All the Law boils down to the 2 great commandments.Love God with all our heart, soul and mind.Love others as we love ourself.If we do these, we fulfill the Law in the sense that we will not steal, commit adultery and lie etc.The Law needed to be written down because even though it is written in our heart, men also have to contend with a sinful…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ July 30 2004,21:35)Afterall, we know Jesus WAS goodJesus is not good only God is. That means that Jesus is not the source of good, but the recipent of it. All that he has that is good is given to him by God his Father. He was simply acknowledging that it is God who has done all that they saw Jesus do. He also said that I only do…[Read more]

OK thx

Quote (Is 1:18 @ July 25 2004,23:35)If this is the case, then why does Paul distinguish the Father as God and the Son as Lord?  Paul could have referred to both as God, but this certainly could have been misunderstood as polytheism.  So he does the next best thing.  He calls the Father God, which He is.  He calls the Son Lord, which He also is.…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ July 26 2004,12:56)This is what the highly-respected Biblegateway.com scholars have to say about this passage:In displaying the mind of Christ, Paul begins with one of those sublime sentences whose essential intent and meaning seem clear as can be yet whose parts are full of mystery and wonder. The reason for this is simple…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ July 31 2004,22:09)the Son is God sentHi Is 1:18, I respect and use the Bible Gateway site, even in this site. But what you quoted to me is definately a personal spin on trying to take the words of Jesus and then making it fit with the predefined Trinity doctrine. This sort of activity is a sad one, yet common and is prophecied in…[Read more]

Amen Nick.

I have always thought these 2 to be real people, but I haven't studied their lives to the degree that I feel confident to teach about them. I offer my opinion though.It may be interesting to note that Elijah came again just before the coming of the Messiah in the person of John the Baptist. So perhaps Elijah will come again, just as John the…[Read more]

Yes Christ Jesus is the Messenger of Jehovah/Yahweh/YHWH. But YHWH is in identity the only God, but in nature there are many gods. Jesus has divine nature, but he is not the Divine in identity. We will also ultimately be partakers of divine nature and that is why Christ will call us brothers. But God himself will never be our brother, but our…[Read more]

I think that in order to become the elect, one must be born and then choose. The Angels were created perfect and then they got to choose God or Satan. One third chose to rebel and they were cast away from God's presence.With us, it is the other way round. We were born into sin, but are given the opportunity to choose God and we can be  given…[Read more]

I think that one can lose their salvation if they want. God never overrides our free will and some people actually choose to disown God and are ashamed of their Lord later on. We see such things in the seeds that were cast on shallow ground and they sprung up for a while, but they were not able to take root and others who are choked by the cares…[Read more]

Quote (ringo111 @ July 18 2004,22:34)*wonderz why t8 believes that The holy spirit is jesus. John 15:26-27 is so plain, also John 16:7- John 16:15 take what is Jesus' and make it known.I never said that this. I am slowly but surely researching information about the Holy Spirit. I have only offered scriptures at this point.I have also noticed that…[Read more]

I agree with you, that we need the Holy Spirit in order to be affective for God. For the power of God is the only true power and doing things in our own strength is vanity.But I take you back to my point about the salvation page. It is to get people in the game, not to get them in the game and hit a home run in 1 go.I personally believe that once…[Read more]

The point is that we have to be real and admit that there has been some tampering, but those verses are highlighted in some bibles and other options are given in the footnotes. My point is to point this fact out. I am just being real about it. I am not trying to win an argument using anything at my disposal, rather I am searching for the truth and…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ July 17 2004,18:26)Your first verse:1 John 4:12Interesting that you don't also quote John 1:18 where the same comment is made but it elaborates to say “;the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.” Jesus 'the one and only' or 'the unique and beloved one' has made him known.John 1:18No one has…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ July 17 2004,17:58)Hi T8,I can see where you are coming from, but there is a key difference between the verses you cited and Genesis 18. In Gen 18:1 it says “Now the LORD appeared…” it doesnt say the “angel of the LORD” (which I believe is an OT name for Jesus) or anything else that would indicate that it was a…[Read more]

Hi Nick, Is this person saved?1) Believes in God2) Believes that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.3) Believes that Jesus died for the sins of all humanity and was then risen from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God interceeding from us.4) Repents of their sins and asks for forgiveness for sins committed.5) Is baptized in water as a symbol…[Read more]

To Is 1:18, I found my writing based on Genesis 18.See below:=========First I would like to start with the apparent contradictions with the Old and New Testaments.New Testament1 John 4:12 (English-NIV) No one has ever seen God; ….Or 1 Timothy 1:17 (English-NIV) Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for…[Read more]
