that deceptive, I could say that God is Spirit and we are told that…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 01 2010,14:38)T8………The term “firstborn” still references a Position even if you apply it to a literial first born son. Jesus could not have (become) the First Born Son of GOD unless He recieved it after his berth through an adoption process, because he would already have been the First Born or Begotten right? and…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ June 01 2010,15:39)God begets God!And not…God begets demigod!So the definition of the word “begotten” according to the Arian view is not a scriptural view at all is it, and isn't even consistent with the literal definition of the word?WJGod begats a son.The Divine begats a divine being.God begats a God.

OK, will start off small then.Do you believe John 3:16? For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.Do you believe that the wicked will perish?Do you believe that the wicked will be destroyed?Do you believe that the wicked will never have eternal life?Yes, no, or…[Read more]
