John 10:30 I and My FATHER are one. KJV Do you really think the FATHER of everything is a person? We are to take the mind of Jesus, isn't this to read and understand in the spiritual sense? HEB 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil; 2COR5:18 And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2COR5:19 To wit that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. If all we are supposed to do is believe in Jesus then why is the Bible so thick? I believe in Jesus but there is so much more. I hope this helps Charis! |

Dear casiv, Blessings in Jesus' name! Indeed, each Person of the Godhead is fully God, and They are One. I understand and accept that fully. But now, all authority has been given to Jesus. Though the Bible is thick, the conclusion of the Bible states that the Focus of our attention, the Center of our worship, the Author and Finisher of our faith in God is Jesus! It is not that "all we are supposed to do is believe in Jesus," but that He is enough. Believing on the Lord Jesus satisfies every requirement of God, and encompasses our knowledge of the God of the Old Testament. "Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor." Galatians 3:24,25 NASB I disagree that there is 'more than Jesus' in the Bible. There is only more and more of Jesus! In Christ Jesus, charis |

Where does it say in the Bible that believing in Jesus satisfies EVERY requirement of God? What does encompasses our knowledge of the God of the old testament mean? When you say each person of the Godhead, do you think God is a person?, what is Godhead? Is Godhead in the bible? Where? |

Dear casiv, Greetings in Jesus' name! 1) In the New Testament. 2) Encompass - to form a circle about, enclose, envelope, include. 3) No, I believe that God is One in three Persons. This is a common way to refer to the Trinity, or triune nature of God. I am fully aware that God the Father is spirit. He is also God incarnate, now glorified. He is also our Helper and Comforter. 4) Godhead is an imperfect term often used to explain the fullness of our perfect God. 5) No. The term Godhead is used to describe the Trinity, the Three-in-One, the Triune God, none of which are in the Bible. I would refer you to the Nicene Creed for further understanding. 6) Nowhere. In Christ Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, charis |

Have you read the old testament? The Bible needs no man, but man needs the Bible. This sounds like Hank is your teacher.Is he? Where in the new testament? |

Dear casiv, Greetings in Jesus' name! Sir or Madam, I find your tone arrogant and offensive. For the record, yes, I have read the entire Bible in part AND parcel for 20 years. I am not sure what you mean by the phrase 'The Bible needs no man, but man needs the Bible.' It sounds nice, but has little meaning. The Bible was written for the benefit of all mankind, and for each individual reader. Without us, the written Word of God has no purpose, and without Jesus, we have no purpose, hope or salvation. Last I checked, Arkansas was several thousand miles from Yokohama. I have never had the privilege to meet Hank, but I consider it a great honor to be thought of as his student! Maybe we read the same (entire) Bible! :-) Friend, where is what in the New Testament? If you are asking about the relationship of the Old Testament with the New Testament: "Therefore the Law (a common term for the Old Testament) has become our tutor to lead us to Christ (Jesus), so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer (bound) under a (legalistic) tutor." Galatians 3:24,25 NASB (my parentheticals). "And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." Luke 4:21 NASB. 'And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."' Matthew 28:18 NASB. "For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him," Colossians 1:19 NASB. "...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 NASB. I pray that this answers your questions to me. In Christ Jesus, charis |
