Jesus promised us freedom form sin? Horrors!!! What a fearful thought...surely God doesn't want us to be free from sin. I mean, if that were so, surely we would be discussing such an idea more often right, and celebrating in hope and faith? But that isn't happening is it. So can't be true.

"The waters He called seas". We have little comprehension as to the nature of geography before the flood. There was water. There was land. How they related to one another we simply don't know. My guess is that because of what we know of the nature of God, that He desires and treasures...

I find it incredible there are still Christians who are still, after years of study and discussion, still using Colossians 2:16,17 as a defense for setting aside the 4th commandment, and believing that the historical changes to the calendars altered the continuance and unchanging cycle of the...

I believe some are. As in any denomination and faith, there are some who live fully in harmony with what light and understanding they have, and express that faith in love and hope of the resurrection. Just as there are some who have great light, but sin by not living room accordance to that...

Yes. For example, Caiaphas, Judas. Neither fully understood Jesus and who He is, but Jesus certainly knew them.

The Abingdon Bible Commentary of 1929 (compiled by some 66 professors of biblical exegesis, biblical languages, theology, Christian doctrine and church history etc.) has the following to say with reference to the words “express image” (KJV) “The word translated ‘very image’ means, literally, the...

Hebrews 1:5. When did that take place? Especially when read in context with verse 6?

Did the creeds solve the problems of heresy, or did they set up more of a different nature, and cloud the reality of truth in further controversy?

You are right, there are problems with the core creedal concepts of trinitarian doctrine, just don't throw out the baby etc. There is also truth in trinitarianism. Rejecting the whole for the sake of some error is a mistake. Accepting the whole for the sake of some truth is also error. Accept...

Except for one glaring fact. God sent His only begotten Son. He didn't send His adopted son. Or created son. Or imaginary son. Only begotten has that very important component of being unique... Only one of a kind. Begotten that way. Born. The Father/Son paradigm is literal, real, and is a...

Your declaration that the word "arche" doesn't mean initiator or beginner is absolute nonsense. Why do trinitarians get offended when told begotten means created? I don't know, not being your average trinitarian. But I can hazard a guess. Perhaps because your proposal, like the "arche"...

KJV 1 John 4:2-3 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it...

True, but it does make him man.

I agree with almost everything you've said above, the Michael part included. But here... In contradistinction to your statement above, the very fact that Jesus is, as you also concur with, the Son of God, is the greatest testament and affirmation of His deity of anything else in scripture. He...

Won't try to contradict that verse. But you seem to have forgotten, that one God, the Father, had a Son. And not once have any of you attempted to identify who that Son was before the incarnation. Except Jane. Some say he didn't exist before the incarnation, but have to deny all the scriptures...

The seas that the first beast arises from is symbolic for peoples, nations, tribes and tongues, yes. KJV Revelation 17:1, 15 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore...

That sounds just like them yes. This fella isn't a run of the mill back street preacher... He echoes a movement in America and is exactly why I believe America is in big trouble...

He asked for a verse. Is there one verse that explains the way of salvation? Is there one verse that reveals the relationship of Christ to His Father? He asked for one verse. I have him 30. And by the way, I'm not defending Trinitarianism. I'm defending Christ's deity.

What I said. Exactly. Jesus. LORD. As His Son, He inherited His Father's name... Character. I think you posted on this some time ago. Name reflects character. Are you suggesting the Son, the express image of the Father, was not of the same character and therefore not worthy of the same name...

Jesus said no-one has seen God at any time. Mortal man cannot look upon God and live. That is why after the fall, there was needed a Mediator. Thus... The Son. The word of God. Intercessor. Mediator. Priest. God's spokesman. He walked and talked with Adam and Eve. With Manoah. Moses. But even...
