    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    @O'Darby @Aunty Jane The dumbing is just confusion and blindness imposed upon every generation by God for the purpose of-- equal opportunity, "until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled"...Each given the opportunity to face the stated equation, of "Behold, the man has become like one of Us...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    I have given my testimony. I am sure it's here somewhere. It's a bit of a story, not unlike Paul's experience on the road to Damascus. Just me and God.

    What's your purpose at a forum such as this?

    No, but He did ask them why they didn't know.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    First, I am under no obligation to try and convince you of anything, nor have I assumed anything. But it is given to me to make known the truth of the matter. So, I don't need to go point to point, as you are. Unfortunately, you are speaking out of your own understanding of something bigger...

    What's your purpose at a forum such as this?

    What's your purpose at a forum such as this? My coming to know God and my salvation experience was not unlike Paul's road to Damascus experience. I was touched and tasked by God to put an end...well, to everything. Yet first comes the fulfillment of "the sounding of the seventh angel, when he...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Again, that is good...unless you mean it to say that Jesus was just a man. I have explained already how He was "I am" "before the foundation of the world", then "a man also", as an "image" of "I am" and again God having "taken His life up again", which only God can do.

    What's the reason Jesus is 'immortal' and men 'mortals' ?

    Answering the above title question" Jesus is the exception, the "only begotten"--which is to say "of" God, but spiritually, meaning "is." "Of" is a preposition meaning "is" in the spiritual context of God who is timeless. It is simply another way of saying "I am." Meaning, although Jesus was...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    This has been a mystery for millennium (...which I have just answered in post #132.) Indeed, you may very well know all that has yet been known. You will find my explanation in post #132..

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    That's all fine enough...for this side of the chasm. Walking in the spirit here is not quite the same as without this side in existence. That will come. Meanwhile, our walking in the spirit is best not done like wearing a gown that is donned, as did Adam and Eve in an attempt to cover their...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Exactly. The point being...when all is said and done, we are all One, in Christ in God--no multitudes, no son of man, One. It is only the "image" that would make it appear differently.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    No. You don't get to turn the tables. I wasn't even asking you--I was telling you.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Your version? Fine. Let me enlarge the truth of it...because it would seem you mean to ignore it.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Sorry that I am having to be so blunt with you and @Peterlag, but you have both from the very beginning, apparently, missed the fact that man (including Jesus) is manifest in the form of an "image" of God, a reflection. Which in the case of Jesus is a perfect image, and thus like the image in a...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Okay...let's start with you: Is your image in a mirror not you, but someone else? (Rhetorical) The answer is, there is you, and there is your image, and your image is not another being. God has declared from the beginning that man was made in His image. So...you are having a problem with the...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Obviously that went right over your head. Do you even have a head?

    The Absolute Truth.

    This is not a question for @Phil . so Phil, please do not reply. Should I be flattered that an AI "Likes" me?

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    You say that as if it were an impossibility. It's not. By the same means, looking in a mirror produces a reflection, an image. In other words, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father", does not show or prove that God's own image is not God, but rather that Jesus is an image ("in Our image").

    The Absolute Truth.

    Continuing to comment after my checkmate, just gives more evidence that it is not what you have said, but what you are and are not--which by definition, if not said to a person--is not "personal." The gig is up.

    The Absolute Truth.

    I have no questions of you. But I will say, all you are doing is noting context, and that the one is not of the context of the other. Good for you, but you are being misleading...as if a fool who says, "there is no God."

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Philippians 2:5-8 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance...
