They seem to claim that Jesus was God .
In regards to your third paragraph; I've never said or inferred something exists outside of God such as the knowledge of the universe or history. I'm completely befuddled how you could infer this, when I've made it perfectly clear that nothing except God exists. These things can't exist outside His essence simply because they do not exist at all. What God did not create can only be in our own mind apart from His. They are not reality. Only what God creates is. His essence denies His ability to know of anything that is not reality (exists). He does not believe in illusions (dreams). Knows nothing of them. Only reality.
"Sometimes we say things that seem reasonable but they may be subtly off the mark of what is true". Sound familiar? Surely you must also apply your own suggestion to yourself. Yet, there is nothing subtle about implying God can be divided by opposing Himself. And by attributing to Him qualities from the dark.
When light enters darkness the darkness is abolished. Light abolishes darkness by showing us the darkness and everything with it is NOT there (does not exist, not real). Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is fear (darkness) does the idea of exceptions SEEM to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful because they are made by fear.
I'll say it again - God is Knowledge; but knowing only what exists in reality, not fantasy land.
And again: Anything that comes from God must be exactly like Him. God could not create anything that is not perfect, or else He wouldn't be perfect. The logic of that is flawless. If God is perfect and eternal, then by definition, anything He creates would also have to be perfect and eternal. Nothing subtle about this.
Peace,
GOD IS
Yet it appears as if you've given every attribute there is to God; His and ours which oppose His. That leaves nothing left for satan. Where does he play apart in this. If you say he doesn't, I would agree, because as I've already pointed out, nothing except God can exist, including the "devil".
Guess who's dreaming and having nightmares? God's children, including myself. Wake up oh sleepers, rise from the "dead" and Christ will shine on us.
I don't have any more time at present. I was very happy and thankful to hear your recent physical challenges have gone well. I'm confident we both agree that without your faith and love for God, this would have been a much, much more worrisome time for
you. You are blessed.
Continued blessings,
GOD IS

This may sound like a competition thing, but please don' take it that way, but I believe I perceive God as simpler than you do. Neither, as you, do I believe God is a "composite of many things indicating that He has many parts that together make up the whole of him," unlike us. Yet, if I've correctly understood you over the months, you attribute God's qualities not only to love but also fear, like most on this site. You should know by now I believe God is only Love. How simple is that? No conflict, no doubts, no wavering, no nothing like shifting shadows, no opposition in my mind regarding Who God Is. You believe in love and fear, holiness and sin, spirit and flesh, heaven and hell, life and death, innocence and guilt, worthiness and condemnation along with punishment, condemnation, wrath, vengeance and damnation. Peace and war, and so on. You and others have made this very clear that this is your God. Therefore you DO believe God is ACTUALLY a composite of MANY things indicating that He has many parts that together make up the whole of Him. And just LIKE us. Not very simple.
My simple belief: God is One. God is only Love, and everything in and One with this Love is holiness, Spirit, heaven, life, innocence, worthiness, peace, etc. These are not many things or parts separate from God. They are God, i.e. the Mind of God.
I'll repeat what I've stated in past postings. What except God can exist? Nothing beyond Him can happen, because nothing except Him is real. What God did not create does not exist, and everything that does exist exists as He created it. The world we see has nothing to do with reality. It is of our own making and it does not exist.What God creates has no alternative, the truth arises from what He knows, not what we mistakenly perceive and see with the bodies eyes.
You said, "We can describe God by His known attributes and by attributes that He doesn't possess." I agree.

My question is who is the person who fell at Jesus' feet.
Its confusing to me because if its John why would Jesus tell him not to worship him and that he was of his brethren.
Was it the Spirit that was showing John what John needed to know?
Acts 10:17, " Now while peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate",
V18, " And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there."
V19, "While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee".
V20, "Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing:for I have sent them".
V21, "Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ya are come?"
V22, " And they said, Cornelius the centurion, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear the words of thee."
I do not see anywhere in the bible where the Lord was upset at Peter speaking or preaching water baptism.
Show me.
Also, the Lord gave Peter the keys to the kingdom in Matthew 16:19,
"And I will give unto thee the keys to the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven". Peter preached Acts 2:38 & he was not in error doing so.
I believe that by saying that it is Joshua and not Jesus, you mislead people from the rest in the Lord and the day! Which it clearer states was never changed from the Sabbath of the Lord our God the creator of the world. (The Catholic church changed the Sabbath to Sunday. They say that is the mark of their ecclesiastical authority. During the reformation the Pope told Martin Luther to follow the Bible and its authority. Although he did not, sadly.)
So, if the Jesus being used in the 'Greek' in Hebrews is Joshua then wouldn't it stand to reason that all the Jesus references would be as well?
God wants all likeminded churches to come together for time is running out on us. How can we help accomplish this task? Following Gods will in my life, can I get a witness?
This is, perhaps why God chose Paul, He had a tremendous understanding of the law, but saw only one side of it while He torchered and killed believeing children of God!
It would be His sight restored, seeing Jesus in His true Light , that He would be stood up, and begin His ministry!
Satan has been thwarted {thrown off Balance} in His desire to decieve man.
While alive in this body, we may or may not be subject unto the laws of God. It is a freedom that we have. If we are not subjected unto the law, then Christ could not serve us, for we would have no need for His redemption! If we are subject unto the law, our new balance will be found in the death and ressurection of Christ. No longer subjected unto the law, but clothed in the righteousness of Christ!
This was Gods plan from the beginning! This inherited righteousness will keep Satan and all His works off balance. While we live and move in this body, covered in the blessedness of the savior, satan will never predict our next move!
Satan's last chance , trying once again until before His final demise into hell for eternity!
Repent and be Baptized
who is angel follwing israel was in desert?
2. who is told you?
3.who is Judah?
In these crazy times, I should have been deceived the same way millions of others have been, but it's no contest. I've been able to see the truth, and the lies, for what they are the whole time. It's like my eyelids are taped open and I can't help but see the truth.
The only explanation is that Jesus granted me this undeserved insight, and must have done so for a reason. I just don't know what to do next.
It's a scary time for all of us, and I want to leave darkness for good and live in the light of God. I just don't know what to do next. I know to read the Word and to pray, but it feels like I should do more. Maybe I need help finding the right scriptures to study; how to learn more about God's plan for me from here for dummies.
Any suggestions?
