41 | When and how EVIL came about? | Rom 5:12 | zerotheory | 65527 | ||
[Gen. 3:5] speaks of good and evil as well as [Gen. 3:22,23]"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: [Ver.23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. How did evil come about? Who was God speaking to? Again, why is he referencing "us"? If he was speaking about the trinity then he just said Man has became a God. ???? |

42 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65521 | ||
Joe, [quote from Joe]"We differ in a few respects on what He is like and how He operates, but that is a far cry from saying we believe in different Gods. The problem is not God being "different" for me and "different" for Hank. Our God is the same, but our problem is in our understanding of God." Here is a good one for you or anyone else to answer. It has to do with confusion from communication and definition: What is the definition of "NOTHING", what is the definition of "ZERO" and what is the meaning of the number "0"? Does or can "NOTHING" exist? |

Joe, Great point! "The problem is not God being "different" for me and "different" for Hank. Our God is the same, but our problem is in our understanding of God." I am happy for both of you. How is it that you are so certain? Is it because you both beleive there is only one God and they are one in the same? How would you explain Hindus, Muslins, Buddists, or any other non-Christian? Or for that matter that of the Pantheist? |

Thanks Robert, But [Rom. 5:13] says sin was already:"(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law." How did evil begin? Where did it come from? |

"This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." HELP! Clearly God is speaking of his Son, Jesus Christ. He is not speaking of himself aside from the fact that he(Jesus) is of him(God). |

Hank, thank you very much for your response. Here is one thing I believe, I believe that God did not intend for labels to be placed on people for their thoughts and that just because one feels differently from another they are no more or less worthy of faith. Am I a pantheist? No, but my eyes, mind, and heart are open to understnad that point of view. Do I believe in **parts** of cosmotheism? Absolutly! The reason why is because there is both logical and mathematical proof that God exists. Let me ask you a question; Do you think that the God you know is the "EXACT" same God as anyone else knows? If your answer is "yes" then why all the discussion? If your answer is "No" then there God is different then yours. Here is a conflict in your statement: Jeremiah 17:9: "The heart is deceitful about all things, and desperately wicked." **AND** Proverbs 3:5,6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Here is a case and point: "But to remember always that God put it together and we should never presume to try to pick it apart." Man put it together through God. God changed everything from one language to multiple for a reason. Love is in the heart and logic is in the mind. God gave us both, it was for a reason. There is a message in all of this: "Use your mind to find all of Gods glory and your heart to love him with all or YOUR glory". Sorry, just observations. |

49 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65497 | ||
I don't think so because (I'm not sure where but) scripture says that you are with God from the very beginning. | ||||||
50 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65496 | ||
[John 1:12] But as many as received **him(Jesus)**, to them gave **he(Jesus)** power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on **his(Jesus)** name: [John 1:13] ***Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.*** And here is the item you are looking for: [John 1:14] "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." It was here at this time that Jesus, the Son of God, was **begotten**(created). |

Tim, Thanks for all of your help. I'm sorry but I see [Col.1:16] as: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. I see it as the "him" is in reference to [v.15]: Who is the *image* of the *invisible God*, the firstborn of every creature. Correct me if what I'm seeing is not correct but: [v13]Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. [v.14]In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. [v.18]And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. [v.19] For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. Clearly there is reference to Jesus but there is also reference to [ver.3] "We give thanks to God **and** the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you." The passage does not read [God, our Lord Jesus Christ]. [John 1:14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the **only begotten** of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ***NOTE****IMPORTANT**** The definition of begotten: [websters] "To cause to exist or occur; produce". It appears as though you believe in Trinity as the Godhead. So let me ask you, if the Godhead is all seperate but equal Gods then why is it that Jesus refers to "my GOD" in [Mark 15:34] "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" If Jesus were part of a Godhead then first, why would he feel forsaken, and second, why wouldn't he know he couldn't have been forsaken? Jesus could not have been forsaken because the Godhead could not have continued to exist without him and if he were the God would have know that. |

Hank, Clearly Jesus is discussed in John 1 however, look at [John 1:13] Which were **born**, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, **but of God**." [John 1:13] tells of the **creation** of Jesus Christ by hte will of God. "Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, or merely a prophet, or some sort of angelic being, or perhaps just a man?" I think everyone and everything is the eternal Son of God. What DO you believe? I believe in MYSELF. I believe in my versions of interpretations as hopefully you believe in yours. Hearing your version helps me form mine and for that I thank you. |

53 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65414 | ||
Tim, Sorry but I see [Col. 1:16] as: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. I don't see anything of Jesus. Me, myself, and I. Who is it? Do you see why I have questions, it's sorta confussing. Jesus is the Son, Son implies creation. Creation comes from something, in this case it came from God. The God which wasn't created, the *ONE* and only original and eternal God. GOD! Again, sorry I don't see Jesus here: [John 1:1-4] 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. |

54 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65405 | ||
[If you believe that Jesus (Col. 1:16) created all things, then why do you not accept the 'us' of Gen. 1:26?] First, I didn't agree Jesus created all. God, the eternal, did. No, I don't believe in three seperate Gods, just one. The God Eternity, the God that is in Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, and in all of mankind. "2) Where does Scripture say that Jesus was created?" I do not know. According to scripture, aren't all men the Son of God? "3) Where does Scripture say that the Holy came into being?" Again, I do not know. |

Mr. Moran, Yes, I do believe Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and that: [Col. 1:16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, all things consist of him. [Col 1:17]. However, this does not mean that I accept Trinity. In order to be a father you need a child, in order to be Holy Spirit you need life and death. When God created his Son, from himself, he became God the Father and the Son. However, I don't think the Holy Spirit came about until Jesus lived and died. [Rev. 1:8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty |

[Gen 1:26] And God said, Let us make man in *our* image, after *our* likeness. God was the only one other then everything else which was just created. Sorry, but at this time there is no mention of any son or holy spirit plus you yourself has said the father, the son, and the holy spirit are all one in the same. Again, it goes back to cronology. Please help me understand. | ||||||

I guess my problem is in the cronology of the events. It seems to me that God would have explained his son and his holy spirit from the beginning. Also, nothing would deter me from having the same view of the others if they were not considered the same as God at the same time as God. If they are also God then why not just refer to them as God? | ||||||
58 | In Gen 1.26, God refers to us and our.. | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65378 | ||
Here is my problem, "It teaches that there is one God who manifests Himself in three Persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. --Hank". I don't think God was speaking in this way. You have said God is all three, who was God speaking to? It appears to me that God is speaking to, and of, everything which was just created, everthing that is or can ever be. God spoke to *everything* that was just created and then created man in the image of everything, light, night, heaven, earth, water, land, every living creature, as well as God. | ||||||
59 | In Gen 1.26, God refers to us and our.. | Bible general Archive 1 | zerotheory | 65370 | ||
I'm sorry but this does not help. Genesis talks of the beginning and in the beginning the word was with God and the word was god but it wasn't until later that the word became flesh. I don't understand how God would have referred to *US* and *OUR* in the beginning. If your answer were the case then wouldn't scripture put the events in correct order? | ||||||
60 | In Gen 1.26, God refers to us and our.. | Not Specified | zerotheory | 65358 | ||
In Genesis 1.26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." When God said *us* and *our* who are the others he is speaking to and referring of? From the statement it seems that God was not alone. |
