Yahweh is salvation

So you think a mere man can be sinless? Being sinless does not simply mean that Jesus did not commit sin, it means that Jesus was born without a sin nature. Jesus unlike the rest of humanity was not only conceived in Miriam by the Holy Spirit, but did not possess the sin that infects the rest of humanity at birth. Sinlessness is not a characteristic of a mere man. Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. (Isaiah 44:6) Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. (Isaiah 48:12) Now, according to God, He is the first and the last and there is NO OTHER God beside Him. Now, look at what Jesus says about Himself: Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. (Revelation 1:11) And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Revelation 1:17-18) And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; (Revelation 2:8) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelation 22:13) Jesus is saying about Himself what God said could not be said about anyone other than Him. Therefore, Jesus is God. So if you say that Jesus is not God, you are calling Jesus a liar. If He is a liar, He cannot be a savior. So the choice before you, is either accept Jesus' testimony that He is God, or you must reject Him as your savior. For one thing, you confusing issues. What is it that you think Jesus is talking about? It would appear that you are assuming that Jesus was asking for God to resurrect Lazurus, which is not indicated in the text, in fact your translation is rather loose and also assumes that Jesus was referring to prayer. The orgininal text does not say that Jesus was referring to any prayer, but simply that He was heard. He was simply referring to the things He said earlier, especially about being the resurrection and the life. As for being sent, that does not bear on the Deity issue, but only on issue of role within the Godhead. The Bible calls Him God over and over. I already stand on the authority of Scripture. I also find that Jesus refers to Himself as God, so I am standing on His own testimony. I am not waiting to find out. I already know. You simply need to believe the Bible. No, you have to beleive and understand it. God bless you my brother.

JESUS CHIRST was a man who was 100% perrfect ANd the Son of GOD..He died upon a cross for our sins.Jesus Christ is a spirt within all of us!Jesus is kind Jesus is loving JEsus is Forgiving..Nothing else really needs to be said..was he human like we are?I think not ,How many men today would die upon a Cross for you and your sins.Or be so forgiving and Loving.To simply call Jesus Christ a man i don't think he was just any man..I see Jesus Christ as so much more.It's not as simple as to ask if Jesus was a MAn..he walked this earth in human flesh, but was anything like man is today or any other man that has walked this earth?NO he is loving kind and forgiving he died for our sins..Nothing else to say..Jesus CHrist is my Lord and Savoir,Jesus is the only one that will get me to Heaven and he is Son of GOD! Praise The Lord! I like your answer.

It has everything to do with the Gospel. A mere man could not die for the sins of the world. If Jesus is not God, then he is no different than Mohammud or Buddha. He is nothing more than a good teacher. You still have not dealt with Jesus' own admission that He is God. I agree, a mere man could not atone for the sin of the world. But he was not a mere man. So, incase you are wondering what I DO believe of Jesus I will say this. I believe and proclaim that Jesus is the one and only true son of God, conceived of God's spirit, born of a virgin, inheriting the righteousness of God with all the attributes of perfection attributed to the Father, and without sin or blemish. I have no hesitation in saying He is my Lord & Saviour. You have just defined Him as God, but reject Him as God. That is a strange way your mind works. Jesus could not have the perfect attributes attributed to the Father and not be God, because God says, there is no one like Him. So for Jesus to have God the Father's attributes would make him like God. Furthermore, because you obvious don't know Hebrew, you don't understand what "Son of God" means. It does not mean that Jesus is the offspring of God. It is a title that denotes equality, in Hebrew. One has to some mighty fancy theological gymnastics to get around the Bible. If Jesus is your Lord and Savior, howcome you don't believe Him when He says He is God? Jesus caled him self "Son of man" , that kind of means is equal to us then, doesn't it? Yes he was again 100% man and 100% GOD. Son of Man and Son of GOD, he was GOD incarnate, and a man (John 1:1; 1 Timothy 2:5) also called the hypostatic union for you theologians . This is what God showed to Jesus Christ, so that he could tell his servants what must happen soon. (Revelation 1.1) Even when Jesus is up in heaven he still does what GOD wants him to do. If that makes him God or not it's up to us individualy to figure out. Please my brother don't listen to the church and the priests . Listen to your Bible. God bless you.

Shalom, The Scriptures say that if we ask according to His will, He hears us. Faith in faith is nothing. Faith in healing will not get us healed. According to G-d's will is the caveat to whether we get healed or not. Shalom, Yes , if we beleive in him and if it's his will. God bless you.

