StillDtruth: Not True!
Do you not see from his words that he thinks the beginnning of all beginnings was when God created us and our house called heaven and earth?
Which was why he must think that Genesis and John are the same starting point, which you have already riggtly said it is not the same?
He truly thought that the universe began with the creation of our world and that Jesus too was brought forth at that time.
But thank God, proverbs 8 has cleared all those questions. Are implying there is another beginning outside the beginning of Genesis? I don't think that is what he was saying, never said Jesus was created in the beginning. |

Emusan: After Bible has been translated to a plain English, some people still allow men doctrine to beclouded their sense of reasoning and understanding.
The verse you quoted along other is plain English which even a bright secondary school student shouldn't struggle with to understand.
Of recent, I asked MetaAI about Philippians 2:6.
Note: I didn't even add the Book or mention anything Bible but here was the reply I got.
This phrase is a quote from the Bible, Philippians 2:6, and it's a description of Jesus Christ. Here's a breakdown of what it means:
- "Who" refers to Jesus Christ. - "Being in the form of God" means that Jesus existed in the same form or nature as God. It's a statement about His divinity. - "Thought it not robbery" is an old-fashioned way of saying "did not consider it something to be grasped or seized". In other words, Jesus didn't think it was something He had to take or claim for Himself. - "To be equal with God" means that Jesus didn't try to assert His equality with God or make Himself equal to God.
In essence, the phrase is saying that Jesus, although He was fully God, didn't try to hold onto His equality with God or use it for His own gain. Instead, He humbled Himself and took on human form (Philippians 2:7-8 )
This passage is often seen as a description of Jesus' willingness to set aside His divine privileges and become human, in order to serve humanity and ultimately die on the cross for our sins. It's a statement about His humility and willingness to serve, rather than trying to assert His own power or status.
As you can see, this verse alone proved that Jesus is FULLY GOD and not just a created being.
I did more on many verses which I'll created a thread on soon. I would pretend as if that verse is not in the bible. Very dishonest people. |

MaxInDHouse: Comment:
Jesus was CREATED by God Almighty (Father) so Jesus is the firstborn of all creations he is an intelligent and wise child who tries to imitate everything he sees his father doing {John 5:19} so with the long time they both spent together God loved this son so much that He God decided to create more other creatures for the pleasure of His son {Colossians 1:15-16} to make the child happy God allowed him to participate in the creation work {Proverbs 8:22-30} that's why it's just these two persons that always suffice anytime the heavens is revealed! Psalms 110:1; John 17:3; Act 7:56
That's my comment!  How can God be created? Are you hearing yourself |
Christianity Etc › Re: Jesus Christ Is Not God by Steep(m): 9:48am On Aug 02, 2024 |
MaxInDHouse: •According to the scriptures David didn't see one or three person in the Bible book of Psalm 110:1 rather he saw TWO persons and one is LOWER in position.
•Jesus himself said we need to have the knowledge of TWO persons! John 17:3
•Also after Jesus has returned to the heavens Stephen didn't see just one or three persons rather he saw TWO just like David did. Act 7:56
Can you explain that? They only saw what God permitted them to see i.e God and the Messiah. David was seeing into the future when the Messiah would sit with the father in his throne. You asked me a question and I answered yet no comment on that. Nawao |

Christianity Etc › Re: Jesus Christ Is Not God by Steep(m): 8:17am On Aug 02, 2024 |
MaxInDHouse: The lower position Jesus took is it before or after coming to the earth? just before coming to the earth. See Phil 2:7. He made himself of no reputation taking the form of a servant, before he was made a man. Note the change of language,before taking upon himself the form of a servant he did all things by his authority but after taking upon himself the form of a servant he relinquished that authority to the father and he was made a man not by himself. We don't see different gods but one God who is in three different persons playing different roles to fulfill his will. |

StillDtruth: Wrong!
Do you not see that the making of heaven and earth is "our beginning"? And not the beginning of jupiter or pluto which could have been created before our own or after our own?
And do you not see that John points out that The Word, was "with God"?
So, does that not tell you that when God was moving over the waters in Genesis 1:2 before heaven and earth was made that The Word was also there with Him which we see in God issuing out a command, "let there be ligbt"?
You obviously wrongly thought the whole universe starts with us.
Proverbs 8 clears all this arguments
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: He might not be wrong, he is not saying the word was created but the word is eternal. |

