Christianity EtcRe: Is Jesus God? – Logical Questions That Need Answers by Enigma(m): 1:05am On Oct 02, 2012
You said that the title "Alpha and Omega" is exclusive to God the Father.

All I have done is to show you just one example (there are other examples) where the title "Alpha and Omega" is claimed by Jesus.

Now you are singing a different tune!

Answer this question honestly: does Revelation 22:12 use "Alpha and Omega" for Jesus or not?

12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

truthislight: please, dont miss things up, the title as in Alpha and Omega is exclusively for the father/Yahweh . . . .
Revelation 22


12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
1. Who is the person that is coming with His reward that is with Him?

2. Is it God the Father?

3. Or is it Jesus Christ?

4. Is the person who is coming not the one referred to as Alpha and Omega?


So, now tell yourself (and not me),

Christianity EtcRe: Is Jesus God? – Logical Questions That Need Answers by Enigma(m): 9:03am On Oct 01, 2012
To make things easier, here a few simple questions of basic comprehension in relation to the passage.

1. Who is "the God of the spirit of the prophets" who sent his angel?

2. Whos is the person called "the Alpha & Omega"?

3. Who is the person called "the First and the Last"?

4. Who is the person called "the Beginning and the End"?

5. Who is the person that sent His angel to give the testimony for the churches?



(There are many more questions e.g. which testimony and what is the testimony etc etc etc but we don't even need to go that far)

Christianity EtcRe: Is Jesus God? – Logical Questions That Need Answers by Enigma(m): 8:58am On Oct 01, 2012
seriallink: I wonder why they ignore all the biblical evidences presented on this issue everytime!!

Take a look @ 1 Timothy 2:5-6 & a lot of verses that Brother frosbel & others have presented, but they won't address these verses rather they bring other verses to contradict the debate!!

I now clearly see why other religions tag christianity confused!
I know that it is much better to educate people like you; however, it is difficult not to insult people with your kind of attitude or at least it is sometimes necessary to tell you home truths ---- especially when you are telling lies.

1. Why would a "Trinitarian" argue against Bible verses that say Jesus is the Son of God? A Trinitarian BELIEVES those verses!!!!

2. For emphasis a Trinitarian does indeed believe that Jesus is the Son of God?

3. The difference is that in addition to recognising that Jesus is the Son of God, the "Trinitarian" recognises also that Jesus IS God. If you don't understand it, that is a different matter, In fact, we know that that is the problem of most people ----- they do not even understand what they are fighting against!

Now to show you that you are the one guilty of what you are accusing others of: have YOU addressed the verses where the Bible says CLEARLY that Jesus IS God? OK a little test then, here is one passage where the Bible says Jesus is God ----- let us see YOU address it! smiley


Revelation 22 smiley

6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."
12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

Christianity EtcRe: Mr Anony, Enigma, Aletheia, Goshen360: Is The Trinity Foundational To Our Faith? by Enigma(m): 7:51am On Oct 01, 2012
First off, it may be necessary to clarify what is meant by foundational. I will use it in this sense as an important/essential element of understanding even though I know it could be used in a more 'fundamental' sense.

On the one hand the Trinity is foundational to the Christian faith in that the consideration is that even before the 'foundation' (that word again) of the world the God who saw the beginning from the end made plans for redemption. Ultimately, the price involved Him paying the due price Himself.

In the unfolding of this plan, we then have revelation of some of the aspects and nature of God and part of this revelation is that there are three persons in he Godhead or that God consists of The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit ----- or put differently: the Bible says the Father is God, that also the Son is God, that also the Holy Spirit is God. Most crucially, the Bible emphatically maintains that God is ONE.

Thus this is the revelation: God is One and yet God consists of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.


Now to a practical point: let us take an illiterate grandmother or great grandmother in some village or other in Nigeria: she hears preaching that God loves us and wants to redeem us and for this reason sent a person (or say even 'a man') called Jesus to redeem mankind. The Bright Morning Star arises in her heart and never sets. She knows nothing about consubstantiality, Nicene, Athanasius, . . . . . smiley

Ah, let's throw a cheeky one in. This one should be easy for our friends and their "translation" commas etc. To even make it easier, I will use versions that are not mainstream; our friends would then point us to mainstream versions ----- and the translation gyrations will start.

1 John 5:20

(Aramaic Bible in Plain English)
And we know that The Son of God has come and he has given us a mind to know The True One and to be in The True One- in his Son, Yeshua The Messiah. This One is The True God and The Life Eternal.

We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we know the real God. We are in the one who is real, his Son Jesus Christ. This Jesus Christ is the real God and eternal life.

Note the strike-out ^^^ though.
Ah, thanks for the strike out ----- I guess I was thinking too much of the language filter changing Ti.t to bosom and forgot I only needed to write Timothy anyway. grin

Well since we have mentioned our brother Titus why don't we take one from the epistle written to him then?

I guess it would also be another one for "translation", "punctuation", commas, apostrophes, alliteration, onomatopoeia etc etc etc

Ah which version should we use now? Well, let's stick to two of our friends' favourites.

