I am not sure is it Jesus or not. But I know that according to the Bible, there is only one true God who is greater than Jesus:
This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
John 17:3
the Father is greater than I.
John 14:28
It is the one who says, He will come. So must be Jesus, no?
I thought thats what Christian interpreted it.
Pulpit Commentary:
Verse 8. - A prelude to the book. In the simple majesty of its solemn language it reminds us of the opening of St. John's Gospel and of his First Epistle. "I am the...

No, prophecy didn't end.
As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith YHWH; My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith YHWH, from henceforth...
In brief, it says Muhammad was the seal of the prophets because he was the last prophet in the Age of Prophecy that started with Adam.
So in effect, Muhammad sealed off the Age of Prophecy and drew it to a close.
Several years ago, @Dawnofhope explained what 'seal of the prophets' means to a...
No, 101G… how it hurts you to see the truth and try to find ways to ignore it!!!
Jesus HAS the seven spirits because GOD POURED IT OUT ONTO HIM (at the anointment at the river Jordan).
Please show me how you are going to deny that. Please use chapters and verses in your proof??!!

No, they are not. Unless you want to say that a husband and wife are LITERALLY one person, or maybe two persons that are equal? Hmmm not insofar as I understand the scriptures.

In the Bible, God says of Himself, "I am the alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end" Revelation22:13
It would seem to me this O.P asks a question that it also answers!
I didn't say that it "has to be".
I was just pointing out an obvious self contradiction in your post.
Although to me, it is obvious that it has to be independent of anyone. Including god.
Because morality ultimately has to do with well-being in the broadest sense.
And it seems to me that...
@Left Coast and @TagliatelliMonster please explain why this standard has to be independent of God.
Meanwhile, I'll explain why it doesn't.
There is nothing before God.
(Revelation 1:8) “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the...
He was claiming to be God when he said things like the following:
If you have seen me you have seen the Father. John 14:8-9
Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. John 2:19
I and my Father are one. John 10:30-33 (That's why they took up stones to try to stone him.)
When he...
I've already said that the NT carries a "Hellenistic flavour".
The Gospel of John was included in the Bible canon for its "Christology". It starts off with philosophical ramblings and not the words of Jesus.
A lot of the NT is about Paul and his experiences in conversion of gentiles.
Not all...
Yes that is the belief according to scripture.
The first words of John's gospel imply that Jesus ("the Word") is God.In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. John 1:14
And Jesus (sometimes)...
"If the messenger says that god says that some people should be tortured to death, and believers torture some people to death, who is responsible for those people being tortured to death?"
No, only the people who do the torturing to death are responsible since they have free will to choose to...
Here's the real question: can things magically poof themselves into existence?
- if yes, then the God you describe is unnecessary.
- if no, then the God you describe is impossible.
I am? No, you must be reading something other than what I wrote.
I find it's rather simple.
Revelation22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The beginning is not a process. Any process that exists, would only start after the beginning.
If...
