AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 2:52 ¶ And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men. [1 Sam 2:26] |
Subject: How can God (Jesus) increase in wisdom? |
Bible Note: I believe Jesus is the Christ. The SON of the living God. Who will one day sit at the right hand of the Father, and will rule all the earth as it is written in the bible. I believe He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. I belive Jesus is the true vine, and His Father is the Gardener who will cut off every branch in Him that does not bear fruit. (John 15:1). I believe Christ is the way and the truth, and the life. And that no one can come through the Father except through Him. (John 14:6) I DON'T believe in the triune god theory (I once read that this theory was once a pagan belief). But most of all, I believe the words of Jesus just as they are written. I don't try to give my interpretation of what it means. If Jesus says, "the Father is greater than I", then I believe THAT's what He meant. If he's says, "Only the Father knows, not even the Son knows", then I believe THAT's what He meant. I also believe that you and I can go on, and on, and on, and on, about this subject, and what we believe will still be the same today, tomorrow, and 2 years from now. You wrote, "As far as our dicussion is concerned, I do not consider the question of the nature of God to be a foolish controversy." My answer to that is the nature of God is NOT foolish, but our trying to convince each other of what we believe, is. So let me make this very, very, clear to you so that you are not confused anymore about what I believe. Here goes, "I do NOT believe in the concept of the trinity. And unless the Holy Spirit convinces me other wise (and let me reinterate what I just said, THE HOLY SPIRIT), I will continue to believe that Jesus is just the Son of God, who is loved by the Father, since the beginning of time. Have a blessed day! |