butterfly777: Its the same beginning. God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning. John makes us know that Jesus was already in existence in the beginning with God (The Father) and as God before creation began.
Both Genesis 1 and John 1 show that God the Father and Jesus the Word were in existence before the beginning. It could but in 1 John1:1 said the word is from the beginning. 1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 1 John 2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I believe John used the word "in the beginning" to describe eternity past. Again you might be right that the word that the begining refers to the creation that John met the word was already n existence when all things were in existence in which case as you said the wordis eternal. Then 1John1:1 would mean his existence before his incarnation. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Is "The Beginning" In Genesis 1:1 Same As "The Beginning" In John 1:1? by Steep(op): 7:11am On Aug 02, 2024 |
Janosky: In the holy scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, that word "beginning" has the same meaning in whatever context you apply it.
The word "Beginning" means the starting point , or commencement of a series or thing.
You can't use just two different portions of scriptures John & Genesis ALONE to establish what you should understand from your Bible about the word "Beginning " God also describe himself as the beginning does that mean God actually started to exist? No, so "the beginning" can also be used in a different way. |

Jesus visited my neighbors house ... Or Jesus told me to feel the jars with water.. Etc. Not a story...
Comprende.. ignorant man, so if someone writes in 3rd person pronoun it means they are not eye witnesses? You an ignorant man who don't even know the meaning of eye witness, is calling what professionals has certified to be history, a story. Even a fool has more hope than you.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I believe they are not exactly the same, John's "beginning" is actually the "indefinite" time before definite time. How did I know? It is because John later said all creation came into being through him so John 's beginning goes far beyond the beginning of Genesis into eternity. |

Busybrain2233: The God concept is a belief system hence no one has knowledge about him/her/it. The evidence proves that there is an immaterial spaceless and timesless being the created the universe. Evidence proves the universe (matter and space-time) had a beginning. Meaning whatever caused the universe into being is immaterial, spaceless and timeless, this is the basic definition of God. It is an illogical belief to assume the universe is eternal and also illogical to belief that the universe was created by nothing. |

Christianity Etc › Re: When I Became An Atheist. by Steep(m): 6:57pm On Jul 31, 2024 |
Busybrain2233: At the emboldened, you might be referring to the observable universe.
How do you know God was ever present and how do I verify your claim? No, The big bang was not a theory only for the observable universe, so far all evidences goes against the eternality of the universe. It is part of what what what God is. I laugh when people ask "who created God" it is like asking why is rectangle not circular? How do you for sure know that there's no being higher than God?
The people who made that definition how did they come to realise all that about God? Or did they go back in time to check if God actually existed as an eternal being?
Is it possible for something/someone/deity to exist without no cause? Please state your reasons clearly? And if yes, what could have triggered/caused that to happen?
Quoting a passage in the bible to make a point to me isn't wise, why should I take what it says serious? You question " is there being greater than God" is like asking is there a number greater than infinity or is there a time greater than eternity? You also ask is there a colour whiter than white? If there is being greater than God or if God was created then God wouldn't be God. God by basic definition is eternal, uncreated, spaceless, uncaused cause of all creation and of course absolute power. Since God is not part of space-time then logically you don't expect God to be proven with the scientific method the way material things are proven rather God reveals himself. |
Christianity Etc › Re: When I Became An Atheist. by Steep(m): 3:54pm On Jul 31, 2024 |
Busybrain2233: The observable universe is/might be finite, but what we don't know are events that happened before the observable universe emanated.
So do you think your God popped out from nothing or was created by a higher being all current evidences show that the universe had a beginning so the universe can not be said to have had an inifinity past. God did not pop out of nothing, he is ever present from all eternity to eternity. There is nothing like a being higher than God, just like saying asking if there is a square circle. The very definition of God denotes finality, there is nothing greater than him neither can be, he is the cause of all there is while he himself has no cause. Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. |

1 Corinthians 8:5-6 "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,yet to us, there is one God the Father....." And that scripture also said Jesus is the one Lord. Psalm 82:1 God presides over the divine assembly. He (Ha Elohim) judges among the gods. Psalm 82:6 God's sons are gods whether in heaven or earth. Are those gods truly gods? According to your own Bible.

Earlier scientist had thought the universe was eternal and proposed different theories that support the eternality of the universe until their hopes were shattered recently by the hubbles telescope they found that the universe is expanding and also discovered the cosmic micro wave background. The universe cannot be eternal because the universe would have experienced heat death in eternity past and we would not have existed. Guess what you believe there is something called eternity which no one can explain, science can't explain it.

RichestMinds: Mathematical Error in the Bible
2nd Kings, Chapter No.8, Verse No.26, it says that ‘Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem...’
2nd Chronicles, Chapter No. 22, Verse No. 2, says that… ‘42 years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem...’
As we all know God can never make mistake.
Was he 22 years old, or was he 42 years old? – Mathematical contradiction The 42 years probably refers to when he began to reign on his own and the 22 years when began to reign with is father, or the 42 years refers to his mother's reign. Another probability is that the 42 years refers to the combined years of his family reign or it simply a copying error. |
