tctrills: You do that, I am here You are the one making the claim. Immanuel was born during the days of king Ahaz. This was approximately 700+ years prior to the birth of Jesus. Immanuel was the younger sibling of Shearjashub who was Isaiah’s first son (cf. Isaiah 2:3). Hence, ruling out the notion that Immanuel was born of a virgin. |

tctrills: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. The gospel of Matthew was written by an author who believed that Jesus was the promised Messiah, "God with us". in Isaiah 7:14. Here, Isaiah wrote, quite uncontroversially, that “the young woman is with child”, but this Hebrew text was mistranslated into the Greek Septuagint (LXX) as “a virgin will conceive”. The author of mattew copied the author of mark, both are unknown. |

Also, recall that the teachings of Jesus Christ apply only as far as the House of Jacob is concerned. Did Krishna suggest that he is instead a deity to all or to some?

What about the pestilences (pandemics), can you recall the ones that happened in 1918?
The Bible did not mention earthquake. It says GREAT EARTHQUAKES
Have you not used your eyes to see that from the image you shared that there was no famine? Is 300CE part of the first century. The Bible says that there will be global food shortage, not necessarily famine What’s the definition of famine?

Christianity Etc › Re: Is The Holy Spirit 'god?' by Maynman: 10:16am On Jan 21, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: 1. Yes, He is. And you understand how, you have to understand who Jesus Christ explained to you that He, the Holy Spirit whom the Father would send — the seal of the New Covenant— is. 
In Scripture, beginning in the Old Testament, we learn the following about God : ▪︎ God is God of Wrath ▪︎ God is God of Laws ▪︎ God is Good/Righteous ▪︎ God is Faithful ▪︎ God is Love ▪︎ God is True (Word) ▪︎ God is Life ▪︎ All Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding are of God ..... And of Jesus Christ, we are informed by Him, particularly in John 14 vs 6, that He is ▪︎ God's Truth (Word) ▪︎ God's Life ▪︎ God's Law (one of many) aka The Way ..... Now, Jesus Christ also told us the following about the Helper the Father would send to all those who belong to Him, in John 14 vs 15 - 16 & John 14 vs 25 - 27 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 15 that Helper is... ▪︎ The Spirit of God's Truth (Word), the same Truth that lives inside of Jesus Christ
2. So, to recap Jesus Christ's teachings on the identity of the Holy Spirit aka the Spirit of Truth. a. The Father will send the Spirit of Truth aka the Helper in the Name of Jesus Christ to those who live their lives in submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ. b. Those who live in the world cannot receive or have the Spirit of Truth because do not have the ability to see or perceive Him in their lack of knowledge(KNOWING) of the Truth of God, Jesus Christ. c. The Helper, the Spirit of Truth, will teach the followers of Jesus Christ all things and bring to their remembrance all that Jesus Christ has taught. d. The Helper, the Spirit of Truth, will bear witness about Jesus Christ to each of Jesus's own followers. e. The Helper, the Spirit of Truth, will convict those who are in the world regarding sin, righteousness, and judgment. f. The Helper, the Spirit of Truth, will guide each one of Jesus Christ's followers into all Truth for He will only speak of that which He hears of Jesus Christ and declare that which is to come concerning Jesus Christ(and His Kingdom) g. The Helper, the Spirit of Truth, will glorify Jesus Christ, for He will take what belongs to Jesus Christ to declare to each of His followers h. All that the Father has belongs to Jesus Christ and as such the Helper will teach to Jesus Christ's followers only that which is of Jesus Christ.
In conclusion, yes, Holy Spirit is God. However, given that the Holy Spirit doesn't possess all of the essences of Jesus Christ or of God, the Father, all inside of His person, He, the Holy Spirit, is not God, the Father.  Why are you cherry picking which doctrine of men you want to follow but abuse other people’s doctrine? Hypocrite trinitarian, Tertulian must be proud.

