	Greetings Rextar, I know what Jesus said. I am fully away of the Scriptures, but I don't think that you understand what He is saying or else you would not have used this Scripture. The first rule in interpreting any Scripture is that you cannot take one Scripture and make a doctrine out of it. Secondly, no Scripture contradicts itself. The author of this book, St. John(John the Beloved), stated previously that God's plan(Word[logos]) was with Him during Creation and then later it was made into flesh which took on the name of Jesus. This was God's initial plan since Creation. Therefore, the plan for God manifesting Himself in the flesh to die for the sins of the world came before God had a plan for Abraham. Abraham was a vital part of the initial plan but did not come util the initial plan was at play. Hence, Jesus said before Abraham was I am!

	I'm not sure why I said Hebrew cause I got the word from the Greek New Testament. I meant to say Greek but I guess I accidently said Hebrew. Now, I'm not sure what you were trying to get at with your post, Kalos, but I ask you ... how do you explain that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were present before the New Testament times rolled around? And I want to see Scripture not no mumbo jumbo from Strong or any other different references. I want Scripture. You can include the references later.

	Ok, I have talked to some peeps and I have done some studying so here we go! The word "Word" in the Hebrew language is "logos" which means plan. In the begining God had a plan. This plan was to create someone with whom to give the ability of choice. Adam and Eve took this freedom for granted when they sinned meaning they did not chose God. God decides to give this plan a second try, but this time instead of creating this being of choice out of the ground He used a virgin woman to bare a son of which He dwelt. So therefore we see how that this plan has become flesh. There was no Father, Son, and Holy Spirit back in Creation. It was just God. For God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and Jesus Christ, the Son, is the expressed image of God (Hebrews 1:3). How then can this Son be if He were not born yet for He wasnt born until the New Testament?

	Now the reason why I used that deffinition was because that was the Greek/Hebrew meaning of the word "Word". But we can use your deffinition and get the same meaning. Though our conversations I have come to realize that the main difference between Trinitarianism and Oneness is that Trinitarian believes that there were three way back when whereas Oneness believes there was only one then when the New Testament came along that one was manifested three ways. Now if we were to take your deffinition of the Word and say that the Word is Jesus then tell me how can Jesus exist if He were the only BEGOTTEN son of God meaning that He was BORN of God? Jesus could not have possibly existed until the New Testament when He was born. Allow me to explain this belief. I am going to pose this as a question because I myself have not done personal study on this like I should have and because of this conversation it has earged me to do so. Could it be that the Word that John was talking about be the name Jesus? Cause think about it if it were Jesus that is the name of God. In the begining it was God. Then later in the chapter we see where this Name was given flesh werein it could reveal the true image of God. Now like I said it is just a question. My grandfather was Trinitarian until he studied this chapter and now he believes in the Oneness of God. I will have a talk with him and others as well as doing my own personal research on this then I will come back to you with a deffinite answer but right now I am just posing a question.

	Yes I did say that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not God, but I was not saying that to prove that they do not exist or whatever might have been taken out of that by anyone. But I said that to try to explain numbers 5 and 6 in your post. What I was trying to say is that God is omnipresent. He can be anywhere at anytime in fact He is everywhere all the time. In saying that God can be the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit all at the same time and God can correspond with Himself so to speak at the same time as well. Why would God want to correspond with Hiself you might ask. God was setting up a system that one day we would be part of it. Let me clarify. The system is where the Father-God is the head and the only way to Him is through the Son, but later in Scripture we find that we are the sons-children of God. Jesus even showed us how to pray and He did not say ok pray dear Jesus please tell the Father ... blah blah blah, but instead Jesus said start by saying Heavenly Father. Then the Holy Spirits role is the Comforter. He is supposed to dwell inside of us, to instill in us the gifs of the Spirit, and then we fine out that He is supposed to pray to God for us. Now wait a minute, Jesus already showed us how to pray why does the Holy Spirit have to pray for us. The Holy Spirit does not pray for us but is rather our interpreter. He not only interprets what we say to God but also what God says to us-Matt 13:11. Now we are flesh, and when we believe in God and are saved and receive His Spirit then we also become spirit. Jesus Christ-The Son-was half flesh and half Spirit so to speak that is to say that His mother was flesh and His Father was spirit. The Son came in the name of God-Jesus-to show us how to live and to be with God and all that other stuff that we need to know and that we can learn from His life here on earth especially the part about how to overcome the flesh which is so hard for most if not all of us at one point in time. But through His example we now know what to do. Now this being so God is all three all at the same time, but the Father is God in Heaven, the Son is our example in whos steps we follow, and the Holy Spirit being God within us as our interpreter and our comforter. And they all share the same name and that is the name of God ... Jesus. As for John 1:1-2. What is the Word? The Word is just as it is said ... The Word. It is the Bible, prophecy, God's will, God's perfect plan. Lets look at this in Scripture ... In the begining was God's plan, and God's plan was with God and God's plan was God-to say that God included Himself in His plan to be our Father-The same-God's plan-was in the begining with God. If you look down in verse 14 is says, "And the Word-God's plan-was made flesh-as to say that God's plan is now coming into effect and it is coming to pass-and dwelt among us-as to say now is where we come into the plan and take part in the Kingdom of Heaven by taking the possition of the children of God-(and we beheld his glory the glory AS OF the only beggotten of the Father)-which is to say that now we realize the glory and magnificence of God's perfect will or plan just like we realized the glory of God which was manifested through His only beggotten Son-full of grace and truth-God's plan is full of grace and truth just like the Son of God was full of grace and truth.

