    A pastor had his leg imputed and a sister told him : I speak healing to your body in Jesus name.:. He told her God is the only that can speak into existence. I believe what Jesus said. We believe we will do greater things then him And what about Mark 11:22-24 ?

    Dear Chris,

    I agree that both Adam and Grae did not want to discuss this topic beyond what they posted. I think that they had different reasons for desiring this lack of discussion, but I truly cannot know what is in anyone's mind and heart. I would love to hear their individual explanations.

    I also agree, that as this is the discussion page on this site, posting on this page, responses should be expected and I would say welcome, but not everyone wants such responses.

    For me, I have learned so much from participating in discourse on this site. I have found new ways to think and discuss the tenets of our faith as well as have been challenged by the views that differ from my to go back to the Scriptures and verify if they or I have interpreted it correctly or even if the Scripture even says what I or those who do not share the same point of view say the Scriptures say in the context of the verse within the chapter or account. Also, these discussion bring up questions or prompt me to investigate a topic or doctrine further by researching reputable sites to review view points. So, all of this has enriched me in my faith and knowledge of the triune God, the salvation we have in our Lord, Jesus Christ, the deepening of my relationship with our Savior, Jesus, and our Heavenly Father through the working of the Holy Spirit who lives within me.

    What a marvelous journey!

    Hi Robert.

    John baptism was the baptism of repentance.

    Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that THEY should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

    John was preparing the way for Israel.

    Israel trusted in the promise to Abraham made them children of Abraham because the Kinsman of the flesh. The repentance John preached was to turn them from that and turn them to Christ. "FROM UNBELIEF TO BELIEF."

    Note: Matthew 3:9-11 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

    And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

    I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

    God bless.

    In Jeremiah 15:19 God is telling Jeremiah that he will return him, even that Jeremiah would speak the Lord's word to the people; as long as the people returned to God's word through Jeremiah, instead of Jeremiah abandoning the word of God to be accepted by his people.

    Hello One Eighty,

    I believe that the truth of Jesus Christ is that He is both God and Man in one Person, so the truth of who He truly is involves a human nature with a body (which He still has in heaven-He rose bodily and ascended to heaven bodily). A person is not a human without a body, soul, and spirit. The truth of Jesus also involves His Deity as the eternal Son of God whom the Father sent to become human, God in human flesh. The Son of God existed eternally with the Father prior to the Incarnation. See John chapter 1 and Micah 5:2 and Isaiah 90:2. He did not cease to be God when He was incarnated since God cannot ever cease to exist, rather He added humanity to His divinity, possessing two natures (human and divine) in one person.

    The humanity of Jesus Christ, Son of God, had a beginning at conception, but His Deity is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting, just as the Father is eternal in the same way. Just as the Spirit is in the same way. I believe that Jesus Christ, the son of God and the Son of Man was 100% human equally 100% God, that in him are two natures that are not mixed to form a third type of nature. These two natures are distinct, yet unified in Him.

    I believe that Jesus as the God/Man is the perfect Person to bring us to God, the Father, the perfect mediator between God and Man. A human being, even if perfect, could never bring Himself to God let alone anyone else, only God can effect this communion between Himself and His creatures. And only a human who lives a perfect life can be the spotless sacrifice for the sins of the world. And also, only God can be the priceless sacrifice that can take on the sins of the whole world and the fullness of God's wrath for sin as well as forgive sins. So, Jesus, as our Savior is God and man and only in such a way is He fully able to wrought salvation for all who believe in Him in Spirit and in Truth.

    This is most certainly what I believe along with millions upon millions of Christians before me.
  • Who do - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Yes, my point exactly and that's what he did and perhaps it would have been interesting if only those people he solicited a response from would have been the ones to respond. After all, that is what he asked for so this whole thread should have been between him and those he specifically asked to respond. He didn't ask for those of us that do share his belief to respond. But what happened? Adam asks the question, a person that is supposed to respond does, and then others that are in agreement with Adam counter the person Adam was seeking out when it should have been him responding. Perhaps you disagree and that's okay.

    I do understand the open forum thing but I also have to respect his request on who he wanted responses from. Again, I am on his side in his belief on who Jesus is, and I'm sure you are also.

    Hello David. The definition of 'Doctrine'? I understand it as, 'a body or system of teachings relating to a particular subject'. So, when we have a myriad of doctrines (body of teachings) found in the Bible (of God, Christ, Holy Spirit, Salvation, Future things, etc.), these doctrines have been developed as a result of all that Scripture has revealed to us. The problem then arises as to how those Scriptures are to be interpreted, understood, & applied - hence our many Church denominations. On this medium (KJBO), we may never get to the level of examining all the intricacies of Scripture & the times of their writing, but we should at least be prepared to discuss what is given to us, whether in agreement or not, & in line with the correct exposition of supporting Scriptures.

    So, when you write, "what separated the doctrine of Jesus christ were the signs miracles, etc, that Gods power worked in and through Him". This is correct - I believe, in part. Certainly, the Life & Ministry of Jesus was filled with parables expressing Kingdom Life, His miracles & words that even confounded & angered His opponents, but if we restrict the Doctrine of Christ to only that, then we've failed to fully express (as is revealed to us), the full Person of Jesus.

