    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    Interesting spin on pre-existence (reincarnated celestial being) and almost certainly a position held by gnostic Christians -- a pre-existence position very different than the one proposed in John 1 - and more like the Buddhist tradition .. which some have suggested of Jesus. Somewhat...

    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    A lot of this is probably true. Mark did use the Elisha story updated for Jesus. I don't know if we have any evidence of Jesus as a man. There is evidence he was a pre-existent celestial being. The first mention was Paul where he was already in spirit form but Philo mentioned a similar ac-angel...

    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...

    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...

    “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”

    Paul's Jesus (like John's but not like the synoptic Jesuses) pre-existed in heaven with God. Since Paul (and the author of John) make it clear that Jesus denies he's God and makes no claim of that kind, I'd say this means, existed in heaven with God. Did not challenge God's authority. But put...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    ”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ ”He is the image...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    As a Christian, I believe this to be true from the Scriptures: ”Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness...

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    Yokefellow, i was going to reply to all of your original post on this thread, however, after reading through some of the posts above, its pointless. Whether or not you are willing to accept my criticism or not, your entire theology in this thread is deeply deficient in the presumptions that it...

    For trinity believers: Does your world come unravelled if Jesus is not God,but ONLY Gods Son?

    Yet Jesus Christ emptied Himself and became a man, and yes Jesus Christ does possess all the attributes of the Father, so does the Holy Spirit. ”Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made...

    Ends in 50 Years

    I’d say whether you or I asked to be created is irrelevant if an all-powerful Being decided to create us. I’m not sure where you come up with the ideas that God wants groveling, begging, etc., but I think you’re mistaken. But if God is Love, as the scriptures say, and this Being provides...

    What does God want from you?

    Ok, Good answer but I have questions. Is this an Intelligence way of doing things? Will playing favorites really bring the best results? What are you teaching the kiddies by playing favorites? What talents will be missing that simply obedience children might be missing? Are these actions of a...

    What does God want from you?

    Hi Bird 123. Good afternoon. Yahweh is a spirit being. In order to reproduce Himself, He doesn't have sex like humans do, He takes a person, teaches them how to think and act like Him, and then they practice living that way of life until they do live like He does. A people must prove themselves...

    Was Jesus Christ Born a Christian?

    He was born as the Christ and was sent from heaven as the Christ. He knew when He was 12 years old, that He had been sent by God. (Luke 2: 42-51) Jesus knew He was coming to earth and it seems He had to adjust His behaviour while a human to do the will of His Father. He humbled Himself and was...

    I and the father are one.

    Did you not read the context: 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    we must disagree with that assessment. "of God forsaking the son", this is bared out in Isaiah chapter 59, read this chapter good. the word forsaking, (forsook), means leave, the present of the Father in that body came out of the son, because the sins of the whole world will be laid on him...

    What is Faith?

    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...
