One does seem pretty foolish when they acknowledge Jesus as a theos but haven’t got a clue as to whom He is a theos to. This is elementary. All creatures bow before Him.

Your statement seems foolish to me. Satan is a god. The god of this age. Many bow to him.

It is true what Peter said. “For us there is one God the Father”. You are not ‘…[Read more]

Maybe. He came from God and he existed in the form of God.

I agree with most of what you said Nick. But want to get a better understanding of your following comment:

Of course Jesus was made one with the Spirit of Christ becoming the Word made flesh.

Are you saying here that God created a man ‘Jesus’ who never existed before and implanted or united him the Christos (anointing) meaning that he is about…[Read more]

Paul calls Jesus a man, more than once. Does that make Paul wrong?

The point is that we are not trusting in flesh. Jesus is more than flesh.

True, but the one who was manifest in the flesh was also taken up into glory and is called “he”. I can only think of one person that this can be talking about. Is there another candidate?

T8,
No, it doesn’t infer any such thing? It instead infers that
Jesus manifested God in the flesh; there is a difference.

If it actually said “God was manifest in the flesh, it could indeed mean based on that sentence that Jesus is God. Of course it directly contradicts the rest of the Bible and it actually says “He was manifest in the fle…[Read more]

Free will requires options. God put the tree of life and the tree of good and evil in the garden. It was an important part of allowing mankind to choose a path. He never forced them to eat from either and he even warned them not to eat of the tree of good and evil because he didn’t want them to.

If you cannot figure that out Gene, then most of…[Read more]

Thanks for the info Brian.

Whoever wrote that Ignatius used “God” in a quote of 1 Tim. 3:16 is, I believe, completely wrong.

I would appreciate an answer to my question.

Why is there no name or information for the person who made that comment?

Glad you researched this. And the reason that the person is not a member of the forum is because they originally mad…[Read more]

Islam just like Christianity started in the middle east so isn’t the real question: Why have Christians moved away from where they originated, were they unhappy?

Persecution and death mainly. Islam and the Vatican have murdered millions of Christians from what I have read. Wasn’t there myself so cannot confirm. But Muslims are killing Christians i…[Read more]
