This is because He is the one and only Son of God and Son of Man. He incarnated Himself (as God the Son) into a human body prepared for Him by the Father in Mary. From conception on, Jesus was fully God and fully man in one Person, the Person of the
Son of God. He is the only Incarnated Being in all of creation. Being indwelt with the Holy Spirit is not an incarnation as it is two persons inhabiting one body, the believer and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit's presence in the believer is not natural to mankind since the fall, but one of the wonderful blessings promised by Jesus, our Saviour. With Jesus, it is one Person, (the Son) taking upon Himself fully a human nature with a body, soul, and spirit. When one looks at Jesus one sees The Son of God in a fleshly body, not the Son of God overtaking an already existing human's body. And because of the unity of the Persons of the Godhead, Jesus could say, if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father ( John 12:45; John 14:9).
Before creation and before all time, the three members of the Godhead existed in complete joy, love, and unity. Together They willed to create a universe that would include heavenly spirit beings and beings made of matter. The heavenly beings and humans are the two groups of beings that were created to have relationship with the Godhead. Before creation, the Godhead decided that They would create both heavenly beings and humans capable of disobeying Him. Satan was the first to sin, being lifted up with pride, attempting to become equal with God and to usurp Him so that the heavenly hosts will worship him instead of their Maker. As many as one third of the angels followed after Satan into sin. God knew this would happen. He already planned not to offer salvation to fallen angels, but prepared the lake of fire for them to spend all of eternity when they are judged. ....

In the Hebrew there is no Capital G: God
god and all gods are lower case, translators put in the capital letter.
The Father is the god, all else are a god, you know which is which by the articles; the and a.
Jesus is a god, Jesus says he's is not the father, but was a god sent by the Father.
If you study the Psalms and understand it is Christ speaking and not David you will have better understanding.
2 Samuel 23:1-2
Read Psalms 69 with the understanding it is Jesus speaking, NOT DAVID.
The whole bible are the WORDS OF GOD, not the words of the man that set those words to paper.
God Bless YOU!
It is clear from our past interactions with those who continue to contend that we will achieve godhood along with other heresies related to this prideful, Satan inspired doctrine, they are will not (as of yet) repent of their false belief and recant. But, as you, I post responses now and then for the sake of those newcomers to this forum or those new in faith. It is very important, especially on a site such as this forum, for true doctrine to be presented regularly with Biblical support. And those who concur with those who present correct doctrine to reply that they are in agreement, as many as possible. We should be a united front against such terribly wrong doctrine as this "little gods" false teaching.
I don't think that many people really realize just how much was lost in the fall of Adam. To go from an altogether righteous and holy nature to change to a thoroughly, all-encompassing sinful nature that is passed to every person conceived is a huge loss as well as an almost unfathomable distance sin placed between God and mankind. Most people think that they are just a "little bit sinful" in relation to God. They do not realize that His infinite holiness and purity and perfection is something we can never compare ourselves to as there is no close comparison whatsoever.
For people to think that people in this life who are sinful even if saved can "be in the same class as God" as some who hold this distorted, wicked tenet say, we diminish our view of this aspect of God's complete perfection that is beyond what we can ever fully grasp even when we are resurrected and made perfect in our humanity. The gulf between God's perfection as deity and the perfection of our humanity in the life to come is immense. We dishonor God when we minimize this difference and especially dishonor Him when we attribute godhood to our present sinful selves. How sinful is that!
But we can know that we will be facing this narrative again and again. We are prayerful

This is why those communicating their messages in this 'forum' so often use the word 'discerning' while the 'Word of God' is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). This is why it also teaches; that anyone that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man ( 1 Cor. 2:15).
Furthermore, the Spirit of truth cannot be received by this world ( John 14:17) as this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9).
May we suggest you search the words 'a world deceived' an learn how you may know the difference between the 'natural' and the 'spiritual' body ( 1 Cor. 15:44).
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).
Please remember, the above words are not our words but from God and they are according to the 'Spirit of Truth'.
You are absolutely right when you say "How can anyone think that God will not deal with humans who persist in the same sin any differently than He deals with Satan".
Well this group also says "There is no Satan! and there is no Hell!
Every verse in scripture that makes a sinner cry out for salvation they falsely spiritualize the threat right out the text causing no need for repentance.
I just point these things out from time to time to let the newcomers know the craftiness of their plot and we all don't hold those views.
Romans 16:17 tells us to mark these that causes division.
"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them".
These false teachers permitted by God to manifest who's his and who's not. as seen here in 1 Corinthians 11:19.
"For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."
God bless.

