Christianity EtcRe: @frosbel, Who Is Jesus Christ? (re: A Proposition For Theological Debate) by Goshen360(m): 1:58pm On Oct 10, 2012
frosbel: [size=15pt]Only God has been eternal without beginning, Jesus Christ had a beginning.[/size]

Scripture makes it clear that Jesus became God's Son through begettal through the Holy Spirit power of the Father overshadowing Mary, causing her to "conceive."
Goshen360: Third, you just made a heretic statement that Jesus had beginning. This has constituted your recent attack that made you say he is NOT God. Let's start to test your statement with scriptures....I start with first scripture and you can explain to us how Jesus had beginning - Hebrews 7:3

New International Version (©1984)
Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.

Now @ Frosbel, we will mind to tell us what you understand by this scripture huh
Frosbel, where are you ooooooooooooooooooo

@ Enigma and Frosbel,

Please, let's stop personal attack and insults. Let's handle the word with grace given unto us and be mature in our dealings/talking to one another. There is no need for insult and personal attack in order to teach the truth and lay down evidence. We are all adults, please. Thank you.
Christianity EtcRe: Put Your Hard Questions For Trinitarian Theologians Enigma , Goshen & Company by Goshen360(m):
frosbel: You are answering questions with more questions of your own ?

Lol, answer our questions first !!
Bros, when and how did I answer kweshion wif kweshion huh I have simply stated what the bible says and this is what I intend to defend. If we can PROVE the Father is God from the bible, Jesus God and the Holy Spirit God, then you will understand better at the end. The question of "How this, how that" will then be answered. You are not the first person that God will defile his/her logic - Mary had once asked, How can this be since I don't know a man? However, I will enter logic and scriptural debate with you when we start to prove the bible wrong. Again,

Does the Bible teach/says and calls the Father God?
Does the Bible teach/says and calls Jesus Christ God?
Does the Bible teach/says and calls the Holy Spirit God?
Christianity EtcRe: Put Your Hard Questions For Trinitarian Theologians Enigma , Goshen & Company by Goshen360(m): 6:26am On Oct 10, 2012
frosbel: My first 2 questions :


1. How could only the second person of the Trinity become a man, and not the other two persons in light of the Trinitarian doctrine of the
perichoresis of persons? How can the Father and Spirit only indwell Jesus (as it is commonly stated), while the eternal Son is actually Jesus'
essential deity? How can one separate the persons like that without confessing three gods, only one of which became incarnated, and the
other two just tag along? If it was the eternal Son who became a man, and not the Father or Spirit, then why did Jesus not state this?

2. Paul said Jesus is the image of the invisible God. Jesus said that those who saw Him saw the Father (obviously not the essence of the Father, for no man can see God's essence no matter if He is one or three persons). Never does He state that they were seeing the image of the incarnated eternal Son.. If Jesus is the 'second person' made flesh, then why didn't He ever say "he who has seen me has seen the Son"? Why not "he who has seen me has seen the Holy Spirit"? Why is it only the Father? If Jesus' deity is the eternal Son, in contradistinction to the Father and Spirit, why would Jesus say that they have seen the Father by seeing Him, rather than seeing the Son? Jesus indicated that to see Him was to see the person who sent Him [Father] (John 12:45)
ijawkid: Lol.....

.....I just don't know what to ask trinitarians anymore......

But let me just ask them this again....:::

If Jesus was 100% GOD and 100 %man when on earth,how come did he not know when the end will come......??

Just this singular question can make a trinitarian run around the whole place trying to explain why and how the (human body) God had was an impediment to his all-knowingness....

Forgetting they said Jesus was fully God and man at the same time.....
.......
Contradiction and confusion @ its peak....
frosbel: There is not one prayer or song or exclamation addressed to the Holy Spirit in the Bible, neither is there one precept in all the Bible authorizing such prayer or song. Nowhere in Scripture are we told to love,honour, or worship the Holy Spirit, or to pray to it for assistance. Why, if it is a person, like the Father and His Son?

In the hymns of adoration recorded in Revelation, the Father and Son are mentioned but not the Holy Spirit. Why is reference to the Holy Spirit omitted if the Spirit is a third person of a triune God?

Rev.5:13 says: "Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him (the Father) who sits upon the throne, and to the lamb (Jesus) forever and ever." Also
Rev.7:10: "Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne,and to the lamb."


Why is there no reference to the Holy Spirit in these hymns of adoration if it is a co-equal member of the Spirit omitted? The Bible frequently pictures the Father sitting upon His throne and Jesus sitting or standing at His right hand, but never refers to the Holy Spirit sitting on the throne with them, either on the left hand or elsewhere.

If the Holy Spirit is a separate person from the Father and Son, why is there never any mention of him being enthroned or reigning with them? The Father and Son are often associated together in judgement and redemption, and the coming kingdom is referred to as the kingdom of God and His Christ (Rev.11:15), but the Holy Spirit is omitted. Why?

