    Bob, Jesus told Satan He was God when He was being tempted, 3 separate times, time would not permit me to tell you about the sermon on the mount or about the "b attitudes" and I think that's where we as professed Christians have erred in that we gave these "lessons" knick names or "casual titles" of teachings when in fact a lot of what Jesus taught or said was either law or he made an adjustments to that law, because he came to fulfil it Matt 5:17-18 when Jesus said that he in a sense gave himself a death sentence because only one person could do that in the eyes of the Jews and that is God(the Jews only believed in 1 God) another example is found in Matt 5:27-28 every Jew will tell you that it was God who instituted the laws but here we have Jesus making adjustments to them that's why the Jews wanted him killed, another time, John 10:30-31 ask any orthodox Jew who the Father is and they will tell you Jehovah, or Lord, or God yet Jesus just professed to them "I and my Father(which is Spirit) are one. Hoped this helped. God Bless!
  • SCRIPTURES OF WHEN GOD SPOKE - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Verses showing God speaking to Jesus and one of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove for John the Baptist to witness:

    Matthew 3:17

    And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

    Luke 9:35

    And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

    Mark 1:11

    And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

    Mark 9:7

    And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

    Luke 3:22

    And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, AND a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

    Matthew 17:5

    While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

    Following are verses clearly of the Godhead speaking to each other:

    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.

    "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."

    Brother Carleton:

    I BELIEVE that Jesus did MAKE A CHOICE; BUT:

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God (SPIRIT) that WORKETH IN YOU (in Christ, also) Both TO WILL and TO DO of his (the SPIRIT'S) good pleasure.

    John 5:30 I can or MYSELF DO NOTHING: as I hear (the SPIRIT), I judge (by the SPIRIT), and my judgement (by the SPIRIT) is just; because I seek not my own will, but THE WILL of the Father (SPIRIT) which hath SENT ME.

    John 10:18 No man taketh IT (LIFE by SPIRIT) from me, but I lay IT (LIFE by SPIRIT) down of myself (I can of myself do nothing). I have power (by the SPIRIT) to take IT (LIFE by SPIRIT) again. This commandment ( John 15:10) have I received of my Father.

    Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, into thy hands (God; SPIRIT) I commend my (the Father's) SPIRIT ( Ephesians 4:4 there is ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT......)( John 17:21)

    Remember the bible is the words of CHRIST (the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit).

    Psalms 56:11 IN GOD (SPIRIT) have I (the SON) put my trust: I (the Son) will not be afraid of what man can do to me.

    Jesus gave his body of flesh for us, so we are able to never see DEATH; because SPIRIT NEVER DIES.

    You MUST be born of the SPIRIT (TRUTH).

  • S Spencer - In Reply on Ephesians 1 - 4 years ago
    Hi Geoffrey.

    Ephesians 1:13-14. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

    Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

    This is a deep saying here!

    First we heard the Gospel of our salvation.

    We believed it.

    And right away we were SEALED with the Holyspirit of promise.

    Which is the EARNEST/"DOWN PAYMENT" of our inheritance.

    UNTIL the redemption of the PURCHASED POSSESSION!!! Unto the praise of his glory.

    Let's look into this, First of all we were sealed with the Holyspirit of promise! "Eternal security "

    We are sealed "WITH" the Holyspirit of promise, Which is the Down-payment of our inheritance. UNTIL the redemption of the PURCHASED possession.

    Jesus prayed in Mathew 26:39-45. three times if there be any other way take this cup from him. "And the Father never relieved him from this burden, So the price of this redemption, and the purchased possession was the highest of value!!

    And It was the blood of Christ that bought us. HE WILL REDEEM HIS PURCHASE. You have been SEALED "Providing that in your heart you truly believed " This puts

    John 10:28. in mind.

    NOTE:

    Acts 20:28. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD.

