Elkewwty:are you jehovah's witness? Do you not believe in the epistle?how about the gospel of christ I give you? Most of you guys are christian but when you read stuff in the internet, you grow cold, they feed you lies about the bible,you know longer read the bible but chose to gather information about God on the internet, they give you lies and seducing doctrine, as always been the case, majority are always on the wrong side, during the flood only few people got save, soddom and gommorah, only few people got save and nowadays the same thing is happening, only few people know who jesus real is,a man born of the spirit of God, who will be his father?is it possible for a mortal man to walk the earth witout committing one sin? only GOD CAN.bible prophecy is coming to pass in our own very eyes but the sad things is that we are sleeping, don't terry lady, believe in jesus so that you will be among elect. God breath on man and man became a living soul, but satan corrupt man, do you think God will live it like that ? Noting shall be left untouched, we only need jesus to adopt back the nature of Godliness in us. |

Elkewwty:If the post is about sex in the sexuality section or if its a romantic story in the romance section,you will read and reread,you will even ask the writer to finish the story if he didnt,now someone gave you an answer to your question twice which will take you only 1minute to read and you are saying you are allergic to the truth? Well,Satan is also allerggic to the truth,no wonder he gave ppl like you time to read fictitious stories about sex and romance which add nothing to you,but to read the Bible,hell no!

Re: Did Jesus Claim That He Is God? by ice234: 8:48am On Oct 07, 2014 |
You don't need to claim what you are, why should He make a claim that he is God when he is. Its not a claim its a fact. Jesus once said I and my father are one. John also said "In the begining was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God" the word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Paul also said there are three that testify in heaven. The father, the son and the holy spirit. The Trinty is real. |

Unless people say NO to traditions that have developed over the centuries , they'll continue holding wrong beliefs about Jesus. Unless people read the bible objectively without the influence of already established traditions, then they'll not fully understand God and the part Jesus plays in his arrangement. For one to believe that Jesus is the Almighty God, he has to ignore a host of scriptural evidence that says contrary. These people have selected some scriptures and given it a meaning in order to establish their doctrine - Trinity. John 17:5 is an example that Jesus is a seperate person from his father. In that account, jesus says: "father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you". In John 17:3 jesus also says: "This means everlÀsting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the ONLY TRUE GOD, and the one whom you sent forth, JESUS CHRIST" So the Bible says the father is seperate from the son. How then are we to understand Jesus words saying "I and my father are one" in John 10:30? Let us take a look at the context. In verse 25, jesus stated that he did works in the name of his father. From verse 27 to 29, he talked about a symbolic sheep whom his father had given him. Both statements by jesus would have made little sense to his listeners if he and his father were one and the same person. Instead, jesus said in effect, 'My father and I are so close-knit that no one can take away the sheep from me, just as no one can take them away from my father'. It is much like a son saying to his father's enemy, 'if you attack my father, you attack me.' No one would conclude that this son and his father were the same person. But all would percive the strong bond of unity between them. |

THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS NO GOD SAVE ONE GOD Deu 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. Luk 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. The GOD IN THE BIBLE AND JESUS clearly said there is no God save ONE TRUE GOD JESUS NEVER SAID HE IS GOD HIMSELF , JESUS NEVER SAID THE WORD TRINITY BUT ALL JESUS SAID WAS Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. As we can clearly see the Present Christian Faith and the followers have clearly deviated from the concept of ONE GOD and have made THREE gods out of ONE TRUE GOD Thus it is safe to assume that PRESENT CHRISTANITY IS NOT IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM AND IT HAS BEEN CORUPTED |