Titus 2:13

NIV
while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ
NLT
while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

One more 'dribbling' for you. Oh, I have also gone to the trouble of selecting two special Bible versions for you. wink

Romans 9:5

And the Patriarchs; and from them The Messiah appeared in the flesh, who is The God Who is over all, to Whom are praises and blessings to the eternity of eternities, amen.
NLT
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are their ancestors, and Christ himself was an Israelite as far as his human nature is concerned. And he is God, the one who rules over everything and is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
I suppose I shouldn't forget your favourite?

NIV
Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

Hebrews 1 (NIV)

8 But about the Son he {i.e. God The Father} says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.

Well, here is some sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and godly teaching ----- do you agree to them?


Revelation 22 smiley

@frosbel

Oh, one more thing.

If you were wrong when you wrote that "Jesus is God" ---- do you remember that the same way you were going about that fervently is the way you are going about your new "revelation" fervently.

If you were misleading people then, what makes you think you are not misleading people now?

If you were shipwrecking people's faith then , what makes you think you are not shipwrecking people's faith now?

If you were teaching people pagan doctrines then, what makes you think you are not teaching people pagan doctrines now?


You need to check yourself ------ above all things, I think for ignorance and pride.

Two more things for you to think about and I hope you will really think!

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him.
1 Timothy 6
3 If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5 and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Jesus God? – Logical Questions That Need Answers by Enigma(m): 11:21am On Sep 27, 2012
frosbel: Because God is not 3 but 1 , expressed as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The concept of Trinity , where we have a godhead with the Father as the head, Son in the middle and Holy Spirit at the bottom is just plain false and not at all biblical.

Jesus Christ is the express image of the person of GOD , He is the radiance of God's glory, He is the Alpha and Omega , he is GOD.

"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven." - Hebrews 1:3

He only became a little lower than the father because he humbled himself as a man to die for our sins. This is the great mystery.

You will ask me , if Jesus was GOD , then where was the father.

Answer :

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?[/b]Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."


"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: [b]God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
" - 1 Timothy 3:16

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6


Look at this striking comparison between Christ and God , from the new testament and old testament.

New Testament :

"The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters." - Revelation 1:14

“As I looked,thrones were placed,and the Ancient of Days took his seat;his clothing was white as snow,and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;its wheels were burning fire.A stream of fire issued and came out from before him;a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;the court sat in judgment,and the books were opened." - Daniel 7:9

Goshen360: My dearest brother. I will NEVER continue this debate with you. Like I said in my comment above, If the bible calls the Father God, Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit God.....I don't think I have problem with that sir. If it is the word "Trinity" that doesn't appear in the bible, that's fine but for me to fight against bible truth, I will NEVER do it.
This is a very interesting point. I also tried to make this point in a different way when I did a thread called "The Trinity --- A Simple Test" https://www.nairaland.com/872248/trinity-simple-test

The opening post of that thread asked the following questions:

1. Do you believe that God is ONE?

2. Do you believe that The Father is God?

3. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God?

4. Do you believe that the Holy Spirit is God?
I am now very convinced that these are the central questions that should always be put in the forefront. For a start, most people do not really know/understand the Nicene-Constantinople Trinity formulations considering that the details (especially on 'consubstantiality') can appear complex and technical.

Also, sticking to what can readily be seen in the Bible itself has the advantage of simplicity and hopefully greater "believability".

So, even I am willing to dwell less on the word "trinity" (and have always tried not to go into the Nicene complexities on this Board); as both Goshen and that my old thread suggested, if the fact that the word "trinity" is not in the Bible is a stumbling block, I am happy to focus only on what the Bible says.

OK then for frosbel especially, the Bible says the following, please now try and deal with it. wink

Revelation 22 smiley

6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."
12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Christianity EtcRe: The Trinity (true Or False). The Love Perspective. by Enigma(m): 12:18am On Sep 27, 2012
Somehow something (probably frosbel's Trinity antics) linked this thread in my mind with the following song (which I've actually posted elsewhere before).

The title *and first line) is also sometimes given as: Of the Father's Love Begotten. wink


1. Of the Father's heart begotten,
Ere the world began to be,
Called the Alpha and Omega,
Both the source and end is He
Of all things that are,
that ever have been,
And that future years shall see,
Evermore and evermore!

2. O that birth forever blessed!
When the Virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race;
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed His sacred face,
Evermore and evermore!

3. O ye heights of Heav'n, adore Him;
Angel hosts, his praises sing;
Pow'rs, dominions, bow before Him,
And extol our God and King;
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Ev'ry voice in concert ring,
Evermore and evermore!

Enigma you keep twisting scripture like a snake , how deceptive grin grin
But why do you tell lies like this? huh All I have done is set out scripture ---- I have provided no interpretation so how could I be "twisting" scripture?

If your problem is that you don't like the version, bear in mind I have used NIV ----- very deliberately because, I think it is the one you support above the KJV. In any event, why don't we work with what you supplied in your post (please confirm what version it is)

So OK --- using what you supplied.

6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”
16“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” - 22:6-17
First of all, if you let me have the version of the Bible, I will like to add one more verse.

OK then, please clarify:

1. Is it one person sending an angel in those two verses?

2. Or is it two persons sending angels?

3. Was one angel sent?

4. Or were two angels sent?

5. Was the angel in each case sent to/through John?

6. Or was one angel sent to/through John while the other was not sent to/through John?
