You will never be able to deny that theos is also used for some men, angels, idols, Satan, etc.It is nothing more than an observable…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ May 17 2008,16:27)There is no example in the NT scriptures where any of the Apostles or followers of Christ used the term theos in a divine way for any other being other than Jesus.The claim that “Theos” is used for angels and men in a divine sense is not supported by NT scriptures.I never said that all theos/gods is a…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ May 17 2008,11:13)This argument is common argument used by henotheists…This is simply observation from reading scripture.It is there for everyone to see.2 Peter 1:4 is in scripture and theos and elohim usage in the bible is not exclusive to YHWH.That is the plain facts. No need for a predefined doctrine here, it speaks for…[Read more]

2 Peter 1:4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.So God shares his nature, yet not all who partake will be known as YHWH, correct?There is one most high God/Theos/Elohim.Scripture calls some…[Read more]

How many people start with a doctrine and then see if it fits with the bible?How many are taught a doctrine before reading the bible?How many read the bible before being indoctrinated and then come up with the Trinity or Oneness doctrines?If you found Christ while in solitary confinement for 5 years and you had never read the bible and the only…[Read more]

Quote (Tonycb @ May 12 2008,02:11)God was manifested in flesh. One God, not three or three person in the Godhead.Does not God manifest himself in his people. Is not his creation a manifestation and glory of him?We can see him through the things that have been made.We can see him in his son, who is the greatest revelation and glory of God. He is…[Read more]

Isn't just a bit strange that the same Trinity gospel that is preached today is alien to the first century gospel?If you took that doctrine back to the first century, they wouldn't know what you were talking about, if you came preaching the Trinity.

Paradise

Oh, it is already near the top of the list in this (Truth and Tradition) forum.

Oneness doctrine is the wrong response to the Trinity doctrine.Scripture should be the response.How does Oneness doctrine compare to 1 John 4:2 for example?This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,By saying that the Father came in the flesh could only lead…[Read more]

Jesus is not God because he is the son of God.Likewise I am not my father, but the son of my father.Jesus being the son of God seems to be truth that suffers the most opposition.Trinitarians deny it in principle and Moslems deny it in both word and principle.Atheists deny God and therefore by reason of that deny the son.But to deny the son is to…[Read more]

Quote (gsilva72 @ May 09 2008,13:42)If you were talking to me, ok, your right. 2 Peter 1:20 says, ” Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,…[Read more]

gsilva72.God is invisible and Jesus is the image of that invisible God.Likewise Adam is/was a person and Eve was his image and is/was a person. But they are 2 different beings. They are 2 different identities.God can only be seen by representations or images of him. Even the universe declares his glory and the greatest glory of God is his son.…[Read more]

Ha ha. The origin of species, written by a super evolved daffodil. And you talk about blinkers?It actually isn't hard to see that there is a gene pool (code) and it is compiled in different combinations. That we can see.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ May 08 2008,17:04)T8…… Don't you think God know all along man was going to do what He did, why does it say Jesus was crucified from the foundations of the earth, wasn't it because God already know what was going to happen, why did He even gives Us weakened condition in the first place if it wasn't His will we fall.
