Tim, Your line of reasoning is illogical and certainly non Biblical. Example: John 8:12 Jesus is the Light of the world. Matthew 5:14 Disciples are the light of the world. So, the disciples must be Jesus. If I reasoned like your reasonings then that satement would be true! The Bible tells us that there's only One True Almighty God whose name alone is Jehovah. (He causes to become) Jesus is Not that one. He is Almighty God's only- begotten god. Read what the Bible tells us. It says at John 1:18 that that is the case! The Bible tells us there are indeed lesser mighty ones, men, angels, and it does call them god(s)(elohim). Ps. 82:1-7 and Ps 8:5. Yet, Jehovah is called Elohim and Jesus is called elohim. Well, do I then reason that angels are Jehovah? No. Jesus is Jehovah? No. Why Tim, do the scriptures again and again have verses such as Revelation 1:1, A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him." ?? Are we logical or not? Also, Jude 1:1, "Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, but a brother of James, to the called ones who are loved in relationship with God [the] Father and preserved for Jesus Christ." Clearnly we have here shown to us that there's Jesus and his Father who's THE God. 1 John 4:9, "God sent forth his only-begotten Son". It doesn't say the Father but THE God sent Jesus. So Jesus can't be THE God! Tim, what do we do with all the verses that use the phrase where Jesus is speaking, "my God". Yes who ever heard of Jehovah saying "my God". Never, but Jesus does many times. Romans 1:7,8 Paul says, "May YOU have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. 8 First of all, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of YOU, because YOUR faith is talked about throughout the whole world". Yes, the Bible teaches that there is only one true Almighty God, (as Jehovah himself says when he says besides me there is no God) and it says there's God's Son. John 17:3 says, "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." Here we have made clear for us that there's Almighty God Jehovah and there's the one he sent to the earth, his Son Jesus Christ. These few verses speak for themselves, they are not twisted, in any way, and I believe the Bible for what it says, and not "men". Believe the Bible when it says there is no God apart from me (Jehovah). There is no Almighty God but the Father. If you declare that his Son is Almighty God too, then what do we do with Is 45:21?

Hi, Tara! I see that you have clear understanding of terminologies... could you please apply them to yourself! You fail to listen to the Holy Spirit, the third Person of God, who instructs us with Scripture: John 1:1-14 The Word Became Flesh In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. THE WORD IS GOD THE WORD BECAME FLESH THE WORD IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD THE LIGHT CREATED EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS (both visible and invisible) JOHN THE BAPTIST--a mere human--IS NOT THE LIGHT THE WORD IS THE LIGHT CHIRST IS THE LIGHT! Revelation 21:22-24 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. What part of Scripture do you not understand? Is it: "THE LORD GOD ALMIGHT AND THE LAMB ARE ITS TEMPLE?" ...or is it: "THE GLORY OF GOD GIVES IT LIGHT, AND THE LAMB IS ITS LAMP?" I pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten your mind and spirit so that you may truly become Jesus' obedient servant! If does not suffice to call yourself Christian while professing antiChristian doctrines--Jesus, the only name given by which all will be saved, will have nothing to do with you (Revelation 3:16)... after all, it is He that will grant or deny your entrance into the New Jerusalem! (Revelation 21:27) God Bless! Angel |

Pushing ones own personal and denominational views Please limit, to the best of your ability, the known denominational biases that produce potential strife and undue conflict. Please avoid interjecting obvious denominational biases, especially when urged by peers to cease. Otherwise, it becomes a battle of wills, and only tears down morale and causes division. If we are notified that this situation is occurring we will review it and act as necessary. |

Hi, Darcan! Could you explain where I have pushed denominational biases? You are stating that I am claiming that the Word, Jesus Christ, is God and that the Holy Spirit is God due to my denominational bais, who is this so? Is this a Christian site? If it is how can accepting Jesus as God prove to be a denominational bais? How can accepting the Holy Spirit as God prove to be a denominational bais? If you are asking me to entertain a man's interpretation of Scripture that claims that Jesus is not God--you will not see that happen! If you are an agent of Lockman and your duties require that you monitor my posts do so! If your duties require you to demand that I reject Jesus as God, say so and I will happy leave this forum! I do not come here to engage people for the purpose of teaching denominational creed--but if you are a representative of the forum and you feel that I have been doing so, please reissue your accusation with direct quotes from my posts that demonstrates that I am advocating my Church's views in rejection of Scripture! May the Lord, the God of the Amen, shine on you and may His Holy Spirit enlighten you! God Bless! Angel |
