The problem could be on your end of the connection, but my posts take a long time to post also.
However you know that Jesus was speaking to His disciples of 2000 years ago, the ones to know Jesus had spoken and so could be reminded of what He had said to them. IOW the Comforter is the Holy...
If this forum doesn't stop hanging up I'll be gone too. I don't have all of eternity to wait for every post I post!
I think you need to look at John 16 in context in order to understand what it means.
John 16
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit...
"18 Yahweh will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,a]">[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble...
Genesis 12:3 --- All peoples on earth will be blessed through Abraham.
Genesis 22:18 --- All nations on earth will be blessed through Abraham’s offspring.
Psalms 22:27 --- All the ends of the earth and all the families of the nations will acknowledge God.
Psalms 65:2 --- All men will come to...
sons of gods. jesus is just one of infinite number. son means begotten. all are begotten of god based on genesis 1 and john 1.
son is the whole of what is formed, or created. it isn't a single individual because god isn't a person.
i keep telling you the definition and understanding of words...
That would mean that they belong to Son and the Father imo.
They have been redeemed from the earth (Rev 14:3) and all Christians have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, which means they have been bought by the blood and so we are not our own but belong to the one who bought us. (Acts 17:11...
melchizedek wasn't levitical, nor was he even an israelite.
how do you suppose jesus made the claim that abraham was glad to see his day?
john 8:56
we're all more than just human. but the name adam is used and not jesus to make a direct connection to him who fell and drew others down with...
I understand it as speaking of Jesus not being a Levitical priest but being a priest of God Most High still, as Melchizedek was.
I understand 1Cor 15:45 as being about Jesus being more than a man and when He rose from the dead, while He was still a resurrected man, He also willed the whole...
Are you sure Psalm 89:27 is about Jesus??
Perhaps you should read from verse 20 to understand the context –
"I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him. 21 My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.22 The enemy will not get the better of him; the...
Yes Jesus is still a man but as I said Jesus is also more than a man and when resurrected He went back to doing what He did before becoming a man (Ephesians4:10) as well as what He is doing as the resurrected Son of God, the man who is given the throne of David and is God's firstborn (Psalm...

I thought He did:
Ephesians4:10-12
English Standard Version
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work...
That’s a lot of writing only to be wrong about it all.
Jesus is not the spirit of God.
Jesus was ANOINTED WITH the Spirit of God (Acts 10:37-38)… and as such, he, Jesus was ‘FILLED WITH THE FULLNESS OF GOD’…
The Apostles were likewise filled with the POWER OF GOD; the Holy Spirit of God...
Jesus is not just the physical body that died. (hebrews 10:5) As you noted; according to the scriptures we are all body, soul and spirit. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Jesus was special in that the Spirit of Jesus is the Spirit of God. Whereas we have our own human spirits. His was the Spirit of God...
I don't know what you mean by Jehovah speaking to the Israelites at Isa 44:24. Does that make a difference? Is Jehovah was alone then then He was alone.
There is nothing in the passage about anyone else being there and the passage denies that. There is nothing there about Jehovah being the...
I have not thought of Jesus as the mediator between God and man for the OT people also.
Certainly in the New Covenant He is the priest that takes the place of the Levites and all their animal sacrifices and Christians can come to the Father with confidence that we are accepted at any time, as...
Still doesn't say that Jesus will judge or knows the day of judgment.
I see this Trinity business like this:
It was firstly a political thing, a compromise that Constantine personally made to
stop doctrinal feuding. Constantine, BTW, was the Herod of his day.
Questions of Trinity probably...
Yes, those were the days when he was in the world, in the flesh, born a mortal human being. At the time He said that; but after the resurrection He said "all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth"
So if you have all power that leaves nothing left. So he knows everything. For example...
The idea that the Christ went to a place that doesn't exist is unfounded, except by some bible translators, who believed in the concept of a hell…This is exemplified by the verses in Ephesians 4:9-10 being in parenthesis, in several bible translations. Which, should only be a clarification of...
If you study the biblical account, He went in the helish places and beyond all heavens, not just in heavens, beyond all of them. Many say Christ was just the Son of God but can the Son of God go beyond the heavens where God has His resting place? It makes no sense, clearly, there is something...
