    Here is more on the Holy Spirit from my friend: Because the Father operates in our reality through the beings which He inhabits, the Son is the visible image of the invisible God in our reality. The Son is our creator, our Lord and God in our reality, but the Father is the Lord and God of all...

    Concerning the Holy Spirit: God the Father has god-like qualities such as being everywhere at once, knows what everyone is thinking and feeling, can do anything including create out of nothing, knows everything including past, present, and future, has always existed, and can create realities in...

    My friend says: 1 John 4: 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. The Son (Christ) is the only begotten son of the Father. Christ was already the only begotten son of the Father before He was sent...

    According to my friend: In John 1: 1 we are taken to a beginning. There are only two beings there because creation has not started. One is the Father and the other is His Son. One has no beginning and the other one has to have a beginning in order for there to be a beginning. Why are the words...

    The word in the scripture is "all", not "new". I believe what it says. You can believe what you want it to say.

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    I agree with you. I would like to point out 1 Cor 13 which simply states that it doesn't matter what good works you do if you don't do it with love in your heart.

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    It was straight from Jesus' mouth that he was sent to call sinners to repentance. That means both Jews and Gentiles. Repentance for sins committed is what turns a sinner to God for forgiveness. When the gospel of Jesus' death for the forgiveness of sins committed is preached to him and he...

    You are mixing up "all creation" with "new creation". All creation includes animals, fish, insects, plants, all living creatures, spirits, angels, principalities, demons, and who knows what else.

    My friend says that you left out verse 15 which says, "Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation;" Christ is the image of the invisible God because the Father resides in the Son's being and the Son is perfectly obedient to the Father. The image is not the same as the...

    This is from Post #113 which you didn't read: My friend says that you don't have the correct understanding of Oneness. John 17: 20-23 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee...

    This kind of reminds me of the Democratic Party in the USA who deceive black voters into thinking that they are for them. Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination. The democratic Party...

    My friend gives a warning to all trinitarians. 2 Cor 11: 13-14 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. My friend believes that the Father is the almighty God of...

    Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord

    God does not judge what you do. He judges your heart. Jesus gave us his commandments which is to love God first and everyone else including ourselves second. You can know that you are saved when you find yourself loving everyone, including those that are against you and hate you. This kind of...

    From my friend: Heb 1: 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; It is the Father who is speaking to us through His Son. Christ was already the Father's Son before our reality was created and before he...

    Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; Does " the first-born of all creation " mean that out of all creation, he was the first one?

    According to my friend, Christ is the visible image of the invisible God because Christ is filled with the Father's Holy Spirit, which means that the Father is present in Christ's being. The Son is the temple of the Father, and that is how the Father operates in our reality and how the Son makes...

    According to my friend, in John 1: 18 the apostle John writes that no man has seen God at any time. Doesn't it contradict this scripture if Jesus is God, since Jesus was visible before and after his ministry? According to the council of Nicea in 325 AD Jesus was fully man and fully God. Were...

    Hello, Adstar. This is decipher replying. Actually, my friend is a family member. His understanding of the trinity does bring some clarity to scripture. He believes that the Father is the One invisible God. He believes that the Son is the image of the invisible God and that the image is not the...
