So you have a Modalist View? I don't accept this view for the following reasons:
Jesus speaks of fulfilling the Father’s will and following his commands.
In the beginning, Jesus (the Word) was there with God (the Father).
Jesus looked up and prayed to the Father.
Hi SLPCC,
Yes I do see that the Messiah was God. Because the fullness of the Godhead was dwelling in that body. He was the image (or the body) of the invisible God. Colossians 1:15
God is a Spirit. John 4:24
There is only one Spirit of God. Ephesians4:4
There is only ONE God - the...
One can also consider that God is above descent. That is meaning of the story of the virgin birth. The Holy Spirit is pre-existing, the Holy Spirit is "Christ", it is all we can know of God, but it does no define God, the Holy Spirit defined Jesus as the Christ ( Annointed One).
So even though...
In my view, there is no Trinity. There is no mention of it in the NT. The apostles never taught it. However John said even now are there many antichrists - they went out from us. 1 John 2:18-19 Some had gone out from the apostles and started teaching other things contrary to what the...
I read what I wrote and should have asked rhetorically "Was the pre human Jesus one of those things that have been created through the pre human Jesus?"
But putting that aside, I would have to say that I don't think God has 2 Spirits. There is one Spirit says Ephesians4:4.
In this one Spirit is...
My claim is that Jesus has the same nature as His Father but is the Son who is subject to His Father.
Equal in nature, and Jesus owns all that belongs to His Father (John 16:15) and as the Son who is exactly like His Father, He waits for the inheritance, which is His, to be bestowed on Him, and...
Again, as if all people in all the different religions believe the same thing. Here's what one Christian organization believes in. It contradicts Islam and the Baha'i Faith. They think they are close to God. What do you think? Are they, or are they spiritually dead and blind? And the same...
In my theology one will pass through the regime of the Son en route to the Father. But since faith in the unseen God is the only requirement for salvation, the father respects the "faintest flicker of faith".
"The farther down the scale of life we go, the more difficult it becomes to locate...
Hi Trailblazer. Good afternoon. I am also worried about the reduced standards of the people of the world in thinking that all religion has truth and that no one religion can be said to be the correct one. However, let's look at Ephesians 4 and see if what you have said is true. Ephesians 4 says...
No. This interpretation is out of context. Just one verse before (Ephesians 4:3) we can read that Paul is beseeching this community to endeavour "to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." It's about the unity of the Christians. Like Jesus prayed for disciples and all believers in...
Not really, it just means you misinterpret the verses
Again, misinterpreting God's words, that's all there is
Easy to prove even, but those who want to see their faith the only True faith will never see the truth
One Lord, One Faith, One God: The Exclusivity of Christianity
Open your Bible to Ephesians 4. And we have been in Ephesians 4 for a month, I think, but we finally have arrived at verses 4, 5, and 6. And this is a very, very important moment to stop and consider a far-reaching reality that is...
I think this is really important for others, especially for Baha'is to understand. It is compromising what the Scriptures of your religion say to "unite" and accept people from other religions. Now a liberal Christian wouldn't have a problem "compromising" some of the things taught in the Bible...
The Bible talks about not having fellowship with the unrighteousness not good people of other faiths. One cannot call infidels people of other faiths who believe in God.
Am I allowed, as one of Jehovah's Witnesses who identify as Christian?
Jehovah's Witnesses believe the Bible to be true, and thus that serves as a "measuring rod", since we believe it's God's word - the final say on God's view... and they wish to follow God's view, not their own opinion... or...
Welcome to God given Choice CG. Funny I was having some reflections in prayer this morning and had a thought to share with you, then low and behold you have the perfect post for that thought.
We can now view the World as a Whole and we can get information on all God given Faiths and explore the...
There is only 1 Body of Christ which is His Bride.
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
Ephesians 4:4-6 NKJV
Oh, ok, I see that, I was looking at vs.5.
verse 4 does say “one hope”… but notice the rest: it applies to “those called”. Is everyone called?
Jehovah’s love for people encompasses all those who don’t even serve Him, those who have been kept from knowing our Creator. (They’ve been misled...
