    Holes in the trinity

    God lowered Himself to dwell in time for our salvation and to draw man to Himself. Who do you say that Jesus is?

    Holes in the trinity

    If Jesus was declaring to be A divine being than he was being blasphemous. Knowing his works and his nature I know the he would not be blasphemous. The liar, lunatic, or God argument applies here.

    Holes in the trinity

    Ok. Thank you for the information on the original text. so Jesus said before Abraham was, I am he. or I am And the man answered the question, Is this the man that was born blind? I am he or I am. Two completely different contexts and different meanings, not the same.

    Holes in the trinity

    If you serve one you serve all three. What faith believes the trinity is three separate Gods? I do not know of any.

    Holes in the trinity

    Actually the the begger says, I am the man or I am he depending on the translation. A direct answer to the question if this is the same man that was born blind. Every translation has Jesus saying, 'I am.' Look even at your version above. I have been and I shall be = I AM

    In exodus 3 When Moses asked God what should I tell the Israelites what your name is. God said I am who I am. Jesus said before abraham was, I am.

    Holes in the trinity

    Jesus did not know everything when he was on earth. He emptied Himself and took the form of man. With that he had to learn to speak, walk, learn about God etc. However, His knowledge was the knowledge of God. Jesus stated, "...before Abraham was, I AM.

    I never heard of the above. It is not the Genesis I know. Where did it come from?

    Holes in the trinity

    No, He is serving the right God. The Israelites were serving the same God as the Trinity. The Father is fully God. The knowledge of the Trinity was not fully revealed yet. There is a clue to it however in Genesis when God refers to Himself in the plural. Genesis 1:26 Let us make man....

    Holes in the trinity

    God is fully present in essence/nature/substance in three 'persons' There is a difference between person and nature. The person is who they are. Nature is the characteristics, essence and will of what the person does. The three persons of the trinity are one because their will, their...

    Incarnation question.

    To say that God could not be incarnate and remain limitless is a statement that puts a limit on what God can do. We are used to this world that is finite. If God is infinite, that means he can be fully present in Jesus and also fully present in the Father and in the Holy Spirit. If Jesus...

    Christian Love and Buddhist Compassion

    Love and compassion have only one source, God. Christian love and Budhist compassion do not compete. We are just channels of God's love and compassion. The more we give, the more we receive from the one true source. Human language and theology are just tools to help us understand God, but...

    Mathew takes Isaiah Chapter 7 way out of context

    Mathew was writing to the Jews and Mathew may have been Jewish himself. The people of the time knew scripture very well and your above statements would have been even more apparent at the time. The main purpose of Mathew's writing was to tell the Jews that Jesus has come to fulfill even more...

    Holes in the trinity

    Would Jesus, being fully human walk around saying I am God, worship me? Is that an example of how a man should live? Would people respond well to that? Would that be a good example of humility and obedience? You were given multiple examples of clues and direct language of His divinity. Every...

    Holes in the trinity

    Mathew commissioned the apostles to baptize in the nam of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Mathew and Luke ended with the ascension of jesus. All the same Jesus. All the same God. I have difficulty debating because the words I read you claim are false and you bring up other words which you pull...

    Holes in the trinity

    The inconvenient fact is that your version of the bible doesnt exist. If you can interpret the original so well, why don't you write a new one. Then I will read it and then we can discuss. Jesus didnt come here for the biblical scholar, and I doubt he woul only reveal the truth to thos...

    Holes in the trinity

    Logic tells me that I have to rely on my faith in the sacred tradition and scripture of the catholic church. Not a version of the bible that I do not have and I can not read. Jesus` actions are the actions of God in all the gospels. Raising a man from the dead, healing a man born blind the...
