The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered.…[Read more]

The son of “man”, Jesus was not and is not, the God that was “IN” him.

Correct.

Now that this is sorted, focus on the Word.

The Word was with God, was divine, became flesh, and was beheld as the Son of God for our eyes to see and ears to hear.

He was with God in the beginning, emptied himself, came in the flesh, was obedient to God, died, r…[Read more]

“We next notice John’s use of the article in these sentences. He does not write without care in this respect, nor is he unfamiliar with the niceties of the Greek tongue. In some cases he uses the article, and in some he omits it. He adds the article to the Word, but to the name of theos he adds it sometimes only. He uses the article, when the nam…[Read more]

I would need to check this, but I think an earthquake can be yahweh too.

Once again, a difference between identity and nature.

If Jesus Christ is the Messenger of YHWH, then there is plenty.

Gene, you are unable to grasp that there are many theos, but for US, there is one theos the Father.

But I will explain it for the readers.

Theos like Adam is a person but can also be used to describe nature.

For example, Eve is adam (mankind) but she is not Adam (the person).

So the Word is theos (divine nature) but is not God the…[Read more]

The messiah according to some is a king who restores the kingdom of David.

But that is not a savior or Christ, that is a king.

Jesus is the king. But he is also the saviour and messiah.

What do you think the law was about when a lamb was sacrificed for the sins of the people.

That was only temporary. Is God going to sacrifice a lamb without…[Read more]

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” ( called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”

People had an understanding of things about the messiah.

Not all things are in the Old Testament. But let’s look at what is there. We can agree it talks about a messiah.

W…[Read more]

I should also add that many here do not disagree with Gene over his view that there is one true God including myself. Yes Trinitarians will debate that.

However, many disagree with gene over his doctrine about the origin and nature of the Son. He ignores many scriptures on this and regularly adds and takes away from the verses in question.

I really feel sympathy for brother Gene as he is fighting a lone battle to defend his unitarian doctrines but it’s quite difficult here as the NT is diversity on the Christology than unity and it supports more on preexistence of Jesus than his mere human existence.

This is the problem I visualize here.

Let’s apply some simple logic here. This i…[Read more]

Let me educate you.  Saying ‘amen’ to something that someone said is a way to support what they said. It is not an agreement of things outside of what they said in that moment.

His NAME is The Word of God. He was in the beginning WITH God. It is written down in order for us to believe.

Hi Berean, unfortunately non-trinitarians like Mike, Proclaimer and others use the same text for negating your claim of Jesus’ divinity or as God.

You lack understanding.

God is a person. An identity. God is the Father of all.

Jesus is not God. He is the son of God. He is the firstborn of God.

It’s that simple. It is what scripture t…[Read more]

Berean. Thanks for putting that succinctly. Gene has never understood that. Even after many years.

There are divisions or differences of opinion in every sector of society and the world.

Not just Christians. But Muslim, scientists, politicians, teachers, you name it.

Man is basically in darkness but light has come into the world.

Just because light is in the world doesn’t mean that all who call themselves children of God are in the light or…[Read more]

Refuting Atheism. Jordan Peterson vs Stephen Fry
Both gentlemen discus why religious stories, rituals, and ceremonies are powerful tools to unlock truth. What made their conversation fascinating is the fact that Peterson and Fry have two completely different worldviews: Peterson has opened himself up to Christianity and affirms objective morality…[Read more]
