Jesus said that if we have seen Him, we have seen the Father. Jesus is the exact image of His Father. Jesus is good, just as His Father is good. And what does that logically mean if we believe what Jesus said? He said only God is good.
In the OT we find God asking:
Isa 40:25 To whom then will...
In ancient times and even now in various cultures there are many gods and lords who are all worshipped.
For Christians there is one true God, the Father of Jesus who is in His Father, just as the Father is in Jesus.
When I worship the Father I am worshipping Jesus in the Father.
When I worship...
Yes Jesus said that He came from heaven.
John 6:37Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. 38For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me.
How can anyone be sent "from" God when God is...
I was raised a Catholic Trinitarian and am now a Protestant.
I started doubting the Trinity when looking at Jehovah's Witness teachings.
I came back to the Trinity after finding that the Jehovah's Witness teachings did not agree with the Bible.
John 2:18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,[c] and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But...
1Cor 15:42 It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. 43 Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in...
You do know that the Bible teaches that the resurrection body is immortal, it does not die again.
Jesus rising from the dead means that He rose in His resurrection body which does not die again.
He is not in the grave, He is not in Hades, He is alive in heaven in His immortal body.
One of the things I got from this Doctor is that the scare mongering about mass suicides without gender affirming treatment is not true in the experience of the countries who are winding it back.
Yes of course many people in the Bible believed in more than one God. I have never denied that. But the true is not about what people believed, it is about what God tells us and YHWH in the Bible tells us that He is the one true God.
That is a possibility which seems like it could be true but...
You can twist the clear meaning around with that verse but have not mentioned other verses I gave.
BTW Just because "God" is the closest word to "All things were made by him", that means nothing.
It's not a matter of interpretation, it is what the plain English translation says. Ask others what the meaning is. The meaning of John 1:3 and Col 1:15,16 is pretty much the same as that of the following verses.
Hebrews 1:1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many...
It's not about what you are willing to believe or not, it is about what the English translation is saying.
It was your mother who was an English teacher if I remember correctly, yet you don't seem to be able to understand English.
Again it is the same problem. I am talking about what the...
The support for the claim is the Bible, understanding the Bible so that all of it is true.
The Bible tells us that YHWH is Almighty God and that there are no Gods higher.
There is the one true God EL the Highest God, who is also YHWH, and there are others whose power is such that they are called gods by humans, but whose power is nothing compared to YHWH.
Satan is one of these gods.
The battle now is to win the hearts of humans to YHWH. This is something that is...
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He (the Word) was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him (the Word), and without him (the Word) was not any thing made that was made.
Everyone else in the universe can read it and...
The only true God is YHWH, the creator of all things.
Having powers above those of humans do not make for a true God but may mean that humans end up calling you a god.
So the confusion is thinking that all who are called gods in the Bible are true gods, when in reality they are gods only by...
