We are to eat... Internalize His words. KJV Isaiah 55:11 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it . Thy words were found, and I did eat them: and...

Christ clothed His divinity with humanity. He lived fully as a human, not once using His divine attributes to accomplish anything or to carry out His work. He lived by faith. There were a couple of occasions when His divinity shone through, like when the mob fell backwards in the garden. The...

Not only does the Bible tell us that Christ is begotten of God, but it also says He is the only begotten of God (John 1:14, 1:18, 3:16, 3:18 and 1 John 4:9 KJV). No one else has ever been begotten of God. Even an angel cannot be said to be a son in this respect. Just as the material things of...

Not arguing with the preexistence of Jesus. He is/was Creator of all things... And not created Himself.

If Christ as an individual eternally existed, then the whole Father/Son motif becomes nothing more than a metaphor. The Father/Son relationship is merely a show. Play acting. The trinity depicts 3 co-equal co-eternal beings, all exactly the same. Any one of then could have chosen to be the...

KJV Romans 8:3 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: KJV Romans 8:4 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but...

Can you consider my signature?

Oh boy. Ain't that the truth. And that covers all denominations. Having a good time could apply to night clubs... And the music in many churches isn't much different to them.

I look at it this way. The Son a had a beginning in personality, but not in nature. I see it like this... The rock that was taken from the mountain in Daniel 2.. it is of the same eternal nature as the mountain, but once separated became an individual personality. But hey, I could be waayyy way...

And how much more does that reveal the love God has for mankind. That both Father and Son were willing to risk so much by the Son's voluntary humility in becoming fully man and putting Himself on probation in order to redeem us.

Okay, so this is weird. There's a debate here between two sides basically. Those who don't believe Jesus is God/antitrinitarians, and those who do/trinitarians. And here I am getting likes from both sides,! Yet I'm not getting sore from straddling a fence. I don't have a foot in both camps. I...

Why not? Would not the life that the Son received from His Father be the Father's life... Therefore eternal and naturally of the same essence as His Father's? Now, as I said before, I don't discuss the nature of God. So the above is as far as I go. Like begets like. That was God's way from the...

Jesus was born in the likeness of sinful flesh... As you say, carnal nature with all it's weaknesses. And yes, He could have sinned if He had so chosen. Agreed. But that word propensities, our propensities are evil. His propensities were to enoble, heal, uplift and save humanity. I believe there...

Just as an adjunct, we also, in the same manner Christ did, through faith and self sacrifice, can reveal the character of the Father and show forth How glory to the world, through Christ in us, the hope of glory.

That doesn't answer my question. If Jesus was not God begotten, then what was He? What did God beget if not an offspring... Like begetting like... Of Himself? And way before creation as scripture declares loudly, Christ being Creator.

"But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne O God..." The Son claimed to be the Son of the Father, for which almost the entire Jewish leadership wanted Him killed. Yet they all claimed to be children of God. As do we all. No. What Jesus was claiming, and the Jews knew, was far and above anything...

There are statements such as the above, and below, that I like, although in order to fully endorse them I would need to know what precisely you mean by "like those", and "sin prone nature". You see, I agree that Christy had to be fully human in order to die, and in order to know what it is like...

Oh? Then what is He? Cannot God beget God?

Okay. I can live with that.

It is the Lord Himself who is the consuming fire which devours sin and those who cleave to it. And there are some who stand in the midst of it and survive.
