42 | The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost. | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 76848 | ||
Your first paragraph is false, the Trinity has never meant three Gods. the Trinity is one God, three personalities. "3. And the universal [true Christian] faith is this: that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; 4. Neither confounding the Persons; nor dividing the Substance. 5. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost. 6. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory Equal, the Majesty Coeternal. 7. Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and such is the Holy Ghost. 8. The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: the Holy Ghost uncreate. 9. The Father is incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible. 10. The Father is eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost eternal. 11. And yet they are not three Eternals: but one Eternal." Please do not put words in my mouth, I was responing to YOUR tatement that 1.Jesus is God, 2. God is bigger that Jesus. if 1 is true that Jesus is not bigger that God, because He Is God. I did not say anything about the Father. John 14:28 is explained in Phil 2:6 that Jesus, being God emptied Himself and to take on the form of a man. you say God has no 'form' when it is shown that 'form' means the essential attributes of His nature do you mean that God has no essential attributes? I am not Confusing Jesus with the Fathere as I am speaking of Jesus. The Fathere is God and Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is God. Is am saying what Jesus said. He spoke of the Father as God and spoke to Him as a separate person and God the Father replied to Him. Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit as a separate person. To be tempted and not sin is the whole reason that Jesus, being God, became man, and subjected himself to temptation and the cross. on Earth He was Immanuel God with us, showing us how to submit ourselves to God the Father, with the power of God the Spirit Philippians 2:6-11 DRB Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (7) But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. (8) He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. (9) For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names: (10) That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: (11) And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father. |

Last thing first. the word "Trinity" just says what is plainly taught in the Scriptures, that the Father is God, that Jesus is God and that the Holy Spirit is God, and that these three are one. It is interesting that you first agree with me and ssay that Jesus is God, and then in the very next sentence you say that "God is so much bigger than Jesus". If Jesus is God then he is not bigger than Himself. Please take a look at what Phil 2:6 reals says 'that BEING (existing in present tense) in the form (MORPH means having the essential attributes as shown in the form)" shows tht Jesus is God. not that He is "NOT God" as you said wich contridicted your earlier statement. He was God before He became human and He still is God. You are confusing Him with the Father. He came to proclaim the Father as God, just as the Holy Spirit proclaims Him as God. So it is "According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace unto you and peace be multiplied. " (1 Peter 1:2 DRB) so that But every one in his own order: the firstfruits, Christ: then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming. Afterwards the end: when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father: when he shall have brought to nought all principality and power and virtue. (1 Corinthians 15:23-24 DRB) |

Jesus, god with us, spoke of His Father as God, and spokeof the Holy Spirit as a separate person from Himself. the statement "Jesus was a glimpse of who God was but not the complete form of God as he was merely a man." directly denys the fact that Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, Phil 2:7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. that is BEING one with God. He always was and was not created because He ceated everything that is. Jesus is the Creator, not the created. He is God (John 1:1) |

45 | the purpose of the church? | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 76798 | ||
"The church is a group of people who have been redeemed by the precious blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and have meanwhile committed themselves into God's hand, gladly doing His will, and gladly standing on the earth for Him to maintain His testimony" Watchman Nee "The Prayer Ministry of the Church" 15 |
||||||
46 | He does not wish for any to perish... | 2 Pet 3:9 | meusing | 76794 | ||
Watchman Nee gives a good illustration about God's will and man's actions. "Let us use some Old Testament examples to illustrate how earth governs heaven. When Moses on the top of the hill held up his hand, Israel prevailed; but when he let down his hand, Amelek prevailed (see Ex. 17.9-11). Who decided the victory or defeat at the the foot of the hill? Was it God who willed it of was it Moses? Here we see the principle of God's working, the secret of His action: whatever He wills to do, if man does not will it, He WILL not do it. We cannot make God do what He does not want to do, but we can hinder Him from doing what He does wish to do. In heaven God wants the Children of Israel to win; yet on earth, if Moses does not hold up his hand Israel will be defeated, but if indeed he holds up his hand Israel will win. The earth governs heaven." The Prayer Ministry of the Church p10. We see this as well with the story of Balaam in Numbers. Three times he unwillingly prophesied God's blessing of the children of Israel which was fixed in heaven. "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent. Shall he say and not do? and shall he speak and not make it good? Behold, I have received mission to bless; and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it. He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen wrong in Israel; Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a king is in his midst. God brought him out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a buffalo. For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. At this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! (Numbers 23:19-23 Darby) and yet he was able to cause Israel to sin and rouse God to anger. "And Israel joined himself to Baal-Peor; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel. " (Numbers 25:3 Darby) It was Eleazar's actions that stayed God's anger. Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. (Numbers 25:11 Darby) |

Jesus taught us about God the Father. Jesus is God with us, Immanuel. who has all the attributes of deity see Phil. 2:6. The Holy Spirit is God, as lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God, Acts 5:3. Our bodies are the temple of God the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]? 1 Cor 6:19 Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God?

