241 | Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. | Rev 3:14 | Pastor Glenn | 96882 | ||
Is 45 5I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, 6That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; 7I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.' 8"Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the LORD, have created it. 9"Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, "What are you making?' Or shall your handiwork say, "He has no hands'? 10Woe to him who says to his father, "What are you begetting?' Or to the woman, "What have you brought forth?"' 11Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me. 12I have made the earth, And created man on it. I--My hands--stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded. 13I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward," Says the LORD of hosts. The LORD, the Only Savior 14 Thus says the LORD: "The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush And of the Sabeans, men of stature, Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours; They shall walk behind you, They shall come over in chains; And they shall bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying, "Surely God is in you, And there is no other; There is no other God."' 15Truly You are God, who hide Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior! 16They shall be ashamed And also disgraced, all of them; They shall go in confusion together, Who are makers of idols. 17But Israel shall be saved by the LORD With an everlasting salvation; You shall not be ashamed or disgraced Forever and ever. 18For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. We see the Lord Jesus throughout scripture. Why can't others see? Praise the Lord Jesus! |

243 | Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. | Rev 3:14 | Pastor Glenn | 96874 | ||
Truthfinder, I am glad that you realize that God had wisdom throughout all eternity. But, would God say things like: Matthew 4:10b ... "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'[ Deuteronomy 6:13] and then throw in "His junior partner"? Is He trying to confuse us? The answer is no. We can serve Jesus because He is also God. Notice that without recognizing Christ's full deity, you can not worship Jesus, you can not really honor Jesus fully, you cannot fully respect Him for who He is. I challenge you now to show me one scripture that warns us not to worship Christ, or to honour Him, or show Him too much respect. Deuteronomy 6:13 cannot be used since Heb 1 shows even the angels must worship Him. By your theology it seems that any angels could have stepped in and died for our sins. But what angel would have had power to get back up from the dead as Christ did by His own power? John 10 17"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." 19Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. |

244 | the angels that sinned | 2 Pet 2:4 | Pastor Glenn | 96861 | ||
Truthfinder, This is as close as I have noticed you come to fully accepting Christ in your statement: "...He shows that those who received Christ Jesus, exercising faith in his name, were given “authority to become God’s children, . . . [being] born, not from blood or from a fleshly will or from man’s will, but from God.” ..." To add to the fine scriptures and comments of Nolan, Colin, DarcyA, and Hank, I wanted to encourage you to not be afraid to go the next step and confess Christ's full deity. Scripturally, what is the danger? I know that you see this is as not the real truth. But, please think about what Apostle Paul or Christ Himself might say if you could speak to him right now, directly. I think that they would say the same things that we are saying. Also, notice that Moses, Job, Abraham, Isaiah, and others in the old testament did not have new testament scriptures as we have. But, they still recognized Christ's full deity! John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 45Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you--Moses, in whom you trust. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" Truthfinder, when you really find Christ, you have found the truth: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. |

Is 55 7Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. 9"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. There are more. |

247 | Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. | Rev 3:14 | Pastor Glenn | 96633 | ||
Truthfinder, The Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. Quoting from Radioman2's post: "...This passage is speaking of Wisdom, and for those who teach this is Jesus the evidence is not there. Another point is that the Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was God's first creation and therefore believe this to be speaking of Jesus and like to use different Bible Versions that would indicate that this Wisdom was created...." By this strange reasoning, God was not really "God" until after He "created" wisdom. How could He have been God before He had wisdom. Can you see that this Jehovah's Witness argument is both anti-Jehovah, as well as, anti-Christ? Maybe by reading somewhere between the lines of the NWT it is written: "Duh..., well I think I will create wisdom"? :o( Pastor Glenn |

249 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Pastor Glenn | 94817 | ||
Hank, I also noticed those kinds of important errors. The scariest part is the danger of blaspheme against the Holy Spirit! But to stay focused, I hope that Truthfinder realizes that the name of Jesus is all important to salvation. Even if he is right about the use of "Jehovah" over "LORD", it is a moot point. He must deal with Jesus, there is no way around Him: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. God Bless you Sir, Pastor Glenn |

250 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Pastor Glenn | 94811 | ||
Truthfinder, You said: "And Heb. 1:8-12 reads, NWT, ” 8 But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever And Psalm 102:25 reads, NWT, 25 Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth itself, And the heavens are the work of your hands. Here the psalmist was talking about Jehovah God, but the apostle Paul applied these words to Jesus Christ as you say in Hebrews 1:10, 11 As it turns out, these words apply to Jesus, for he acted as Jehovah’s Agent in creating the universe just as Colossians 1:15, 16 tells us. So Jesus, too, could be said to have “laid the foundations of the earth.” Yes, all three were involved in creating the universe and man. (Let us..), God’s active force or holy, God’s Son and he himself. Truthfinder" But now you say "When you write something without any proof, I call it assertion. I have no problem with asserting per se. Now I do have a problem with you asserting that the person the Father Jehovah, is one and the same as the person Son Jesus." So Truthfinder, what part of your statement are you now taking back? Exodus 6:3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD[6:3 Hebrew [YHWH, ] traditionally [Jehovah] ] I was not known to them. Exodus 3:15 Moreover God said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: "The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.' Whether "Jehovah" is the Father's personal name or a title for the Godhead or for the person of Jesus (the Word) is for you to ponder. The bottom line is that as for the name Jesus Christ: Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Again, notice that David called Christ Lord and also Rev 19:16 calls Him "LORD OF LORDS". What are the implications? What is the significance? Pastor Glenn |

