Quote (2besee @ Dec. 20 2012,22:57)Yes — as you do when you add that 'pesky little letter' a, believing that the word was a god when the spirit reveals to us that the word was God…Not so fast.John 1:1c does not have a definite article before the word God. While all other instances in John 1:1 do and the Logos does too.Origen is often quoted by…[Read more]

LU, you need to be careful with your words for in your words are life and death.If you say that YHWH is the God of this world, then you could quite well be indirectly implying that God is evil. Look what happened to the Pharisees. They said Jesus had a demon.We should also be careful to not do the following: Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 19 2012,07:39)If your confession is that Jesus is Lord, what you mean is that He is lord because you teach that He is not Lord of lords since that would be YHWH.  Get it?Fair enough. You also say he is Lord, but only when challenged. “No one can say Jesus is Lord but by the Spirit of God”.I am still highly suspicious that…[Read more]

And the reason this was ever brought up was to prove that theos and elohim can apply to others besides YHWH. Whereas Trinitarians and Binitarians say that only the Father and Jesus, and/or the Spirit are God. If Satan is the theos of this world, then that casts doubt on Jesus being YHWH by reason of being called theos. But even then, Thomas quote…[Read more]

Mike we are told this:”Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”This is a reference to Satan, not YHWH. It is Satan who rules this wicked world. That is why he offered Jesus to be a king. He made the claim that he could give Jesus any of these worldly  kingdoms. Sure God is the ultimate authority, but God…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 13 2012,05:31)terrarricca,You will have to give account to YHWH for all you careless and foolish false judgements against the Christian, btw.For foolish false judgements yes. But not for the truth?

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 16 2012,19:08)and because Jesus, as the God/ManFunny that. In 66 books of the bible we never see the word “God/man”.

Quote (david @ Dec. 20 2012,19:03)You will find that people who have depression suffer from these thinking errors.Joy is of the Spirit and I would say that depression is an opposite of joy.So lack of God's Spirit means lack of God's help and spiritual wellbeing. From there, the lack of God so to speak filters down into the body and mind to perhaps…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Dec. 20 2012,19:01)Does everyone here believe that mental illness is actually demon possession?Jesus did in some cases at least.Was he wrong?

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 13 2012,05:54)Quote But for us sane people, it means “one in purpose”.The oneness that Jesus speaks of gets Him accused of blasphemy and eventually crucified because He is making Himself out to be God.John 10 30“I and the Father are one.” 31The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, “I showed you m…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 11 2012,19:38)Jesus said, “I and the Father are one.”Would Jesus lie? No. I agree with Jesus.And Jesus never lied when he said we can be one too.How convenient to forget that he said that too.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 14 2012,14:24)I've offered the fact that Jesus prays for the disciples also to be “one”. Surely that doesn't mean the disciples will become some “Echad Unity Disciplehead”, right? Instead, Jesus prays to his God for the disciples to become “one in purpose”, IMO.I don't know of any Binatarians, Trinitarians, and…[Read more]

This is what happens Mike when people start to babble. They create doctrines that belong to Babylon. Their fruit is confusion.

Quote (Lightenup @ Dec. 12 2012,11:15)You say He is Lord.I say He is LORD!LORD as in Jehovah, the Son.You can't say that Jesus is LORD as in Jehovah, the Son.So if that is your view, then according to you it cannot be talking about denying “Jesus is Lord” as being of the Antichrist spirit, rather it is denying that he is LORD.So whatever view is…[Read more]
