    The priestly order of Melchizedek of which Jesus is our high priest has neither beginning of time nor end of days.

    Yep understood... Where did this theology come from as a matter of interest?

    So you are claiming that the Trinity did not exist before Jesus came !!! So you are claiming that the Trinity did not exist before creation ? In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was WITH God - and Jesus is the Word.

    John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM.” Jesus is the Word. The trinity pre-existed the creation.

    The risen Jesus and the Father are one - and both are all knowing. Jesus accepted a limited understanding when He took on humanity for our sake. That period of time is well past.

    Sure... Jesus reign is eternal - reign requires authority. As the unity between the Father and the Son has never been broken, submission does not have the element of correction, rather mutual respect. Jesus only ever had the authority that was Given and exercised it perfectly - this continues...

    This verse 1 Co 15:25–28 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him...

    Yes... But our learning of His Glory never ends.

    Hey - first off, I much appreciate you kind consideration of my conclusion regarding the Name of the Father and the Son. Regarding the passage you quoted also in John 17 above - in my view this does not imply that we all end up with the same status as the Father and the Christ - this was never...

    The Father and Jesus are One... And always were... what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in...

    Putting a spanner in the works... I have come to believe that Jesus was given the Father's Name according to John 17: 6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have come to know...

    Maybe you haven't understood what I am saying or I don't explain it well. First off there are two Israel's according to Paul - one is the physical decendants of Abraham and the other are the Elect who have Abraham as their father by faith. We have to be careful which group is being referred...

    NO... there is still a future time of the Jews when the Nation will repent... Some think they will however be expelled from the land first and return as believers.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Paul referred to 'Israel' as a spiritual grouping of the Elect - Jesus was likely making the same distinction. Romans 9 6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s...

    The Prophets spoke of things to come that would otherwise not be known. Moses spoke of things past that would otherwise not be known. Both came from the same source - God Himself who is outside of time.

    If this was to be taken literally He would not have shared the Good News with the woman at the well, unless Israel in this case was a reference to the Elect.

    Where did the information come from that gave Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, John an others accurate predictions.

    That does not mean the audience was only Jewish and the Israel He referred to may have been the Spiritual Israel which is the Elect of all Nations. Again a theology from one verse when we know He spoke the message of life to non-Jews.

    Testament and Covenant are two different animals... Record and Agreement might be equivalents...