    Here's What we were redeemed from:



    Galatians 3:13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

    The law brought death, Paul said when the law came he died. There is nothing to add to what Christ paid to redeem us, If so God would have answered his prayer.

    And "IF" you have you have been SEALED you "ARE" barring fruit because you have been given the Holyspirit.

    God bless.

    Ronald We are on the same page to me its not a case of my understanding, God wrote what he mean't some day we might believe this stuff. If it doesn't fit like a wet suit on a human so to speak somethings wrong. I walked out of a Church one time because a guy told a story of How God Killed a pastors child to teach Him and His wife a lesson, made me sick. You are not showing me that scripturally and I don't care how you twist it. My Bible says John 10:9 The thief cometh not but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Verse 10 I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. I'll Go With Gods Word God Bless P.S. it's not a case what we think its a case of It Is Written.

    Brother S Spencer, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    1 John 3:2 (NOT GODS) I assume this is because of my response to Chris.

    I BELIEVE that everyone on this site is here because God has CAUSED them to be here.

    I BELIEVE all on this site are seeking TRUTH and God has CAUSED them to be here for that TRUTH.

    We just SHARE God's Words; it's the SPIRIT that reveals the TRUTH.

    Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and ONE SPIRIT.....

    John 4:24 God is SPIRIT....

    There is only ONE SPIRIT (GOD)

    Christ was the Firstborn of that ONE SPIRIT, being born again of that ONE SPIRIT we are Joint Heirs with Christ.

    Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

    Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the FORM of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.

    Mark 12:20 .... The Lord our God, is ONE LORD.

    2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass (mirror) the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same IMAGE from glory to glory, even as by the (ONE) Spirit of the Lord.

    1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined into the Lord is ONE SPIRIT.

    Ephesians 4:4....ONE SPIRIT....

    John 4:24 God is SPIRIT

    Joshua 22:22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods .....

    John 10:34 Is it not written in you LAW, I said, ye are gods

    Matthew 5:17 ....but to fulfil (the LAW).

    Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods, the children of the most high.

    Psalms 136:2 O give thanks to the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever.
  • Chris - In Reply on Psalms 82 - 4 years ago
    Thank you for that explanation brother Earl. I understand Luke 8:5-15 & can even understand your explanation of it. However, in the parable, Jesus uses the 'seed' as an illustration of God's Word being planted into various heart types. It's not used as God being planted/fallen by the wayside/etc. in their hearts. Even though the seed represents God's Word, if we interpret it as God being planted & therefore the Spirit being planted, then we corrupt the meaning & intent of that parable.

    If we then allow that type of interpretation to continue, so many passages, such as Isaiah 41:8, "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend", might just compel one to think of the "seed of Abraham" to mean 'God's Word/God/a multiplication of gods, instead of simply Abraham's progeny. Even in evangelism, the evangelist shares/scatters the seed over different hearts. He does not scatter God or the Holy Spirit - I believe there must be a distinction, or else the meaning becomes clouded or lost.

    1 Peter 1:23: here again, the Word is that the believers were born again by incorruptible seed (God's Word) as opposed to the corruptible traditions that were first delivered by their fathers (v 18) that could not give a new birth. We might agree with that one but I would disagree with: "When we depart this body of flesh; Spirit ONLY remains, Spirit is GOD, we become (the image of) God." Our spirit never becomes God; our spirits are renewed by the Holy Spirit (born again) & we bear the Image of God, but whether on Earth or depart from it, our spirits don't become God. And this belief then impacts how you understand Psalm 82. As I've already given my understanding of this Psalm in this thread to Samuel, I won't repeat it, except to state that I disagree in toto with your understanding of it; i.e. it is not prophetical at all, rather a warning to the rulers & judges, to which Jesus also inferred in John 10:34.

    I appreciate your contribution Earl.

