deSika: bro it should not be a problem. Having three personalities does not mean confusionI have never in my life called Jesus God the son.....never ever...... Please when Jesus said he and the Father are one what do you think he actually meant??..... John 17:20-23 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. The above verse describes what ever Christ meant when he said I and the Father are one..........he wasn't refering to an ontological oneness if not we all would be GOD the almighty too are part of the GODhead........ Because of Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Him,so Jesus could rightly say if you've seen me you've seen the Father......Jesus was a representative of the Father........ Now the truth is we are also in both Jesus and the Father.....that should even make higher than the both of them(Jesus and the Father)........... Jesus being refered to as Immanuel in no way means it is God himself who is with us literally speaking.......its a name he'll bear because he was sent by God and would do Gods work by bringing comfort to peoples........ We have persons in bible times who had answered names like Eli′athah which means " God Has Come'"............... The role such persons play is the reason why they are given such names not because it is who the person is....... No man hath seen GOD(The Father) and so he sends his representatives who we can see and not die........ And expressions like God the son and God the holy spirit do not exist in the scriptures........what exists is just God the Father alone...... Am I lying??..... |
deSika: aha so you are saying God the father has given Jesus the ability to create and so he invites Jesus to come join him create man.But how can we reason if we were not bestowed with such abilities.....can God reason with animals or plants??..... What do you understand by the word GODhead??....what does it mean??..... Please define it......Jesus being given that power to create does not make him equal to God.......its like saying God giving Jesus the authority and power to rule makes Jesus equal with the one who gave him authority...... |
deSika: chief, all you need to do is to engage a little reasoning.Yes all the parties involved including God could reason...right??....... But are these thinkers all personalities of GOD??...... God has given us the ability to reason.....and so he invites us to reason with him....... Apply this to Jesus as regards creation............... |
deSika: @IjawkidThe bolded is my problem......Jesus is not part of the personality of GOD,Jesus is a person distinct from his Father(GOD)..... Jesus was given power to serve as Gods agent for creation.....remember that Jesus was granted to have life in himself....... The moment you say God has 3 personalities then you're saying God is confused....... And when you say God who do you mean??....... |
deSika: this was what you saidOk let me go straight to the point...... God must have been talking to his firstborn son who was with him before man was created.....no running arounds....this is my answer...God is not one suffering from multiple personality disorder.......and the almighty is 1 person,1 being,the Father....make no mistake about it..... The bolded is where the confusion comes.... they are not different from the person speaking but yet they are disctinct personalities The above is the madness the trinity profers which has infact tarnished God the Father.......... God is not a confused psychopath so as to have different personalities............ God is the Father alone...... All he does is give authority to his son to take part in creation,judging,ressurection.ruling etc....... The above madness is the reason why u can't understand why Jesus doesn't know the day and hour but only the Father knows..... They are both different persons with different wills(though the son has to agree with his Father and do his will)....... |
deSika: . The question is did Jesus at any time have a spirit nature. Yes. Did Jesus at anytime have a human nature. YES. How many natures are there. 2You are insinuating Jesus' memory was halfed??.......right??..... he knew angels didn't know the day and hour including himself but only the Father knew....... You might just be infering that Jesus didn't know himself....... Now the question is:::: is Jesus really the Jesus who pre-existed??.......should I believe Jesus' words since his human nature must have affected his decisions and sayings??..... I stick to the Fact that Jesus had his memory from heaven intact and that infcat he did not knw the day and hour but only the one invisible God the Father...... |
deSika: i see you have a problem with the no 3. Subsequently i will show you why its 3.May I inform you that I believe Jesus took part in creation....but was Gods agent...... So in verse 27 it won't be contradictory if it is said God created man in his own image..... Because he is the ultimate source.... Even Jesus is the image of that one invisible GOD the Father....... All of us are image of that one invisible God the Father..... |
deSika: bro for Jesus to have been a spirit and then later become a man. Thats dual natureBut he wasn't spirit on earth na....abi??...... And you didn't answer the bolded.... |
deSika: but you saw the words 'us' and 'our' .Naaaa......God remains a spirit and one that can't be seen..... God is one 1 person the Father........ When God says Us he was definitely talking to someone who wasn't a part of himself but someone who is a distinct person(s) from Him...... It could have bEen 1 billion persons.... |
deSika: by throw away i meant to discard, to cease to have the attributes of spirit being again. But of course you know that Jesus had some spirit being attributes. No man has the ability to know the thoughts of other men but Jesus had this ability.My point is Jesus was a 100 percent man when on earth and not some combo..... Having his memory intact doesn't mean he had a dual nature at that moment..... Jesus remained flesh and blood for complete 33 and a half yrs and never did he dematerialize or become a spirit at any instant........ Jesus before his death didn't have that ability like angels do to materialize and dematerialize....hope you now understand when I say Jesus didn't have a dual nature..... Yeah Jesus had that ability to read the minds of people and had his memory intact like I said.... So why do you and your colleagues disagree with Jesus when he says the day and hour he doesn't know but only the Father??..... |
