1 | Horses eating horses? | Bible general | sonofmom | 240060 | ||
Thank you J I was really hoping someone could point out a passage where horses were doing what he suggested. Through that we could find some truth. If it is not in the entire Bible, then we will not be able to discuss it. |

4 | Is Jesus and God the same? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221892 | ||
Yes, Ps 83, I understand about what JW's teach, That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth. In response to your question of, 'how is it possible for Jesus to pray to himself' Have you ever heard of the hypostatic union? What this means, is: Jesus is God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. That is, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1,14). This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature. The divine nature was not changed. It was not altered. He is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3, NIV). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," nor are they combined into a new God-man nature. They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called the Hypostatic Union. Jesus prayed to the Father because as a man, under the Law (Gal. 4:4), he needed to pray to the Father. The Bible teaches that he was both God and man (Col. 2:9; John 8:58 with Ex. 3:14). Also, Jesus has two natures. Therefore, we will see two types of scripture concerning Jesus: those that seem to focus on His divine-side, and those that seem to focus on His human-side. The Jehovah's Witnesses are simply ignoring, or changing, the divine-side scriptures and concentrating on those that describe His human-side. But that does not make those verses any less valid. See Hypostatic Union (at carm.org) for information on the two natures of Jesus. If you go there, you are also able to find why JW teachings are in error, by simply typing in 'cults' on the home page. Then click the link to Jehova Witnesses. I could go on, about many of your comments, such as: 'firstborn over all creation' The mistranslation of the word, 'firstborn' is the problem, and proves the doctrine to be false.. But I won't continue with that here... May our Lord bless you as you seek His truth |

5 | Is Jesus and God the same? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221894 | ||
Psa 83, for your benefit, and the benefit of readers on this forum, I have listed here several verses where Jesus is said to be God: "But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom." Heb 1:8 "Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" John 20:28 "I and the Father are one." The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." John 10:30-33 "I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins." Note: In the Greek, "He" is not there. John 8:24 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1, 1:14 Now, I have had JW's say to me that, yes, Jesus is called God, but he is not called 'Almighty God' However, the Bible proves that theory to be foundless as well. son |

6 | Lucifer's fall from grace | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 221902 | ||
doc, please forgive me for answering this question, but truthfully, I never had much luck finding an answer in the search box. I am willing to bet that the questions will keep getting asked, and repeatedly also. Just like my face keeps having to get whiskers shaved off, no matter how many times I do it, and no matter how thoroughly I do it. ((o: We are here in service to the Lord, and there is no redundancy in that. |

9 | Bible reference to infant baptism | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 224277 | ||
The baptism of an infant is basically useless because an infant cannot place its faith into anything, and cannot join in the act. It basically lays there and has someone else's will exercised over it. The reason for the addition of infants into the sacrament of Baptism that I was given by a RCC scholar was this: They simply ran out of adults to baptize and started baptising the babies. The word comes from the Greek 'baptismo' which means to immerse. |

10 | Does God Need us like we need Him? | Bible general Archive 4 | sonofmom | 235515 | ||
Without an object to love, then love itself can not be fulfilled. God is Love. 1John 4:16 God also has angels to worship Him, but the epitome of God's creation is man. Man is therefore the only creature who can allow for the highest expression of God's love, and as we reciprocate, love becomes perfected. |

11 | Difference between Sabbath and Sunday? | Genesis | sonofmom | 242081 | ||
One other interpretation is that when King Constantine legalized Christianity he blended it with all the pagan religions of the day for a wider acceptance. Actually, Sunday was in place as the worship day because of Zeus, the sun god, for which the day derives its name. I am in agreement with Ed, as to the Lord's day also. But I recently learned this is why the Roman Catholic Church put halos behind the head of Jesus and heads of saints. This was done in honor of the sun god. |

12 | Is God capable of sarcasm, are people 1? | Gen 3:22 | sonofmom | 223966 | ||
Thank you lionheart. You say there is nothing sarcastic here, in Gen 11:6, that is, OK I can see the LORD saying, Behold, the people are one, well, maybe superficially. and they have all one language, which was true, for a time. The Lord continues, "and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Maybe sarcasm was a bad choice of words, Ridicule seems to be more fitting. This is the part that I am trying to understand, without going down too many rabbit trails in other Books, do you think that these words can be applied to the church today, as God's people being one? And do you think that God was serious about calling these people as being one in that cultural-historical context? Thank you, son |

Thank You, Beja. I agree with you and I will search further in the link you sent me. I brought up the link and so far it looks quite good. This is a coincidence, you say? I prefer to think of it as a God-incidence ((((o: Lord bless, son |

15 | Why is bigamy ok but adultry isn't? | Ex 21:10 | sonofmom | 221916 | ||
Hi Rolff, I saw your post and it caused me to wonder, 'where does anyone say that bigamy is ok?' Actually, the Bible is written about history, and bigamy is reported, nowhere does the Bible condone the practice. I think it is there to show us our fallen nature, as it is a detestable prctice in my view. To take the practice to an extreme, Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. That may look desirable to a man's flesh, but can anyone even imagine what it would be like to have 700 mothers-in-law? ((o:] (just kidding, honey) |

16 | Is The Quote In The Bible? Where? | Deut 23:18 | sonofmom | 232019 | ||
Gill, just because someone says that its in the Bible does not mean anything at all. This includes pastors as well as authors of magazine articles. That is how cliches get started. Many people think that the phrase, "God helps those who help themselves" is from the Bible. But that statement doesn't even make sense. Wouldn't you think that God would help those who are unable to help themselves first? Son |

18 | Was there a reward! | 1 Chr 23:13 | sonofmom | 235550 | ||
Doc, thanks for clearing that up. Also, I need to apologize for the typo, -After the word, 'reward' it was meant to be a question mark, and not an exclamation point. Nevertheless, I now feel enriched that I may go back to my new friend and discuss the matter once more. No, it was not from a pulpit, thankfully. |

19 | Questions to ask while Reading the Word | Neh 8:18 | sonofmom | 243215 | ||
Quite interesting concept. I believe different people may say to a pastor that the verse in the sermon touched them that day, and in unconnected scenarios. One may be touched by the Spirit in thoughts on a particular verb and another on a certain noun. But there is something called parabolic constancy that we should all be concerned with. I heard a preacher once who thought he was teaching on the parable where a man found a great treasure in a field and he gave everything to be able to go and buy the field. This pastor was telling us that he himself did the same and had also bought the field. That is when I knew I was listening to a false teacher. This was many years ago so please forgive my foggy recollection but following the parable is Jesus' explanation as to its meaning. The field, is said to be the world. Taking the law of constancy into consideration, everytime the field is spoken of, it will refer to the world. Does this sound right? |