In 1 Cor.11:3 we read: "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." Now here is a specific order presented by the apostle Paul which he says he wants us to know about. He refers to woman, man,Christ and God, but makes no mention of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is a person like the Father, Son, man and woman, and belongs to this "family" as a separate person, why is he left out?
plappville: My Question is this, Does Jesus now know when he is coming back?, because trinitarians claim He didnt know because He was Man when he said so.

(Matt. 24:36), "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

And is there a verse in the bible that said because Jesus was a man, He cannot know all? Yet some christians claim Christ is "all knowing"?
Boomark: With the work we have been doing, i know most of them are now getting the gist.

Most might be wondering "how can these things be true." when they don't have any thing to disprove it. Like i said before, it is a win win for all of us. It is to the glory of God if you believe the truth our lord Jesus Christ brought to us. That shows that you have faith and trust in our lord Jesus.

That time i use to read 1COR15:27-28 again and again as i can change something there to suit what i believe, but i can't.

Why did Jesus say that the Father is greater than I?
Clue! Check Corinthians above.
Pastor Kun: Apparently trinitarians are trying to tell us Jesus is a liar cos Jesus made it clear on several occasions in very clear terms that the father is greater than him and he can do nothing without the father. If only trinitarians know how much damage and ridicule they have brought to christianity maybe they would recant their steps. For instance prior to the start of islam christianity was the prevalent religion in the middle east. One of the things that made people turn against it was the ridiculous trinity doctrine, mohamed the founder of the Islamic faith who also believed in christ biggest problem with christian teaching then was trinity. If not for the ridiculous doctrine he might not even have started his on religion and maybe all the crisis we are having in the middle east and northern Nigeria today would not be happening.
Y'all SAVE ALL your questions. Trinity or no Trinity and let's start by proving the word. Hence, proving all thing or else we all make the bible a liar.

Does the Bible teach/says and calls the Father God?
Does the Bible teach/says and calls Jesus Christ God?
Does the Bible teach/says and calls the Holy Spirit God?


New International Version (©1984)
Test everything. Hold on to the good.

New Living Translation (©2007)
but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.......1 Thessalonians 5:21

If we can prove the above three questions.....we can then come to a reasonable conclusion that we know in parts and should be able to educate ourselves biblically.
Christianity EtcRe: Put Your Hard Questions For Trinitarian Theologians Enigma , Goshen & Company by Goshen360(m): 5:57am On Oct 10, 2012
My job here just like my brother Enigma and I believe and stand by same bible truth. I am not here to defend the word "Trinity" as it is NOT found in the bible but the concept is what I will defend as a bible truth. The concept says (if you permit me, without the use of the word "Trinity"), The Father is God, Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is God. If Frosbel is attacking Trinity as a doctrine because the word doesn't appear in the bible, that is fine and okay with me BUT what I wont watch Frosbel attack is the deity of Christ and the Holy Spirit as God. This is what I intend to defend here on this thread.

frosbel: Goshen and Enigma, can you kindly respond to this THREAD

I think it's quite arrogant of you to avoid the over 11 questions posed to you without one response in the last few days, and expect me to spend my precious time responding to your scriptural perceptions. Show some courage smiley

Therefore forgive me , especially for the sake of time , if I only respond to Mr. Anony as I will be doing over the next few days.

Mr.Anony , let us continue tomorrow, a little late now for detailed response.

Thank You
There is nothing arrogant about avoiding the post. You just recently added my I.d. to that post. I have honoured your invitation. Get ready to get swim in scriptures. You have called on the giant in me......I will give it to you. cheesy. See you on that thread and this one also.

Christianity EtcRe: @frosbel, Who Is Jesus Christ? (re: A Proposition For Theological Debate) by Goshen360(m): 10:40pm On Oct 09, 2012
frosbel: Let me quote John 1 v14.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus Christ is the word manifested in the FLESH

Christ is the personification of GOD's WORD

Only God has been eternal without beginning, Jesus Christ had a beginning.

"And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." - Hebrew 1:6

Scripture makes it clear that Jesus became God's Son through begettal through the Holy Spirit power of the Father overshadowing Mary, causing her to "conceive."
First, I had to quote you because I will later use your words against you.

Second, Who is this "Word" that became flesh? What was he called in John 1:1-2? Your error is that you take Christ as literal or spoken word. If this is what you interpret, then you yourself can as well speak the literal God's word from the bible and let's see if it becomes flesh (human). The "W"ord with uppercase "W" is a name or title of Christ in heaven WITH GOD, which the NT calls the Father before the Father sent him into the world (earth).