	Oh, about those points ... 1,5, and 6 are correct, but 2-4 are not. The Father is not God, the Son is not God, and the Holy Spirit is not God. God is the Father, God is the Son, and God is the Holy Spirit. There is a difference. This is not heresy nor is it false teaching. I am not a false prophet I just have a different understanding of the Word than you, but I do not call you a false prophet just because of your different beliefs so I expect the same from you all. There is a different way of showing that someone is wrong other than calling them a false prophet and their teachings to be heresy. And who knows, if I am wright then that would put you in the position of blasheming the Holy Spirit which is the only unforgiveable sin. For your sake of just being safe I ask that you not call me or other people false prophets nor their teachings heresy. But like I was saying about the Godhead ... if the Father was God and the Son was God then the Son would have to be concidered the Father as well as of course the Holy Spirit, but that is not so. For how can the Father be the Son and the Holy Spirit when at His baptism we see all three at work. What I'm saying is that God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and because He is omnipresent He can be all three roles at the same time. It's like a business, you may be one person with three job descriptions. You still have to perform each individual job as though it was your only one but in reality you have three and because you do those three positions the business runs smoothly. In the begining there was no Father, Son, or Holy Spirit it was just God. In the New Testament God decided to change things and I clarify so no one gets the wrong impression. It's not that things that God created were not perfect cause they were, but we through our sin made it bad we made it not so perfect anymore. So God sought that it was time to change. So there we see that God took on the roles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God established this system so that He was the employer and He too was His employee so to speak. Therefore the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not God, but rather God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

	You know, I am very sorry that you feel this way. I really do. But you know what ... whether I'm right or you're right, in the end we will all find out. And every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord. Now, because I can sence that alot of you really don't like me here I'm just not going to put my input anymore. You all have just twisted my words around and made me look like the bad guy with or without trying too. I'm not blaming anyone and I'm not holding anything against anyone. You can call me a false prophet all you want too but I will not render evil for evil. At first I thought that you all were good people and I wanted to know you and what you believe so that my mind will be broadened to the way that I think but all you have done is cut me down and tear me into shreds so to speak. And it's not just you Joe its also Hank and EdB, and if I havent mentioned your names and you would like to be on that list feel free to add yourself. I leave in the name of Jesus Christ. May God bless you all. HamsteRulz

	There is more than just one requirement for salvation. If you just believe in Jesus and you are saved then what are you being saved from ... you still have sin in your life, you still live a terrible life, and you put no more interest in God than just, "Oh, yea i believe He is up there." Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Luke 13:3,5 say something like if you have sin in your heart you are going to perish? Now, the Bible does say that when you believe you are saved as we see in John 3:16 and Acts 16:31 but it doesn't stop there. Jesus said the same thing in John 3:3, but Jesus went a little further and said that in order to be born again you must be born of the water and of the Spirit(John 3:5). Peter did all of us a favor and sumed up Salvation in Acts 2:38 when he said Repent and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That is Salvation. I didnt make it up. It's in the Bible.

