Some people lay stumbling blocks. Winning souls is wise. Blocking the way is foolish.

Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

A warning for all to heed.

Yes DavidL, he is the image of the invisible God. That means he is not God, but his image.

If you say he is God, then you deny that he is the image of that God

If you say that he is God, then you have to deny that he is the son of that God.

If you say that he is God, then you have to deny that God made him Lord.

Can I state the obvious?…[Read more]

“..the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

Seriously @DavidL, read on (again). Who sits on Jesus throne? One? two? many?

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Do you continually need to be corrected? Can you not let the Spirit of truth gui…[Read more]

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.” – Proverbs 12:15

That is exactly right. That is why I believe the following words of Jesus Christ.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Ask yourself this question. Is the fool the one w…[Read more]

Nick, Jesus has his own spirit, God is Spirit, and he can dwell in us and he dwells in his son.

All spirit originates in the Father. He is the Father of spirit. He is the Father of us and the son.

For us there is one God the Father, and one Lord the Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you one with us @DavidL ?

That is right Nick. He was made Lord by God and for the glory of God.

But has he always been Lord since there was a creation?

Or was he made Lord, 2000 or so years ago?

That is right Nick. He was made Lord by God and for the glory of God.

Can we say the same about us or any man regarding the following scripture?

Philippians 2:6
NIV
who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.…

Hi t8,
So do you think Jesus was with God in the beginning
and was God?

Well I believe that he EXISTED in the FORM of God, and emptied himself and came here. He eventually became full again I suppose upon his baptism and resurrection into the glory he had with the Father before the Cosmos.

So the answer is yes or no depending on what you mean…[Read more]

DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY CARNAL ARGUMENTS THAT DENY THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST..
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made c…

Hi t8,

Yes the Word was God.

Was the Word THE God?

@DavidL

“I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.” – try confessing that one…!!!!

I confess that Jesus and the Father are one. I also confess that we can be one and one with both the Father and the Son.

Can you confess our oneness I wonder?

If the Son is not God then why does the Scriptures speak of Him as God in so many places…?

It associates ‘theos’ with Jesus as much as men and angels DavidL, perhaps a bit more.

While all other gods are either false gods like idols or the one true God, the Father.

Also, Satan is legitimately called the theos of this age.

Try to be fair in d…[Read more]