    Rickie John 1 In the Epistle of 1 John 4:8 Gods word states that God is Love, there fore it is Impossible for anything mean or evil to start out that way by God. Gods created spiritual beings and man in the beginning are given freedom of will because the true God doesn't force people to do things, christians serve out of love there is no manipulation the adversary lies, manipulates and uses the true Gods words to His advantage John 10:9 The thief cometh not but to steel kill and destroy, there's your mean guy, he didn't start out that way.
  • Chris - In Reply on Psalms 82 - 4 years ago
    Hello Samuel. Psalm 82 is a clear condemnation to the unjust judges of Israel & their rulers. Where we see "gods" in verses 1 & 6, in Hebrew it is 'Elohim', otherwise rendered as god, divines, judges & rulers. In this Psalm, 'gods' clearly refers to judges who judged unjustly (vv 2-5) & would therefore hear their Judge (the LORD) pronounce their verdict of death (vv 6,7).

    Jesus, in John 10:34 quotes this Psalm. You might remember the occasion: the Jews took up stones to stone Jesus for blasphemy (i.e. they believed that Jesus was a mere man & not on equal terms with God). Then Jesus responded to them: "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" As it was in Psalm 82, so the same condemnation is given by Jesus here, to these Jews who came 'upholding the Law & determining whether a man be condemned or not'. As God condemned those unjust judges in the Psalm, so Jesus is telling them that if they are in a position of being His judge now, why should they condemn Him for being the Son of God, One Who did God's Works in the Name & Power of God Almighty? ( John 10:34-38).

    I share this extra bit on John 10 to give the connection with Psalm 82, as Jesus referred to it, that the Elohim spoken of there, applied even now, as these Jewish leaders behaved no differently to those judges in the Psalm, who judged unjustly & not with righteous judgement. And because of their responsible position, judges, society leaders & spiritual leaders who behave wickedly will receive the greater condemnation ( Matthew 23:14,23).

In Gospel of John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy word, thy word is truth. There's no other source for truth Gods Word makes known Christ. God Bless
  • Jesse - In Reply on Romans 8 - 4 years ago
    Gerald,

    It would take a lot of space to give you an answer to both these questions. I'll take question 1 and maybe someone else could help you out with the second question. John Chapter 8 is a very long chapter so I'll try and just give you a summary of the chapter unless you have specific questions on any of the verses in that chapter.

    Verses 1-8 gives us the plot concerning the woman caught in adultery. Verses 12 through 20 gives us the proof of deity from witnesses. In verses 21 through 30, we see the perplexity over spiritual matters. And then in verses 31 through 59, we see the proof of conversion. If anyone wants proof that they are saved, just take a look at verse 31 which says, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed:"

    Verse 58 is interesting. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Literally, before Abraham was in existence, I was already in existence, and always have been, the I AM of the Old Testament! These Jews knew who Jesus was claiming to be. That's why verse 59 says they took up stones to cast at Him.

    My biblical explanation of John 14:8-9:

    In verse 8, Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. It's like we've been hearing about your Father for three years, so show Him to us. You would think that maybe one of them had a girlfriend that said "Are you going to take me home to introduce me to your father? I haven't seen him. I haven't met him yet. We have been listening to you talk about your Father and that you speak His words, not your words, and that it is Him working in you, so show us the Father. Bring Him out!"

    Then Jesus says in verse 9 that if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. In John 10:31, Jesus said I and the Father are one. And He is leading into teachings now that are going to say the Father and I, we are going to make our abode in you. I am in the Father, the Father in me, and we are going to be in you. We are going to be all one!

    Thanks Brother Jesse.

    Amen The power which was performing those works is working in many believers in diverse ways, so the volume has ramped up, it is the quantity not quality as you said.

    And Jesus was not displaying gifts, He was displaying Power given to him by the Father.

