Exactly. Just like the Holy Scriptures have been diluted because of too much changes. Too many liberal "christians" and liberal professors claiming and teaching that God's word is not completely inspired or inerrant and thus have paved the way to younger people and unbelievers buying into this lie.
But God's written word does remain in harmony with God the Father and God the Son being the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. I am familiar with the NWT. John 1 was changed to make Jesus into "a god."
Christ, during his earthy ministry, did not SEEK worship because he came as...
John 1:14 tells us that Jesus was ALREADY the word by the time he became flesh. Who was it that became flesh to dwell among us? the only begotten of the Father. Jesus existed in the beginning with God, and not just existing with God, but Jesus was God in the beginning! He is still God today...
Ok, this is where I am confused. Does Mormonism teach that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ started out as men like us and then through obedience had progressed to godhood? If so, then wouldn't this make Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ 2 separate gods?
Jesus was referring to the first and last people to have their blood shed as listed in the OT Jewish canon. Obviously, Jesus knew of the Apocrypha and was not including it in his reference.
Anyway we can ride this merry-go-round for ever. I believe in the complete inspiration of the Holy...
Jesus referenced the Jewish OT canon from the beginning to the end and did not include the Apocrypha in his reference. "From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation," (Luke...
To do whatever one believes is best is the very reason why we have many false religious groups and even some false teachings among christian groups. As Christians, we need to have a sole standard of Truth whereby we can test all things to see if they are of God or not. The noble Bereans didn't...
Yes, Christ should be worshiped. The angels worshiped him and every one will confess him as LORD in the end. King David was not worshiped in the same way. That would be blasphemy.
If you wish to believe the Holy Scriptures are incomplete and that man has the power to usurp God, then that is your prerogative. I firmly believe that how one views and treats God's Word is how one views and treats God. You and I will have to agree to disagree.
I wish you well.
It is difficult to respond to a post that makes unqualified statements. No, I never said I trust any "authorities". This would be like saying man is more powerful than God.
Do you realize that this demonstrates a lack of faith and trust in God to preserve His word? Since the Bible is by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we do not need to worry about manuscripts and "lost books." God is in control.
The Book of Enoch has been proven to be a forgery. It contradicts...
The whole creation was resurrected with Jesus? We have yet to be resurrected. Are you saying that you believe in universalism, that all will be saved in the end?
We see the concept for the Trinity throughout the Holy Scriptures. Nowhere does it teach that God "created" Jesus Christ. (John 1)
How can we say God was before the "beginning" when God is outside of time and nothing precedes God. Read Genesis 1: "In the beginning God..."
How can Christ be the...
These so called "lost books" were known by the Jews in OT times as well as by Christians in the NT. They were not considered inspired Scripture.
God obviously did not intend certain works to be preserved, because His hand would have guided their perpetuation, just as He guided the...