251 | better for him if a millstone were hung? | Mark 9:39 | Pastor Glenn | 94689 | ||
EdB, Any group that denies the deity of Christ obviously has Jesus Christ wrong. I feel that there are indeed bad teaching with many in the WOF movement, but to say they have a different Christ is very questionable. Now before you fly off the handle as you have so many times before, please pay closer attention to what people actually say. I have been looking for where Gracefull actually said that Jesus was "tortured by Satan". Copeland said it, but Gracefull merely said that He suffered in hell. Well, is that really enough to accuse her of having another Jesus? Also consider this scripture before you decide to weed out the tares: Mat 13 The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares 24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27So the servants of the owner came and said to him, "Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' 28He said to them, "An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, "Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' 29But he said, "No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.""'

252 | Can someone explain this verse. | Gen 48:22 | Pastor Glenn | 94668 | ||
DarcyA, Sorry, but I can't find it in the bible. However, there is a controversial online book called the "Book of Jasher" that has a whole lot to say about that war. See chapter 37 at: http://www.nazarene.net/jasher/ Notice that no dead sea scrolls or other ancient documents have been found to authenticate it. So, believe it at your own risk. Pastor Glenn |

Lucantonio, I just looked up your history on this forum. It appears that you only make 1 post every 9 months. :o) Rev 19:16 uses Kurios kurios; from kuros (authority); lord, master:-- I maintain that while the Son is not the same "person" as the Father, Jesus Christ (the Son) is Yhvh (i.e.Yehovah). You need to go to post ID 88403 and read what we have already discussed before we continue. Will you require 9 more months? ;-) Pastor Glenn |

254 | better for him if a millstone were hung? | Mark 9:39 | Pastor Glenn | 94641 | ||
Mark 9 38 Now John answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us." 39But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40For he who is not against us is on our side. 41For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. 42 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. " In light of verse 42 I would be afraid to attack Word of Faith followers or anyone else that are working in Jesus' name. Some might say that WOF have a different Jesus, but I notice in this scripture that Jesus did not make that distiction. There is a danger in trying to say that some have a different Jesus. The Jesus of the Mormons is a different story. The Mormons make it obvious. Galatians 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Romans 12 Behave Like a Christian 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,"[1] says the Lord. 20Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."[2] 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Truthfinder, You said: "All through the Greek scriptures, a clear distinction between "God" and "Jesus" is made." But, what is the implications of these scriptures in relation to our "salvation" and Christ being "Lord"?: 1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ–their Lord and ours: Mat 22 41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42"What do you think about the Christ[4] ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. 43He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, 44" 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." '[5] 45If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms[11:15 NU-Text and M-Text read [kingdom ... has become.] ] of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" Revelation 17:14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings–and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." Revelation 19:16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. But wait one minute, notice that David called Christ Lord and also Rev 19:16 calls Him "LORD OF LORDS". What are the implications? What is the significance? Pastor Glenn |

gbennett76, You said: "...I believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth...." However, oral tradition was attacked by Jesus: Mark 7 3For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders. 4When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches. 5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?" 6He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: "This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 7And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'[2] 8For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men[3] --the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do." 9He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10For Moses said, "Honor your father and your mother';[4] and, "He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'[5] 11But you say, "If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban"--' (that is, a gift to God), 12then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do." Jesus and the apostles gave us the example of how scripture must be interpreted in light of scripture. Also, it is clear that the New Testament is built on the Old Testament: Luke 24:32 And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" Luke 24:44 Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." Luke 24:45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Acts 8:32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. Pastor Glenn |

gbennett76, You said, "A Little Mormon Thought... ..." A little Mormonism, A dash of secular humanism, a cup of gnosticism, 2 teaspoons of homosexualism, top it all off with sexual immorality. Shake well, and what do you get: 1 Cor 6 9Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[1] nor sodomites, 10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. We stand by the belief in the authority of scripture. It is also a rule for every post on this forum. I hope that others now understand why this is a rule. They that stand for nothing will fall for anything.

gbenntt76, You said: "These are oral traditions of the early gnostic church." You must realize that Apostle Paul never conveyed any "oral traditions" to anyone. He taught scripture and eyewitness accounts of the ressurection of Christ. So for you to grab onto all of this "oral traditions of the early gnostic church" just goes to show your lack of a foundation in Christ.

I understand what you were saying EdB. But, it is sad that this person has yet to acknowledge the authority of scripture. Gbennett76 posts strawman arguments without telling his sources. That argument falsely says that we have only two scriptures on which to base sola scriptura, but I like what Jesus said: Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 46For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
