    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...

    What is God's highest priority?

    So is Baha'u'llah, they are both the Lord. God shone through both of them with absolute perfection. They command with the permission of God.

    What is God's highest priority?

    Are you sure you want to go down that road? The name of Jesus might have been above every other name when the New Testament was recorded, but time marches on. In God's Eyes, the name of Jesus is no longer above every other name. “They that valiantly labor in quest of God, will, when once...

    What is God's highest priority?

    That, with all due Respect is in direct opposition to the Word of God, and what I have provided already in previous posts.. Philippians 2:9-11 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a Name which is above every Name: (who did God give this exalted name to?) 10 That at the...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Baha'is believe in the virgin birth. "First regarding the birth of Jesus Christ. In light of what Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá have stated concerning this subject it is evident that Jesus came into this world through the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit, and that consequently His birth...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Obviously this is speaking of Someone other than the Father It is understood by Those in Judaism and Christianity that GOD IS SPIRIT. And as he said to Moses none can see him and Live. What is missed by those who still hold to Judaism and reject Jesus Christ is that God said thru the prophet...

    What is God's highest priority?

    I don't anything about Baha, please provide scriptures of his Eminent return that directly say God is sending another Messiah other than Jesus Christ. And I personally know of NO Christians who believe anything other name/Spirit/person than the promised Return Of Jesus Christ. ALL are hoping...

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    Besides the first Ten there is a number 11,12, 13, 14, etc. up to 600 plus. We can observe Jesus' New Commandment of John 13:34-35 to be willing to die for another - John 15:12-14; 1st John 3:16 Yes, personal responsibility as found at Philippians 2:12 B to work out one's salvation.........

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    The context is when The Word (Which was God) John 1 - emptied Himself of God attributes (Phil 2) - became man (john 1) to legally enter into this world (Gen 1) - to defeat death, hell and the grave and give authority back to man (Matt 28) - and in his human state - to receive back the glory that...

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    Sure .. a plausible explanation based on pre-existence .. and indeed Jesus always refers to God as someone other than himself but, what is the name of this God that we are to pray to "Hallowed be thy NAME" and such language matters .. while may mean nothint to modern day Christian .. it...

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    It's an interesting subject about Melchizedek. Reading more about this, Genesis 14 further says: "17After Abram returned from his victory over Kedorlaomer and all his allies, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley)." (More about Abram...and...

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    Thank you for your reply. I find at Hebrews 7:3 being in connection to Hebrews 7:1 Melchizedek. Melchizedek was both King and High Priest. There is No mention of Melchizedek's parents but we know he had parents. There is mention of Jesus' parents both heavenly and earthly. Thus, Jesus as Son of...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    Yes. It truly is wonderful to understand more about the Bible and Jesus. I would go to church, hear the sermons, but never understood why Jesus had to die. Now I do. It makes sense. Now. I do like the scripture very much where Jesus said "The Father is greater than I am." John 14:28 - "You...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    I understand a little, but I keep searching the scriptures until I can find agreement, if possible complete harmony trying to get God's Spirit inspired Direction and advice. Then most all the scriptures seem to make better sense. 1 Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the...