    Most of us would readily agree to certain parts of that Doctrine (i.e. His Humanity, His Sinlessness, His Ministry on Earth, His Death, Resurrection, Ascension, & His present Heavenly Ministry), but when it comes to His pre-existence, His Deity, & His Kenosis (self-emptying), we run into divergent beliefs. Some believe this is either unimportant or unbiblical; unworthy of consideration. Others, as myself, believe that this part of the Doctrine is vital to knowing Jesus, the great worth of His Death, the power of His Resurrection, & the praise that belongs to Him in Heaven & on Earth. Therefore, the need to discuss these things is vital to progress to a correct understanding of Jesus & the great cost of our salvation. Blessings.

    Mark,

    Matthew 24:31 tells us that when He does come, He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet.



    I'll share some technical points with you just to show you how good this passage is:



    He is going to send His angels out with a great sound of a Shofar. It's a ram's horn.



    In the Greek text, the word "sound" is in brackets, which means it has been added to the text by some unseen person who doesn't understand the fact that the word "great" modifies the trumpet. It is called a great Shofar.



    The prophecy is found in Isaiah 27:12-13.



    It says the great Shofar will blow, and the Lord will gather His people from the four corners of the earth. So that is very important because that's a prophecy that the Jews looked for.



    It says He is going to gather them together, his elect, and that would be the Jews, from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other, north, south, east, and west.

    Dear Who Do,

    Understood. I just thought that Adam posed the question and was going to step back and listen to the viewpoints of those he was soliciting a response from.
  • Who Do Men Say (I Am)? - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Gigi, I will take your advice and go through some of these pages to read the discussions. You may be correct in that had I done that first, this discussion would have made more sense and maybe had I done that first, I would have kept out of here. But then again, reading Adam's opening statement would have caused me not to respond anyway because I believe the same as he does concerning who Jesus is (God), and he was specifically looking for responses that disagreed with his belief. Again, I am not attacking him because I think we believe the same concerning Jesus. And I am sure he meant no harm. Please know that I am neither attacking or defending anyone here. I just thought it odd for someone to post a question and then not engage in further discussion. And someone here did seem to get very upset. I will go and look for those verses you speak of. God bless you and you have a great evening!
  • Gamebred - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Read entire Romans 1:1-32

    The specifics of your question are found in verses 24-29.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 1 year ago
    This is an excellent question.

    What percentage of the Father or Mary makes up the Christ.

    1 Corinthians 15:28.

    And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL.

    God bless.
  • Chris - In Reply - 1 year ago
    I appreciated your comments on this GiGi, in reply to WDMSTIAm. I do agree with him/her, in that neither Adam nor Grae wanted to discuss the matter further (with Adam just wishing to garner responses to his post).

    Yet, for two clear reasons, no-one can not expect some response: this is the very nature of this Site & particularly this Page, and the very nature of our Textbook demands that Truth be shared & error exposed. Some may not find this important but I feel that if the apostles exposed false teachers & their errors to keep the fledgling Church on a straight course, we too must be duty-bound to do so as well. And the only way for us to do this is by bringing out pertinent Scripture & engaging in wholesome Spirit-led discussion. The evils of gnosticism & docetism was prevalent then, invading the Church & corrupting the Word & sadly it's still very much evident today.

    Will end this here as my passion for defending the Person of Jesus Christ & God's great Sacrifice in the offering up of Himself as the only true measure of that Love, will extend this submission to a much greater length. Thank you for your stand for the Truth dear sister.

    Hi Adam.

    That's true you're right.

    I believe in Angels, I also believe in demons.

    I'm not sure but those in Gen 6 may be this group.

    And the angels which kept not their first estate, but LEFT THEIR OWN HABITATION, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6.

    LEFT THEIR OWN HABITATION,

    I believe that means they sort of disrobed sort of speak or lost their position and perhaps some of the supernatural ability.

    " Like disappearing and reappearing

    I'm not sure, but I don't believe we have baby Angels running around disappearing.

    But who knows, some say one day we're going to have a baby Holy Ghost. Maybe it's one of them.

    of course I'm kidding.

    God bless.

    Hello, Who Do

    If you have been reading this site for the past few weeks, you would know that this topic was discussed very thoroughly be people posting on both sides of this issue. Adam (and others) posted lengthy Scriptural references that supported his view of the deity of Jesus. Those who thought the other way zipped right past the Scripture references Adam and others posted to post the Scripture that supported their view that Jesus was not God. When Adam (and others ) asks these posters who believed that Jesus was not God to speak to the Scriptures Adam and others posted to support the deity of Jesus, none of the posters spoke to these Scriptures. So this is most likely why Adam asked the question as he did. He was giving those who deny the deity of Christ the invitation to make their case without any rebuttal from himself, since he had already posted rebuttals already in the thread of the previous discussion. I do not think that Adam had any nefarious reasons to ask this question.

    As for Grae, he often posts his beliefs and states that he does not want to have a discussion or debate on the topic and asks that people do not post replies back to him if they were to counter his belief. I will say that Grae is free to request this when he posts. He has his reasons for posting as he does.

