Yea, it must be hard when many there are many translations of the bible that say one thing and you and a few theologions have a different version of the bible.
John 20:26-28
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace be with you! 27 Then he said to Thomas, Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my...
The relevance is that once again the spirit is mentioned with the son. Just like the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. The Father's voice, the Son being baptized and the Spirit of God descending like a dove.
Acts 2:38
38 Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Do you believe the Holy Spirit is God?
Just because you state, "First and Last", unlike Alpha and Omega, can apply to more than one being. Jesus is the "Firstborn" and "Last Adam". Does not mean it is true. Why was Alpha and Omega used redundantly with the beginning and the end. Isn't Alpha the first letter and Omega the Last-can't...
I researched the above. It is hardly proof that the bible was altered or added. If it was we are going back to around AD 107. What else do you believe has been altered? or is it just Mathew 28?
As stated before, Jesus calls himself the first and the last Revelation 1:17. This has been used with the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. An example of Jesus and the Father being of the same nature.
This is how Jesus feels about it;
Mathew 28:16
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to...
OK... Is this redundant?
Revelation 21:5-7
5 And the One seated on the throne said: Look! I am making all things new. Also, he says: Write, because these words are faithful and true.6And he said to me: They have come to pass! I am the Al′pha and the O‧me′ga, the...
He is called a son for our sake. The same reason he became a man-for our sake. When we become his brother, we will gain His Father as our Father. Jesus lowered himself for us.
Again, you started this post with, do you believe God has a beginning. First means nothing existed before Jesus and last means nothing will exist after. Attributes of God.
I was answering your question, "do you believe God has a beginning?" Jesus said he is the alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end, the first and the last. Yes God and only God has this nature.
