    Understanding the Trinity.

    1 Timothy 3, the mystery of the faith, and the mystery of God expressed by the Trinity, v16. God the Father, God manifested in the flesh as the Son who was believed on in the world, God justified in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, let God be true and everyman a liar. Romans 3:4 Certainly not...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    The 3 fold nature of God as distinct persons is just a given according to the scriptures, as Christ came in the form of God and it also says Christ was equal with God. Isaiah 9:6 and Philippians 2 point this out very. very clearly, unmistakably so. 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, "whom" means a person, in this case God the Holy Spirit. So the Spirit...

    More context, you see the meaning here 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    The idea there is Christ was raised by the spirit, not as a spirit. God raised up Christ by His Spirit. There are some versions say in the spirit, by the spirit, but none say as a spirit. Really the context is He whom Christ raised up. And Christ was raised by the Father. 1 Peter 3:18 NKJV For...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Christ is the resurrection and the life, all are resurrected, the unjust (the evil) and the just ( the saved) into a body of some kind. John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. John 5 28 Do not marvel at this...

    Both the wicked and the just shall be resurrected, everyone will again have some kind of body, for the saved it will be a glorified body, for the damned, something else, unpleasant, not glorified. 1 Corinthians 15 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Christ has been glorified, can appear and disappear at will with a flesh and bone body. Apparently can do a lot more than a flesh and blood natural body, and the body He has when He appears, Christ calls it flesh and bones, so tangible, not a spirit ghost, etc... Luke 24:36-40 New King James...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Romans 8:6-8 New King James Version 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Actually after we are regenerated, then we know who He is. Prior to that we dont know for certain as there is no internal teaching by God to our spirit of who He is. We are dead in trespasses and sins, then He makes us alive who were dead for the only reason of His grace, mercy, love towards us...

    This is really good teaching here, no you cannot believe in Christ unless you believe who He IS. If you believe Christ is not God, then he is nothing but a false Christ that can not save you. Can A Christian Believe That Jesus Is Not God?

    When Believing in Jesus Can’t Save You. Do I have to believe that Jesus is God to be saved? Can A Christian Believe That Jesus Is Not God?

    Understanding the Trinity.

    If Christ is not raised then your faith is in vain. The definition of bodily resurrection meant for a spirit to be put back into a living body of someone who had died. Christ risen means His resurrected body is flesh and bone, not something like a ghost. Romans 1 New King James Version Greeting...

    Example, Jesus Christ is Lord God. Same theme in Romans 10 about being saved. Matthew 4:6-8 New King James Version 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up...

    JW's don't believe God raised Christ from the dead, true that disqualifies them for salvation. They also do not Believe Jesus Christ is LORD, also disqualifies them. All the NT verses describing Christ as Lord acknowledge He is God the Son, they don't believe that. The believe Christ was a...

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    "Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.” 'If the elect, and the elect alone, are guaranteed salvation, why the “they also”? ' All people to be saved must believe, no one is born saved, God...

    Revelation 22, Jesus is the First and Last, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, the Almighty, just as Revelation 1 states. Those who take away from that, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 8 Now I, John...