If it is ambiguous regarding my beliefs on who is saved, I will clearly state that salvation is all encompassing. There was a time when it bothered me when I began to change my mind one hundred eighty degrees on this issue. Being what I consider a Christian since a young age, it was a rather fearful thought, considering the possibility I could be a heretic. Yet, for me to remain in a such a fearful and depressing state as I was at that time, even though I was well versed in the scriptures, I had to consider that something must be amiss. I ultimately realized that the possibility of heresy was better than remaining at suicides doorstep, as odd as this may seem to some readers. Therefore, please understand that I'm ok with that label if you or others wish to identify me as such, rather than God's Holy Creation. I will always respect your free will to choose to believe what you desire and will not purposely condemn or damn anyone, as this would be in violation of my system of thought striving to see only love in All God's creation, which I consider also to be the Vision of Christ.
In regards to your first question, I cannot answer for those whom you are perceiving as bothering your ministry. Yet if, as you stated that they stated, "you have nothing to lose whether you believe or not," I most definitely disagree. One would surely miss out on the joy and peace in this perceived life by not forgiving, and sharing the Love of Christ with ALL of God's creation.
As I said in a previous post: We who are not at war (opposition in our mind) must look for brothers and recognize all whom we see as brothers, because only equals are at peace. Choosing guilt always results in anger and in turn attack, thus destroying peace. God knows you only in peace, and this is our truth.
All power is of God. What is not of Him has no power to do anything.
You are truly blessed.
GOD IS
In the context you seem to be given here, that we will be a god over what is given to us to rule over, then that is consistent with the language of the Scriptures in that what is meant by the world "god" in such a context refers to a ruler or one in authority. It does not imply true deity, as only the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have true deity and alone are the One True God who is incomparable to any other being, not only because all other beings are created by Him, but that His Being is vastly different than any being He created.
Within the context of what you have stated, it could be said that a father or mother are "gods" over their children because they have God given authority over their children. And a president or king could be considered a "god" over those they whom they govern. But we must not mix together the Godhood of Jesus to be anything likened to these "gods" as He is both Truly God and truly man in one person. Any so called "god" on earth is merely human through and through, and any power or authority in the heavenly realm, be it angels or other celestial beings are "gods" in that they have delegated power and authority from God, but are strictly a created member of the heavenly hosts.
I assert in my posts that Scripture teaches that there is only one God who is truly divine, never created, infinite in His Being in every way, perfect and complete in every aspect about Himself without drawing from anything outside of Himself, self-sustaining, self-sufficient, and self-satisfied within Himself. He alone is eternal from everlasting to everlasting. He alone is the Sovereign of all things, excluding any other being as God. He alone is the one we worship and serve.
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
Psalms 91 some believe it's written by David. But others attributed to Moses due to its content and textual similarity to Psalm 90, its use of Deuteronomic language, and various

We are going to be a god is the exactness of Jesus, not a god in he exactness of the Father.
God Bless You!
No I wasn't referring to you.
My intention is to let the newcomers know and see when passing by that we're all not part of this heresy.
There is a group that has been on the site for atleast 2 years to stand in the way of a msg that some of us believe is important.
However this group says the msg is not important because everyone will be saved regardless.
If that is the case why bother our ministering for these past several years?
In their own words you have nothing to loose whether you believe or not.
My question is, "Well why stand in the way?

I did not address the topic of the church being the bride of Christ in my posts. I do believe what the Scriptures say about Jesus being the bridegroom as far as believers being made one in Christ. Being made "one" does not mean we become Jesus, as if our humanity is absorbed into His deity. In a marriage, the two people are unified but still two distinct persons.
In life everlasting, we will be privileged to in union with Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit. We will be glorified with Christ. But the Bible does not teach that a separate new baby Holy Spirit or Christ is birthed in each of us as a result of this union. That is what I addressed in my post as false teaching. God is not multiplied in us, but He dwells in us. We have a human spirit, soul, and body. The Holy Spirit is divine Spirit. He dwells within us without any change to His essence. To be a "baby" Spirit or Christ, as you have said, who cannot yet talk because He is a baby and must grow up, indicates that God in His essence changes, as in He ages in time. This is a false idea that presents God falsely, diminishing Him to the level of a human.
Thank you for your reply.
Does Jesus have a GOD?
Yes he does, he says so himself.
Is Jesus a God, Yes he says so himself,
In Jesus the Father; No, he says so himself.
Did Jesus create the world and all things; YES and NO, the Father created all things TROUGH Jesus.
Jesus is the instrument in the hand of his God and Father.
Does Jesus know all things, NO, he says so himself.
Are we the instrument in Jesus hand; Yes, he says so himself.
Was Mosses an instrument in Jesus hand, Yes, and Mosses was given power over Pharaoh.
The Father commanded Jesus to have power and authority over creation, Jesus is a God over creation.
Jesus commands his brethren, as they are translated in to the kingdom, to have power and authority over certain aspects of his kingdom, he makes them gods to certain things, and they rule as a god, and have power as a god.
Exodus 7:1 And the Lord (and God of Moses), said unto Mosses, I (your Lord and God) have made thee a (lord) and god over Pharaoh.
Psalms 136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods ....
Daniel 2:47 ....that your God is a God of gods .....
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in the Lord Jesus:
Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, though it not robbery to be equal with God.
Jesus is not the God and Father of ALL, but has ALL the power and authority of his God and Father, and when God his Father tells him what to DO, he does so with ALL power and authority of GOD.
We will do the same thing, in the kingdom, Jesus will give us ALL power and authority of certain things in the kingdom, and we will be a god over what put under us.
This will happen when Jesus resurrects all the dead back to their flesh and the saints judge the earth.
God Bless You.
Life is tough, no doubt about it. Jesus never meant it to be easy. He said in this world we will have trouble. The promise, however, it that He has overcome this world. When we remember our calling and our inheritance in heaven, we will more adequately keep our eyes fixed upon Him Who will keep us in perfect peace no matter what difficulties come our way. As Isaiah 26:3 says, "The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You." It is a challenge to stay the course and be steadfast, but if we can keep our minds fixed upon Christ and rest upon Him by faith, He will keep us in perfect peace. The Christian life is not easy, but it can be one of great joy, incomprehensible peace, intimacy with our Lord, and rest for our souls.
Now lets go back to verse 1 John 4:17, "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of JUDGEMENT: because as he is, so are we in this world."
Combine the above verse with 1 John 3:21-22, "21-Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22-And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."
So lets go back to the verse "there is no fear in Love" and interprete it properly.
/When I have love for God and my brethern and that is shown by both obeying God's commandments and help my brethern when they are in a need, then I can assure myself that i have eternal life and there is no need to fear God in the final Judgment./
The above verse should always be served inside all the rest of the verses that are related to it. Because if it served on its own it may lead to wrong conclusions.
