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.

@Lightenup

Hi there,
Can anyone help me find where the church shares the same glory, the same honor, the same dominion for ever and ever as that which the Father and Son do? If so, we can show how the Father, the Lamb and the church all share in these things because it couldn’t be just the Father and Son share this or it would look like they a…

The Father is called theos
Jesus is arguably called theos.
Satan is called theos.
Some men are called theos.

Theos is the word that is translated God in the New Testament.

Is Peter a rock too?

The difference is this. Your mother begat you, but did not create you.
God created you, but did not begat you.
However, we are offered the new birth from above. This is what it is to be born again.
While all humans are created, not all humans accept the new birth which is to be begotten of God.

Jesus is the only begotten of the Father and then…[Read more]

Agreed. There existed one sentient being, and then God caused there to be a second sentient being. Whether you prefer the word “begot” or “created”, the meaning is the same. Anytime a new sentient person comes into being, a “creation” has occurred. For example, when I “begot” my son, a new CREATION came into existence.

As for the point people like to make about God not “diminishing” when He created His firstborn, I’ve always wondered why that point would even need to be stated.

I guess people could say that if the word was in God and then was begotten, then God divided himself up and this could open the door to many weird doctrines. It is impor…[Read more]

Men depart the truth for myths because they like the myth better. It is cooler in their view.

Nearly every person I have met that follows after myths have a problem with God.

The problem is it is not in any ancient manuscript. It was added into the Textus Receptus from a footnote to part of the text itself.

@mikeboll64

I am becoming even more confused. In my understanding, there was ONLY God in the beginning. There existed NO OTHER living, sentient entity except for God Himself. Then came the day that God created “Wisdom/The Word/Jesus” as the first of His creative works. So we went from one living, sentient entity to TWO living, sentient ent…

Can you explain to me in your view how Jesus was rich and became poor?

2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

Can you explain how he existed in the form of God, but emptied himself, taking the form…[Read more]

@mikeboll64

Please explain. Does this mean “The Word” has existed FOR ETERNITY “in God”, and is in fact a “part of God”? Because these are the things Wakeup claims.

I am not sure what Wakeup subscribes to here exactly, but the word is an attribute of God, just as wisdom is, and as light is. They are still attributes and always will be. They we…[Read more]

I am afraid you have been deceived regarding this. This verse is only found in the KJV and is about the closest verse in the Bible that hints at a Trinity, yet this verse is not actually scripture, rather a footnote that was inserted into some texts fraudulently.

Google “Comma Johanneum” or visit the Wikipedia page on…[Read more]
