Bible Discussion Replies PAGE 1311

Bonnie Another point I wanted to make was that whats known as The Trinity or Holy Trinity is God , Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit being the exact same entity. That started at the creed of nicea during Emperor Constantines Rulership and was adopted as doctrine. I personally don't see that scripturally but again people get excited about this.

Precious friend, Bonnie, yes The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty, With God His Father, And, With The Holy Spirit. They Are "THREE Who Are ONE!" ( 1 John 5:7)

More Scriptural Confirmation:

Is The Holy Spirit God?: According To The Pure And Holy Scriptures!:

(A) The Holy Spirit Is The God That "Ananias And Sapphira lied to!"

( Acts 5 : 3-4 KJB!).

(B) The Holy Spirit IS The God That Raised JESUS CHRIST From The Dead!,

( Romans 8 : 9-11 cp 1 Corinthians 6 : 14; 2 Corinthians 4 : 14; 1 Peter 3 : 18)

(C) The Holy Spirit IS The Omnipresent God That Dwells IN All "believers,"

Being The "Blessed Teacher!," For: Understanding!

( Romans 8 : 9-11 cp 1 Corinthians 3 : 16, 6 : 19, 2 : 13!)

Is JESUS CHRIST The Almighty God?What Saith The

PureAnd Holy Written WORD Of God, The SCRIPTURES?

The First 13 { of 150+ } SCRIPTURAL "Reasons" {Evidence!}

JESUS CHRIST Is Almighty God:

1) God Was Manifest In The Flesh! ( 1 Timothy 3 : 16)

JESUS CHRIST Was Manifest In The Flesh! ( John 1 : 14)

2) JESUS CHRIST Is EMMANUEL

"interpreted = God With us!" ( Matthew 1 : 21-23)

3) The SON, JESUS CHRIST Is Called

God, By HIS Own Father! ( Hebrews 1 : 8)

4) JESUS CHRIST Is Called

The Great God And Saviour! ( Titus 2 : 13)

5) JESUS CHRIST Is Called

The Mighty God! ( Isaiah 9 : 6 cp Jeremiah 32 : 18)

6) JESUS CHRIST Is Called

The True God And Eternal Life! ( 1 John 5 : 20)

7) JESUS CHRIST Is Over All, God,

Blessed For Ever. Amen! ( Romans 9 : 5)

8) ALLthe angels of God Worship HIM!

( Hebrews 1 : 6), therefore, It IsImpossible

for JESUS CHRISTto be = "Michael the archANGEL!"

Therefore, All The Evidence In The Pure And Holy WORD Of God

Plainly And Clearly Teaches Allhumble students That:

JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty! Amen?

to be continued...

Bonnie Are you asking if there the exact same being, I don't see that scripturally but that one is a hot debate, the reason I don't see it Jesus christ right now is sitting at the right hand of Gods throne, the scripture say God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, but like I said there's two sides to that.

Bdavis Ruggedly handsome to look at

God has only one head as creation reveals this , man made in Gods image has only one head and one personality.

God plainly said IAM God and no other beside me .

The truth will set you free .

Part 3:

Here is what I believe with all my heart. I've received Jesus Christ into my life. At the point of my salvation, He gave me His Spirit. His Spirit came into my spirit and sealed me. I now belong to Christ. He purchased me with His blood. He owns me. My dear sister in Christ, He owns you also.

Now, If His Spirit is in us, wherever He goes, we go. He has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. ( Hebrews 13:5). When I die physically, my physical body will lay in the grave and give the appearance of "sleep." But the Spirit of Christ in me which has sealed my spirit will leave my body and go to be in the Lord's presence. The Lord is not going to allow His Spirit to remain in the grave. And where His Spirit goes, we go.

If I may say this one more time, we as believers are not going to be judged for our sin because Jesus already payed our debt. We will stand before the Lord at what is called the Bema Seat of Christ where we will be judged, not for sin, but as believers, we will be judged on how we responded to God's Spirit in our lives every time His Spirit spoke to our hearts and persuaded us to do the things of the Lord. That is what we will be judged on. Everything that was not of Christ is going to burn, and whatever is left over, the things we did in response to the persuasion of God's Spirit in our lives persuading us to do His will, that will be our reward.

I know this was a little long, but I think this is important. This is a salvation issue. I hope this brings you some comfort. May the Lord continue to work in your heart, may He continue to transform and renew your mind daily through His word, and I pray that He brings comfort to your heart to the loss of your dear sister. It is okay to grieve. Jesus knows what we go through and He says it is okay to grieve. But He says do not be overcome with grief. Please know that you don't have to ask Christ for strength. He is your strength!

Solomon looked Mediterranean RUDDY like David

" Song of Solomon 1:5-6 King James Version

5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me.

1 Kings 11

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter--Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites.

2

They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love.

3

He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

4

As Solomon grew older, his foreign wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

5

He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech: the detestable god of the Ammonites.