deSika: because its what the bible shows us.From genesis I can't see where it says there 3 persons......I just can't see it...... Why must God be confined to just 3 persons??....why not 10,4 or 7 billion??..... Why 3??......... |
And you made a good point when you said God is a spirit.....if Jesus on earth could make that statement when everyone could see him and touch him then ofcourse he wasn't the God he was talking about...... |
deSika: playing around with words huh, you wouldnt say throw it away, what would you then say. Its either he threw it away or he retained it. If you cant say he threw it away then permit me to put it to you that he retained it and if he did not throw it away it means he has a dual natureLmao.....where him throw way am go??....for dust bin??.......God transfered his life into marys womb......and became no longer a spirit but flesh and blood....... If Christ had a dual nature intact he wouldn't have had blood flowing in his veins.... deSika: you seem to put Jesus on the same plane with men. Pls clarify on this. Is this what you are saying. That Jesus is same as every other man and had no distinguishing spirit attributes while on earth .I said Jesus was a spirit being when in heaven........on earth God made him lower than angels(no more spirit) to be flesh and blood....... But Jesus was perfect....... deSika: By the way am sure you realise that there are things Jesus did and said that no man has the ability to do or say. So i dont know why you keep equating Jesus with man. And i dont know why you refuse to see Jesus as having the nature of man and the nature of God [remember GOD is a spirit]Jesus had his memory intact......what Jesus wasn't when on earth was that he was a spirit and then man at the same time...... His Life or existence was not a different one......it was his body that was different...his past and all his memories were intact....... Jesus when on earth was a perfect man...I'm only saying he was flesh and blood...he had to be like his brothers(US)..... |
deSika: Bonus questionWhat you failed to ask yourself is why isn't God quadruple or decuple??....why is it the triology??....... |
deSika: are you saying Jesus threw away his spiritual being nature while on earth.I wouldn't say throw it away.....he was made by God to be lesser than the angels who were spirits so that he could be flesh and blood.........God who made him lower was the same God who exalted him back to being a spirit being after his work was done here on earth.... deSika: oh sorry, you didnt say being in your first response. so you are saying we are all sons of God, including the prostitutes, armed robbers. is that what you are sayingLol........when the armed robbers repent they become his sons.......but by default just as adam was Gods son so are we...... deSika: if someone can have two natures does that not make him dual natured. or what else is the meaning of dual nature if not to have double nature as you have just explained.Like man does not have dual nature....... We are flesh and blood completely...... It is either one is a spirit or flesh and blood....not both..... |
Itsfacts: this man dont know what unity meansHave you compared isaiah 61:1 to really know what that scripture means or it is saying??...... King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; The above verse from isaiah that is brought is to show how people are sent by Gods spirit.......they are annointed with Gods spirit to do Gods work....... Please I hope you do know the person who was sent in that verse well in advance is cyrus.....whose hands God would use to bring the chaldeans down...... Long in advance God had purposed who would exhonorate his people and send thwm back to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem..... Please read the 2 preceding verses...... 14-15 14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear ; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 15 I, even I, have spoken ; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous . Please compare isaiah 41:2, 44:28, 45:1,13 ,46:11...... |
Itsfacts: see this man you use the bible add to it. and yet you blame KJV for what? the things that is added in your bible is only done to change the meaning to fit your doctrineAnd I laugh...... Please open to 1 john 5:7 on your KJV and look everybody in the eye and tell us if that excerpt ever existed in the original greek manuscript....... Please..... Your colleagues quoted from it ,I decided not to interject with the fact that it is an addition...... I continued with your colleagues in the discussion... And then I asked them... When that excerpt says ;; and the witnesses in heaven are The Father,Christ and the holy ghost,and these 3 are 1..... One what??..... Till today nobody don answer me...... You think the KJV is the most holy rendition??...... |
My question to all trinitarians........ Which is the inspired translation which fell down from heaven.......... Benalvino is sneakily trying to confine everyone to the KJV which is fraudulent at its best........ The JW's cross check with all bible renditions from time to time to teach nothing but the truth....... I would even blame the KJV onlyist who have proudly stuck to one bible rendition even when it is known that this same bible rendition has got its load of errors....... The NWT is just like anyother rendition with simplified english....easy to read and has in place where the tetragrammaton was fraudulently removed ages ago......... All bible renditions as far as the whole community of those who claim to be christians are concerned are open to criticism.......starting from the KJV which did not exist in the times of william tyndale.......... |
deSika: ok so he was not a man while on earth?He was a man while on earth.....100 percent man like adam.......but perfect...... deSika: so can i say that everything that God formed and created is God's son. the earth was also created by God is it also Gods son. the birds.... i can go on and on.Beings bro...... Persons....... Starting from Jesus,to the angels and to man........ deSika: ok do you agree then that Jesus has a dual nature. and can be said to be 100% man and 100% spiritual being.Jesus' nature isn't dual the way you think of it....... It was only when Jesus came to the earh through a woman that he became 100 percent man....there was never a time when he was dual.......when he was on earth he was 100 percent man(perfect),when in heaven he is a spirit being like the Father and all other angels........... |
