Yet Jesus is saying he's not God but is the Son.
So who shall we believe, Paul or Jesus..;)
Paul tells us many times Jesus showed Himself in Person to Paul and that Paul only wrote what Jesus told him to.

I don't see why Paul would lie.

So, by proxy, Jesus, through Paul, is calling Himself our GREAT GOD and SAVIOR!

Jesus asked Peter the same thing, and he answered-
“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.'
Jesus replied “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven" (Matthew 16:13-17)

See, Jesus didn't reply "Wrong, I AM God"..:)
Jesus did not ask Peter the same thing. After expounding upon His origins "from above" to
the Pharisees and scribes, He did not ask, Who do you say that I am? He simply told them they
would die in their sins if they did not believe He was Him Who was not of this world but from
above. What of coming from above? In your mind, is that the planet Kolob as the Mormons believe?
Or He was an angel as the JWs believe? <= More questions for you to skip over and ignore.


Following your line of reasoning, of Jesus denying His Own goodness, He has disqualified Himself
from being righteous and is therefore unworthy of being said to be without fault, blamelss, spotless,
etc. What is the point of believing in Him if He cannot reconcile us to God that we may escape the
second death and attain to life ever after? Do you also deny His virgin birth?

Exactly why do the 'Jesus was God' brigade
Correction: Jesus is God.

Personally I don't think God minds too much if some people think Jesus was God, and some don't.
LOL. What you think has been shown to be wrong multiple times. I would not bank on "what you think."

an old forum tactic when some entity does not want others to read something is to spam a tread with posts to hide other posts. if they can get people to engage that adds more posts to bury what they don't want read. seen it many times. sometimes the best that can be done is to not engage with them till they stop and go away.

Like I said, I've been forumming for 20 years and am used to all the little tricks people try to pull, even satan's tricks.
For example he's got some people believing that Jesus was God, thereby disrespecting and belittling God by suggesting he worked in a carpenters shop making tables and chairs instead of attending to the universe..:)

Let me cut to the chase- not only is it disrespectful to belittle the glorious majesty of God by suggesting he worked in a carpenters shop, but it's possibly also blasphemous, so be very careful, the naughty step...;)

Is God unable to construct a table and chair while He "tends to the universe"???

PS~ I have never claimed that Jesus was a carpenter...

People love ear tickling. Yeah, that's a Biblical truth. So you are good at it, huh? Not something to brag about.

11 million! Wow. You have a bigger following than Jesus did. No wonder you are proud...

No worries, it probably won't be long till you're banned here like all the other forums that banned you.

You should read Isaiah 53. He came to suffer in life. This is what qualified Him as our Savior and the Chosen of God.

According to you, Scripture is not inspired. So what do you base your knowledge of God upon?

Do you consider what you say to be Holy Spirit inspired? Even when you have been shown to be wrong?

In fact you have said things like, "I am sure of/that ..." and then you are proven to be wrong.

You should be questioning where your confidence lies at this point.

Despite the size of your following. Just think! Millions follow Satan, too.