	Allow me to clarify for all of us Oneness believers. God is a Spirit. He has been that way for infinite time. God then decides that He wants to commune with people. He is now sick and tired of the same old same old with the angels. He wants people who He has given a free chiose to love and obey Him so He created this earth and everything in it. Now when Adam and Eve sinned they chose to cut off that relationship with God. God of course wants to restore that relationship because that was His original intention for creating us. God also wanted to dwell among us because He wanted to be with us so when the Exodus came along God had Moses create a temple wherein He could dwell. For God this eventually got old because He just wasnt quite close enough to us as He would like. And being that that which is spirit is spirit and that which is flech is flesh God just couldnt come down with all His glory and be like, "Here I am!" So God came up with a plan to take on human flesh. He chose a girl, a virgin girl, a girl who knew no man just to show us that He is the Almighty God, and He married her so to speak and she had a child. This child was no ordinary child it was God in the flesh, but because of the natural processes that God created Himself, He chose to be this child, to grow, and to then reveal Himself and regain the relationship that was lost years and years ago. So throughout His 33 years of living, God taught His wisdom that only the omniscience God would know. Then upon His death, He shed his blood for the sins of the world as a sacrifice because that was the only way that He set up for sins to be forgiven at that time. That was also as to say He overcame the flesh. That is something that no normal man has ever been able to overcome on his own, but God because He was a Spirit robed in flesh He was able to overcome the flesh obtaining the keys to death, hell, and the grave. After His death, God made His Spirit available as a gift so that us humans can oversome this flesh as well. That is when we here about the Holy Ghost(Spirit). The Holy Spirit is a small portion of God Himself that dwells in those that ask of Him. The reason why Jesus refered to God(Himself) as the Father was because that is who He was physically. Physically God was Jesus' father even though Jesus was God. Now I personally believe that God does not have three personalities. That is like saying God is crazy and deserves to be in a mental institution. No, God is God and He takes on different forms as well as positions. God is a God of unity as we see throughout the whole Bible. Why then would God DIVIDE Himself. There is ONE God, not three, not three in one, and not two, or two in one, but He is ONE God.

	For EdB and Hank and anyone else that it may concern. I took your advice, Hank, and I flipped through the archives about the "Trinity" and all that jazz. I found something that may intrest you both and many others. It is a series of questions that I would like to echo concerning the Trinity. This was orringinally given by RevC and I hope he does not mind my repeating it. I thought it was very descriptive and a good way to demonstrate the oneness of God. 1. Is the word trinity in the Bible? No. 2. Does the Bible say that there are three persons in the Godhead? No. 3. Does the Bible speak of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Yes. 4. Do these titles as used in Matthew 28:19 mean that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead? No, they refer to three offices, roles, or relationship to humanity. 5. Does the Bible use the word three in reference to God? Only one verse in the entire Bible does so-I John 5:7. It speaks of the Father, the Word (instead of Son), and the Holy Ghost, and it concludes by saying, "These three are one." 6. Does the Bible use the word one in reference to God? Yes, many times. For example, see Zechariah 14:9; Malachi 2:10; Matthew 23:9; Mark 12:29, 32; John 8:41; 10:30; Romans 3:30; I Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; I Timothy 2:5; James 2:19. 7. Can the mystery of the Godhead be understood? Yes. Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16. 8. Has the Christian only one Heavenly Father? Yes. Matthew 23:9. 9. Then why did Jesus say to Philip, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9)? Because Jesus is the express image of God's person. Hebrews 1:3. The Greek word for personin this verse literally means "substance." 10. Does the Bible say that there are two persons in the Godhead? No. 11. Does the Bible say that all the Godhead is revealed in one person? Yes, in Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:19; 2:9; Hebrews 1:3. 12. Is the mystery of the Deity hidden from some people? Yes. Luke 10:21-22. 13. Who is the Father? The Father is the one God, particularly as revealed in parental relationship to humanity. Deuteronomy 32:6; Malachi 2:10. 14. Where was God the Father while Jesus was on earth? The Father was in Christ. John 14:10; II Corinthians 5:19. He was also in heaven, for God is omnipresent. 15. Did the prophet Isaiah say that Jesus would be the Father? Yes. Isaiah 9:6; 63:16. 16. When God said, "Let us make man in our image" (Genesis 1:26), was He speaking to another person in the Godhead? No. Isaiah 44:24; Malachi 2:10. 17. How many of God's qualities were in Christ? All. Colossians 2:9. 18. How may we see the God who sent Jesus into the world? By seeing Jesus. John 12:44-45; 14:9. 19. Does the Bible say that Jesus is the Almighty? Yes. Revelation 1:8 20. Whom do some designate as the first person in the trinity? God the Father. 21. Whom do some designate as the last person in the trinity? The Holy Ghost. But Jesus said that He was the first and last. Revelation 1:17-18 22. How many persons did John see sitting on the throne in heaven? One. Revelation 4:2. 23. If Jesus is the first and the last, why did God say in Isaiah 44:6 that He was the first and the last? Because Jesus is the God of the Old Testament incarnate. 24. Did Jesus tell Satan that God alone should be worshipped? Yes. Matthew 4:10 25. Does the devil believe in more than one God? No. James 2:19. 26. Does the Bible say that God, who is the Word, was made flesh? Yes John 1:1, 14. 27. For what purpose was God manifested in the flesh? To save sinners. Hebrews 2:9, 14. 28. Was Jesus God manifested in the flesh? Yes. I Timothy 3:16. 29. Could Jesus have been on earth and in heaven at the same time? Yes. John 3:13. 30. Does the Bible say that there is but one Lord? Yes. Isaiah 45:18; Ephesians 4:5. 31. Does the Bible say that Christ is the Lord? Yes. Luke 2:11. 32. Does the Bible say that the Lord is God? Yes. I kings 18:39; Zechariah 14:5; Acts 2:39; Revelation 19:1.
15	Is Heaven and Hell like we think?	Not Specified	HamsteRulz	54915
	Now I'm not sure if there can be a proven fact for this question, but it would be cool to see some of the answers to it. Is there really a Heaven or Hell like most people think that there is? The only thing that we know about Heaven that I am aware of is that it is a big city, but how could that be if the Bible calls it the New Jerusalem. But then you have the new world but that isnt even given the name or implication of Heaven. Also the Bible never says that we will live in Heaven but rather the new world. Now as for Hell. If the wages of sin is death and in Rev. we find that the lake of fire(Hell) is the second death then why do some people say that if you go to Hell you will be in torment for eternity? Some say that your body consists of an immortal soul but why then would Paul say in Thessalonians that when Jesus returns that this mortal shall put on immortality. Therefore stating that if we go to Hell we do not have an immortal soul to suffer toment for eternity but rather do we just become annihalated from existence? Now I'm not saying that there is no Heaven or Hell dont get me wrong, but what I am saying is could the Heaven and Hell that we thought about for so long actually different in reality? Could it be that maybe Heaven is a demention and Hell is complete annihilation?