    I think it is very good to have serious discourse about biblical topics and that the discourse should be focused on the topic and Scriptural reasoning avoiding personal insults, attacks on one's character, or questioning of one's faith or standing before God.

    I do think that it is fair to label another's belief as unorthodox or false or heretical if it has been historically viewed as such. I do think that we can follow through with a discourse and in the end state that we stand firm in our belief and the other person is free to do so also and to admit that the discourse appears to have come to an end as each person has thoroughly presented their view in a non-hostile way.

    Matthew 24,

    North, South East & West, examples: Ezekiel 37:9, Revelation 7:1, Job 37:9,

    East Wind; Genesis 41:6,23,27, Exodus 10:13, Exodus 14:21, Psalms 48:7, Isaiah 27:8, Jeremiah 18:17, Ezekiel 17:10, Ezekiel 19:12, Hosea 13:15,

    West Wind; Exodus 10:19,

    North Wind; Proverbs 25:23,

    South Wind, Job 37:17, Luke 12:55, Acts 27:13,

    Psalms 78:26, Ecclesiastes 1:6, Jeremiah 10:13, Jeremiah 51:16, Amos 4:13,

    Interestingly in Michigan the Northern winds blow, it feels like bitter coldness inside, freezing your nose inside like icicles, even through your clothing layers. In Southern California when the " Santa Ana winds" dry & hot, dusty, both very district & unpleasant. The winds that blow East from the Pacific Ocean even summertime bring cool, unpleasant chills as early evening approaches. Etc. (In some personal observation of distinct winds.)

    Hopefully these are helpful

    Afterthought:

    Gen 19:5 - men wanted to have sex with the angels (doesn't mean it was possible, but noteworthy it was mentioned)

    Heb 13:2 - people have entertained angels without even knowing it. So, they may sometimes not look any different than other people. Other times I think people were afraid at what they saw, so they might have control over how they present themselves.

    Hi Adam,

    Actually Jesus isn't the Son of God. Christ is. Who is Christ except God's Son as He created Him. And what is Jesus except the Christ in Him. Jesus' appeared, took on the form, was in the likeness, being found in fashion of a body. Philippians 2:7,8. His reality is Spirit, since His Father is Spirit. John 4:24. We know what James 3:11,12 says. To paraphrase, woolly mammoths don't produce rabbits, and neither do redwood trees produce poppies. We know also flesh can't produce spirit. It is highly illogical Spirit producing flesh. God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all 1 John 1:5. Light does not produce darkness, only Light. God is Love 1 John 4:8. Love creates Itself and nothing but Itself. The truth of Jesus is not a body, but Christ, Who like God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, wholly loving and wholly lovable. Jesus, who appeared as a body has the Mind (Spirit) of Christ. Jesus (his Mind) has nothing that does not come from God; the difference between both me and you now is that He has nothing else. So yes, Christ is God: 100%! The flesh profits nothing. John 6:63. Where in the Scriptures does it say God is a body; and they that worship Him must worship Him in body and in truth?

    And yes, Christ is God's Son, an extension and complete sharing of God's Self (Mind). The Trinity in It's Oneness transcends the sum of It's parts. They are One.

    Peace be with you

    God Is
  • Adam - In Reply on Jeremiah 36 - 1 year ago
    Hello, some believe that the giants (nephilim) in Gen 6:4 are angels. If so, this verse says they did procreate.
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Jeremiah 36 - 1 year ago
    Hi Dwayne.

    I would be leery of that vision.

    Angels are not organic or natural beings. They cannot procreate! If they could, God would have allowed them to reproduce with each other instead of creating untold numbers of them.

    I'm not sure God created them as babies, They didn't have to grow up.

    I believe they had everything they needed the day God created them.

    God bless.
  • Who Do Men Say I AM? - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Interesting that the original question posted by Adam was directed to "anyone who believes Jesus isn't God the Son or a part of any Godhead," and Grae responds because Grae fits the category of people Adam was looking for to respond. What's ironic is that both the person asking the question and directing it to only those with a different view than his, and the person that has the different view (Grae) responds because Grae fits the category of people Adam was looking for, but neither of them wish to discuss any further their belief if what they believe is in opposition to the other person or people. This conversation could have ended right from the beginning with Grae's response because Grae does not want to discuss it, and neither does the person asking the question wish to discuss it. But Grae fits the category Adam was looking for. Neither side (Grae nor Adam) wishes to discuss any further their opposing views with each other. Right away, the question being asked is looking for people with a different view than the person asking the question, and the person asking the question chooses not to get involved with those who he's seeking out because he knows how "passionate" this discussion can be, and the one person who rightfully responds does not want to get involved with any opposing views because they are passionate about what they believe and don't want to discuss it with anyone who believes differently, and both sides are fixed on their belief. Go figure! We may never know the true motive behind the question, but one thing is for certain, it did become very passionate, as the person posting the question knew it would, and one might even dare to say that this question has caused some division and strife. I guess you can't blame the person for not wanting to get involved in the question he asked, knowing what it would cause. This is just an observation on my part.