Christianity Etc › Re: A Lions Cub Is A Lion! A Kings Prince Is A King Jesus Christ SON Of God Is A God by Maynman: 10:14am On Jan 21, 2023 |
Corrections: The male cub of a LION will NEVER grow up to become a donkey. Never!! When a PRINCE shows up at an event with all his father's support and authorities to represent him, NO ONE at the event would dare disrespect or denie such PRINCE the respect or recognition they would Accord his father "the KING."
God the creator of heaven and Earth rules over all that he creates. He gives out his orders and no one anywhere can reverse it.
Isaiah 14:27
The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?”
He gave his order that the sun and the moon should keep shining out their lights till the end of time. Who has been able to reverse this order by God given to the moon and the sun?
When God chooses to bless or reward his people who can curse them? Or vice versa? God's authorities can never be challenged by anything or anyone? It pleased God to favour Joseph to become the prime minister of Egypt even though he had no credentials to occupy the position. Yet no one could challenge him.
It pleased him (God ) to declare Abraham his friend. It doesn't matter the opinion or questions of people ( does God need a friend? ) about his declaration, Abraham still remains a friend to God.
Isaiah 41:8 “ But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.
James 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.'And he was called the friend of God. When God speaks people's logical questions or opinion systematically become outdated. Questions like " does God need a friend to be happy?" "How can Abraham be God's friend when he has not seen God?" do not in anyway concern or compare with God's knowledge because what he ( God ) can not do does not exist. No human logical thinking can be compared with that of God. Never!! If God says you are blind just know that indeed you are blind irrespective of tones of images your eyes see physically every day .
Isaiah 55:8-11
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Now in the same light, this same God was pleased to reward and declare JESUS his beloved SON. Now know this and have peace that irrespective of logical questions people may ask no one can reverse it. Here this, if God can declare human being ( an ordinary flesh ) his people in Hosea 2:23, is it Jesus Christ whose birthday ( his mother got pregnant without her husbands sperm in her ) and death ( came back to live after practically dying for 3 day) are mysteriously strange ( [b]the first and the last of it kind combined the world would ever withness till end of time ) that God can't declare his BELOVED SON?[/b]
Here in the verse, Jesus was declared by God to be his Son
Mark 1:11, NIV: And a voice came from heaven: 'You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.
Mark 9:7, ESV: And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”
Just like how a king would relinquish power to his loyal prince so also has God ( his father ) given him ( Jesus Christ the prince ) extra ordinary power to rule over all that he ( God the Father ) has created both on Earth and in heaven.
Ephesians 1:21-22 Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.
Also, God his father ( the king ) has given him ( Jesus Christ the prince) power to be the medium or platform [/b]through which people can get to heaven to live with God his father for ever.
[b]John14:6 Jesus told him ' I am the way- Yes, and the truth and the life. No one can GET to the father (GOD the king) except by means of me ( JESUS Christ the prince ).
John14:1 Let not your heart be troubled. You have trust in God ( the king ) now trust in me ( JESUS Christ the prince ).
John15:23 Anyone that is hating me ( JESUS the prince ) is hating the father (GOD the king)
NOTE! NOTE! NOTE! WHEN YOU SEE THE PRINCE YOU HAVE SEEN THE KING!!
John 12:49 I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father ( God the king ) who sent me has commanded me ( Jesus Christ ) what to say and how to say it So lion and a cub are the same? |

I admire your strength.
It is not easy going round and round in circles with you know who.
To even imagine that he as a grandfather, is defending rapists - the horror!
When they go to the court of law and win a case, they gladly say that it is Jehovah who gave them the victory.
When they lose a case in the same court of law, they call the same Lawyers - Liars and conclude they are working for Satan.
Do you see the double standard?
Well, it is good that the internet never forgets and everybody can see his true nature - a man who defends Child Sexual Abusers. It’s a shame among best performing orgy organization. It just shows they are a cult and people like madmax are helpless. You are right, the internet never forgets. And the funny thing is more of these rape cases will be exposed, it remains how far and low they will go to defend it  |

MaxInDHouse: They're working with LIARS (LAWYERS) who can't be trusted (believed) so if they acknowledge God it's based on their own conscience. What we are deliberating right now is wether what they're saying is true. If you don't believe in the existence of God as confirmed by billions around you including the courts you're quoting but insisted on seeing for yourself then why do you conclude on what they're saying against a group of nice people whom you know in your own community?  Lawyers works with facts and evidence, why are they always “lying” on Jehovah witness with facts and evidence, and finding your members guilty. Are Jehovah witnesses not allowed lawyers to defend them? Their conscience won’t make them acknowledge child sex abuse? Since you believe in the existence of gods as confirmed by billions around you including courts why are you not worshipping all the gods of other religions? Why don’t you NOW believe what the court confirms when they found your members guilty of rape. Why are you cherry picking and defending rape?

I don't believe in what the court says that's why i ignored their works until i see one man or woman who is a member of this group in my own area caught in such an act.
But you who claims you believe in the works of the court you're the one cherry picking!  It’s you that’s cherry picking. You made the claim that court confirm the existence of gods by oath taking, and court works on facts and evidence not oath taking. So if you claim the court confirm existence of gods, you should also agree that they confirmed your members to be rapists. you believe courts confirms existence of gods, you should also believe that your members are rapists.

Now the same court you want to believe in their works confirmed that Gods exist but you chose to ignore that.
Ọmọ your hypocrisy has been exposed you're just trying to accuse nice people without vivid evidence!  Since you don’t believe in court, why then do you believe that they confirmed the existence of gods? The same court also confirmed that Jehovah witnesses are rapists, same court called your members terrorists according to you. Why are you cherry picking?

So why are you lying against nice people? If truly you agree with whatever the court does then you should believe in God/Gods!  So they took an oath and still found your jehovah witnesses guilty of rape? Why then don’t you listen to your advice as gods worshipper and “believe”?
