Ok...let's keep this simple: Why does Jesus say "I and the Father are one?"

Nice attempt at a dodge, but you sort of failed, sorry. Jesus may have said in John 14:28 that the Father is "greater than I", but proper hermeneutics require us to look at everything Jesus said about himself: 22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23...

Can I ask you a question? And I would appreciate it if you actually answered it... You say Jesus is not equally God. You say the "Son of God" is but a title, one that does not equal Christ's deity. How then do you deal with the fact that the Bible says we are only to worship God...but it also...

I do wonder what reality you're in. You couldn't have missed my point any more if you'd tried. It's impossible to debate with irrational people...good day.

No, I do not dismiss Jesus' words, or his example. In fact I was pointing out that Jesus himself will say there is a time for death...at his own hands when he comes again. Are you dismissing his words? Revelations is Jesus telling John what will happen. That's Jesus....and his words. Are you...

I'd just like to jump in here with a thought.....I think you'll find if you look at all of scripture that God's followers, no matter if it's Old or New T, act in a manner that most glorifies God and furthers his will. Consider: We know God to be unchanging, and we know that his perfect holiness...

That's a really good observation....and sadly it's often too true. It's frustrating enough that as society changes it pressures Christianity to 'keep up with the times'....but it's even worse when you see Churches bowing to such pressure, and changing it's 'morals' to fit with society's, rather...

So...you admit that you are here to "spread" your particular brand of beliefs here?

So...you don't think it important to stand up to the truth to these people....to give them a chance to see the truth and repent? You just want to condemn them straight to hell with no worries about their soul? Because I think the bible tells us to love our enemies and that God wants everyone to...

Well, I am glad you're not speaking of me...and I can assure you, my faith and love of Christ is genuine. But honestly...if you have concerns...why not talk to us? We can either reassure, or dig into something like this. As far as closing topics criticizing gays....I've done that. Not because I...

Well....it can be a bit of a tricky problem, but I'll give you one answer.... There is a difference between a troll, who only wants to insult and stir up arguments...that's a no brainer...you boot 'em. But as for 'wolves'....it can be tricky to tell the difference between those who are wolves...

Really? There's only about 5 of us....my first instinct to this is to laugh, but on second thought.....if you honestly think one or some of us are wolves, don't you think you should be talking to the mod's that you think aren't wolves? To be honest, I can't see it. The mods do come from...

Hey Marc! Welcome to the forum! Very nice post above...amen!

"Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations..." (Luke 24:46-47)...Happy Easter!!

Man....it's soooo hard to let an argument drop when someone is so obviously, blatantly, ridiculously, head bangingly wrong! And not just wrong, but apparently oblivious to the fact that his arguments are flat, illogical and pointless. But I suppose anything's possible....so here I go!

Sigh. Yes, your verses in the OP are very pretty. Truly, they are wonderful verses, and they do mean much....but...and here's the point I've been trying to make all along.... They do not state that these 'commandments' we are to follow, are needed to be done FOR salvation. All the passages I've...

Yes, I do know of what you're talking about. Although I think it is more complicated than just 'picking and choosing which commandments' a person follows. The gospel of grace frees us from the law. That said, however, the NT is full of things that as redeemed people, we should be walking...

Okay....here's 3 things I know about you: 1. You never back up your thoughts with scripture 2. You repeat things over and over....even though you don't back them up with scripture and others have clearly given you scripture 3. You believe you are qualified to know everything about...

Well....I think it's all well and good to say that we're not of this earth, and to let the 'pagans' do as they please....but that's not truly taking into consideration what Jesus calls us to do here. Meshak...I thought you of all would have been on this: Doesn't Jesus call us to be the salt and...

Friend, you don't know me, or my fruit, or the fruit of my "organization". And since you do not know these things, it must...as it always should in any case....come back to the scriptures. And apart from repeating a few things ....that you 'follow Jesus'....that you 'know people by their...
