You didn't answer the question. Chicken?

So, is God the Son a 2nd God or 1/3 of God in your estimation? If, He is God, how is He not the Father? Jas 2:19, Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Jesus did not cease to be God in becoming a Man. However, He did lay aside certain of the divine attributes (such as Omniscience, see Mark 13:32) in taking on a finite human body that could not contain all of the attributes of Deity.

Just pointing out that the translation in Acts 12:4 of "Easter" is not a bad translation...but of course the devil will not fail to contend against it because it is the concept of Easter (resurrection Sunday) that defeats him every time. For he was defeated not only by the Cross; but also by...

Jesus was begotten in the incarnation (Matthew 1:18-20, Luke 1:35). It was not a 2nd God who descended to become a Man; and neither was it 1/3 of God; but it was God.

Many Christians celebrate Easter apart from the pagan elements; celebrating it as resurrection Sunday.

They are in fact exegetically viable; because they teach the things that I say they teach. . . . That is ridiculous. For it is written thus in Isaiah 1:18. I suppose that next, you are going to say that Isaiah 1:18 is not in holy scripture. It would be a statement akin to what was spoken...

Yes, I know that the devil has a beef with Easter and desperately wants that word taken out of the Bible; because he was of course defeated by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Most assuredly, I say to you, faith comes as the result of what God said in Isaiah 1:18, and that is the "word" that I speak regarding it, so my claim is not rendered as refuted, as you say.

I don't really remember any more what the reasoning process was that first led me to believe in God, that was over 30 years ago. I do know that at one point I simply gave up on my arguments and said to God, "I don't know if You're real; but I'm going to start reading Your word and doing what it...

Even the friend that sticks closer than a brother.

I would call on you to show chapter and verse. The incarnation is taught in holy scripture; in John 1:14 and 1 Timothy 3:16 (kjv) and elsewhere (I'm certain). The pre-existence of Jesus is also taught in holy scripture, in that John the Baptist was conceived and born six months before Jesus...

I have no disagreement with you there; for the Bible teaches that there is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4). And just as our human spirit is one with Christ as a singular spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17), so Christ's human spirit may have been one Spirit with the Father..

The law gives the specifics of what it means to love God and neighbor (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6).

Jesus is that Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17, 1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv)). His humanity and His Deity are not two separate persons; but they are distinct aspects of His entire being.

I would say about this that when we are given the gift of salvation, it is the gift of righteousness that we are given (Romans 5:17); and that this righteousness is going to be practical in nature (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6). When a person is truly born again, the Lord sheds abroad...

It teaches, among other things, that what we do in the flesh doesn't matter (pardon my pun), because matter is evil and only what is spirit is good. And therefore what we do in the flesh is inconsequential. This is what @Behold teaches to a certain extent; for he teaches that "the works of the...

It should be clear that we posted what the gnostic teaching was that @Behold's theology is so similar to. A simple review of all the posts will bear this out. And also, when @Behold posted what he believes gnostic teaching is, we showed how his teaching is similar to it, even as concerning how...

Yep. I've narrowed it down to two verses/passages, as being the primary verses that encapsulate the theme of the entire word of the Lord... Ephesians 2:8-9 and Galatians 3:21-22. These passages encapsulate God's view of salvation in a mighty way. I'm certain that other passages also speak...

I suppose that it is different for every individual, concerning the details of what is reasoned out...but suffice it to say that the reasoning capabilities of the individual become involved in the person coming to faith in Jesus Christ (cf. Isaiah 1:18).
