Fully God or just a perfect reflection of God? To mere mortals, not much difference.
But Jesus sure seems to be presented as being more than just a reflection of God. So I can't blame Christians for assuming he was God.
Where does the Bible agree with it? You think Colossians 2:9 does?
But, I'm...
The Bible agrees with the Sun and Mirror analogy.
Some people are just yet to accept that this simple explanation and does contains all the wisdom.
No need to say more than that.

The Bible disagrees with you.

He was both God’s Son (John 3:16) and God Himself—God in human flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). Yes, He was fully man, but He was also fully God (Colossians 2:9).
We do know that Jesus said He existed before Abraham...

“And the Lord said to Michael, “Go, and extract Enoch* from [his] earthly clothing. And anoint him with my delightful oil, and put him into the clothes of my glory*. 9 And so Michael did, just as the Lord had said to him. He anointed me and he clothed me. ...10 And I looked at...
I mentioned the “ancient” Jews....before the sects of the Pharisees and Sadducees were formed....or did you think they were sectarian from the start? That is not how God operates. Sectarianism is how humans operate. (1 Corinthians 1:10) Look at Christendom! Where is the unity?
The history of...
Hey Deeje! Thanks for your thoughts! Actually ancient Jews were very divided in the theology of resurrection and afterlife. The saducces and the pharisees were a product of that difference who have debated with Christ many times on the subject. These divisions came from interpretations of the...
Hi @calm
While I do not understand your usage of the word "soul", I think that your use of the early Judeo-Christian interpretation of death as a separation of Body and spirit is more rational and logical than the later interpretations of the more modern Christian movements that abandoned that...
According to Moses, the authority on the creation of man, man BECAME a living soul, he was NOT given a living soul.
May i suggest you study the Hebrew Scriptures rather than the teaching of sectarian groups>
The Immortal Soul of Man has logically existed since the creation of man.
I do not deny that Jesus was raised from the dead. Jesus was in the realm of the dead(sheol) (1Samuel2:6)(Numbers 16:30), the realm of the dead consists of two sides: hell and paradise (Luke 16:19-31) and Jesus was in...
Or you could just say the Lord killed the one woman but not the other yet. Everybody is going to die then the Lord will raise them from the dead.
1Samuel2:6
"The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.

So if you, I or anyone else we know back then just happens to touch the arc we die. That sounds pretty unapproachable to me.
I probably should have been clearer in stating how I was the parallelism and contrast at 1Timothy 6:13-16. Compare all the machinations and convolutions to approach the...
1. This is a pastoral epistle. The difference between the two is precisely what Paul is attempting to teach young Pastor Timothy.
2. It's actually more consistent to say the Father gave life to all things, which would imply He also gave life to Christ. The Father, together with Christ, gave...
Not actually. I see any distinction between God, who we cannot see, and Christ, who we can.
I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t see this as referring exclusively to the personage of the Father. This passage simply says “I charge you before God who gives life to all things...”...
No the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not the same.
Stop this spam of verse and number - without posting the verse and showing the proof that it actually says what you say it says, so I can disprove it - before we move on to the next few.
I am not going to waste my time looking all of those...
The trinity The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit are all called the exact same thing. All have the attributes of God and do the actions of God. If you have all the attributes of God and do what God does, then your God. No getting around it. Here's the scriptural proof.
A Comparison of YHWY...
I see your confusion--In the real Hebrew bible--I am is not the statement made in the ot--I shall prove to be what I shall prove to be is the correct statement made. Trinity error--there are many.
The reason that Jesus is called the majority of the things the Father( Jehovah) is called is...
Your right I guess all these scriptures are wrong... :p
