Our definition of the Son is wrapped up in the hypostatic union. Jesus is "the Son" in that He is come in the flesh. So no, the Son did not impregnate His mother. The Spirit of the Father (and the Son) became one with the egg in the womb of Mary to produce a zygote that would grow up to be...

However, he is not only discussing these issues with you, he is also discussing them with me... And I do claim that Jesus' Spirit is the same Spirit as the Father; while He is distinct from the Father in that He is come in the flesh (the hypostatic union).

What you are not seeing is that all of mankind is born dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15). The only way, therefore, that anyone can truly love another person is through faith in Jesus Christ. For we receive the Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14). And the love of...

If you don't confess your sin, you won't be forgiven. No, not separate from. I have knowledge of what gnosticism is from Christian sources who have looked into it with the understanding that it is heresy. I have not read any of the original gnostic documents lest I become deceived by them...

The Father both stayed behind and also went forward in the incarnation...for it is impossible for one who inhabits eternity to cease to dwell in eternity....for by definition they are there eternally. Consider that John 8:27 refers back to John 8:24, where Jesus said, Unless you believe that I...

Let's see if you can figure it out... Your answer?

Yes...and you had better believe that this means that there is still hope for you... Same Spirit...distinct in that in the Son, the Spirit is come in the flesh.

This is what every gnostic says to me...that I don't know what gnosticism teaches or else I would be a gnostic... Therefore I do not want to know what gnosticism teaches. I do not see a contradiction there...and my thread on the Trinity explains it (may post a link shortly) True Trinity...

And actually, I did not suggest that piercing one's ear (as a guy) is necessarily a good thing....only that if I were going to do it, there would only be one reason for it... Not even necessarily as a witnessing tool, but to declare that I am indeed a bondservant to the Lord (before Him).

Not that I think it will make any difference... But, Jesus claimed to be God in John 8:58 by making a statement with a breaking of normal grammatical usage...and the Pharisees did not misunderstand Him, but picked up stones to stone Him on not only that occasion (John 8:59, John 10:31-33)...

Simply, that the Bible teaches it, and that it is sound doctrine, that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). If anyone departs from the teaching of holy scripture to any degree, it has the potential of developing into great heresy. If I leave LA for Hawaii and the plane is...

Abortion is a separate issue; and I have commented on it elsewhere and do not consider it to be my forte as concerning doctrine; so I will leave it alone here. To put words in God's mouth is not the unforgiveable sin... If anything, the one who speaks for the Lord is not hiding his talent in...

Apparently, your problem is that you only accept Matthew and Mark as inspired scripture, when 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us we are to take the whole Bible into account. Clearly, John 1:1-3, John 1:14 tells us that Jesus is the Lord God.

Yes, saw it and posted there already (and participated in the poll).

I actually picked the third option on the list...

Before time began I would think that there was no air. God is a Spirit and does not need to breathe. In Hebrews 11:3 we find the biblical premise for atoms in the subject of science. Clearly, air is made up of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide and a few other elements. So yes, it very likely is a...

Not really...not unless the earring were in the shape of a cross or some other symbol of Christianity (like a fish).

What qualifies Jesus as God is the fact that He was the Father before the beginning of time (Luke 1:35). To say that the Holy Spirit "fertilized" the egg in Mary's womb is to reduce the Holy Spirit to the level of a sperm. But He was indeed the "male side" of the zygote that eventually grew...

But apparently you are attempting to teach gnosticism by relating it to the Trinity. The Holy Ghost is the same substance as the Father....He is in fact the same Person. The same Spirit (Ephesians 4:4, John 4:23-24, John 7:39). That we are saved by faith apart from works is evident in, and...

All who are in Christ will be redeemed. Those who are not in Christ will not be. No arguments. If someone truly believes in Christ and has received Him as Saviour and Lord, they have a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14...
