Likewise, there are other so called “trinities” in scripture that Trinitarians ignore.

1.  Peter, James and John.

2.  Body, soul and spirit I Thessalonians 5:23

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

3.  Joseph and Mary…[Read more]

Have you stopped beating your wife?

Yes or no?

Please define “anti-Christ group”

Which group is 100% consistent in doctrine and adherence to its doctrine?

Politically, I consider myself a conservative, but do not consider abortion to be murder as “pro lifers” do.

My reason is Genesis 2:7 and other verses.

So for the person who considers conservatism to be pro life would reject me as a conservative.

Does that person believe…[Read more]

How do you define “Believer” in “believer’s place”?

Are Muslims skeptical about believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God?

Ed, you bring up a good point.

A popular example of that  type of question is, “are you still beating your wife?”

If or since, you never beat your wife, answering either yes or no indicates that either you did or continue to do so.

Either answer for you would be wrong, thus making honesty impossible.

In the manner of the Hebrew idiom of permission, What God seems to be saying he is the source of is not literally true.   He is not the doer of the action but is permitting the action to occur.

This brings in the issue of God’s gift of free will, ie, our ability to choose, into play.

Since God gave us free will, as well as to spirit beings, h…[Read more]

Video or no video.   Jesus Christ has not come back for the saints in this age of grace yet.

I thessalonians 4:13-18

No, he did not exist until Matthew 1:18.

Of course God foreknew him but foreknowledge is not someone else’s existence

Some people like to link Jesus as a man, the son of God to being a “mere man”

However, man was not designed to be mere, he was designed to have dominion over the earth.

Indeed, Adam took that and gave it away, but Jesus Christ, the man, the son of God,showed that man in his rightful place, by believing God, was well equipped to have dominion…[Read more]

Yes.

So again, you want to tell God who and what He should call sons of God.

Then everything being is God’s son because he created them ALL

Instead of telling God, my Father, what truth is, you should humble yourself before God and find out from him what truth is.

Humble yourself and you shall be exalted, exalt yourself and you shall be humbled

God knows what He is talking about.

Since God is referred to as Father in His word, He is the Father to all those who are His sons and daughters.

The OT sons and daughters were not sons by seed but by adoption.

The angels are referred to as sons of God because God created them.

We are sons of God by seed, incorruptible seed. I Peter 1:23

If…[Read more]

Yes

Anyone literally worshiping and serving the God of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob would be serving the God and Father of the lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ would be their lord.

We are saved because of the works of Jesus Christ.

We receive the gift of salvation by doing Romans 10:9-10

Jesus was made in the likeness of men.

Jesus did not make himself.

Knowing that God designed life so that all things are after its own kind, we cannot afford to miss that truth in learning who Jesus is.

God is spirit, John 4:24. Jesus is human. The two are not of the same kind.

God, choosing to have a son, should have had a son that was…[Read more]

Of course, the problem with both the benchwarmer and spectator example is that neither actually did the work.

God was neither a spectator nor a bench warmer, He did the creating, the speaking, the dividing, the making, the setting, etc.

God’s work until he formed and made and created man was good, but His “crowning” achievement was man and…[Read more]

Thanks, I have taken that advice and have not had any problems since.

Kerwin, that is another use of the figure of speech heterosis of number. Likewise a spectator rooting for their favorite team could say the same thing and people would understand what he said. Like you said, the spectator was not on the field, but felt (emotionally, but not actually) part of the team.

David,

Plurality of God? or the many magnificent facets of God?
