Bible Note: Dear Tim, Can you explain between Almighty and Mighty I think there are differences between the two. Ge 28:3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Or you will say that Isaiah is imprudent to wrote they Mighty instead of Almighty. You said:like Phil. 2:5-11. This passage clearly shows that Jesus possessed equality with God, but did not cling to it. Instead, He lowered Himself by taking on human nature. Here in this passages that you quoted, of course He is God He did not cling to His being God before He form as a human. Because He is God before the birth of Mary. But not His equality to God the father. Meaning His not cling to what he was before, but not as a God the father before. It is very clear that Jesus himself taught us that His Father is greater than He is why we should not believed in Him? Why we keep trying to made out our toughts that they are equal? It is Jesus Christ Himself accepted that His Father is Greater than Him. Is Jesus Christ lie to us? Jesus Christ also said that it is Father knows when is the time of His second coming, Is that possible that if they are equal He dont know something that know of His father? Tim, it is Jesus said that His father is greater than He is, is this hard to believed? Do you think its a trick? if we are really a follower of Him we must believed in Him instead of come out of any conclusions that not mention by Him. As a pentecostal before, I am belong to the same believed, but I think it is lack of biblical explainations since it was Jesus Himself said that they are not equal so I have to believed in Him instead of conclusions. Tim, I am not saying that trinitarian believe is wrong, who is can justify us people who is really right or wrong it is only God. That is why I am always pray that God may help me if I done something wrong that I dont know. If I define them wrong in my shorcoming as a human may God forgive me and help to make me strong in my weak believe. I know the most important is the great two commandments and the other passages will show us as a guideline how to perform the two gratest commandments. God bless, Johnny |
