    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Here's my second (or third) opinion. Most people today understand the word 'faith' to refer to a religious belief, such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddism, Hinduism, etc.. One dictionary definition is "a sytem of religious belief". A denomiation is defined as 'a religious group, usually...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    I have read again your posts and my posts, and as far as I can see I have addressed all the verses that you have quoted. I have not ignored any of them. On the other hand, you have not addressed all of the verses that I have quoted. What did Jesus say? "Why do you see the speck that is in...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Are you suggesting that John 17:3, where Jesus says that the Father is the only true God, is not a real verse?! o_O You are assuming that Jesus said that in Revelation 1:8. However, it is actually God saying it: WEB: (8) “I am the Alpha and the Omega, ” says the Lord God,“who is and who was...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Acts 2:36 (36) “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” I wrote that the verse that Robert quoted (verse 36) "doesn't say anything in relation to Jesus' resurrection". The subject of his post was that...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    I never referred to Hebrews 2! However, I'll explain it to you. :) We need interpret it in context, so here's more of the passage: Hebrews 2:5-9 (WEB): (5) For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels. (6) But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Jesus is the Son of God because he is the only-begotten son of God! He was anointed by God to be the redeemer of mankind, and that was the purpose of him being made a man and being sent to the earth, to sacrifice his soul as a substitute for Adam, and to pay the redemption price. He didn't...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    The Bible records Jesus saying that the Father alone is God (John 17:3), and when the Jews accused Jesus of claiming to be God he denied it and said he was claiming to be God's son (John 10:33-38). Jesus refers to his Father, YHWH, as his God (John 20:17, Revelation 3:12). God's word (the...

    Why must we love God first?

    Because that was God's commandment, which Jesus confirmed was the greatest commandment. Deuteronomy 6:1-5 (WEB): (1) Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    You don't say it, but I get the impression that you think that those verses are not in harmony with the verses I quoted. How do you harmonise Jesus' words that God is in Jesus, Jesus is in Christians, Christians are in Jesus, and Jesus and Christians are in God, and we are all one, with other...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    You shouldn't just "weigh" it with other Scriptures; it must be in harmony with the rest of the Scriptures. Jesus declared that the Father is the only true God (John 17:3), and never does Jesus claim to be the Father, nor is he declared to be the Father. Therefore Jesus saying "He who has seen...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    That doesn't answer Robert's question. To give more context to the verses that you quoted, Jesus had just said: (6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. (7) If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    In Jude 1:7 it says, (WEB): (7) Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. However, if Sodom and Gomorrah...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Do you mean 1 John 5:7-9?

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    That verse doesn't say anything in relation to Jesus' resurrection; it just says that it was God who made Jesus to be our Lord, and made Jesus the Messiah, i.e. it was God who anointed Jesus to become our saviour and our king. Just prior to this, in Acts 2:31, Peter said: (31) He seeing this...

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    It's difficult to define what a spirit being is, because we have no knowledge or experience of what it is like. Scientific theory would lead us to suspect that spirit beings live in an extra dimension, or dimensions, that we don't have access too, and have difficulty imagining. They are not...

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    What makes you think that? I wrote, "nobody, not even any Christian, is righteous. We have all sinned and are all imperfect, still having a sinful nature". How can you twist that to mean "everyone is worthy"? You're not making much sense to me! A bastard is someone whose mother and father...

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    Please give Scripture references to support your claims. I have not dismissed anyone! Buster? They rejected Jesus because they rejected Jesus? You're talking nonsense! You're now calling people idiots and bastards - you're showing more hatred and lack of love and compassion! Remember...

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    You call them "worthy" as though it was by their works that they had faith in Jesus, but the Scriptures says otherwise. To repeat, Romans 11:5-6 (WEB): (5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. (6) And if by grace, then it is no longer...

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    I asked if you had any supporting Biblical evidence, and you respond by insulting the Jews and asking a stupid question. So from that I take it that you have no Biblical evidence to support your claims. As for the Jews being stupid, that is God's work - Romans 11:8 (WEB): (8) According as it...

    The Rapture vs. the Pre-tribulational Rapture

    Yes, it's referring to the Christians who are alive when the first resurrection takes place. The dead in Christ are resurrected as spirit beings, and the Christians still alive will be changed to become spirit beings and caught up to join the resurrected Christians and Jesus amongst the clouds...
