Hello again Keris, thank you for telling us that (as short summaries of one's life go, that is one of the best that I've ever heard/read :giggle:(y)). I look forward to hearing more in the future. Also, if you have any prayer needs concerning your ministry to the Syrian refugees, or prayer...

Hello yet again @Keris, I usually listen to an online Christian teaching or two while I'm at the gym, and I did so again this evening. This particular one is the 10th in a 10-part teaching series by Dr. James Anderson called Exploring Islam, and message #10 is called "Sharing the Gospel with...

Hello again @Keris, I didn't notice which board we were on so I also thought that I should say, WECLOME TO CCHAT :giggle: God bless you!! ~David p.s. - BTW, I love Germany. What a BEAUTIFUL country :) 1 Thessalonians 5 23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and...

Hello @Keris, I don't have time to talk right now, but I thought that you might find this useful (as I have), especially since you mentioned witnessing to unsaved family members and friends. BTW, it's only $4 on Kindle right now :) The description is from Amazon, just FYI. Tactics, 10th...

Hello again Jacob, what is it that you believe in then, in specific regard to the Son and the Holy Spirit? Who do you believe that they are/what kind of beings or Beings are they (both individually, as well as in relation to the Father) :unsure: Here, for instance, are all Three Persons/Members...

What did you mean then :unsure: Please elaborate (as time allows). Thanks :)

The NASB (my go-to translation, as well) doesn't translate "Theotes" as such, but a number of other translations do. For instance (in the verse that you have just been referring to above), Colossians 2 (NKJV) (+KJV; ASV; Amplified; CSB; HCSB; Douay-Rheims; ERV; LSV; YLT, etc.) 9 In Him dwells...

Both "Elohiym"/God and "Theotes"/Godhead are used in the Scriptures, so I see no reason to use the word "Elohiym" instead of/as a replacement for the word "Godhead" (unless I am misunderstanding what you are asking me, that is :unsure:). If so, please let me know. Thanks :) --David

Hello again Jacob, that is true :) Here's another, somewhat "off the beaten path" passage that, in a very real sense, "shows" us who the Lord Jesus actually is, a fact that is confirmed for us by the Apostle in John 12 (specifically, John 12:41). Isaiah 6 1 In the year of King...

Hello Jacob, as far as your purpose in this thread to establish the Trinity (or not), no, these various titles all point to the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (even His title, the "Son of God", does, as well, as the Pharisees and the Scribes make clear for us .. e.g. John 10:32-33). Yes...

And you too Jacob :) If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "sanctified" in this case (like most words, sanctified has more than one meaning, even in the Bible). Thanks! I ask because having a mutual understanding of the terminology that we're using is (obviously) extremely important...

Hello @JacobMartinMertens, I hope that you will find these short articles to be both informative and useful (and that they will help you at least begin to find the answers that you are looking for). If the article happens to include a video, the article text and the video text are always...

Save "The Great Schism" in 1054 AD, yes :unsure: Thanks!! ~Deuteronomy (David)

Hello Truthnightmare, do you mean prior to His ministry years :unsure: (as those three years in public ministry seem very well-documented, and a journey of about 14,000 miles on foot would have certainly been both noticed and documented). Also, the Lord Jesus told us who He was sent here to...

Hello Mary, I've found that most hear a portion of what I'm saying to them (about the Lord Jesus/the Gospel), and they react to it in various ways, but having someone truly listen to and engage with what I'm saying is rare (sadly). Then again, it took me 30 years and two months to finally...

Hello Awelight, I agree, and what you just said also reminded me of the following verse (which is a favorite of mine, a verse that I've never thought of in reference to John 21:25, but in a sense anyway, it does seem to fit). Deuteronomy 29 29 The secret things belong to the LORD our...

I meant to point out (in my last post) that in the above example, that while God continues to forgive the sins of Christians, that Christians need to continue to confess their sins to Him as well (as the above excerpt from the Westminster Confession of Faith points out). See the second phrase in...

Hello @Chester, et al, the elder Apostle John (who, BTW, includes himself in the "we", "our" and "us" of the following verse) spoke of the Christian's ongoing need to confess our sins whenever we commit them (as ὁμολογέω/confess is in the present tense). 1 John 1 9 If we confess our...
