    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Deuteronomy 6:4 - (TLV) “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (WEB) Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one. (ISV) "Listen, Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. (GNB) "Israel, remember this! The LORD—and the LORD alone—is our God. So I understand it to mean that...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    That's the wrong reference - it should be John 8:24. No, he is not saying that he was Yahweh, he was saying 'if you don't believe that I am who I say Iam, then you will not have your sins forgiven before you die'. He could not be claiming to be Yahweh/Jehovah because the very next verse says...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    If someone was to say "You should listen to Biden, the only true President of the United States of America", then I would interpret that to mean that Biden alone was the President. If there are other people claiming to be President then from what was said I would conclude that they were not the...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Actually it is saying that! You need to start at verse 1. Jesus was speaking to his Father, so in verse 3 when he says "you, the only true God" he is effectively saying, "Father, you are the only true God": 1) Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    That chapter is referring to Jerusalem and the nation of Israel. I don't think it is referring to the Messiah. It may be alluding to the new Jerusalem mentioned in Revelation 21.

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    APAK's response was to my reply, so I presume you include me in the "They" that you're referring to. However, I have never claimed that the "Word was God" is symbolic. I may have claimed that it's not the best translation of the Greek manuscript text, but that's not the same as saying it's...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    I have always (well, for about 27 years, and in all my posts on the topic in this forum) argued against the Trinity doctrine, and I have definitely never claimed that Jesus and his Father were the same being! You must be confusing my replies with somebody else's. I do believe though that the...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    All verses of Scripture will be in harmony if we interpret them in the correct way, and may not harmonise if we interpret them incorrectly. So John 17:5, along with the other verses I mentioned, indicate that Jesus was alive long before his human birth, especially John 8: 56) Your father...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Err, hang on a minute! I made a comment that I didn't agree with your statement that Jesus did not exist before the earth was created, and I quoted a couple of verses to support why I disagreed. Your reply to that also included references to other verses (Eph 2:15, Acts 2:33,38, 2Cor 5:17, Gal...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Why do you assume that I've not taken the verses seriously? That's insulting! How about if I also include Ephesians 3:9 (WEB): and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; (although it...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    The following verses tell us that Jesus (the Word) did exist before the earth was created, because he created it: John 1:1-3 (REB): In the beginning the Word already was. The Word was in God's presence, and what God was, the Word was. He was with God at the beginning, and through him all...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    I'm surprised that you cannot understand such a simple thing as this! If the USA president sends troops to save some Americans being persecuted in a foreign country, then the president will be regarded as their saviour, because it was his decision and orders that it be done. The troops that...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    (Isa 60:16) ... Then you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Jesus is not Yahweh; Yahweh sent Jesus to be our redeemer and saviour: 1 John 4: 9) By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    God was the saviour of the Israelites when he sent Moses to deliver them from Egypt: (Isaiah 19:20) It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    Which Michael are you talking about? There are men called Michael mentioned in the Bible, and there is an angel, or archangel (Jude 1:9), mentioned by Daniel, who he says was "one of the chief princes" and "your prince", i.e. the “the great prince who stands for the" Israelites (Daniel 12:1)...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    The expression "God the Son" does not exist in the Bible, nor "God the Holy Spirit". Only the expression "God the father", which is used by Paul, John, Peter and Jude. I believe in the only begotten Son of God: (Mark 1:1) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; (2 Peter...

    The Only True God, the God of Jesus Christ.

    That's just slander. I do speak, and type, the name of Jesus, and in the above reply I stated that Jesus was my saviour - he's the saviour of all mankind. Yeshua was Jesus' real name; Jesus is a transliteration into English of his name translated into Greek. Nobody in the first century AD...

    Yeshua is the saviour of all mankind. He became our saviour in obedience to the will of his father, almighty God Yahweh.

    What's that got to do with John 3:13?

    The First Resurrection

    You've ignored what I said, again. 1 Peter 1:19 says, "but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ". Peter was comparing the blood of Jesus with the blood of a sacrificed lamb for the temple sacrifices, and/or for the passover lamb when God brought the...
