Bible Note: Hi BradK Not sure what you mean by 'what background am I' but I grew up in what I guess you would call a traditional baptist church. At the age of 24 (I think it was 24 :) ), I made my confession that Jesus is Lord and that I believed in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Since then, I've been growing up in Him. I wasn't really asking a question. I guess I was trying to express to anyone who may be a JW, that I don't put Jesus above God the Father (after talking with some JWs, I was left with the impression that they believe we place Jesus in a higher place than God the Father). I do believe Jesus Christ is God. And I do believe that God the Father and God the Son are one (John 10:30) and thus I believe in the diety of Christ. I hope my post does not sound as if I am disputing that or the truth that Jesus is God. I guess I was trying to make a distinction between God the Father and God the Son. Hope I satisfied your curiosity :) Abba Father bless and keep you... |
