For the sake of conversation, let us consider John 5:18.is there anyone "EQUAL" with God? if so post scripture, with book, chapter, and verse.
He is God.So tell me now, who is HE?
- Jesus Christ means "YAHWEH is the savior and the anointed one"
- YAHWEH means "HE is"
- Jesus Christ means "HE is the savior and the anointed one"
now he shifted?, but is that not the same one person?, so explain how he, the ONE PERSON who shifted, was in a G2758 κενόω kenoo state, himself while shifted?...He shifted out of eternity into time...and in doing so He did not cease to dwell in eternity.
I think that I'm not going to be able to explain it to you adequately; you need the illumination of the Holy Spirit to help you with these doctrines.now he shifted?, but is that not the same one person?, so explain how he, the ONE PERSON who shifted, was in a G2758 κενόω kenoo state, himself while shifted?...I cain't believe this, nor wait for the answer...... oh well.... your answer please.

Revelation 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
and who is the Lord? let the bible tell us, John 13:13 "Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am."
WELL, Jesus is "Lord", and he's the Almighty. that prove you in ERROR, for the Bible do say he's the Most High. is the passage clear enough?
now from the Lips of the Lord Jesus, John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." BINGO.
now one MORE, Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:" and form here is Nature, meaning "Spirit".
now g momey... :) is there anyone "EQUAL" with God? if so post scripture, with book, chapter, and verse. well Jesus just told you that he is God, and there is only ONE "GOD".
cain't wait for your answer.
now don't go off on a tanget, just answer my question.... please.
thanks in advance.

my salvation is on the line, an eternity of burning in hell, and yet not one passage that says you must believe Jesus is the Most High or you go to hell. not one passage that says Jesus is the Most High.
First thanks for the reply, second, are you sure it's two? lets see if what you say is true. Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:"look at the beginning of Revo, it was given to Jesus by the Father. there is two of them.
First thanks for the reply, second, give me something to read so the Holy Spirit and I can understand what you believe here. and you can start with your definition of "shifted". looking to hear from you.I think that I'm not going to be able to explain it to you adequately; you need the illumination of the Holy Spirit to help you with these doctrines.
I would suggest asking the Lord to give you the understanding that you need.
It means that God is in two places at one time: eternity and time.First thanks for the reply, second, give me something to read so the Holy Spirit and I can understand what you believe here. and you can start with your definition of "shifted". looking to hear from you.

first thanks for the reply, is this what shifted means? well we already have a definition for that. is not God everywhere?, scripture, Jeremiah 23:23 "Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?"Jeremiah 23:24 "Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD." THAT'S CALLED OMINPRESENT....It means that God is in two places at one time: eternity and time.
and your shifted idea failed,
if you cannot explain something then how do you know it's true?My shifted idea did not fail...you simply failed to understand it.
And I'm not sure that I can explain it to you, either.
You are going to have to ask the Holy Spirit about this one, sorry.
I cannot figure out how to explain it to you because there is an apparent language barrier here.
Also, I think that you are in a mode to argue; so I believe it will be better if you ask the Lord with whom you will not be inclined to argue.
if you cannot explain something then how do you know it's true?
and don't tell me by blind Faith, no, because Faith is not blind. and on top of that the bible is clear, it says we can know... Romans 1:19 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."
Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE.
now unless you have scripture for your shifted theory, then there is no reason to reply.
Remember, Don't argue with 101G, argue with the scriptures, God Holy Word.