6

So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done.

7

On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the Ammonites.

8

He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.

9

The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

10

Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD's command.

Mishael: Later, God did tear the kingdom from Solomon.

However, only what is recorded in scripture is what we recognize to be trustworthy and true: God's Word=Jesus Christ.

We have to harmonize what is recorded in the Books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles; to get the whole picture of w

Part 2:

So now, what happened to the other section where the Old Testament believers were before Christ came? When Jesus dismissed His Spirit on the cross, He went down and proclaimed the victory. You can read that in Matthew 25:50-53. So now, when a believer dies, they go to be with the Lord.

Another thing to look at is the thief who was crucified next to Jesus. He said to Jesus "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." That's all the thief said. There was no sinner's prayer. He did this based on the Lord's mercy. "Lord, remember me. That is all I ask when you come into your kingdom." And the Lord response was "Today, you will be with me in paradise." Wow, today. Not you will go to the grave and have to wait to be with me. Jesus said today!

It is true that we will all have to stand before God and give an account of our lives. Every single person will do that. But for the believer who dies in Christ, we do not wait to be judged before we go to be with the Lord. A believer will not be judged for sin because Christ paid the penalty for our sin. The non-believers are the ones who will be judged for their sin.

Also, there will be two more future resurrections. When Jesus returns for His church, His bride, all those who have died in Christ from the time of His ascension into heaven until the time He comes, they will be resurrected from the grave, not their spirit because their spirit went to be with the Lord, but their body will be raised from the grave, and it will be a glorified, incorruptible body, and their spirit will rejoin that body and be forever with the Lord. Again, the non-believing dead will not be resurrected at this time. They will be resurrected after the thousand years, they will be judged for their sin, and they will be eternally separated from Christ.

I am going to need one more post.......

Trisha,

This may be a little long but I think what I have to share with you is important and might bring some comfort to your heart. I am going to break this up into hopefully two parts so please bear with me.

Part 1:

My apology for not responding sooner. I am retired military and I still work for the military as a civilian. My day at work today has been a little crazy so I have not had a chance to respond. First off, I am so sorry to hear about you losing your dear sister. I know that has to be tough. The only comfort that can be found is in knowing that if she received Christ into her life, she is now with Him. I'll try my best here to explain why I believe we go to be with the Lord immediately after death.

When a person dies, their physical body is buried in the grave, but their spirit goes to be with the Lord. This was not the case before Jesus came. Their body was still buried, their spirit still departed the body, but they didn't go immediately to be with Jesus. Before Jesus came, when people died, their physical bodies were buried in the grave, but their spirit departed the body and went to a place that was divided into two sections, one for the Old Testament saints, and one for the lost. You can read about this in Luke 16:19-31.

Today this place still exists, but only now, there are no believers there, only the unsaved. There are no longer two sections there, but one. And that one section is only non-believers who have died without God in their lives. They will remain there until after the one-thousand year reign of Christ, and then they will be released during that resurrection, judged at what is called the Great White Throne Judgement, and then cast into the lake of fire. No believer will be at that judgment.

I will continue with a Part 2....

Trinity is not in the Bible. The Bible says Godhead.

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

To REFUSE this knowledge, is to reject the Son of God, and his provision.

PS. I have these scriptures noted on the inside cover of my Bible.

"The abomination of desolation sitting in the holy place". Could I ask for interpretation on this?

Hi Larry , I see satan every day when I look in the mirror .

Hi George , yes , some people do believe in it , I think they are mostly Catholics and I think it is a Catholic doctrine . There are plenty of people who don't believe in it and who just believe what it says in the Bible . In the UK it tends to be Protestants who don't believe it and Catholics who do . That may be different in other countries .

Rick colombo I've met people in my life that told me about dreams or things they saw and questioned if it was from God or not. I said to them first If you get info from God He will explain it, also it will bless you and whoever it applies to, will never contradict His Word and always Glorify him, there will be no confusion to it because God is not the author of confusion.

The expression:" God's wrath Day ", in Zephaniah, chapter 1 verse 18, raises a very important matter, about truth and God's character. Men tend to anthropomorphize God, despite bible's teaching, clearly establishing the primacy of God's nature, singularity and unique features. This is abundantly evident in the beauty and harmony of creation.

The bible simple forbidds men's jugment, reggarding one another, wich implies,also, not juging God!

God through Zephaniah, warn's human kind, about Life's seriousness, facing the fact that God has to be impartial towards all the inhabitants of the Universe, and determine one day, to put an end to evil, suffering and death, for ever.

Love implies mercy and justice, otherwise, woul be a blind love. God gives us life and a brain, to obtain not just knowledge, but also wisdom! If parents had just a blind love, wouldn't it be harmfull to their children?

Wouldn't it be,also, disastrous to all inteligent beings in the Universe, if GOD was just merciful and not fair, in perpetuating evil, with all his consequences, eternally.

