    What Trinitarian churches teach about the Trinity

    A TRUE GOD CANNOT become anything than what He IS. A true God is not changeable - cannot ‘Become’… is IMMUTABLE. Do you believe that Jesus is IMMUTABLE? Did Jesus ‘Become’ anything than what he always was: ‘I am he who WAS DEAD… BUT is NOW eternally alive!’ ‘After he had provided purification...

    What Trinitarian churches teach about the Trinity

    Here is my explanation and perspective… In the Godhead, as revealed in the scriptures, there is Person of the Father, the Person of the Son, and the Person of the Holy Spirit. All are co-eternal, co-equal and share equal glory, majesty and power. None is before or after another or greater or...

    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    Completely wrong. The Gospels don't even pretend to use sources. They literally say: " Gospels do not even explicitly claim Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John as their authors. Instead, the Gospels have an abnormal title convention, where they instead use the Greek preposition κατα, meaning...

    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    Interesting spin on pre-existence (reincarnated celestial being) and almost certainly a position held by gnostic Christians -- a pre-existence position very different than the one proposed in John 1 - and more like the Buddhist tradition .. which some have suggested of Jesus. Somewhat...

    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    A lot of this is probably true. Mark did use the Elisha story updated for Jesus. I don't know if we have any evidence of Jesus as a man. There is evidence he was a pre-existent celestial being. The first mention was Paul where he was already in spirit form but Philo mentioned a similar ac-angel...

    God is not a man

    What it DOES show, is that he prostrated in worship to the One G-d. The OT also talks about those that bow and prostrate in worship. i.e. It is not only in the Qur'an Well, that is a contradiction, isn't it. That is more or less saying that Jesus was "a lesser version of God". It also implies...

    God is not a man

    I I think people can do good things and be good sometimes, but never be completely good at all times, as Jesus, the Son of God is completely good. I’m not sure why you included the passage from Matthew, unless you mean to show that because Jesus fell on His face prostrated this somehow shows...

    One God or many gods

    Perhaps, it has something to do with the English language. In Bible speak, God and Lord are just titles. God YHWH makes Moses a 'god' to his brother Aaron - Exodus 7:1 Aaron was directed by Moses who was directed by God YHWH. God gave the authority from Moses to Aaron. So, in a sense...

    Jesus Failed Right?

    Worship Jesus but not as God ─ 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. Philippians 2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to...

    One God or many gods

    Acts 4:12 is in connection to Acts 10:43 about God's Son Jesus - Matthew 1:21 God is the One who gives Son Jesus a superior position - Philippians 2:9 But Not superior to God's position. Even the resurrected ascended-to-heaven Jesus still thinks he has a God over him. - Revelation 3:12 Jesus...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    Within the confines of what was then the Roman Empire, long before and during the dawn of Christianity, there were many dying-and-rising gods. And yes, they were gods—some even half-god, half-human, being of divine or magical parentage, just like Jesus (John 1:1-18; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke...

    Jesus is not God

    What are you talking about… your responses are getting even more diabolical (and what is the base meaning of DIABOLICAL!!) each time. I asked you what you meant by ‘the nature of God’ (or similar relating to ‘Nature of God’). But, as usual, you cannot answer because you do not know!! What you...

    Jesus is not God

    You're twisting Scuba Pete's Bible quote. The Bible doesn't say "in the nature of God". It says "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage" Philippians 2:6 Your "simple common sense" is getting in the way of true understanding...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Did Paul exalt Him higher than what He was, like saying he was equal to God? Though there is one spot that can be interpreted that way. There is another thing he seems to say to the contrary. 1 Corinthians 8:6 Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all...

    Jesus is not God

    Being ‘In the nature of God’ in no way means ‘IS GOD’… simple common-sense tells you that. ‘In the manner of God’ ‘Like God’ ‘Image of God’ … mimic, imitate, copy, … There is an original, and there ARE those who can be any or all of the terms stated above. But none of them ARE the original...

    Meeting with God, How is it possible?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palamism Addressing the question of how it is possible for man to have knowledge of a transcendent and unknowable God, Palamas drew a distinction between knowing God in his essence (Greek ousia) and knowing God in his energies (Greek energeiai). The divine energies...

    What is God's highest priority?

    I do not deny that Jesus came in the flesh. I believe that. I do not believe that the physical body of Jesus rose from the dead. If Jesus rose, He rose in a spiritual body. John 20:27 New International Version Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand...

    What is God's highest priority?

    I'm not sure how to answer this exactly, but I will always refer to scripture in doing so. The scriptures make it clear, that Jesus took on human form Philippians 2:6-11. I have already provided these scriptures. and in 2 John 1:7 John warns us to be careful of those who don't accept that...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Philippians 2:9-11 New International Version 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Don't get into competition, this is not meant to to be a competition. When @Trailblazer showed this passage: That City is none other than the Word of God revealed in every age and dispensation. In the days of Moses it was the Pentateuch; in the days of Jesus, the Gospel; in the days of...
