cornelboy:My brother, you have a problem believing the Bible Why are you saying 'I meant?" How dare I mean anything?. I only pointed you what Jesus said. You either choose to believe Jesus or believe your teachers. |

RoyalDiadems: Let's examine some trinity theories attributes; Co powerful, co equal. God appointed Jesus. Hebrew 1:9 God gave him his name. He obtained it. Hebrew 1:4 Every authority/power was given to Jesus by God. Jesus will hand over his authority back to God in the future. I Corinthians 15:24-28. Is Jesus really co equal and co powerful with God the Father cos he never seem to have anything on his own, only what the Father gives him? |

cornelboy:This is not something that can be explained through logic. It takes a walk with God to unravel spiritual mysteries. Don't start saying what the word of God meant, start saying what the word of God said. I believe the word of God literally because God never says what He doesn't mean. I can't start finding meanings on God's behalf. |

RoyalDiadems:The facts is, the kingdom was established in heaven and it will come to earth. Pls try to explain Daniel 2:44. |

cornelboy:God is a Triune Being. Even in creation, He said Let US make man. 1Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: 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." Isaiah 9:6: "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." I wouldn't say anything further on this. You can argue with the Scriptures. |

RoyalDiadems:If your saying literally, that's, God the Father is the one true God according to Paul and Jesus though there are many other Gods. Or you don't believe Jesus' and Paul's teachings? Like the Bible never mentioned trinity or teaches it. I wonder where it came from. The Roman Catholics of course! Peace sir/ma. |

cornelboy:The Bible never uses the Word Trinity but it's evidence cannot be denied in scripture. |

RoyalDiadems: 1Timothy 3:16You know I gave you an assignment on 1 John 5:7 earlier. This verse is another assignment for you. Do your research and tell me why it only the king James Bible that say "God was manifest in the flesh"? Why didn't other versions of the Bible put it that way? King James was translated Trinitarians. And they inaccurately translated that verse like they added words to 1John 5:7. It was Christ that was manifest in the flesh not God himself. Roman Catholics really tampered with pure doctrines of the early church. God is one person, Yahweh, the Father! |
| Re: What Does It Really Mean To Be Born Again? by cornelboy(f): 12:18am On May 12, 2022 |
RoyalDiadems:The early church didn't believe it at all. They know that God is one. A singular person. Not three in one or one in three. |
| Re: What Does It Really Mean To Be Born Again? by RoyalDiadems(op): 12:26am On May 12, 2022 |
cornelboy:That's what we also believe. God isn't three persons. He's One Person manifested in 3 forms. The 2 verses I gave you now confirms this. "God was manifest in the flesh. " The selfsame person. The son that's born shall be called Mighty God. The same person. Please read with understanding. |
| Re: What Does It Really Mean To Be Born Again? by RoyalDiadems(op): 12:27am On May 12, 2022 |
cornelboy:1 John 5:7 is not the only verse establishing this truth. Even if 1 John 5:7 never existed, countless verses abound. |

[quote author=RoyalDiadems post=112745475][/quote] That's what we also believe. God isn't three persons. He's One Person manifested in 3 forms.This just made up assumptions made from misinterpretation. The Bible is not science that you can just make theories from. It's a trick. Three persons can't be one person. "God was manifest in the flesh. " The selfsame person.If you really understand the Bible, you'll understand that Jesus is distinct from his Father even before Jesus came to earth. Jesus said it many times in the Bible that he was with God and also that God sent him. The 2 verses I gave you now confirms thisCompare them with other versions of the Bible. King James version is deviant. They changed the truth. The son that's born shall be called Mighty God. The same person.But it didn't say he's the almighty God the Father huh? Please read with understanding.Yeah thanks, that's what I do. You don't know the depth of what you believe in. They say God the son, God the Father, God the holy are three three distinct person yet working together as one. That's just a lie. Did the almighty God ever claim to be three person and yet one? No. God claimed to be one being. Did Paul believe in trinity? No. He also believe the Father is the one God there is. Anything less or more than that is addition to the Bible, hence false teachings! These people, Paul and Jesus were baptized by the holy spirit and I believe their words that the Father is the one true God. Paul understand the perfect relationship between the Father and Jesus. But he never say Jesus is also God like the Father himself. The early never taught or believed in the pagan doctrine, trinity, that was established via hot debates between bishops at the Nicene council and subsequent councils when Constantine a Roman leader took over Christianity. I explained to you already what Jesus meant by being one with the Father already. Well I was once in your shoes. May Jehovah God help you to see the truth in Jesus name. Amen. |

cornelboy:You're a JW? Hahaha. No wonder. Are you guys Christians? No! Your own Jesus is even some glorified angel Michael. You have no part in these things. You need to be saved. |

RoyalDiadems:Lol. Who was Jesus before he came to earth? You are not God that saves na. Who are Christians? |
| Re: What Does It Really Mean To Be Born Again? by RoyalDiadems(op): 9:22pm On May 16, 2022 |
cornelboy:Get a real Bible and find the truth. Stop reading the JW Bible that has been edited to suit the doctrines of its founders. Isaiah 6:9 clearly states who Jesus is for all eternity. |

RoyalDiadems:Where in Isaiah 6:9? |
| Re: What Does It Really Mean To Be Born Again? by RoyalDiadems(op): 10:13pm On May 16, 2022 |
cornelboy:Isaiah 9:6 I mean. Sorry for the error. |
| Re: What Does It Really Mean To Be Born Again? by cornelboy(f): 10:17pm On May 16, 2022 |
RoyalDiadems:It says the child shall be called mighty God, everlasting father etc. So what do you want to point out from the verse? |
| Re: What Does It Really Mean To Be Born Again? by RoyalDiadems(op): 10:20pm On May 16, 2022 |
cornelboy:Why is the child so called? And why did 1Tim. 3:6 say concerning the child that 'God was manifest in the flesh."? |

cornelboy:The baptism with the Holy Spirit is not a born again experience. Rather, it is those who are born again that can receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit. Being born again is a rebirth of the human spirit. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, God changes your heart. He gives you a brand new heart. And the Holy Spirit is involved in this miracle birth. He is the one who convicts the sinners of sin. After your life is changed or after you are born again, you can now receive the Holy Spirit who seals your salvation. Mathematically Born Again (salvation) + Holy Spirit Baptism = Salvation sealed. This is why our Lord Jesus said; Mark 16:16 He that believeth and IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Being born again is the same as being saved in a sense. But your salvation is perfected when you receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. When Jesus said, he that believes and is baptized shall be saved, he was not talking about water baptism. John and said that Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit. So, our Lord Jesus couldn't be talking about water baptism. Apostle Paul confirms the fact that it is the baptism with the Holy Spirit that seals our salvation. He said; Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: in whom also after that ye believed, YE WERE SEALED WITH THE THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE, Notice, Paul first acknowledged that they were saved by the gospel before he said that they were sealed with the Holy Spirit. There is also the salvation of your soul which is a different subject all together. |

cornelboy:1. There is no mention of the word "Holy" in the entire context of John 3 vs 1 - 21, so how did you make this leap of a conclusion that it is the Holy Spirit that one is born of? ![]() |
