    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    I'm not going to dignify such disrespectful and insulting remarks with a response to your false accusations and misunderstanding of the quoted Bible verses.

    "The word was a god"?

    Of course, because Jesus was God's agent in creating all things (the universe, the Earth, heavenly hosts and all life on Earth), and he rightly gives God the glory. As God's agent in the creation he had to have existed before he was born as a human. Proverbs 8:22-31 (WEB): (22) “Yahweh...

    "The word was a god"?

    As Pinseeker has chosen not to reply, I'll make a comment. You seem to be implying that Jesus did not exist before he was born as a man, so how do you harmonise that with the following verses? Colossians 1:16 (WEB): (16) For by him [Jesus] all things were created, in the heavens and on the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Ephesians 4:31-32 (TLV): (31) Get rid of all bitterness and rage and anger and quarreling and slander, along with all malice. (32) Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other just as God in Messiah also forgave you.

    "The word was a god"?

    Note what God wrote - "You shall have no other gods before me". The Hebrew word translated as before, al, means above, over, upon or against. For example, it's used in Genesis 1:2,20: 2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of...

    Did you know?

    Perhaps Bob was thinking of Jesus saying, Matthew 5:38-40 (WEB): (38) “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ (39) But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. (40) If anyone...

    Is the Spirit Bad?

    I'm not sure why, but I want to mention Matthew 5:3 (WEB): (3) “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. I agee though that we should be becoming more and more like Jesus, and God. Matthew 5:48 (TLV): (48) Therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is...

    Did you know?

    Yes. Matthew 5:21-22 (WEB): (21) “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ (22) But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment; and...

    Is the Spirit Bad?

    I don't remember reading anyone's post where they claimed that God is not a spirit being (but I don't have the time to read all threads!). Can you point us to some examples?

    Of course, it is obvious that a husband and wife do not become a single flesh being. Matthew 19:5 (WEB) says: (5) and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ where the Greek word that is translated...

    Taking the verse in isolation, it could be looking forward and implying that one day we will be perfect, but in the context of the passage it makes more sense as it is translated in the KJV and other translations, as a command - Matthew 5:48 (MKJV): (48) Therefore be perfect, even as your...

    The Ark of the Covenant was/is God's physical throne on the earth. In the visions given to John he saw the Ark in heaven, perhaps symbolic of the spiritual equivalent in heaven - God's throne and authority based on His laws which were/are in the Ark. Revelation 11:19 (WEB): (19) God’s temple...

    Correct, I don't consider that if you are in unity and accord with God, that means that you are God. Yes, God is perfect, but the Scriptues do not say that only God is perfect. God wants all of His creatures to be perfect. Us being told to be perfect does not mean that if we become perfect...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Please can you stop posting this same reply over and over again. I've lost count of the dozens of times that you've posted it. You're not helping anyone by continuing to repeat it. We've read it (more than once). Please move on, otherewise others like me will just ignore your posts and never...

    This really grabbed me today!

    I wasn't suggesting that you read the whole thread! The link is directly to one of my posts in the thread, which I thought was relevant to this thread's discussion. It seemed better to link to it rather than cut and paste it. Reading the whole thread is too much effort, and a different...

    This really grabbed me today!

    Whoah! That's the first time that I've heard that. Am I, or you, getting confused by reading and responding to more than one thread? I was just arguing against the statement that "Jesus is God". I agree with all that you have written there - except your use of the word God! Perhaps this is...

    You're avoiding the issue. Jesus no longer being a man does not mean that Jesus is God. Being one with God does not mean that you are God. When God resurrects us, we will become like Jesus is now (we will not be human). 1 John 3:2 (WEB): (2) Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is...

    This really grabbed me today!

    I wrote the summary because there are so many people who are too lazy to put a bit of time and effort into seeking the truth, perhaps because they don't have love of the truth. Watching the video would be better than reading my summary of it. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 (WEB): (10) ..., because...

    My post was a summary of the video. Evidently you didn't understand the video.

    How can you tell, since I did not mention or comment on that part of your post? I was only responding to your comment 'To say that "Jesus is no longer a man." Then say "Jesus is NOT God." is a contradiction.'