You don't accept the scripture in question (John 8:24) at face value.
Does not the name "I AM" have a Hebrew meaning, out of Exodus 3:14?
See John 8:58. Jesus breaks normal grammatical usage to make a claim here.
The scribes and Pharisees understood His claim. They picked up stones to stone Jesus for blasphemy (John 8:59, John 10:31-33).
not what Jesus said, 2nd time now you have misquoted Jesus, He did not say "I am the great I am" in that passage. when you do things like this you lose lots of credibility as a teacher. you ever hear the phrase "egg on your face"?Previous to that, Jesus told them that their acceptance of Him as the great I AM was essential to salvation (John 8:24).
explained aboveIt didn't quite register in their minds at that point. But when he said it a second time (John 8:58), it registered.
What makes Jesus the Father is:
1) He is the Lord (see Ephesians 4:5; Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21; 1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv), 1 Corinthians 8:6).
2) Jesus says to Philip, How is it that you have not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father... in John 14:7-11.
It is not the human Jesus doing the work but the Divine Jesus...the Spirit of Jesus, who is the Father (John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11), is responsible for doing the miracles.
Jesus does not take credit for the miracles in His humanity; He gives all of the credit to the indwelling Father.
GINOLJC, to all,
First thanks for the reply, second, are you sure it's two? lets see if what you say is true. Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:"
well jaybird, that sure seem like it's two people/persons, don't it? but lets break it down and see if it's so. God here, I'm assuming, you're in reference to the Father.... correct.. well in Revelation 1:1 here someone sent his angel to his servant John correct...... now lets see who sent "his" angel to John.
the angel himself tell us who sent him, listen........ the angel who was sent is speaking, Revelation 22:6 "And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done."
ok Jaybird, the angel said, the "Lord God" of the holy prophets sent him. now is the Lord God of the holy prophets, again of the holy prophets, that God, who sent his angel, it the Lord God the "Father, or the Son ho sent the "his" angel. read this again for clarity.
now, was it A. the Father who sent his angel. or B. the son who sen his angel to John........ your answer pleae, just A or B please.

"he" is not identified in that scripture
but it is in this one:
John 4
25The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” 26Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”
IMO you guys get this one wrong.
57So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”d 58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
I am could mean i exist and it could mean Most High. lets try both and see how they look
before Abraham Most High. ok what about the Most High? the statement doesnt seem to make any sense. we can try I am I am which wasnt said but lets try it anyway, before Abraham I am the Most High? only before Abraham? not after? still does not make sense.
now my way:
before Abraham i existed.
what is the context of the discussion, Jesus was to young to have known Abraham, He didnt exist at that time, this is what the pharisees were saying, Jesus responds before Abraham He existed, makes perfect sense.
and blasphemy means profaning the name. i have lost count on how many times i have told you this.
not what Jesus said, 2nd time now you have misquoted Jesus, He did not say "I am the great I am" in that passage. when you do things like this you lose lots of credibility as a teacher. you ever hear the phrase "egg on your face"?
when Jesus teaches over and over about His Father, and the bible tells us over and over about the Son, these things are important. When you say things like Jesus is the Father you undo that Father and Son relationship that is so important.
GINOLJC, to allI know what the truth is in my mind but I don't know how to explain it to you in such a way that you would understand it and/or not argue with the reality of what I know is true.
So I am not going to try. If you want to know the truth, seek the Lord for His revelation on the matter. I'm sure that He can explain it to you better than I can.
But because I lack the words to express the reality does not mean that the reality does not exist.
first thanks for the reply, second, the MOST HIGH is the Lord JESUS. listen, Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:"it says the Most High gave it to Jesus and it doesnt "seem" like it says this, it actually says this verbatim. are you saying the Most High did not give this to Jesus and the passage is an error?
it does not say Father or Son it says Most High. are you wanting me to make a guess? guesses dont really hold water. but if i had to guess i would say the Father because the Father is the only one identified as the Most High. Jesus says His G-D. the Apostels say G-D the Father and our Lord Jesus or His Son Jesus. there is no G-D the Son in scripture.
How does one person give something to another person when they are both the same person?first thanks for the reply, second, the MOST HIGH is the Lord JESUS. listen, Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:"
so I asked, "who sent his angel"... right. well the angel angel answered the question as to who sent him, listen, Revelation 22:6 "And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done."
I have had Many of Scholars who have answerd this question INCORRECT. all have said it was the Father who sent his angel. all of them, even the JW bible, (their NWT), in revelation 22:6 even put in the Name JEHOVAH in for the Lord God of the holy prophets. for they knew the Lord God of the OT was their Jehovah, and the Father for the rest of them who believe in the three person Godhead. well they got a shock when we Pointed out to them who actually sent "his" angel.... listen and Learn... let's see who by name sent "his" angel.... scripture, Revelation 22:16 "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
he made it very clear, "I" sent my, my, angel. see, Jesus is the Lord God of the OT, as well as the NT.......YIKES!.
understand jaybird, what's happening in Revelation 1:1 is not physical, meaning one person gave another person something NATURALLY. no, I say again, NO, this is Spiritual, as with his not knowing his return date. we suggest you read that topic to get some measure of what's going on in Revelation 1:1.
seek out this information in the topic, "Psalms 110:1 ……. contemporary", here is the link
Psalms 110:1 ……. contemporary
SEE POST#2
so no, it's just one person in Revelation 1:1, and in the rest of the book, also see post #38 above also.
