    God is not a man

    Muffled, the Spirit of God dwells in those who truly believe in Him. It is His SPIRIT that dwells in such ones - not GOD Himself! God does not dwell in earthly bodies. But His SPIRIT can do so - which is how it came to dwell in Jesus Christ at his baptism at the river Jordan, and in the...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    Jesus never promised to return to earth, not once in the New Testament. Jesus said His work was finished here and He was no more in the world. That means that the return of Christ has to be another Person. John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I...

    If there is a life after death.....

    You can argue if you like that Jesus is God, but that would be in contrast to the direct clear truths stated in Scripture. Nothing in the Scriptures supports Jesus being God. The verses below explain why Jesus is not God, and why Jesus CANNOT be God. Jesus claimed to reveal God, Whom He called...

    Does the Apostle Paul claim that Jesus Christ, the holy anointed man, is Almighty God?

    ‘For God will send them a spirit of delusion so that they will believe the lie’… Scriptures must be fulfilled - but woe unto him whom it is given to cause it to be so… Their prize is to know they misled many but unknowingly they swallow a poisoned pill - the only remedy is REPENTANCE!!!

    Does the Apostle Paul claim that Jesus Christ, the holy anointed man, is Almighty God?

    Do you really think none of the theologians of the Christian church, over the last 2000 years, have been aware of these passages? Or are you alleging a grand conspiracy to pervert their true meaning?

    Does the Apostle Paul claim that Jesus Christ, the holy anointed man, is Almighty God?

    Trinitarians do not have a leg to stand on, because the Bible proves that Jesus is not God. Here are only a few of the verses I selected. Jesus claimed to reveal God, Whom He called Father, but Jesus differentiated Himself from God: John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself, even so...

    Antichrist and Surviving Strategies

    Any thoughts about what Jesus said at John 20:17 _______________________ To me Jesus is clear he was going to ascend (Not to himself ) but ascend to his Father and his God.- Hebrews 9:24 After all, the Father is Greater than His Son aka Jesus - John 14:28 According to John 16:28 Jesus was going...

    Atheists have faith.

    The Bible disagrees with you. Jesus Is Not God – Bible Verses Kermit Zarley Most Christians believe that Jesus was and is God. That is what the institutional church has taught. Christians professedly rely strongly on the Bible for this belief. Yet there is not a single verse in the Bible which...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    Luke 24:17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 “What things?” he...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    Praying to God… Yes, Jerry. We are to pray TO GOD; To the Father, through Jesus Christ. We are not called to pray TO JESUS. I would ask Brian2 if he can produce a verse or command to pray to Jesus: There is none! Jesus is the gatekeeper of our prayers TO GOD.. therefore Jesus - you rightly...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    I never said what might happen. What MIGHT HAVE happened is NOT the same as what HAD REALLY happened! Seems to me, you rejected Jesus’ words in Luke 24:39 which was AFTER his supposed crucifixion where he said he’s NOT DEAD because it does not agree with your own ideas of what had REALLY...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    I take the Bible literally where it can be done. In this case it can be taken literally if the angel (messenger) sent by God is actually God. Nobody has seen the Father, the one whom Jesus called the only true God, the one in whom is Jesus and the one who is one with Jesus, one thing. This...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    The problem with people like you and Dogknox20 is that YOU (and people like you) took the Bible LITERALLY! The Bible is clear that NO man CAN AND HAS LITERALLY seen God – “You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live.” – Exodus 33:20 “No one has seen God at any time. If we continue...

    Does God need excuses?

    Jesus said that because Jesus was a perfect mirror image of the Father but an image is not what it reflects. Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. No missing it. Jesus was not God. Jesus claimed to reveal God, Whom He called Father, but...

    YHWH: Worship ONE GOD, not MANY GODS. Worship Me, alone!

    There are no verses that say that Jesus is Yahweh nor even any that imply such. It is pointless to argue about something that IS NOT! But I do say, and scriptures says, that ‘YAHWEH’ is the personal, the proper name , the eternal name OF the deity whose TITLE is ‘GOD’ [of Abraham, Isaac, and...

    "What Jesus REALLY meant was ...."

    Excellent post, Trailblazer. How is it that with so many words and verses outlining exactly who Jesus is and who the Father is, and yet people reading the same words and verses still say Jesus is God… even when Jesus himself flatly denies saying that he was God or insinuating any such thing...

    "What Jesus REALLY meant was ...."

    You cannot avoid it. (Read all in context, of course). You can quibble about what these passages might mean, but there is a pattern here of that proves that Jesus was not God. Jesus claimed to reveal God, Whom He called Father, but Jesus differentiated Himself from God: John 5:26 For as the...

    What was the Death of Jesus about?

    WHY was it necessary for Jesus to die? To pay for the sins ( 1 timothy 2:1-6) of mankind world by fulfilling the (Matthew 5:17-20)Old Testament Law and Prophecy. So that now (in todays world) anyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ can become a child of God (John 1:12). Through the Lord...

    Jesus' Four Failed Prophecies About Him Returning In The Lifetimes Of His Apostles

    ************** Matthew 1:23 - “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be...
