I agree with confessing Jesus is God, that He died and rose again, that by believing in Him we have eternal life. Revelation 3:20 though... the context is the figurative door to the local 'small c' church. Have a look at the surrounding verses..'church ' here is in the context of the 7...

To be Son of God, for the Jews.. is making yourself equal with God. Child of God is different.. and this is probably more the case where those who arent Jesus are called sons of God. Son.. referring to Jesus.. isn't the meaning of a parent and child so much as Son as in 'image' 'expression '...

Sorry my post was a bit off. I needed to read your whole posts before picking up on a few key words. But I think I know why people lower Jesus' status now.

Yeah.. 'gods' when referring to people.. small g.. is about people given power to be magistrates, judges. From got questions.org: Psalm 82:1 says, “God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the gods.” It is clear from the next three verses that the word “gods” refers to...

Well this is just as I suspected. People thinking they have the mind of Christ.. or can be Jesus. The 'little gods ' doctrine from the likes of Benny Hinn and Co. So, of course Jesus can't be equal to the Father for them..because they think they can be Jesus. Oh well... up to them I guess.

Last time.. after saying the Father is greater He ascended to be one with the Father. No longer in a different position to the Father.. equal. Context again man... context.

Yes, He did receive authority from the Father.. but that doesn't make Him unequal or lesser. That is what the Pharisees and Scribes were picking up on. Anyway, going round in circles. Jesus is shown to be fully God all thru scripture. End of story

Accepting the Bible for what it says is putting things in their right context. For eg.. the Jews looking to stone Jesus for blasphemy.. the.way they look at someone doing something by another's authority/messaging.. the agent becomes equal in status to the originator. Another example...

I have no idea on Running man's actual type of christianity. He has Jesus pre-existing.. yet not God. How can that be? Pretty much all refs to God before the NT are of a fully God being. Anyway.. I don't post directly to him now.

Jesus in the flesh at the time from birth to death was still fully God. He was 'self limiting'.. rather than a lesser being to the Father and Holy Spirit Why? Because like I posted earlier, He could have called a legion of angels to Himself and prevented all the suffering that came to...

Distinct from the Father.. yes.. but actually seperate? I don't think so. The Spirit of God moved across the face of the waters in the beginning.. that's the Holy Spirit. That's not seperation.. but it is distinction. The Holy Spirit spoke to the churches in Revelation. This was also Jesus...

Yeah.. replacing the pagan festival with a christian one is a good thing. Although I guess the trouble being, the pagan part of it can be celebrated at the same time by those who oppose christianity.

If He is eternal, then He would have the authority aswell. Remember before the NT.. almost all reference to God are of a the fully God being.. and Jesus was around before the NT-- pre existing. He is no longer limited in any way.

Yes... although I don't believe He is seperated from the Father and Holy Spirit. In heaven-- one being, God. All 3 as full expressions of Him in that one being.

Yes, the Catholic Creed has Jesus as fully God, yet in this site there are some professing to be saved that lower Jesus status to lesser than the Father.

Jesus is fully God, sitting at the right hand of the Father. Sinless, omnipotent, omniscient, almighty, everlasting Father, Prince of peace, Wonderful Counsellor. No longer limited by the flesh. Existed before Abraham and uncreated. Can be offended by our sin, but has huge grave to stay...

Okay.. so this is another off shoot topic in defining the Trinity.. where Jesus becomes the whole Godhead. The issue with this is what you do with verses where Jesus talks to the Father and sends the Holy Spirit. I believe the 3 in the one Triune God are not seperate .. but they are...

Infiltrating the enemy :) I like it! Side note: of course there are saved people amongst these denominations, I'm just referring to enemy as the general agenda behind it.

I was baptised b as a teen in a charismatic methodist church. It was by immersion but that church had some weird teachings. In 2004 I started going to a church that was seriously biblical. They showed me in scripture of re-baptism. I wasn't sure if the first baptism counted, but got...

Maybe scared of running in with the societal law and so be PC for safety.
