No, He is not the only God, that is what we can't understand. In the Godhead, He is the only God. And that God is One. There is a difference in the understanding of the Godhead and the understanding of man. There is no attempt in Scripture to explain that one God.

You have been shown time and time again that God exists in 3 distinct persons. You have been shown that God the Father has given the Word, Jesus Christ, who was with Him before time began, the power of the universe through His redeeming of man from his sin. Or if you haven't been shown that, I...

How long will you deny that Christ said He was with the Father before the world was created? How long will you deny the Christ his due title? I know that is it through His virgin birth that you believe He was created. And I know that you cannot see that He existed with the Father before time...

Jesus is not Jehovah, per se. But He has been given the sovereign power of the universe by God the Father. The Son is deity. Psalms 2:7-12 "I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for...

@BreadOfLife, your position is not one of a Christian! You are attacking the person, that is not acceptable! You have repeatedly been doing this. It's time you clean up the act and commit to discussion as the rest of us. We all attack what we don't believe, but not the person. That is simply...

Jesus said all those things in His humanity, being made a little lower than the angels. He told us He was in the beginning with the Father before the worlds were created. John and Paul told us He, in fact, He is the Creator. So don't be fooled that Christ is not God, He is! But in His humanity...

Amen Brother! That's some good preaching right there!

In 500 years, if the Lord hasn't returned, what will they say about us? It's easy to pick apart someone from over 500 years ago and condemn them, when you have no idea what the circumstances were in the time that they lived. There are many things where I agree with Luther and Calvin, there are...

Luther started out on the right premise when he nailed his 95 thesis to the Church door stating, "the just shall live by faith." He with Calvin and others did open up a whole new can of worms, but taking a step in the right direction from the greatest harm of all.

The worst that could possibly take place in violation of the Word of God, took place during the formation of the RCC.

A Trail of Evidence But during this same time, we find mention of 1 John 5:7, from about 200 AD through the 1500s. Here is a useful timeline of references to this verse: 200 AD Tertullian wrote "which three are one" based on the verse in his Against Praxeas, chapter 25. 250 AD Cyprian of...

Not sure why you think my definition of sin is different from, "sin is the transgression of the Law?"

If only one person that manifests Himself in three persons, how is Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father? Why did God say, "let us create man in our image?" What was the voice, "this is my beloved Son, believe Him?" Why did God the Father say to Jesus, "thy throne Oh God is forever?"...

LOL! That's probably the most difficult chore you'll find.

I have lots of Pentecostal friends. Of course they sway this way and that way also, but the ones I know, our overall view on Scripture is identical. the only difference is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This particular church still holds to it.

LOL, the Scripture says that God called a peculiar people, now you know it's the fundamentalists! I was the same way, and maybe still have some of it, but that's the way it is with them/us. Women can wear no pants, the deacons can have no facial hair, I know, most will say this is overboard...

Always a pleasure to have conversation with you, BOL.

That does not mean Timothy was an apostle in succession to the 12. Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles and even his name in not recorded to be on the foundations with the 12. There is no succession from the 12!

It's plainly written but there are those who will not believe it, nothing we can do. The Trinity has been well defended on these boards, there is One who is proud of that.

That was done to complete the 12 who were called. The Scripture says these 12 apostles have their names written on the 12 foundations of New Jerusalem. Only 12, theefaith. That is the end of that.
