1 Timothy 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.

that is how it happened

rampant:
yes i agree wt u,but this time it was his son he sent to come down and save the world,john 3:16 clearly stated it osisi

if God comes down as God ,tell me who he will be praying to

if God was d one that came down to save d world,who will he be calling----------father why have thou forsaken me?

God is a being of his own,that needs nobodys recommendation before he does watever he wants to do

jesus asked and craved for God every minute of d day while on earth,and weneva he talked he always uses ------"my father" ,  "in my fathers house"

haba hes words were eli eli ma'ma sabachthani ----meaning my God my God y have thou forsaken me

john10

36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

I thought I answered you already.
The scriptures I quoted of the claims Jesus made of himself are right there in your own Bible.
He felt pain because he was 100% human and in his human nature cried out to God who is not human.
[b]Like I said,it is a mystery and so the Bible says.[/b]I am not here to win an argument but to support my claim with scriptures of who the Bible says Christ is and what he says of himself.
That is enough for me.
I'm unable to throw those claims in the dumpster because I'm wondering how God cried out to God.
I might as well wonder how a virgin gave birth to a son since I'm yet to see this in all my years.

Missy B:
I am feeling this verse wella.May i add:

col 2vs 9
For by him (Jesus) were all things created

Well let me say it in NIV

By common confession, the secret of our godly worship is great: In flesh was he revealed to sight, kept righteous by the Spirit's might, adored by angels singing. To nations was he manifest, believing souls found peace and rest, our Lord in heaven reigning!

Pataki:
1 John 5: 5-7

5: Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6: This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7: For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are ONE.

Verse 7 says it all.

1 Timothy 3:16 
And without controversy great is the[b] mystery of godliness[/b]: 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.

@Queenisha: Woman, you see how much you are begging the questions? Instead of dealing with the verse where Jesus said why call me good and followed it by saying the only one who is good is God. You started off giving us Texan's way of dealing with issues. I know you don't have an answer how Houston or Dallas people resolve issues. Now use Nigerian mindset to answer it, straightaway.

I hope you're following

@queenisha

sorry but i don't go wt it

his turning water into wine was done by the Power given to him by God

he even said greater works i did on earth u can do,so if a man of God turns water into wine in this generation,will u also call him God?

if he was God ,tell me why he kept praying to God ?y was he always in communication wt God,why did d shed d tears of ---father y have thou forsaken me?

ive never read a part in bible where God was praying to jesus,or praying to himself d way christ did

even the last day ,where God will manifest himself is a day Jesus christ does not even know,except God himself

The reference I made to turning water into wine was just to say that we can never understand fully how miracles occur.
And in the same way cannot understand God and his ways fully.
His ways are higher than our ways says the Bible.
God can do all things including coming down as man to save man.

I already answered you that Christ was 100% man so he felt pain and cried.
When God decided to come down and reconcile man to himself,he did not forfeit his Godly attributes.

matthew18:10

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.


matthew 18:19

19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

if truly he was God why did he keep praying to God,ive never read in d bible of a place where God prayed to himself

jesus is a path way to get to God,but he is not God,because while he was on earth,he was always praying to God for grace and strength and wisdom

Rampant we use scriptures to explain scriptures.
No scriptures stand alone as gospel.
Jesus was 100% man and 100% God.
He felt pain like man that was why he cried on the cross.
He always made reference to the father because that was the order of things in his humanly attribute.
Read the scripture I gave you in John I and it explains it all.

@ Rampant.
The Father,Son and Holy spirit are attributes of the same one God.

God created man and when man fell he sought to reconcile man by coming down as a son to redeem man( and at the same time in Heaven as God) and when his ministry on earth as man was fulfilled he went back to heaven and now we have the Holy Spritit who is still God himself indwelling in us as we were promised.

That is the simplest way to understand this because we can never comprehend God to the fullest otherwise he ceases to be God.

How do you explain turning water into wine?
How do you explain a virgin giving birth to achild?
How do you explain the raising of the dead?
How do you explain the resurrection?

God is all powerful and able to do all things .
Jesus is the son of God and He is God.

Only God is worthy of worship
Only God can forgive sins
Jesus forgave sins and received worship,that makes him God.

I thought this forum had an unbiased moderator who is well versed in knowing which thread has been before opening another one. Where is the Islamic moderator to inform her esteemed Islamic brethren to search before posting?

I thought there is an Islamic section for Muslims to go spit their bunkum therein?

This topic has several threads existing both in the time past that can still be posted in.

I guess the Islamic moderator knows best.



@ Moderator,

You can go ahead to ban me again, delete my post, and inform me that I am nothing but trouble for drumming the truth to your dull skulls.

@ Topic,
SEARCH BEFORE POSTING.

hahaha
why do you think I get rebaptized ever so often.
The hypocrisy is mind boggling.
If the topic was on Mohammed and his chicks it would have been deleted or sent to Muslim section to be killed.

Rampant dear,I'll answer you with scriptures.
The Trinity concept is a great one.Christ is God in human flesh as the son.
Read this first.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came to his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bore witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:6-9)

You guys should sock it up!
we snorers are here to stay and there's nothing you folks can do about it.
If you kill us,you'll be charged with murder
if you leave us, someone else moves in
and worst still,your next beau or belle could start snoring 3 days after the wedding
you sef may start snoring afterall I never snored until I developed allergies just a couple of years ago

Snoring may have an advantage
Robbers may think you are firing a machine gun and run away.
Some may think you're praying in tongues and calling down fire and brimstone
let's all look at the other side of the coin here.

They better play well over there.

Riskie:
Hooligans Well it may seem harsh but they are simply trying to minimize the spread of AIDS/HIV and other STDs in their country. I think it's actually quite sensible. People who live here go for testing every 3 years to renew their resident's visas. I think the rules just keep people in check and make them think before being careless with their lives.

last time I checked, the green card lasts for 5 or 10 years before renewal and 99% of folks get their citizenship before that.
I am yet to hear of an immigrant or non immigrant deported because of HIV status.
You and the people of Dubai must be only ones that don't know that there are ways to "catch" HIV besides promiscuity like maternal-infant infection,blood transfusions, spousal tranfer, needlesticks on health care workers, cross transfer from unsterilized sharps in health care facilities.

The rule is a foolish one. HIV is not a communicable air borne disease and this ruling is very discriminatory.
Visitors to be subjected to HIV testing is plain stupid.

and I was thinking of visiting the place.
13th century hooligans.
what  normal country would institute discrimination of HIV patients
except one stuck in the stone age.

They can take their Dubai and shove it.
They'll soon start checking for those with intact hymen