deSika: 1. Who do you say Jesus is?a man or a spiritual beingA spiritual being like his Father and like the other angels.... deSika: 2. When you say Jesus is the son of God. What do you mean..He was formed,produced by God...and by virtue of that God is his Father and he is Gods son... deSika: 3. Did Jesus exist in heaven before coming to earth.YES... deSika: 4. If answer to no 3 is yes, then was Jesus a man while in heaven.He was a spirit in heaven...... |
benalvino: why don't you like answering question? where is it in my front? when I ask you question you will take for ever to answer it.When it is said the mountains are brought forth by GOD what does it mean??...... And from everlasting to everlasting God remains GOD...... Read psalm 90:2 it gives me retort... King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Please after brought forth,the synonyms of it was used in the nex bolded.... And I agree...God is from everlasting to everlasting...... |
Ok the KJV uses beginning of the creation of GOD....... It even suits me..... Let's get along........ How does the above exempt Jesus from being Gods creation?? |
benalvino: not by God, but of GodBut you say KJV na...... You said let's go by the KJV.....this is the KJV version....... Which one u dey again??... |
benalvino: dodge my question again... I answered u with I don't know but still I will compare the words. I asked you againThe answer is in front of you...... How are the mountians brought forth??...... Not until we conclude that this wisdom in proverbs 8:22-30 was created or formed would I answer your question.... You dodged by saying the KJV never used born,give birth or form in proverbs 8:23-25...... Let us get down with that....... You even quoted from psalms from the KJV...and it used brought forth.... If you don't know what brought forth means when applied to creation are you ready to learn?? |
benalvino: don't worry I will show them the greek words and use example. they have been thought not to think out of the boxOk let's consider Jesus being the beginning of the creation by GOD..... Please... KJV time...oya..... |
benalvino: I don't... you have been know for this. I thought I know you better but mr anony might know how you behave more when it comes to debate... like he mentioned KJV is true today if it supports u and when it doesn't its a bad translation... every one knows that about you now. we are only saying stick with one or 2 stop jumping from 1 to the other.Ok now let's do it the KJV way......I don't care what anony says about me.... Is the Father under the authority of the son??....... Answer.... I'm up with the KJV..... Let's get it started...... |
benalvino: I don't know... it has nothing to do with proverbs...How can you say u don't know what it means when it is said the moutains were brought forth??........ KJV said wisdom was brought forth before the earth was.....right??..... Proverbs 8:24 King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Psalm 90:2 King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Please you have to explain it...don't you dare say you don't know..... You can't just assume words when we are dealing with creation here...... Let us finish the creation issue here...... Because my job is to first of all make you know the wisdom in question was created......... Please dwell on brought forth.....now let's use the KJV..... |
honeychild: O.k. o. Revelation 3:14- and to the angel of the church of Laodecia write: These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, [/b] the Beginning of the creation by God[b] - New King James VersionThe man/boy na mumu....... They have dodged firstborn definition till they have become confused...... Now the beginning of the creation by GOD is what benalvino and every single one of them can't explain but yet they keep yapping....... |
He now condemns all other translations except the KJV........ ......And back to the throne issue.... How is davids throne still the same as Gods throne??...... You rigmaroled through it with no answer.. Is it not obvious that since Jesus is giving power and invited to sit with God on his throne then Gods own throne is excepted from the thrones which God created through Jesus??........ How amazing how you have rjected the linking word. "through"........ May I ask you..... Is the Father under the authority of the son??........ |
Bidam: Another error here Jesus firstborn is over all creation and not of creation.Go read other renditions and stop being fixated over one just to score a cheap point.Beginning of Gods creation nkor??....... ya eye blind......??... .... |
benalvino: taking words out of context with psalms 90:1-3... I have told you several times... stop quoting this verse saying they link. na wa for you o? see the psalm 90:1-3Please from the kjv u quoted on psalm 90:2.... What does the mountains being brought forth mean??......... You evaded that text to still delude yourself........ And what do you think the hebrew word that was used in psalms 90;2 and proverbs 8:24 connote??..... Please what does it mean when it is said the mountains were brought forth??..... Oya let us consider the KJV together!.......... Since you have become a KJV onlysist........ Explain what It means when the mountains was brought forth.... ...... |
Bidam: Exactly which also agrees with the synopsis of John 1:1. The problem with these guys is they hardly study. They just swallow anything they see in Awake magazines and come here to argue for arguing sake. Don't you see that they quote KJV whenever it suits them as per this firstborn issue, But when KJV says " God was made manifest in the flesh" they immediately jump to the NIV.Chei..... Abeg look at proverbs... Proverbs 8:25... New International Version (©2011) before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, New Living Translation (©2007) Before the mountains were formed, before the hills, I was born-- GNT 25 I was born before the mountains, before the hills were set in place, Are these scriptures awake magazine??...... |
