Yes he is the Father of spirits because he is a spirit. Spirit begats spirit and flesh begats flesh.

Finally if there was no difference between ‘created’ and ‘born’ then Jesus as the only begotten means he is the only one created. But I am pretty sure I was created and many others too.

John 1
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

T8, when the above happens, and certain ones are “born of God”, will those ones still be a CREATION of God – even though th…

And if there was no difference between create and begat/born, then we might as well throw away this scripture because it implies that Jesus was not created if he is the Word of God that was with God in the beginning:

He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come…[Read more]

There really is no difference. Anyone or anything in the history of existence that was “born”, “begotten”, or “given birth” is a CREATION. God CREATED mountains, yet it is said that mountains were “born” in a few scriptures. God CREATED the earth, yet it is said to have been “given birth”.

That is like saying that the rain makes the ground we…[Read more]

Genesis 4:1
Now the man had marital relations with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. Then she said, “I have created a man with the help of the LORD!”

To be fair, I could only see one translation with the word ‘create’ and you probably already knew that. This list was a straight copy and paste from Bible Hub…[Read more]

I will answer your questions, one per post.

Our Father in Heaven….
Yet God can dwell in creation by his Spirit.

To me that is the difference between God and his Spirit.

What is God? He is the Spirit.
Who is God? He is the Father of all.

You don’t have to do that. Yes it provides a notification, but just because there isn’t one doesn’t mean I will not participate.

Many are called by the title theos and elohim because of the varying usage of these words. But you trying to get me to believe that Jesus is the Most High God while all others who are called theos are not. This is a…[Read more]

I tend to think of God as a mind or personality and his spirit is his essence.
So while the Father may be in Heaven, by his Spirit, he can dwell in all creation including us.

So yes God is the Spirit as you say.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Colter. You can make posts like this, but not here. This is why the last platform banned Skeptics from Believers Area. There was too much changing the subject to does God exist, or peddling some other so-called holy book. If you cannot help yourself, then I will have to forcefully implement a system where Skeptics remain in the Skeptics Area so…[Read more]

Oh, my reply was just a reaction to the last few posts. We should try and keep this topic on track.

The harsh reality is that a vine needs to be pruned. It a branch is unfruitful, then it seems neglectful to allow more souls to grow on it. It may well turn out that the souls can grow in a more fruitful environment when the wicked branch is cut off.

Also, as Wakeup points out. We have the whole Nephilim to contend with too. God destroyed the…[Read more]

I see that there are some must answer questions back in the previous page. I will give them a go when I have the time. I will answer the previous post now.

Some people say that in the New Testament, Thomas called Jesus ‘God’. “My lord and my God.” However, there is a double use of the definite article if I remember rightly. You can correct me if…[Read more]

@Colter, you said:

The incarnate Son was of duel origin, at times he spoke as man subject to the will of Father during his incarnate life, at other times by divine rite. Jesus is in effect the Father of his co-creation, the existential I AM is his Father, the source of his divine being and the source of all reality. We know of the Father through…

Many times Trinitarians say that Jesus claimed to be God because he said “I am” in the Greek NT, which they say equates to the claim that he is God because God said, “I am that I am”. And “I am has sent you” in the Hebrew OT.

Unfortunately for this argument many others also said, “I am” in the Greek NT. The Greek words are ““ego eimi”.

Jesus s…[Read more]

The point is that many claim that God is a Trinity because of these similarities. So by highlighting them, it shows that it is faulty thinking to say that these similarities equal the same being especially when a third party is added to the list who is obviously not God.
