Quote (JustAskin @ Jan. 09 2010,03:19)Or are you saying: “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God , and Jesus Christ , whom you have sent.”Yes this is the way to read it. The Father sent the son, and this verse says that the Only true God sent the son, hence the Father is the only true God.

Quote (thethinker @ Dec. 30 2009,03:24)TO ALL:Gene claims that he worships the Father only. But the whole creation worships the Father and the Son:“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:      'Blessing and honor and glory and power      Be…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Jan. 08 2010,13:30)Jesus also says that we are to believe in him to have eternal life. That is the whole point, they are one and you cannot have one without the other!WJBut in the same sense that Jesus is one with the Father, we can be one with God, Jesus, and each other.John 17:21that all of them may be one, Father, just…[Read more]

Welcome JustAskin.This verse says it all.John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Yeah, I thought that too.

Quote (t8 @ Jan. 07 2010,11:13)Israel is, and so are others referred to as the son or sons of God.That is my answer. Read my previous post.

Quote (Stu @ Jan. 07 2010,17:36)Maybe kiwis find earnest discussions about Imaginary Friends entertaining.StuartActually Stu, I think you speak for yourself only.Who else?

I have answered it before. Jesus said ye are gods, ye are sons of the Most High God. He said that to those whom God had a covenant with. Angels are even called the sons of God.Israel is, and so are others referred to as the son or sons of God.But saying that Jesus is the son of God in the same way as others is misleading. Jesus is the prototype…[Read more]

I explained this to you before.There are many firstborns, even I have one.But there is only one first born of all creation. There is only one who came from God and was not created.Jesus wasn't created like all else. A body was prepared for him and God sent him into the world after he sent his servants. Jesus existed in the form of God and emptied…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 07 2010,09:27)As far as God sending another, Don't you believe He sent Paul?As far as God sending others, he has sent many. The prophets, apostles, and servants in the form of men and angel.But God never sent another messiah and he has only one begotten who is that messiah.Jesus said “I tell you the truth, I am the gate…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 07 2010,09:27)I have to ask you have the works of Satan ceased? If it hasn't then you are asking someone to believe that 2000 years didn't make a dent on satanic activity if that was the plan of God.It is easy to understand. God sent his son into the world that we MIGHT be saved. It is up to us now. We can be saved by the…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 07 2010,09:27)1 John 2:2222 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.Muslims do not deny that Jesus is The Christ so it does not apply. But just to explain it clearly to you, look:That is true, but the one who denies that he is the…[Read more]

The main problems I see are as follows:1) You reject the truth that Jesus is the son of the living God. You must reject this as this rejection is taught in the Koran. However, this truth is the foundation of the Church. It is what Jesus built his Church on. Here is why this belief is condemned.1 John 2:2222 Who is the liar but the one who denies…[Read more]

His sacrifice allowed eternal redemption. Therefore he died once for all. When we sin, we have a covenant with God.Matthew 26:28This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.Hebrews 9:15For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal…[Read more]

It's quite simple BD, there is no need to worry.Those who are led by the Spirit are the sons of God.Not all are led by the Spirit of course. But, Jesus invites us to be. “Be baptized and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” This can be for anyone as Peter testified.Unlike prophets of old who had to make sacrifices, in order to enter the…[Read more]

Confession and repentance would not be possible if there was no redemptive plan. Jesus died for our sins so that we may confess and repent of our sins.It is written that he died so that we MIGHT be saved. and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 04 2010,09:01)Why do people keep saying that God cannot look upon sin?God can see all even what the wicked do.What is meant by this is clearly stated in Habakkuk 1:1313 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong.In other words God cannot approve of sin. He cannot let it slide. He cannot…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 04 2010,05:32)Is Jesus stronger than God?No.He is obedient to God's will and he is his servant and the one that God made both lord and Christ.Therefore how you treat him is how you treat God, because God has chosen to represent himself through him.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 04 2010,05:32)Also, if God says to Jesus sit at my right hand whille “I” place your enemies under your feet, how do you understand that to mean Jesus can take over the Kingdom , defeat Sin and then return the Kingdom to God?Is Jesus stronger than God?I explained this in an earlier post. God is the Most High. He has…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 04 2010,05:32)God is beyond christianity and those who have never even heard of Christ can still be saved by God that was the O.P.As far as God not being able to deal with sin, your not making sense and before Jesus was sent who do you think was dealing with Sin?Do you not think that God knew that he was going to send his…[Read more]