I believe you are mistaking me with Giam. 1. I beleive that God IS above and separate from His creation. I do NOT believe that everyting is God. I stated God is not His creation. Love is only part of what God is. so let us look at God, not love. |

51 | John11:7-16 | John 11:7 | meusing | 72819 | ||
John Henry : (3.) Christ's answer to this objection (Joh_11:9, Joh_11:10): Are there not twelve hours in the day? The Jews divided every day into twelve hours, and made their hours longer or shorter according as the days were, so that an hour with them was the twelfth part of the time between sun and sun; so some. Or, lying much more south than we, their days were nearer twelve hours long than ours. The divine Providence has given us day-light to work by, and lengthens it out to a competent time; and, reckoning the year round, every country has just as much daylight as night, and so much more as the twilights amount to. Man's life is a day; this day is divided into divers ages, states, and opportunities, as into hours shorter or longer, as God has appointed; the consideration of this should make us not only very busy, as to the work of life (if there were twelve hours in the day, each of them ought to be filled up with duty, and none of them trifled away), but also very easy as to the perils of life; our day shall be lengthened out till our work be done, and our testimony finished. This Christ applies to his case, and shows why he must go to Judea, because he had a clear call to go. For the opening of this, [1.] He shows the comfort and satisfaction which a man has in his own mind while he keeps in the way of his duty, as it is in general prescribed by the word of God, and particularly determined by the providence of God: If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not; that is, If a man keep close to his duty, and mind that, and set the will of God before him as his rule, with an impartial respect to all God's commandments, he does not hesitate in his own mind, but, walking uprightly, walks surely, and with a holy confidence. As he that walks in the day stumbles not, but goes on steadily and cheerfully in his way, because he sees the light of this world, and by it sees his way before him; so a good man, without any collateral security or sinister aims, relies upon the word of God as his rule, and regards the glory of God as his end, because he sees those two great lights, and keeps his eye upon them; thus he is furnished with a faithful guide in all his doubts, and a powerful guard in all his dangers, Gal_6:4; Psa_119:6. Christ, wherever he went, walked in the day, and so shall we, if we follow his steps. [2.] He shows the pain and peril a man is in who walks not according to this rule (Joh_11:10): If a man walk in the night, he stumbles; that is, If a man walk in the way of his heart, and the sight of his eyes, and according to the course of this world, - if he consult his own carnal reasonings more than the will and glory of God, - he falls into temptations and snares, is liable to great uneasiness and frightful apprehensions, trembles at the shaking of a leaf, and flees when none pursues; while an upright man laughs at the shaking of the spear, and stands undaunted when ten thousand invade. See Isa_33:14-16, he stumbles, because there is no light in him, for light in us is that to our moral actions which light about us is to our natural actions. He has not a good principle within; he is not sincere; his eye is evil. Thus Christ not only justifies his purpose of going into Judea, but encourages his disciples to go along with him, and fear no evil. |

52 | John11:8 I see | John 11:8 | meusing | 72817 | ||
John Gill coments: Joh 11:8 - His disciples said unto him, master,.... Addressing him very reverently, and with great concern for his safety, as well as their own: the Jews of late, or but now, sought to stone thee; as they had attempted to do twice in a very little time; see Joh_8:59; and goest thou thither again? where there are so many enemies; and so much danger, and but little hope of doing much good; whereas here he was among his friends, and in safety, and very useful. |

53 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | meusing | 64108 | ||
God's Love is constant. We keep His word out of love and thereby show that we are abiding (living) in the love of and for God. | ||||||
54 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | meusing | 64107 | ||
In answer to your second question : No, It is faith in Jesus that leads us to have the courage and desire to be obedient because through Him we have eternal life and we do not want to displease Him. Our life is now a life of obeience because we love Him who died for us and gave Himself for us so we might be saved. |

56 | Jesus | NT general Archive 1 | meusing | 64076 | ||
We are not saved by the our belief in the Trinity, We are saved by our belief that the shed blood of The Son of God cleanses us from all sins, and our life is now to be lived for th one who lived and died for us. Jesus did not come to teach the Trinity, He did not need to. As God, He took Himself the form of a servant to show us that God was our Father. He showed by His actions that He was God in the flesh. And He talked about the Holy Spirit of God as a Person who would speak of Him, as He spoke of His Father. I am suprised that when they said that Jesus never claimed to be the only begotten son that you did not show them John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. |

57 | Muslim missionaries said to me last week | Phil 2:7 | meusing | 64071 | ||
That is the same type of argument that the tempter used : "If you are the Son of God ..." do this of that to proove it. However Jesus being God submitteted to all this as the writer of Hebrews says : Heb 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. Heb 4:16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]. Jesus came to die on the Cross so the mockers challenge was not justifiable. They were telling Him to disobey and take Himself out of the the will of God. He came to die for us. It was His love that held Him there and His determination to endure all so that He as God could take our punishement and be victorious over it. please ask your friends next time you see them, "How would it have proved Jesus was God's Son if He had disobeyed Him?" |

58 | a Muslim arguement | John 1:3 | meusing | 64069 | ||
The Muslims who told you this seem to have never read the Gospels or the Epistles. Jesus is the Creator of all. He himself said that 'before Abraham was I AM!' He was not created. He who is God, took upon Himself Humanity to bring us back to Himself. | ||||||
59 | Muslim missionaries said to me | Matt 16:16 | meusing | 64065 | ||
Jesus claimed that He existed before Abraham, and He claimed that He is the 'I AM'. He demonstrated all the attributes of divintiy, He excepted worship AS God, which even the Angels did not do. He did not negate his sonship wih God but repeatedly refered to Himself as the Son and to God as His Father. It was on Peter's statement of His Sonship that He would build His church. Who ever told you that Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God has either never read the Gospels or is deliberatly lieing to you. |
