1 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65419 | ||
Hank, Clearly Jesus is discussed in John 1 however, look at [John 1:13] Which were **born**, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, **but of God**." [John 1:13] tells of the **creation** of Jesus Christ by hte will of God. "Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, or merely a prophet, or some sort of angelic being, or perhaps just a man?" I think everyone and everything is the eternal Son of God. What DO you believe? I believe in MYSELF. I believe in my versions of interpretations as hopefully you believe in yours. Hearing your version helps me form mine and for that I thank you. |

Zerotheory: Two of your statements particularly catch my eye. [1] "I think everyone and everything is the eternal Son of God." [2] "I believe in MYSELF" My comments on [1]. If you acknowledge the deity of Jesus Christ, then what you have said about Him amounts to pantheism, a non-Christian view that in one way or another fails to see God as distinct from creation. In pantheism, God is equated to all that exists and all that exists is God. Are you indeed a pantheist? Oh, I pray that you are not.... My comments on [2]. When I asked you, "What DO you believe, your answer was, "I believe in MYSELF." This leads me to infer that you are perhaps a very young and immature person. That's all I have to say about your answer, but the Bible has something to say about it. I submit for your solemn consideration two verses: The first comes from Jeremiah 17:9: "The heart is deceitful about all things, and desperately wicked." The easiest person on earth to deceive is oneself ... The second is from Proverbs 3:5,6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Whether you are young or old, these are sound words of wisdom. They are true. They are trustworthy. You are precious in God's sight. Trust in Him this very day with all your heart. Such is my prayer for you this evening. Zerotheory, I'm well past the half-century mark in my life. In fact, I've been a Christian for more than 50 years. And I have never had occasion to rue the day when I became a regenerate believer, a child of the King, a Christian. On the contrary, I view it as the turning point in my life, the most important thing that has ever happened to me, or could ever happen, in this life. One parting note: God wrote the Bible. We should be happier and wiser to read it for all it's worth, to accept it as eternal truth, to believe it, to study it, to ask God for illumination of it. But to remember always that God put it together and we should never presume to try to pick it apart. We are doomed to failure if we do. --Hank | ||||||

To all Forum members, these are words coming directly from Hank, "God wrote the Bible. We should be happier and wiser to read it for all it's worth, to accept it as eternal truth, to believe it, to study it, to ask God for illumination of it. But to remember always that God put it together and we should never presume to try to pick it apart. We are doomed to failure if we do. --Hank " Hank, this certainly does not apply to all the scripture having to do with baptism and its purpose, does it? This borders on being hypocritical, my friend. |

FTimA: Just what is your problem, not only with my post, but why do you continue to be so abrasive and caustic? I said nothing of baptism (obviously your favorite topic) in my post. And explain your statement regarding my post: "This borders on being hypocritical." For your information, FTimA, this statement of yours borders on being abusive and, in addition, it is patently false, I having said nothing in the post to which you refer that would lead anyone with common sense to see anything hypocritical about it. I was trying to minister to and assist fellow user Zerotheory with some questions he has raised. What is your motivation for butting in with a totally out-of-context remark about baptism and a snide remark to the effect that my post was borderline hypocrisy? It would behoove you to refresh your knowledge of the guidelines that the Lockman Foundation has established for forum registrants. --Hank | ||||||
