Hi Berean,

So whenever scripture identifies Jesus as a man, like Acts 2 and 17 etc these verses need to be scrubbed out of your Bible and replaced by “God?”

Hi Berean,

So all of scripture is wrong and you are right.

but

“ the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God”

The many sons of God do not have the same nature as God and are not God.

Jesus was made clean by perfect obedience to the Law.

He proved the Law was righteous and fulfilled it perfectly.

He was already clean in the sight of God when he reached the Jordan

He opened the door to the Kingdom for all by his death and resurrection.

He tightened the requirements of obedience to the Law

The door to salvation through…[Read more]

Jesus summarised the Law when speaking to the rich young ruler in Lk 18

” You know the commandments,

’DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY

DO NOT MURDER

DO NOT STEAL

DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.”

the proud breast beating about sabbath keeping?

Hi Berean,

You said

“I maintain that Jesus was God”

How do you align this with what you have quoted from Holy Scripture

”There is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ”?

Is Jesus not the SON OF God?

He said he was. Your deductions do not line up with the teachings of Jesus.

Hi,

It seems to be a carryover from the trinity idea that Jesus was God

to see him as big, strong and with huge advantages over us common men.

It goes against the reality that all can follow him into his relationship with his God by being reborn into his body.

Therefore, since we have a great High Priesr, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of…[Read more]

Therefore He ( Jesus of Nazareth) had to be made like his brethren in all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For since he himself was tempted in that which he has suffered, he is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

Heb 2.17

Indeed Berean,

there is one God, the Father

and one Lord Jesus Christ.

one baptism.

Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ as spoken of through Peter at Pentecost has many witnessing scriptures to prove its veracity.

Baptism in the name of. Trinity as recorded in Mt 28 has no witnessing scriptures and was never recorded as being performed…[Read more]

Thank you Jodi and Gene,

”As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made carful searches and enquiries, seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.”1 Peter1.10f

Hi Berean,

I presume you are speaking of the trinity speculation which seems to have been spawned from Catholicism. They claim to be infallible so you agree?

The Holy Spirit will guide those who have obeyed and been born of water and the Spirit.

We must be baptised into Jesus Christ, in his name.

Jesus Christ, the anointed son of God, did the works of God.

He healed the sick, walked on water, raised the dead- by the Spirit of God in him.

So did Peter – by the same Spirit.

nobody suggests that Peter was God so why are folks so blind?

Trinity was never taught by God.

Men indulged in speculation trying to satisfy logic.

They should have remained within the teaching of Christ Jesus.

2 jn9

The Son of God was anointed at the Jordan.

The Word was made flesh and dwelled among us.

In him was life and the life was the light of men.

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

John recognised the Father in the Son. “My Lord and my God”

His fellowship was with the Father and the Son in the Spirit.

” Anyone who goes too far a…[Read more]

Whew.

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of life- and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you also the eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us -what we have seen and heard we…[Read more]

So the Holy Spirit in the Son of God was speaking through him.

Good.

Now I say that as long as the heir is a child he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date is set by the father.

So also , while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth…[Read more]

Indeed.

Start with ensuring you have the helmet of Salvation.

“ And there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved”
