It will take a move of the Holy Spirit in order for one to understand this, as both verse 26 and verse 27 must be viewed together.Fromthebible.... Can you explain who the US and OUR are in the fallowing verse?
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Do you see that? God is expressing himself through Jesus can you see it in that verse " whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the father said unto me, so I speak." when God sent his Holy spirit into Jesus they became a dual being and God dwell in Him, look at the born again christians brother, when we receive the Holy spirit we are talking but the spirit is expressing itself through us we become a dual being our selves with the holy spirit Jesus also prayed a prayer for this to happen for us 11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. John 17:11John 12: vs 42-50
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees (ordained ministers of MAN lol) they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: (people loving their religions more than the WORD)
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth NOT on me, but on him that sent me.
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
And IF any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him NOT: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
He that rejecteth me, and recieveth not my words, has one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I HAVE NOT spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
And I know that his commandment IS life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
Amen, you're very wise in your understanding.Or possibly also not attaching it to God's requirements. I am sure any person willing to be led of the Holy Spirit would agree with you, as the bible is Holy Spirit inspired truth.
Just give it some thought...
In order for many of the views I've read in this thread to be true, God would have had to lie about the Holy Spirit, despite Almighty God saying he hates liars, and that he cannot lie.
God sent the angel Gabriel to announce to Mary the coming arrival of his son within her body. The angel Gabriel let Mary know that the Holy Ghost will come upon her, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow her. The angel Gabriel let Mary know that what shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)
At no other time in the Bible had Jesus' arrival ever been announced, nor had he ever previously existed. We have to be careful about assuming that types of shadows of one man are equivalent to a different man's direct appearance. If we're going to stand on a view based on our own understanding (one that is not explicitly stated in the Bible) we should be mindful in not attaching it to God's truth.
i will explain fully the scripture can't say one thing one way and mean something else it must say the same thing and it does, now in gen 1:26 we see that God is talking to someone but in order they have a next person with him someone had to be created before but where and when was this other person created we go to the first chapter of john to find out 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:1-2
we later found out that this word is Jesus and this chapter is saying that in the beginning( the very beginning of creation) was the word, and the word was with god, now the important part to BEGIN is the START of something like if a match is about to start the first word the beginning of the match the umpire would say play and is his first words, which is the beginning of the match now lets go to genesis to see what was this First word the beginning, what was the first word god said 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:1-4
that is the word there first thing that God said, do you see? does this make sense if you don't agree please show me why
So there are two Gods, if Jesus is God and he was with God, that is two.. so who are the two?
there you go again false accusations did i ever said HE ISN'T GOD? stop saying things i never said, it was God working in Jesus through the Holy spiritYou know what's interesting -- the notion is made that "Jesus had a beginning and is not God -- but Jesus is part of the Godhead" (according to Josh123). Doesn't this seem contradictory to anyone besides the few of us who have vocalized our opposition to this heresy? If Jesus is not God, then how is it we have grace at all?

lol.. i can only tell you what the scripture says and Jesus had a beginning God did not, you just can't understand it or seem to see what the scripture is sayingBy claiming Jesus was created, you are implying Jesus is not God. God has no beginning; therefore, by implying Jesus does have a beginning, you are guilty of heresy.

You know you are right, only a few of you have vocalised your opposition to the words of From the Bible, Josh or myself, and if I recall correctly only you have used the word heresy concerning their beliefs. Does this mean others are failing in their Christian duty to you?
You know, some of you have made a god out of you' man made doctrine/demands, and as the Pharisees did in Jesus day you have condemned the innocent. I'm afraid that some of you cannot comprehend the heart of the Gospel, you are devoured by studying doctrine. And it consumes you, it leaves no place for the heart of the message. And you study it because you revel in doing so, not out of love for God, and then you hurl your condemnations at others who have the biblical belief for salvation.
But as you say, only a few of you do this, the ordained ministers don't do it, neither would most of their congregations, but a few misguided people, who have never really understood the heart of the faith do
the truth just offended your beliefs and the others that's all i've proven my point with the scriptures and none of you have yet to do thatSo if God has no beginning, but you claim Jesus did, that means Jesus is not God in your view. I do not tolerate religious relativism, especially when it comes to the Holy Trinity. Someone needs to expose your lies, as it is obvious few of us are willing to do it. Some people have made numerous attempts to openly rebuke and exhort you, but you have refused to listen to reason.
You know what, I have already reported your heresy to the mods; however, it has become apparent they are going to allow this heresy to persist. No one is willing to listen to reason -- they are however willing to listen to this heresy. I hope you enjoy your forums. I am done with ChristianChat.Com.
