How true!! The Pharisees didnt understand Jesus's words at all. They thought that if God was his father, then HE would have to be a God too. And they didnt like that. That's why in John he told them that... Dont you remember that we called YOUR forefathers Gods????..... Because they were...
I really not getting what your saying...
You say that Jesus is Yahweh, but then you spin around and say that he was with the father....
Well, what is it? Is he God and was he with God, cant have both..... It even sounds like even your confused on this matter.........
Doesnt scripture...
Jesus had to be the Son of God because no man left to himself had or could achieve spotless righteousness as required by God as the basis for forgiveness. Perfection was attained by Jesus because
1. he inherited from his father a unique capacity for spiritual things, and
2. he was given...
I disagree.
Even Peter reminds the brothers and sisters (or saints) in his book that they are special (Paul does the same). They are holy, they are called, etc, etc.
That you should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
For even hereunto...
Also keep in mind that if God is Jesus and if Jesus is God, we have many things that dont match and make sense.
Remember in Revelation that God "gave" Jesus that Revelation. Jesus never had until his father gave it to him.
Also Jesus told his disciples that only God knows certain things...
[I just understand that YHWH took on a fleshly body to sacrifice for our sins.]
Not true. Scripture does say that at all, only you...
But let me try to guess what your saying here...
YHWH left heaven and came down to earth, but on a mortal body, clothed himself with that. Which would make...
Yes... that's exactly what I was saying....
There is only one GOD, Yahweh.
But I"m not sure that your understanding what God or GOD means...... your looking at it different from the real meaning.
I understand that your very passionate to make Jesus God. I can see that. Even if you have to make up stuff.
But...
Jesus had every right to say that he was one with the father. And I and my Father are one. Jesus wants to be one with his Father in everything.
Dont we even say that me...
lol, if you say so.
First of all, who's Yahweh talking to? He's talking to Israel... why? And... at that time, he was the only Elohim.. That's the point he's trying to make...
Well.... yes and no....
God is written in a few different ways in the org. language.
GOD is the Yahweh name.
God is either EL, ELOAH or ELOHIM. ELOHIM is plural for ELOAH
EL is the power of YAHWEH. David uses that in Psalms
ELOAH - singifies Mighty One, one whose might is drived from...
First of all, your making Jesus God. So we need to stop right there. God's righteousness has to come first. I dont really think you understand the relationship between the father and the son is all about.
[How can someone really know the light, if they don't even know he is God?]
Who's...
It's talking about God, not Jesus yet. The light comes from God. Plus, we know that the world was made by God, not Jesus.
Jesus comes into play in verse 14...
I also know who the light is too.
Ok.... your confusing me about this Holy Spirit thing. It's almost like your talking about it like it's a person..... then you change it into something else. Not really sure where your going with this...
So how do you "receive" the Holy Spirit? Is it a person or a spirit of some sort...
Eternal life isnt guaranteed. Salvation is not unconditional, it is conditional. Paul even said that he didnt even know that he would have eternal life. But he did speak about the hope of eternal life. So what does it mean when it says that we are saved? Many times it says that we are...
[Even the Jews recognized what Jesus was saying, that He was God.]
Absolutely not!!!! That's what they throught! Jesus always corrected them on that too.
The Jews didnt understand Jesus and so with you too. Jesus never said that he was God, ever. The Jews didnt understand Jesus's...
