1 | How can God (Jesus) increase in wisdom? | Luke 2:52 | nate2go | 47544 | ||
I believe Jesus is the Christ. The SON of the living God. Who will one day sit at the right hand of the Father, and will rule all the earth as it is written in the bible. I believe He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. I belive Jesus is the true vine, and His Father is the Gardener who will cut off every branch in Him that does not bear fruit. (John 15:1). I believe Christ is the way and the truth, and the life. And that no one can come through the Father except through Him. (John 14:6) I DON'T believe in the triune god theory (I once read that this theory was once a pagan belief). But most of all, I believe the words of Jesus just as they are written. I don't try to give my interpretation of what it means. If Jesus says, "the Father is greater than I", then I believe THAT's what He meant. If he's says, "Only the Father knows, not even the Son knows", then I believe THAT's what He meant. I also believe that you and I can go on, and on, and on, and on, about this subject, and what we believe will still be the same today, tomorrow, and 2 years from now. You wrote, "As far as our dicussion is concerned, I do not consider the question of the nature of God to be a foolish controversy." My answer to that is the nature of God is NOT foolish, but our trying to convince each other of what we believe, is. So let me make this very, very, clear to you so that you are not confused anymore about what I believe. Here goes, "I do NOT believe in the concept of the trinity. And unless the Holy Spirit convinces me other wise (and let me reinterate what I just said, THE HOLY SPIRIT), I will continue to believe that Jesus is just the Son of God, who is loved by the Father, since the beginning of time. Have a blessed day! |

Dear Nate, This is what you wrote: "If Christ, having returned to heaven, tells us that He does not have the authority to decide who will sit on His right or His left, then how can they be One and the same? If they were both equal in Power and Authority, then do you think Christ would know who would sit where? You questioned the diety of Christ by posing the question the way you did. So far you have been unresonsive to most of what you've been told. Instead you reply as if your irritated by any new information that does'nt jibe with your own preconcieved notions. You have not responded to: "The Father and I are one". It seems to me that you are evading the question. Friend Nate, this is a forum where christians discuss the meaning and implications of Holy Scripture. At it's best it is "iron sharpening iron". Most discussions where two believers have closely held convictions that clash against each other end in agreeing to disagree. That is all well and good. At least we have been made to search the Bible for ourselves to confirm the legitamacy of our convictions. I still don't know if you belive that Jesus is both fully God and fully Man? You continually refer to verses that show His humanity, but have not mentioned even one verse that speaks of His diety. John |