ice234: John 1:1 reads: "in the begining was the Word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." - KJV If this verse were interpreted to mean Jesus was himself God Almighty, it would contradict the preceding statemant, "the word was with God." Someone who is "with" another person cannot be the same as that other person. Many bible translations thus draw a distinction, making it clear that the word was not God Almighty. For example, a sampling of Bible translations say the following: "The word was a God," "a god was the word," and "the word was divine." Bible verses that in the Greek language have a construction similar to that of John 1:1 use the expression "a god." For example, when referring to Herod Agrippa 1, the crowds shouted: 'it is a god speaking.' And when paul survived a bite by a poisonous snake, the people said: "He is a god" (Acts 12:22; 28:3-6) It is in harmony with both Greek grammar and Bible teaching to speak of the word as, not God, but "a god." Consider how John identified "the word" in the first chapter of his gospel. "The word became flesh and resided among us," he wrote, "and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs(not to God but) to an only-begotten son from a father." So "the word became flesh, lived on the earth as the man Jesus and was seen by peopl. Therefore, he could not have been Almighty God, regarding whom John says: "No man has seen God at any time" John 1:14, 18. 1 Like |

On the cross, Jesus allegedly confronted God almighty that "why ath thou foresaken me?"...and he also prayed, "our father, who ath in heaven...."...and he prayed for the Last Super!...who was he praying to?...himself? Pls don't ask me what religion I follow, cos I follow my heart and the truth...!..not the doctored truth!! |

malvisguy212: My friend, wake up and open your eyes to the truth they have been hiding for so long...let no man's pride let to astray...research into the TRUTH and you will find light...Jesus is an apostle of God and NOT God! “So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me” (John 7:16) “I came not of my own accord, but he sent me” (John 8:42) “I tell you the truth, no SERVANT is greater than his MASTER, nor is a MESSENGER greater than the one who sent him” (John 13:16) “Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish His work” (John 4:34) “For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak” (John 12:49) |

Sometimes I barely believe what's written in the bible cos it has been doctored to suit "their" purpose, "trinity"...but the TRUTH can never be extinguished, it can only be suppress for a time but ultimately, it will establish itself no matter how long it takes! There are three grades of evidences available in the bible and you need not be a scholor of the bible to tell this, because if you open the bible at random you will find the words of God, words of Prophets and the words of Historians. And let me support my claim by providing an example for each of the evidence from the bible. The below are few of the quotations : Words of God : Book of Deuteronomy 18:18 Words of Prophet : Gospel of Mark 12:29 Words of Historians : Gospel of Mark 11:13 And no wonder the bulk of the bible is a witnessing of this THIRD kind i.e., the Words of Historians. And the moment you say that apart from the words of God it also contains the words of some other people who were eye witness (or) heard it from "HEARSAY" then it is made crystal clear that its not 100% verbatim word of Almighty God. And if only one word from the complete bible is proved that that word is not from God, then it has been doctored! What's its credibility then? |
Re: Did Jesus Claim That He Is God? by ice234: 1:27pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
Please quote any bible that isn't JW version then I will flow with you. In the begining was the word (in the beginging was Jesus), and the word was with God (Jesus was with God the father) and the word was God (Jesus is God) this statement verify the trinity showing Jesus is God the son.

ice234: Please Please I dnt want to say something that will offend you. Who said anything about JW's? Through my studies of the scriptures I've been able to spot out the blunder in the Trinity dogma, and I have put it forth. I don't understand u sef, I quoted John 1:1 in KJV and u're accusing me of using JW's bible yet you quote exactly the same thing as I did. I think you have some real issues, u cldnt even say anything about my write up. |

