The deity of Christ at the Council of Nicea (c. AD 325)?? I am sick and tired of people claiming that the Council of Nicea (c. AD 325) made Jesus into God. This is a claim that you will hear from both cultists and skeptics. For example, Jehovah’s Witnesses are famous for making this claim. In...

The solution is found in Norman Geisler's book. He teaches a worldview that uses Graded Absolutes.

Let me put it this way: Literal Interpretation method leads to Dispensationalism. You don't find Dispensationalists who buy in to the allegorical method. Their interpretation could be anything, whereas a Literalist is strictly limited by the words in the text. For a literalist the Millennial...

The issue in this discussion is the interpretive method. One interpretation is the Literal Interpretative Method. Once you commit to this, your interpretation method will determine the meaning of a passage, book. If you take a more symbolic method, or spiritual approach, you will hold to a...

I agree. Did you misread something in my post?

Isaiah 45:23 “By myself I (Yahweh) have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: To me (Yahweh) every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance” This passage is applied to Jesus in the NT. The OT Subject Yahweh is usually God the Father. In...

God fixed his bible=The New world translation. If God can change his bible from the Apostles' writings to the NWT, he can do the same for another Prophet, Stephen. This time it goes from the NWT to the new Bible soon to be released. If Joseph can be a prophet, so can Stephen. In fact, there is...

To my surprise God has yet another Bible that supersedes the NWT. God is in the process of making his new and only religion known to mankind through a Prophet named Stephen. He will be giving the new Bible and the new ways God is changing everything to the publisher. Be on the lookout for it...

Aunty Jane, Yahweh is also Jesus, and can apply to any Member of the Godhead.

This is what I mean when I say you are not a serious student of the Scriptures. Your posts are borderline childish. I take the scriptures literally unless the context dictates otherwise. I am afraid we are so far apart that further discussion will not yield any benefit. You come across as...

Daniel 3:25, Judges 2:1 Any time God appears to man, it is a reference to Christ, the One who reveals the Godhead. The Father nobody has seen. I cut and pasted the below passages. 1. Appearance to Abraham (Genesis 18) Three men visited Abraham, and one of them was God Himself. We know he...

I will wait to comment once you provide evidence for your statement. Christians And he did. Again I will await some clarification as to this obtuse statement. I will likely ignore you if you keep this childish game going. We all have the right to be taken seriously out here.

I am not being rude but if you are asking me to show you a Christophony in the OT, you can't possibly be a serious student of the Word. BTW, I do not hold to there existing "God exists in one being in three persons." You think Jesus is making a statement about his nature in that verse? What if...

The neuter "that which" includes all that is mentioned in 1-3. The best solution, if you ask me and in keeping with the emphasis later made clear in verse 3 with the introduction of the main verb, is to understand the antecedent of the relative pronouns in verses 1 and 3 to be a comprehensive...

I just follow where the evidence leads. I am certain that the Bible teaches that the Godhead is a trinity. When I say certain that I am certain that the Godhead is a trinity, I mean it is true IF and only IF one holds to the literal interpretation method of the Word. The only way the Trinity...

You definitely need to explain further. Jesus had a human body, but not a human soul and spirit. Think of Jesus like he was in the OT when he appeared to many people, it is called a Christophony. Jesus had a human body but was still deity. Same in the NT.

How so?

Some Attributes of God We have seen already that the Bible teaches us to respond to Jesus Christ as we would to God the Father, by giving him the honors that are due God. We are to honor, glorify, worship, pray to, sing to and about, believe in, fear or reverence, religiously serve, love, and...

But it appears that Irenaeus of Lyon (120-202) was a pre-tribulationist. Irenaeus was a disciple of Polycarp (who was a disciple of the apostle John) and articulated his eschatological views in Against Heresies, Book 5. First, he referred to Enoch’s translation and Elijah’s being “caught up” as...

That is the quintessence of arrogance. I will end our discussion here. Best of luck to you. Let US make man in OUR own image.
