    Jesus is God

    The Spirit took you aside? And that same Spirit was sent by Jesus .. as the Comforter according to scripture. Well.. Jesus had the power to send the Holy Spirit.. that's God's power. Jesus being God.. is not the doctrine of men. There is clear and plain scripture that declares Jesus was God...

    Jesus is God

    If Jesus pre-existed before Abraham.. and Abraham rejoiced to see Jesus' day, then Jesus is putting Himself on equal footing with God the Father. Jesus saying 'I AM' .. the context around it makes Him fully God anyway. What pre-existing being in the OT that is with the Father.. isn't fully...

    Jesus is God

    Mortal men.. cannot be equal with God. Even when believers die and go to heaven.. we won't be equal with Him. We will be without sin.. but not at His level. He will be the Head of the New Jerusalem.. and we His children.. but not the same. Not the same essence/substance. A place in heaven...

    Jesus is God

    Well thank you for posting. Have a read of the verses The Learner posted up. There are many. They show Jesus to be fully God. You would know the Jewish concept of agency. Jesus did things 'by the hand of the Father' and said 'I and the Father are one' and 'I am in the Father and the...

    Thank you SirLOL for sharing. I've worked as a mental health support worker and have battled with anxiety and low mood in the past. Counseling, mindfulness exercises, psychology theories... haven't had a lasting affect in giving deep peace. They are usually not rooted deeply enough in...

    Jesus is God

    Oh.. also.. rebuking Satan in the name of Jesus? How can you do that if Jesus isn't God. How does Jesus' name hold power over Satan if He isn't God? Maybe you see Him as a 'lesser god'? Well.. Satan wouldn't have a problem with that.. and would probably actually have that kind of being as...

    Jesus is God

    Interesting... 3rd eye? Well that's New Age stuff.. so that's a funny thing to mention. You mention humans being confused.. you must be also a human? And also then confused? Jesus created? He was in the beginning with God as the Word and all thing were created thru Him according to...

    What Describes You Best?

    Yes.. I'm not in either camp here. Synergism... the saved person definitely IS going to persevere to the end or they were never saved. Same with monergism. A saved person can get caught up.in the world. Doesn't mean they lose salvation or never had it. Works have zero to do with receiving...

    What Describes You Best?

    Ah I found out pelegianism is nothing to do with calvinism. It messes with original sin.. so I can't agree with pelegianism either.

    What Describes You Best?

    I have no idea what pelagian is. I'm not arminian either. If arminian means salvation is by grace thru faith I can agree with it.. but usually it means this salvation even though eternal.. can be lossed. I don't agree with it being able to be lossed, nor that someone can leave God...

    Jesus is God

    To a degree.. but He would always do the will of the Father. Bound to it perfectly.

    Does God desire the salvation of all mankind?

    I think Forest green would have believed in Jesus as God..that He died and rose again etc... But I think he says he was saved before that happened. So I wouldn't say he doesn't have the Holy Spirit indwelling his soul. I wouldn't agree with being saved before belief.. but if he did believe...

    Seek Out Which Is More Valuable

    Fair enough:) I'm just saying I can't see into the state of the guys soul. Plus he is my cousin..so i know him well that's why I'm being hesitant in saying he is unsaved.

    Seek Out Which Is More Valuable

    Believing in Jesus in my understanding would include accepting Christ as Saviour and confessing sins. Romans 10:9-10. John 3:16. So I do question this guys salvation, but I don't know for sure. People can be saved and then become deceived afterwards. Get taught the wrong things. I...

    Jesus is God

    On the Jewish law of agency I was mentioning: from https://thehumanjesus.org/2017/04/09/shaliah-the-law-of-agency/ The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion, R.J.Z. Werblowsky, G. Wigoder, 1986, p. 15. “Agent (Heb. Shaliah): The main point of the Jewish law of agency is expressed in the dictum...

    Seek Out Which Is More Valuable

    I know some one who is a poster boy for the lgbtq movement. He says he believes in Jesus.. accepts teachings about Him (in some way). But he believed he can get revelation from God that can contradict scripture. If he has genuinely believed in Jesus at some point I can't say he is unsaved...

    Jesus is God

    I understand we can forgive someone who has trespassed against us. But what a person can't do is forgive sin of someone who hasn't directly offended them. So if jo blogs hurt me by stealing something of mine.. I could forgive Jo because he is very poor and needs the item. A group can...