Re: Did Jesus Claim That He Is God? by ice234: 1:55pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled; without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the Persons; nor dividing the Essence. For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal. Such as the Father is; such is the Son; and such is the Holy Ghost. The Father uncreated; the Son uncreated; and the Holy Ghost uncreated. The Father unlimited; the Son unlimited; and the Holy Ghost unlimited. The Father eternal; the Son eternal; and the Holy Ghost eternal. And yet they are not three eternals; but one eternal. As also there are not three uncreated; nor three infinites, but one uncreated; and one infinite. So likewise the Father is Almighty; the Son Almighty; and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not three Almighties; but one Almighty. So the Father is God; the Son is God; and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods; but one God. So likewise the Father is Lord; the Son Lord; and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords; but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity; to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord; So are we forbidden by the catholic religion; to say, There are three Gods, or three Lords. The Father is made of none; neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone; not made, nor created; but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son; neither made, nor created, nor begotten; but proceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is before, or after another; none is greater, or less than another. But the whole three Persons are coeternal, and coequal. So that in all things, as aforesaid; the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped. He therefore that will be saved, let him thus think of the Trinity. Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation; that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess; that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; God, of the Essence of the Father; begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the Essence of his Mother, born in the world. Perfect God; and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood. Who although he is God and Man; yet he is not two, but one Christ. One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh; but by assumption of the Manhood by God. One altogether; not by confusion of Essence; but by unity of Person. For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man; so God and Man is one Christ; Who suffered for our salvation; descended into hell; rose again the third day from the dead. He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the God the Father Almighty, from whence he will come to judge the living and the dead. At whose coming all men will rise again with their bodies; And shall give account for their own works. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire. This is the catholic faith; which except a man believe truly and firmly, he cannot be saved. |

ice234: I read through your writing, searching for a scripture at least that supports your reasoning, but I saw none. I'm not suprised to tell you the truth. The belief system of the catholic church is founded in traditions of men, that's a simple explanation. But how you can believe these teachings that have no scriptural backing and still feel strongly that you're serving God in the right way is WHat baffles me. The analysis in two of my write up says a lot from the Bible. It both proves that Jesus is a seperate person from his father God Almighty and that he is in a much lower position when compared to his father. |

Re: Did Jesus Claim That He Is God? by Etfash(m): 3:13pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
The more of Christ you know, the greater the difficulty of knowing the difference between Him and his Father. Apostle Peter in his first epistle was so careful not to 'glorify' Christ. But in his second epistle, 2Peter 1:1. If you go through the entire epistle you will understand better. He advised us in that second epistle to read the writings of the prophets, affirming that they are wonderful and compared them to light that illuminates the dark areas of our hearts. 2Peter 1:19-21. If you acknowledge Jesus of Nazareth as Christ or Messiah as the case may be, it shouldn't be difficult for you to search the Torah, Prophets and Kings to know who CHRIST that Prophets and Kings called Mighty God and Lord is. Isaiah9:6 and Ps110:1. If you consider the testimony of God about him, you may also understand who he is better. Malachi 4:4-6. The oneness of Christ with his Father isn't separable and it will be wise to live it at that. However, if you call him a Prophet, Jesus was. If you recognize him as Christ, He is. And if you recognize him as Lord (saviour, who must be obeyed), you are right. But we should move unto knowing Him better. Not as Jesus the son of Mary but as Christ the son of God that God inspired Peter to call him in Matthew 16:13-17. For those who insist that He was a prophet, well, Moses also called him 'a prophet like unto me'. But things got clearer and clearer about who this fellow would be as time went by. Because, more and more prophets and the psalmist spoke more clearly about him... Like Apostle Paul said, we know in part. But Christ confirmed who he is by affirming the testimony of Peter. CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. Maranatha!! |

naffysa: Your Qur'an called him 'Messiah Jesus'. My son may be in primary school; that does not mean his ultimate goal in life is to be a primary school certificate holder... It is just a step towards becoming a graduate. Jesus was sent first to the lost sheep of Israel but then he said 'If I be lifted up; I will draw ALL men unto me'. He also said 'go ye into ALL THE WORLD and preach the gospel; teaching them to observe all things that I have taught you...' He also said 'i have other sheep that are NOT of this FOLD, I must gather them, that there might be one sheep pen and one shepherd' John10:16. Christ confirmed this after his resurrection, Acts1:8... Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. God is an orderly God. When he called Abraham, His ultimate purpose was to reach out to the whole world by making Abraham a father of many nations; but He started with Abraham. This is a clarification and not an argument; I don't argue things like this. |
