    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Most people believe God only speaks to them through the bible, and it only. Which is far from the truth.

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @Johann, I don't believe in universalism. I do believe in Yahavah, who is able to speak to people by and through their every day life.

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @David in NJ, Salvation has been made available to all people, and Yahavah speaks through his creation itself, and people out there can say to themselves "there must be someone that is higher than me, who is true, and is good, and is loving." If you want me to gather that scripture for...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @David in NJ, I don't always have to include scripture to make my case. Many people worship the Bible way too much to believe that Yahavah is actually able to reach people in different places on earth, writing his law on the hearts and minds of people who seek him. It is after all, the...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @David in NJ, The reason for these are based on a few scriptures. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ A choice to diligently seek...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @Johann, I personally do not believe that is the main issue of Christianity. I believe that the issue is with faith and love. That of course is subjectively seen as an issue personally by me. God being in the Messiah is something faithfully believed. I believe that the Word of God was...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @David in NJ, Good morning. Yahavah is amazing, and I'm thankful for the Lord Yeshua and what has been done for the whole world. 2 Corinthians 5:19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @David in NJ, I just listen to what Jesus taught and stated, concerning worshipping his Father in spirit and truth. All the other work around with the trinity and what not are things I simply do not buy into. If you believe what I am stating wrong, you can just say I am wrong that would...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @JLB, It makes me wonder how many times was it God speaking through his Word, and how many times was it the Word of God, speaking through Jesus. It's perplexing. Because Jesus was made a human being, while being indwelled by the Word of God, he was still human being through a divine being...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @JLB He was claiming to be the voice of God, or the Word of God; which he was. When Jesus said "I am." The Word of God, was manifested in the Flesh. Jesus was the Word of God, made born of spirit and flesh. Jesus was the Word of God incarnate in the flesh.

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @amigo de christo Does that mean people who teach to hate other people, and look down on others? Are those the things that Jesus taught? Can you teach me some of the things this false Jesus, and false God would lead for a person to do? To not be merciful, to not be forgiving? Philippians...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    Hello @amigo de christo , Who is the other Jesus, and the other god? What are they all about?

    God Made Jesus, born of the Flesh and Spirit, whom was the Word of God.

    Did you know? God made Jesus. His Word was in the beginning with him. Jesus was made sin, and he was sinless. Still, the Word of God must have indwelled Jesus. Many people came and worshipped him as a King. In the days of King you would prostrate yourself before the King. However even in those...

    Knowing removes faith. While it’s good to know things. Don’t lose faith; and remember to love. Just being right doesn’t mean much.

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    I think people just want to be liked by other people and acknowledge as they are right while others are wrong. Is this all people care about? That’s my question. I believe it truly stunts spiritual growth. The Word was God… Jesus was made flesh and born of the flesh and spirit and the Word of...

    Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

    God made Christ. Jesus was divine because he was the very Word of God. The Word of God was never “made” as Jesus was born of the flesh and of spirit. “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” ‭‭2...

    Why does everyone seem to need to come up with their own belief and doctrinal formula?

    ““You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Upon reading last...

    Why does everyone seem to need to come up with their own belief and doctrinal formula?

    Hello @ScottA, Nothing wrong with playing rubix cube, the thing is there is always the who? Why? When? Where? And how? A method of complexity that comes with observing the Gospels themselves; plus the Old Testament as well. A lot to consider; or following people and what they say; which is...

    Wineskins? And Why Old and New do not Mix.

    Matthew 9 This notion of wineskins, are speaking of how the Old Covenant and the New Covenant coming are incompatible with each other. It's impossible for either one of them to mix. Therefore New Wine is placed in new wineskins, "so both are preserved." Meaning Gentile and Jew alike, in and...
