    Proof that Jesus is God

    What Scriptural passage is that?

    Who is Jesus Christ?

    Words are not beings. That is how you know John 1:1 is figurative. It's absurd to say the word of Joe Biden is Joe Biden. Anyway, as another person pointed out proof text against the trinity abounds in John 17:22.

    Evidence To Be Seen

    I did not want to turn to Scripture so soon but came across these verses that indicate Biblical times was an evidence based culture compared to today's emphasis on believing without evidence, which goes against the intelligentsia. This, the first of Yeshua’s miraculous signs, he did at Kanah...

    Positive Thinking

    Surrender to God. Let’s his grace displace any negativity.

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    You truly do not get it! To cobble together a doctrine from various passages is what it means to NOT be an explicit teaching. By contrast, that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, is explicit. You can find it explicitly in a single verse. Please keep in mind this thread is not meant to...

    Proof that Jesus is God

    Yes because the man is God thesis is not in Scripture. The reliance on duality is clear when one considers Jesus said he was sent. Who has authority to send God on a mission? The answer is laughable as it distorts language, such as a bring sends themselves on a mission.

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    I understand your position as absent from Scripture as an explicit teaching suit is. I’m sure we’d agree on the explicit teaching in the Bible like we need to have faith in Jesus to take away our sins, that we should forgive others as our subs are forgiven and as Jesus said, most importantly...

    Proof that Jesus is God

    Hebrews 4:12 come to mind. That we might be guided by the Spirit to understand God's word differently and that explains, in part, the proliferation of denominations. There is a quote from St Augustine on this I'll dig up later when I have time.

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    That is a great point. Sola Scriptura is a latin phrase. So, one should not expect to see it in Hebrew or Greek text, right? Having said that, I think this is supportive. How about you? And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. Mark 7:13 (NLT)

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    Great question! I like to differentiate between reasonable degrees of confidence. For instance, compare and contrast what various Christian denominations hold in common compared to their doctrinal differences. My guess is what is in common is more likely explicitly taught. Now, there is nothing...

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    Not really an answer to my question but what follows shows you do not realize the difference between merely being supported, like seeing faces in inanimate objects from explicitly taught. You are simply wrong about this as a matter of fact. There is no scriptural verse that says anything like...

    Thoughting again!....oh no, is that allowed?

    Oy vey. Never read v2 eh? It is a prohibition against hypocrisy, one of the few sins Jesus condemned people for. Please tell me you realize Jesus is not actually conveying the idea that we should not judge at all? 7 Jesus: If you judge other people, then you will find that you, too, are being...

    One difference among many between us.

    What do you think about gender equality in Christianity?

    Brother, one does not have to be a Cultural Marxist to be indoctrinated to embrace their terms. And I have repeatedly defined the difference between equality and equals. You are right about one thing; there is no point in further discussion with each other.

    Proof that Jesus is God

    Isaiah also said he was in the beginning and these other claims of deity. Does not make him God, right? This is because this is what prophets, including Jesus, do; they speak the words of God. Does not make them God. Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the...

    Proof that Jesus is God

    You are reading into the parallels. Do you suppose every time someone in the Bible said "I am" it means they are God?

    Biblical Support v Explicit Biblical Teaching

    Yes, exactly. Of course, most people equate the doctrines they hold with what Scripture says. Hence, recognizing 'support' may be akin to seeing human faces in inanimate objects but actual explicit teachings are golden nuggets.
