    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Anyone who has seen Jesus has seen the Attributes of God, but they have not SEEN GOD...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    "If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:7 That's what the Bible clearly says, so why should I accept what you say? Do you know what "I and the Father are one" means? It means they are ONE! Not two, not identical, not...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    It is astonishing to me that you and others don't understand what the Bible clearly says, probably because the Bible communicates spiritual truths. Do you know what "I and my Father are one" means? It means that they are both God. John 1:1 clearly says that "In the beginning was the Word...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    "I and the Father are one." doesn't mean that Jesus is God. “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30) means that whatever pertains to Jesus, all His acts and doings, are identical with the Will of the Father. Jesus and God also share the same Holy Spirit, so in that sense they are one. Jesus also...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    So should I believe you or Jesus and/or John? Jesus said, in John 14:7, "If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” Of course believing in God, the Trinity, the truth of Scripture, eternal life, etc. are all by faith. If they were...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    I didn't realize that you are such an authority on Bible translation! How long have you studied ancient, Hebrew, and Koine Greek? Which source documents have you used? Which ones did you find reliable and which ones not? Please list your experience as a Bible translator and/or your...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    There is no such thing as God the Father and God the Son. There is only God the Father. The Son is not the Father. The following translations of john 1:18 have been altered by Trinitarian Christians in order to make Jesus into God. This is despicable, not to mention completely illogical! John...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    You quote John 1:18, but you need to understand it in context. "No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known." This clearly means that no one has ever seen God the Father, but they have seen God the Son! See this -> John...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    You know that God exists by faith and so do I, but that is not the same as factual knowledge which is provable. They have seen the image of God, not God. An image is not that which it reflects. Colossians 1 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    John 14:7-9, "If you have known me, you will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be content.” Jesus replied, “Have I been with you for so long, and you have not known me, Philip? The person who has seen me...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    Nobody SAW GOD when Jesus appeared on Earth, because Jesus was not God. John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Jesus was a Manifestation of God, not God incarnate, so what people saw when they saw Jesus was a Manifestation of God, who was also a Prophet and a Messenger of God. You...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    "Jesus made God visible. That means that Jesus and God were TWO separate entities." That is very poor reasoning. When people saw Jesus they saw God! The Holy Spirit is God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are different manifestations of the one triune God. "The Christian doctrine...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    Jesus made God visible. That means that Jesus and God were TWO separate entities. Jesus is not God and Jesus is not part of a Trinity. The Trinity is a man-made Christian doctrine which is false. Since no one has ever 'seen God' on that basis alone we know that Jesus cannot be God, since many...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    It is not a good idea to base doctrine on a single out-of-contest sentence. John 14:5-10, "Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    Don't bother to post verses from Paul, since I don't believe everything he said is true, and I do not believe that Jesus had any part in creating the world. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Jesus is not God so Jesus did not create the the heaven and earth. 1...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    I suggest that you read other versions besides the King James translation, as it is too easy to misinterpret what was written by viewing through "a 21st Century lens". Why do you think that verse 3 doesn't apply to the Word, when the previous two verses are clearly about the Word (Jesus)? Here...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    Since no one has ever 'seen God' on that basis alone we know that Jesus cannot be God, since many people saw Jesus. One would have to throw out most of the New Testament to maintain that Jesus is God, since many people saw Jesus in the NT. We also know that those who saw the face of Jesus...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    Below is my interpretation of those verses in John 1. John 1 King James Version (KJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made...