Third, you just made a heretic statement that Jesus had beginning. This has constituted your recent attack that made you say he is NOT God. Let's start to test your statement with scriptures....I start with first scripture and you can explain to us how Jesus had beginning - Hebrews 7:3

New International Version (©1984)
Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.

New Living Translation (©2007)
There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors--no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the Son of God.

Now @ Frosbel, we will mind to tell us what you understand by this scripture huh

ATMC: ...but bible called him king of salem ie peace and called christ prince of peace, then christ said god is his father...and i ask is a prince not d son of a king? If yes, could it be dt melchizedek is a mystery?
He is NOT a mystery. He was divinely set apart to foreshadow Christ as a type just like First Adam was also a type and Eve was a type of the church. He was the first King and Priest and this was fulfilled in Christ. Believers are also King and Priest taking after Christ. Like I said earlier, Melchizedek was used as a type in two different ways by the writer of Hebrews,
Goshen360: Also, Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 was used by the writer in two ways namely:

1. The Historic Melchizedek and

2. The Prophetic Melchizedek

Frosbel, na wha for you o. I cant seems to figure out your recent attack on the deity of Christ. From the mouth of two or three witnesses, the truth will be established. More than three scriptures calls Jesus Christ God. What then is your problem with that? I think you need to re-assess your recent attack on the deity of Christ.

Goshen, do you see how sweet teaching the truth is?

Good job.

The father mother issue is with regard to his priesthood, be a priest not by heridetery, from father to son just like christ, a direct appointment by God.

Handshake guy!
Brother.....haven't I been teaching the truth? Just because we disagree on "some" issues doesn't mean we both lie. It means we both presented the evidence of a subject based on our knowledge which is progressive; for the scripture says we know in part. We should learn to listen to one another. You are welcome my brother.
Christianity EtcRe: Haters Of Grace - How The Law Keepers Deny Christ By Exalting The Law by Goshen360(op): 3:32am On Oct 09, 2012
Rom 8:3-9, 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: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace. Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

We are not ministers of the law- your 2,000 years too late. Look at what we are told to be ministers of

"who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?" (2 Cor 3:6-8 )

Religion is always threatened by Jesus' teaching on grace, it challenges our work to be righteous. Any additions destroy God's grace toward us, and adding the law that was made obsolete certainly is that which destroys grace.
Christianity EtcRe: Haters Of Grace - How The Law Keepers Deny Christ By Exalting The Law by Goshen360(op): 3:26am On Oct 09, 2012
But they like the Judiazers wanted to add Christ to what is established, even though Jesus said he did not come to pour new wine into old wineskins. Do they know that they are rejecting his work by insisting that the Sabbath must be kept along with the other laws? Some do; their leaders certainly do, many of the followers do not.

Heb 7:12 "For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law."

The change of the law was necessary - how, why?

Because there was a new covenant that did AWAY with the OLD covenant. Heb. 8:13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." If you believe in the gospel you are attached by a covenant to a whole new system. The gospel is found in the Old Testament but it is hidden, as a mystery until it was revealed by the apostles. So we have a different system to live by. We had to wait for the one to come who fulfilled all the law and the prophecies. It is He who takes us out from under the law and its penalties and put us in Christ and in grace.
Christianity EtcRe: Haters Of Grace - How The Law Keepers Deny Christ By Exalting The Law by Goshen360(op): 3:23am On Oct 09, 2012
The Pharisees, law keepers hated the new covenant introduced by the one they crucified. One of the main reasons is because it opened it up to the Gentiles. They want to reject 2/3 of the New Testament because of their prejudice against grace found in Y'shua. Much like the heretic Marcion did in the beginning of the church. They love the law over the one who gave the law and made the new covenant of grace.

Luke 24: Jesus refers to the Scripture, telling them because he died and rose again, repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." And then tells them he will send the Promise of the Father, they are to wait in the city of Jerusalem." It began among the people that first rejected Jesus.

In the book of Acts we a see a transition of those being under the law to grace, from the old covenant to the New Covenant. We are told Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ- law keepers do not want grace or truth because grace means one would be in the new covenant without the Old Testament laws and the truth means they would disregard the old covenant to hold to the new by the gospel.
Christianity EtcHaters Of Grace - How The Law Keepers Deny Christ By Exalting The Law by Goshen360(op): 3:21am On Oct 09, 2012
There are those who are very vocal about Paul being a false apostle. There reason is that he no longer adhered to the law and taught grace. That he was liar and was inventing false religion. Even though Luke records that Barnabas took him into the church. Did Luke lie in the book of Acts about the churches history and Paul's influence? Then Peter lied when he wrote in his second epistle 2 Pet 3:15-16 saying,

And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

They say Paul was false but the fact is they are the liars. The Jews continued to live under the law that rejected the new covenant under their messiah Y'shua. Despised and rejected by his own, of whom Saul was once one of them. "Saul... filled with the Holy Spirit.... Immediately he preached the Christ in their own synagogues. And this was soon after Stephen was killed by the Jews, Saul was also present consenting to his death.

