What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

[RLT63]

That’s alright. I’m 99.9% solid on where I am. That’s a very small window.

That's good. I don't have a denomination.

 

[TLHKAJ]

That’s alright. I’m 99.9% solid on where I am. That’s a very small window.

I'm 100% sure Jesus is who He/His Word says He is (God). Zero room for doubt.

So am I. That’s not where the 0.1% is.

 

[Matthias]

I do, but I believe Christians are where you find them. They’re scattered around the world and not confined to the denomination that issues my license.

 

[RLT63]

Which version says I will be what I will be?

I Am. H1961 - hāyâ - Strong's Hebrew Lexicon (kjv)

My license was with Baptists

Exodus 3:13-15....

Thanks. Very interesting. I don't find it all that different. I tried to check the Septuagint but I only have access to the original Greek version

I'm pretty sure that "man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".

Are not those two verses considered part of "every word", and as such "Scripture"? And is not "All Scripture...profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"?

I also wonder why most Christians world wide never graduate from the biblical subject. We do in all other subjects. But when it comes to the Bible we keep reading it over and over for years and years. I can't help but wonder could it be because most Christians cannot put it together to learn what it should teach us. Instead they think it's some book that we should worship instead of learning where we can go with the info. In the auto mechanic book we learn to fix cars. The doctors book teaches how to help the sick. They read the book once and study it for a bit and than often they are done with that book. Why is it the Christian is never done reading the book?

 

[Wrangler]

He asked for one verse. I have him 30.

The whole reason you have to throw so much at the wall, hoping something sticks, is precisely because no single verse contradicts ‘For us, there is one God, the Father.’ No one verse meets the standard of answering the question, of explaining why Jesus had to be God.

And by the way, I'm not defending Trinitarianism. I'm defending Christ's deity.

You are defending the heart of what is indefensible, at least from an explicit teaching to be found in Scripture.


For instance, there is no direct verse offsetting Mark 1:1, Jesus is the Son of God, by expressing the often claimed converse, God The Son. Do you ever wonder why Scripture is so direct and explicit that undermines the man-is-god thesis but only vaguely suggested in support?

Are you done with “the book”?

 

[Wrangler]

Why is it the Christian is never done reading the book?

Hebrews 4:12
New Living Translation

12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Why is it the Christian is never done reading the book?

“…he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left…” (Deuteronomy 17:18-20)

 

[Brakelite]

For us, there is one God, the Father.’

Won't try to contradict that verse. But you seem to have forgotten, that one God, the Father, had a Son. And not once have any of you attempted to identify who that Son was before the incarnation. Except Jane. Some say he didn't exist before the incarnation, but have to deny all the scriptures that declare Jesus as Creator. Others like Jane, say he was an angel. But none of you... Not one... Is willing to admit what the scripture actually says... That God sent His only begotten Son.

Because the more you learn the more you realize how little you know.

Extremely good question...preachers always answers it the same way:

"Can'st thou by searching find out God? Can'st thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is higher than heaven, what can'st thou do? Deeper than hell, what can'st thou know? The measure thereof is broader than the EArth and wider than the sea."​

Finite man can never fully grasp the infinite mind of God - therefore, His Word is an inexhaustible gold mine of precious revelation well able to keep busy for his lifetime any man willing to search and find out all he can.

Yeah well, I think a child can understand it. I know God and He would not make this thing difficult.

I don't get that. Seems like it would be going backwards.

I'm not Jewish nor do I study the old covenant

 

[Peterlag]

Are you done with “the book”?

Yes. I only look at it for teaching.
