would like you to respond to scripture please. So why on the basis of this verse do you deny that Jesus was God on earth?
"For in Jesus dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2:9
Absolutely, the Holy Spirit fully resides in the body of Christ
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED ON in the world, RECEIVED UP into glory." 1 Timothy 3:16
Yes, absolutely, the Holy Spirit was on Christ in BODILY SHAPE/FORM when he walked this earth, the Spirit of God's prescence
"But unto the SON he saith, 'Thy throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom'...And, 'Thou, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands.'" Hebrews 1:8, 10
I wonder why you left out verse 9
[SUP] [/SUP]But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. [SUP]9 [/SUP]Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
"I and my Father are ONE." Jesus Christ, John 10:30
'That they(the believers) may be one AS we are one John17:22
So can you be another believer and them you? Can three believers make up one stool by each being a leg? Or do you remain three individual people?
That they may be one AS we are one
How can you be as one with another believer?
Only in the Spirit, but you remain two individual people
That they may be one AS we are one
"... feed the church of GOD, which HE hath purchased with his OWN BLOOD." Acts 20:28
[SUP] [/SUP]Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he(Christ) hath purchased with his own blood.
God is Spirit, he has never been seen at anytime(1John4:12)
Continuing on
[SUP]29 [/SUP]For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

I would like you to tell me by what authority you can state a person is a heretic, damned and will go to hell for standing on the plain words of Christ when he walked this earth?
"Hereby perceive we the love of GOD, because HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE for us...1 John 3:16
"Hereby perceive we the love of GOD, because HE(Christ) LAID DOWN HIS LIFE for us...
"For unto us A CHILD IS BORN, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
Yes, Christ is
mighty God, but:
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows
He called them gods to whom the word of God came(John10:35)
How many people do you believe are God?
And Christ is the everlasting Father of the new covernant as Paul tells us Abraham is our Father in relation to faith
Is Abraham therefore God too?
Now lets see if you will answer me one question only
You believe if a person does not accept Christ is God Himself thery are a heretic and condemned.
As I assume you believe it is a ministers absolute responsibility to preach plainly from the pulpit what is and what is not acceptable belief as to who Christ is for a person to inherit eternal life and the consequencews of getting it wrong
Do you condemn as unfit to be a minister, any preacher who will not plainly state from the pulpit, that if a person believes Jesus is the Son of God but not God Himself they cannot be savede with that belief, are a heretic, condemned, and will go hell with tha belief
I have only asked you to answer one question, I have responded to many of your questions, if you do not forthrightly respond to my question, but just keep asking me more questions, do not expect a response.