No, he is NOT God Almighty.....he is a MAN that was used and positioned in the divine act to foreshadow Christ as a type in the OT just like Joseph, Moses, Adam etc.

English Standard Version (©2001)
See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! Heb. 7:4

matrix789: Heb 7:3
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

HE HAS NO BEGINNING AND ENDING. So who is HE?
Without genealogy is the key here. In Israel, when someone doesn't have a genealogy, such is considered without father, without mother, having neither beginning of days (birth) nor end of life (death). But was made LIKE the son of God, Jesus Christ. He is NOT Jesus Christ also but a type of Christ as he foreshadows Christ in the sense of being a Priest and King at the same time. In Israel, no king is priest and no priest is king at the same time but this MAN was. But Jesus in his human form or nature has genealogy, has beginning of days (birth record) and also record of death. The reference to "but made like the son of God" is to the eternity of Christ because in Christ eternal nature, Christ doesn't have beginning nor end of life.

Elohim said to his son::::let us make man in our own image...

If Jesus is in that elohim in genesis 1:26,[size=20pt]then Elohim(triune Godhead) must have been talking to the angels.....[/size]

Elohim in genesis 1:1 exclusively is reffered to Yahweh the almighty...

If not genesis 1:1 should have read ""in the beginning (Gods) created the heaven and earth"".......

Hope u get my point??

The jewish people never for once thought that elohim in genesis 1:1 was a host of Gods making 1 God.....no way goshen....
Haaaaaaa, So angels did creation or participated in creation right.....You need to use scriptures to prove "IT MUST HAVE BEEN TALKING TO ANGELS". You confidently can say the "us" in Genesis 1:26 is Christ and yet Yahweh MUST have been talking to Angels huh That's Interesting! Where was it recorded that Angels did Create WITH God, Yahweh. huh

You and I know who an agent is(that's why the word ""through"" is used)....

While Jesus was the agent ,Yahweh gets all the glory in everything,because he is the over all source of life.......

I can confidently say that the us in genesis 1:26 primarily refers to Jesus.......

God(Yahweh) said that to his son who he used as his agent............

So you see my point on the ""elohim"" issue.??

You gotta be consistent brother......
You and I will dance round and come back to the truth. Now you said, "I can confidently say that the us in genesis 1:26 primarily refers to Jesus......." This matter is very simple to the truth of the bible. The same truth I tried to use John 1:1 to prove abi you need kain ni.....since John 1:1 identified 2 God to us in creation, the Elohim as USED in Genesis 1:1 will then mean plural of person more than also plural of majesty since the same is used in Genesis 1:26 and you say He is Jesus and john 1:1 tells us this Jesus (Word) is God according to John 1:1......Send me email, make I give you suprise int'l call NOW. grin.

ijawkid: You can't just pick out genesis 1:1 and forfeit the rest 34 places where this same elohim is used in the creation verses......

That won't be context anymore.....

In genesis 1:26 you love so much we find out that ""elohim"" said,let us make man in our own image....

If the elohim which is in plural form that was used in genesis 1:1 is the same used in genesis 1:26 then I wonder who was the God who made that statement......

If according to your assertion elohim in genesis 1:1 means (three Gods) ,then how do u tally that with genesis 1:26??

Who is the God(elohim in plural) and who are the us??

My problem is we both agree that Jesus was the agent through which creation took place,but don't ascribe a triune Godhead to the elohim mentioned @ genesis 1:1....it doesn't fit bro......

Yahweh who is the 1 true God over all is whom genesis 1:1 is directed to....
Okay if it was Yahweh that is the God that Genesis 1:1 is directed to, then you also need to answer the question.....who are the "us" in verse 26 huh I don't know you best to communicate my thought to you. Creation is NOT ascribes to ONLY Yahweh. We just read in Colossians and John 1:3 that ALL THINGS are made THROUGH Christ and also the Father, Yahweh, How then do we ascribe creation to ONLY the Father? Huh, HOW?

@ plappville sweerie,

I get your message. Herein is the issue. First since you believe Jesus is divine. I might not have much issue with you unless you also want to enter a debate with me on the deity of Christ. My issue with Frosbel is denying the deity of Christ and the title of this thread says "Jesus, A Real Human Being". This same Jesus was presented to us in many different aspects in the Gospel. John presented him as God who BECAME a human to reveal the Father and give us eternal life. He is NOT the Father but was from the Father and he was called God. Luke presented as the "son of man" tracing his genealogy to Adam. When he "became" human, taking human nature is where and when he is called the Son of God. When God begat, he begat one like himself. That is why we believers are also called the sons of God. We carry God in our new birth and spiritual being even though we walk human on earth.