    John 14:10-11. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

    Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

    I have heard several people across the years say we can do greater things than Jesus, when reading that verse, One guy even taught a class and asked when you look in the mirror who do you see? I knew where he was going with this so I said an unworthy sinner saved by the grace of God. He said I was wrong, you are seeing Jesus. You can do the miracles Jesus did if you prayed to the father and it happens all the time! "We can do greater things than Jesus!"

    I asked him can a man raise himself from the dead?

    John 10:17-18. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

    No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. ( I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.) This commandment have I received of my Father.

    Even the Apostles could not do that.

    God bless.

    Jesse I agree with what you share about coming to Christ and getting peace with God but my Bible also says John 10:9 The thief the adversary is the thief and His only ministry is to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus Christ total opposite I am come that they may have life and have it more abundant. When we come to Gods word get Humble and believe God always comes through. 1 Peter 5:6-8, the enemy of mankind wants to take life and he doesn't care how. One of the problems in our day and time we believe on Hog good The true God is but we don't believe that the enemy is absolutely evil.

  • LEON DAVIS - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Johnathan, this discussion board is not a forum for one to purposely attempt to "humiliate" a fellow believer; such is not of Christ. We are here to share and edify in love.

    Concerning the two witnesses, God always has multiple applications of a theme. Christ and the Holy Ghost are His two greatest witnesses ( John 14:16; 15:26). The Southern and Northern Kingdoms, Judah and Israel, were His two witnesses. The tribes of Judah and Benjamin became God's two witnesses when the Northern Kingdom veered into idolatry under Jeroboam. Lastly, God's two witnesses today are the Jewish and Christian folds of the kingdom ( John 10:16).

    The conversation centered on God's two great witnesses among the prophets ( Rev. 11:3, 10); for they will sit at the right and left hand of Christ ( Matt. 20:21-23). As evidence on the Mount of Transfiguration, these two witnesses are Moses and Elijah ( Matt. 17:1-3).

    Brother, one should personally decide what is truth and what is allegorical. All would agree that the Book of Revelation is highly symbolic and allegorical. However, Christ was speaking straightforwardly when He said John the Baptist was Elijah. The writer of Hebrews was speaking factually when he said neither Enoch nor Melchisedec died. Some say that the Book of Job was allegorical. However, God verified that he was a person ( Ezek. 14:14). Some think the story of Jonah was a fable. Yet, Christ spoke of him as being a real person ( Matt. 16:4).

    Greetings

    In fact the matter is profound.

    There are two kinds of man that were created by GOD: One is earthy, animal, even bestial or brut beast. Another is spiritual man, yeah, only this is really the man created in the image of GOD. Detail: Scriptures do not say GOD created "a man" as if was one, but many. Let us make man in OUR image ... many men. This work was reserved to realize in the sixth Day. Detail: One day with the Lord is as a thousand years- 2Peter 5:v.8.

    You referred to John 10:v.9-10, and you said: "Adversary the thief, steal kill and destroy." Yes, All were destroyed and were lost. JESUS said He was sent specificaly to the lost sheep of Israel-Mt.15:24, but in John 10:v.16 He left clear the salvation was for the humankind. v.16 - And other sheep I have,which are not of this fold(the Gentiles): them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

    In my prior post for you I wrote: Two thousand years ago, the Word was made flesh-JESUS- and He came to create a new creature in GOD, the Father, through the new birth and saving what had been lost through Satan's usurpation of the God's creation; In fact, without JESUS, was not any thing made that was made. John the apostle said: Now are we the sons of God,and doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,when He shalld it appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is- 1John 3:2

    If you see the Chronology and duration of biblical times, you will see or conclude that we are living in the turn of the sixth Day to the seventh Day, that is the seventh and last millennium, the Millennium of Christ. Only now, in a moment very similar when GOD went to speak with Adam in Eden in the turn of Day, I mean, only now in the turn of the sixth Day to the seventh, the man (men) will be made in the image of GOD. How will it be? JESUS explains in Luke 20:35-36.