	EdB, First, Please forgive me for refering to the Holy Spirit as It. I did not realize what I had typed, but I do not believe there is a "Trinity" as I have stated before. Second, In all respects, you cannot avoid the Scriptures of Acts 8:17 or Acts 10:47 were people actually received the Holy Ghost(Spirit). Baptized in the Greek/Hebrew language means to submerge or to completely consume. Therefore, what the Bible is stating is that you are consumed by the Holy Spirit and we like the apostles refer to it as receiving the Holy Ghost. Third, I ask you who is the Comforter? The Comforter is the Holy Ghost as we read in John 14:16,26. Yes, belief in Jesus is the basis of Salvation but it goes deeper then just belief. It goes into baptism in Jesus name, receiving the Holy Ghost by evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance, and then not conforming back to the world but living a righteous and holy life or should I say a continuing walk with God.
19	Jesus and God the Father not the same?	Col 3:17	HamsteRulz	54743
	In the Old Testament God made his habitation the temple. That is where you could find God, but only the priests could commune with him. God decided to change things so He created Himself flesh or a body for Him to dwell in. That body was called Jesus. The reason why God needed to create His own flesh and not use someone else was because He wanted to rule us human-beings. Being God was a Spirit that gave Him the ability to control the Spiritual Realm just like in order to be President of the U.S.A you have to first be a citizen. Back when Adam and Eve sinned God's direct control over humanty was lost and in order to regain that possition He must first overcome the flesh. He lived, resisted temptation, did miracles, died, and resurected and in doing all of that He regained His control over us. Now the Holy Ghost(Spirit) is a piece of God that He gives as a gift to dwell in us so that we can be part of the Spirit realm. "That which is spirit is spirit and that which is flesh is flesh." When we partake of His Spirit we become part of Him forming the body of Christ. And through His Spirit we are given the power over the angels and demons, over principalities and powers and rulers of wickedness in high places.
20	Must a woman have long hair	1 Corinthians	HamsteRulz	54742
	The Bible does not say it is an abomination but rather it is shameful for women to cut their hair.