That's why GOD is willing to sacrifice Himself, according to His mercy and justice!

It's written: God was at the cross, hiding His presence in dark clouds.The Bible establishes the unity of God, in three distinct entities! (see genesis 19:24)

Before the Creation of inteligent, thougtfull individuals, He had already decided to die as a man, for, not only men's sake, but also in behalf of all the intelligent Universe.

I would suffer for a while, than not being alive, at all.

The process of giving birth can be painful, but I'm thankful to my mother and GOD for seeing the light and being alive, than instead being an abortion. It's written that God, is God of the living, not of the dead! For God, those who died in christ, live, as if they had been already ressurected. The dead in Christ, will ressurect first, with a glorious body, like Him, and will live in a perfect, eternaly happy knew Earth and Universe.

Matthew 28.20

Jesus is with us to see us through to the very end .

Watch and pray , behold he comes quickly.

Do not look for a pre trib rapture , that would be long before the end and is a delusion at best .

Jesus will see us through to the end , it's the fathers good pleasure to give us the kingdom , we are not appointed to wrath , but men will hate us etc . Read the end of revelation.

you're correct in that the word trinity is not found, that's just playing with words, but you will find many passages that tell of the triune God, these are but a few.

1 John 5:7-9, For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son." John 1:1-18, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Clayton, Precious friend. Two things concerning "baptized to be saved":

(1) Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL: The Twelve Were Sent to water baptize!

The TWO Main, of 12 baptisms =

A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!" ( Matthew 3:5-6) ( Mark 1:4) ( Luke 3:3) ( John 1:31) ( Luke 7:29-30) ( Acts 10:37) ( Matthew 28:19) ( Mark 16:16) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 22:16) ( Ezekiel 36:25) ( John 18:35) ( Exodus 19:6)

+

B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! ( Isaiah 44:3) ( Matthew 3:11) ( Mark 1:8) ( Mark 16:17-18) ( Luke 24:49) ( Acts 2:17-18) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 8:15-17) ( Acts 11:16)

Prophecy/Law

Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From Things That Differ!:

(2) Mystery/GRACE! = our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:

Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?:

Today: Only ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION,

Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!!

( Ephesians 4:5) ( Colossians 2:12) ( Galatians 3:27) ( Romans 6:3-4)

( 1 Corinthians 12:13)

-------------------------------

Thus, This ONE Baptism Is Performed, By God, Today, Under God's GRACE/MYSTERY Program, when the believer "confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior and believes that He died and rose again, and God saves them" in the twinkling of an eye.

So, "water baptism" Is Scriptural, But Dispensationally, "was for the Previous Law/Prophecy Program" of God, For ISRAEL!

Conclusion, water baptism is Scriptural, but, TODAY, is UNdispensational! Amen?

Please be Richly Encouraged, enlightened, exhorted, and edified!

In John 3:1-7

Clayton Acts 1:8 also Acts 2:38 also Acts 9:18 last but not least Romans 10:9+10 don't see any water just baptised or clothed with or endued with power from holy spirit. I'll stick with the scriptures

Hi Geoffrey.

Part 3.

Purchased Possession seated in Heavenly places.

Revelation 5:7-13. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast ( REDEEMED US TO GOD BY THY BLOOD OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION; )

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

NOTE: ALL BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION!!

God bless.

Hi Geoffrey.

Part 2.of 3.

Now that we have been loosed from the curse of the law, We take these verses in consideration.

NOW READ "ALL" OF ROMANS 7.

It clears up some of the trouble people have with Romans 7.

.......... Romans 7:2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is LOOSED FROM THE LAW OF HER HUSBAND.........

Also.

Colossians 3:3-4. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Also

Ephesians 2:5-6. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS:

There's many others but look ahead to Revelation where Christ Claims his possession!!!

Revelation 5:1-6. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

See part 3.

Is Jesus and God the same person

what does it mean that David was ruddy in 1 samuel 17:42

Judy,

In my opinion, we are currently in tribulation which started Sept 11, 2001 (fifth trumpet)

The Great tribulation starts at the sixth trumpet (you will not miss it like the others).

The Holy Spirit will be there to comfort the besieged through it all..

S Spencer That word sealed is the word sphragizo long o which means to put on a royal untouchable and irreversable stamp on the complete work accomplished. Just an addition to what you shared.

Gerald Gods spirit and power are always around He is Omnipresent.

There is no where in the bible the word trinity is written but people believe in it?

In Matthew 10:32 what does it mean when it says "only in the name of a disciple?"

I completey agree. caught up with that theroy when i heard that the snake begulied (sex) Eve. but, Eve said I did eat of the fruit! I scratched my head on that one and stuck in my mind. So, when i ask for wisdom, it came to me from the Word. That Adam Knew is Wife and birth cain from the Lord. I tell you what if you let the holy spirit speak to your mind and listen, the truth will be reveald. Thank you Jesus!