    In Christ JESUS, KING of kings (kings made by Him), and LORD of lords
  • Tim Kane on John 10 - 4 years ago
    The difference in the Gospel of John from the gnostic Gospels used to bother me. I saw it as more fanciful. But these days I have been viewing it, in part, as a letter to Muslims, to address their issues, written 500 years before Mohammed preached Islam (according to the standard Islamic narrative of Mohammed's biography). This springs out at you in the very first verse, of the very first chapter - which is written in terms that seem out of place but a Muslim would immediately grasp: "In the beginning was the Word,..." and later in verse 14 comes the kicker, "...and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us...."

    Most Muslims are programmed to ask: "where in the Gospels does Jesus say 'I am God, worship me.'" (Islam emphasizes the majesty of God and that humans should make themselves slaves of God.) The Gospels of John address these concerns most directly, but Jesus, in John 15:15 addresses the nature of our relationship to God, we are no longer servants, but made friends with God. We are to have an intimate relationship with him.

    But, in John 10:10, Jesus, compared himself directly with Mohammed. You see Mohammed started his career as a warlord first as a caravan robber, a thief. Western Civilization is based upon Christ's teachings (and a few of his commandments) among them are: separation of church and state, search for truth, value truth, avoid falsehood, freedom to search for truth, exercise of that freedom (the theology is worked out in the parable of the Prodigal Son), love and forgiveness. For people living in the West, these principles have given us a more abundant and full life - what a gift!

    Today almost no Christian, living in the West, aspires to live in a Muslim majority country, but almost all Muslims living in a Muslim majority country aspire to live in the west. Islam threatened/encroached Western Civilization for about 1000 years. In that time about half of Christendom was lost to Islam. Today the West walks on the moon, Islam not so much.

    Yeah, there is only One GOD, but He is not as you imagine He is, i say, according your human conception. What prevails is the Word of GOD, understand?

    John 10:v.30 : JESUS said: I and my Father ARE One. JESUS is speaking of two distincts Persons: He and the GOD the Father. For me both ARE equal, there is not any diference, I mean, One is GOD the Father, and JESUS is GOD the Son, both ARE One.

    JESUS said more: I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

    Who is the third? What does GOD the Father say and reveal by His words? IOW, what is the testemony of JESUS about the third Person? John 16:v.7-15

    7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send HIM unto you.

    8 And when HE IS COME, HE will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of Judgment:

    9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

    10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

    11 Of Judgment, because the prince of this world (the Devil's world) is Judged.

    12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye CANNOT BEAR THEM now.

    13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of HIMSELF; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

    14 HE shall glorify me: for HE SHALL RECEIVE OF MINE, and shall shew it unto you.

    15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore SAID I, that HE SHALL TAKE OF MINE, and shall shew it unto you.

    What does the Word of GOD say?

    There are three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the Word(made flesh), and the Holy Spirit: and these THREE ARE One.

    JESUS left very clear: No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he TO WHOMSOEVER the Son will reveal him.

    ITS IT.
  • The Godhead Scriptures - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 1 - 4 years ago
    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. Read all those scriptures before you decide. Jesus doesn't brainwash anybody. Ask His followers.

    Repent. You're on dangerous ground.

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

    God is spirit. The Holy Spirit is spirit.

    Jesus is Son of Man.

    Anything that is not Truth__is a LIE. We know who the Father of Lies is (Satan).

    Lie is the name of a demon. Reading this is going to seriously disturb "it". If you tolerate its presence, it will let others come inside too. Matthew 12

    You need to get on YouTube and watch THE AUTHORITY of the believer in Jesus Christ. All of them.

    You need to say, The Blood of Jesus has made me whiter than snow. Isaiah 1:18.

    Fight this. Rid your house of any contamination: books, alcoholic drink, pharmaceuticals, the Holy Spirit will show you.

    May I suggest you scribble those down on the back pages of your Bible? It comes up a lot.

    There may be more...
