This is a roundabout way of claiming that Jesus is not God. God exists in three forms: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One of these is visible: Jesus Christ; the other two are not.
That is why Jesus said this: "If you have known me, you will know my Father too. And from now on you...
And as you mentioned in the following thread yesterday, the Bible states that God is spirit.
Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation
Please note that Colossians 1:15 says that God is invisible.
Jesus was visible so that is one way we know that Jesus was not God.
God became visible in Jesus and then Jesus manifested God.
Jesus was a perfect reflection of God, a mirror image of God, but not God incarnate.
Colossians 1
14 In...
The reason that the Jewish leaders picked up rocks again to stone him to death is because they thought that Jesus was claiming to be God, but that does not mean that Jesus was claiming to be God. Jesus was not claiming to be God.
Jesus was the Son of God, but the Son is not identical to the...
Baha'is believe that we can know God's attributes through what the Messengers of God reveal about God's attributes and because the Messengers perfectly reflect God's attributes. Jesus was a perfect mirror image of God which is why Jesus said, “The Father is in the Son” (John 14:11, John17:21)...
According to my beliefs...
The Father is in the Son because Jesus was like a clear mirror, and God became visible in the mirror. This is why Jesus said, “The Father is in the Son” (John 14:11, John17:21), meaning that God is visible and manifest in Jesus.
John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the...
No… but because we are His body, He invited us to experience God as one. When Jesus said that scripture declares we are gods, He meant that we are participating in the God gift of rulership and authority.
Yes, Jesus and his Father are one: One in purpose, one in unity, one in goal, one in belief that is why Jesus prayed that his followers be one just as he and his Father are one - see John 17:11; John17:21-23
Surely Jesus was Not praying that his followers also become God !
Brian2, you know very well that that is an invalid scripture repackaged to claim Jesus as God.
There is no such thing as ‘BY HIM AND THROUGH HIM’… that is an INCONGRUOUS statement!!!
Not only that by trinity scripture ALSO says that THE FATHER CREATED THROUGH THE SON…
How do you justify your...
One in spirit but not one and the same person. For example, I and my father are one does not mean I am my father. It is simply alluding to one in spirit and purpose otherwise this passage below means we are all the Father and Jesus which we are not.
John17:21 That they all may be one; as...
I have no problem answering that and I have already answered it here over a dozen times.
Jesus said he that hath seen me hath seen the Father (John 14:9) because Jesus was a mirror image of His Father.
Please note that Colossians 1:15 says that God is invisible.
Jesus was visible so that is one...
No neither the Bible nor the trinity teaching say that the Father became a man.
The Father is in the Son because the Father is literally in the Son,,,,,,,,,,, just as the Son is literally in the Father.
Christ is literally in Christians (through the Holy Spirit) and the Father is literally in...
The Bible says that the Son is in the Father and the Father is in the Son:
God's Son is one with the Father (I and my Father are one - John 10:30)
John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
John17:21 That they all may be...
Jesus was the Son of God, but the Son is not identical to the Father since the Father possesses certain Attributes that the Son does not possess: The Attributes that are unique to God: Unchanging, Impassable, Infinite, Omnipresent, Self-Existent, Self-Sufficient, and Immaterial, nobody except...
Prove it. Sounds completely made up. Evidence please.
In the Bible Yahweh does a lot of changing.
Also Yahweh is a Near Eastern deity and Jesus a Hellenistic savior demigod. Whom exist only in myth.
It's nice you want to define boundaries for fictional beings but I don't see the point?
Jesus...

No, not at all. You keep saying Jesus was made in the image of the invisible God so I just said all humanity is made in the image of God - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
In Colossians, what was created was not the...
The Bible teaches that God resurrected Jesus -> Acts 2:24; Acts 3:15; Acts 5:30 A; Acts 10:40; Acts 13:30,37; Romans 4:24; Colossians 2:12
So, dead from Friday to Sunday Jesus was dead just as Jesus taught about the dead at John 11:11-14 from Psalm 115:17; Isaiah 38:18; Ecclesiastes 9:5
