Bible Discussion Thread

Hi everyone ,i dont mean to harp on about this or get on anyones nerves ,i have noticed that it seems to be americans that believe that Jesus is actually God ,please correct me if im wrong ,here in the uk the only people that i know for sure believe that ,are catholics ,we have a very strong protestant credo over here so im very much not alone on this side of the pond ,love in Christ to you all .

Your comment sounds like an attack on Christians who believe the Bible. Why do you post such a thing on a Bible website and what is your goal? To unite or divide?

Christians believe Jesus is God because the Bible clearly says He's God. Is that reason enough? John 1:1 flat out says it. So, so all the scriptures below that even children read and understand. It needs no creative interpreting, needs no progressive pastor to interpret, just literally what it says. Jesus being God doesn't mean He's God the Father, but God the Son. God became a man and died for you, do you believe Him?

Claiming that Christians who read the scriptures and believe are somehow just 'Americans' or 'Catholics' seems like a disingenuous attack on Christians. Labeling and dividing and lying is what I've seen done to make such anti-Christ arguments. Anyone who does this is on extremely dangerous ground. Anyone who tries to spread anti-Christ lies should be ashamed of themselves.

1 John 2:22-24

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."

Sacha,

Jesus was born of God from the flesh of man. He never sinned. He lived on earth 33 years, in a restricted human capacity. He was resurrected into everlasting life as a God. He shed his earthly chains to sit at the right hand side of God. From caterpillar to butterfly, a human God is born.

The distinction problem stems from verses blatantly contradicting each other, negating any evidence gathered.

FAITH need replace speculation.

God bless

Sacha,

I would believe your testimony, however Mary was impregnated by the Holy Ghost, making Jesus God.

If what you say is true, then Jesus should be mocked for being a straw man. How can you fully respect someone who is a fraud, someone who was handed everything? That could have been me, or anyone God picked to play Messiah. Whatever the case, lets just get on with it till it's over.

The Bible ,the actuall words of God beat everything ,im not much into speculation ,though when i do do it i always know that thats what im doing . When my faith or understanding fail me i go to the actuall Bible ,not my own imagination or daydreams or the internet ,Gods words are just like Him ,unchanging . I for one am very glad and happy to rely on them as a whole .