You're right my sister. Something like that is realy shamefull, not only in church but outside it to. God bless you. It does go both ways and I have seen many woman flocking around elligible bachelors as well. One thing too which may be a bit different is Some people are attracted to the Holy Spirit within you and not understand the attraction. A Good friend of mine got married , Rabbi Jonathan but prior to that although living in a different state I heard about all the woman who were hoping for him...I would just chuckle and keep Him in prayer.... It is also not good for a woman to have a revealing or short dress sitting in the front. Although My pastor was not a lustful type but one never knows what may go through his mind when the Holy Spirit stops preaching. It does go both ways, but I think our sister was saying that she was no wearing revealing clothes. God bless you.

yes, faith was a problem. how many times did Jesus heal someone and NOT talk about their faith? see matt 9:22, mark 5:34, 10:52, Luke 8:48 etc. how can you possibly look at these verses and say faith has nothing to do with healing? "be it according unto you as your faith..." Jesus healed those without faith, no doubt. but how can we deny the verses where Jesus said FAITH has healed someone. do we put them on the shelf b/c they don't coincide with our beliefs?? if you believe faith has nothing to do with healing, what DO you do with the verses where Jesus said a person's faith made them well? i'd really like to know. and does not faith in God coinside with keeping His commandments? if i truly believed that God had my best intrests in mind when He gave the commandments he did, i would follow them. the reason i don't obey them is because i don't truly believe they are in my best interest. i don't believe, or trust, God. when i break His commandment, i TELL Him i don't believe. it's as simple as the chair illustration: if i have faith that it will hold me, i'll sit; if i don't, i won't. one's actions tell of one's beliefs. every time you sin, christian, you're telling God you don't believe in Him and His Words. I was just trying to say that people say that they beleive in God but they realy don't. So we are realy saying the same thing. If you realy beleive you will be healed. God bless you.

Hardly. John also records, "Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name

You're right my sister. Something like that is realy shamefull, not only in church but outside it to. God bless you.

I agree with Suzanne.

Now, that sounds like a real Christian answer rtwo.

Good answer.

Jesus does not deny being God, and does not deny that the epithet of "good" does not apply to him. The problem is that the man apporoached Jesus as if He was just approaching a man and Jesus was responding to the empty flattery the man no doubt intended. Jesus confronts the man on the grounds that if He only regards Jesus as a human teacher, why use terms that rightfully only apply to God? If Jesus is not God, then He could not have died for our sins. Jesus' Deity is what sets Him apart from the rest of the "religious teachers" in this world. Jesus' Deity is also what makes Him fit to be a sacfrifice for sin. If God only needed a good person, Abraham or Moses could have died for our sins. Jesus refers to Himself as the "first and last" just as God the Father did in the book of Isaiah. Jesus takes titles to Himself that only belong to God. Jesus proclaimed and excerized personal power over death. Jesus did not forgive sins in the Name of the Father, but forgave sins in His own Name. Furthermore, Jesus accepted worship. Jesus did things that only God can do. Jesus is referred to by Paul as the creator of the universe, but Genesis tells that God was the creator. Therefore, Jesus is God. Jesus is our Lord and son of God, son who he sacrificed for us . Abraham and Moses where good but Jesus was without sin, which again does not prove hi is God. So when Jesus referes to him self as the first and last, that makes you beleive hi is God? If he did exercize his personal power, why then did he say this:" Father , I thank you for answering my prayer. I know that you always answer my prayers. But I said this, so that the people here would beleive that you sent me." (John 11.41,42) If he is God, why would anyone have to send him, like he said many times (he who sent me). And just to close this topic, I'll say this , we may disagree and go through the bible all night . Whether Jesus is God or not we will find out soon enough. It was nice talkin to you and I hope we can do it again on some other topic and maybe agree on some things . God bless you.

Doesn't really answer the question: Is Jesus God? Do you believe that Jesus is 100% God? I beleive that if Jesus is son of God, son of man, lamb of God and anointed by God that in that sence he can't be God, but more like a heir to the throne. Actually the Bible presents Him not only as the Son of God but also as God. Furthermore, you need to understand that "son of.." in Hebrew is a term that denotes equality. Depending on its use it does not necessarily refer to "offspring." Jesus is not the "offspring" of God the Father. When used to apply to Jesus, "Son of God" denates equality with God. Jesus is God in every sense that a person can be God. Jesus, in book of Revelation makes the exlicit claim that He is God. Jesus operated as God while on earth. A man came to Jesus and asked, " Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?" Jesus said to him," Why do you ask ME about what is good? Only GOD is good. If you want to have eternal life, you must obey HIS commandments." (Matthew 19.16,17) What then does the Father, Son and the Holy spirit mean. Does it mean God, God and the Holy spirit. Jesus calls God his Father just like the rest of us do. If Jesus is also God, then to me that sounds like there isn't only one God. I PERSONALLY beleive that Jesus is the son of God, our saviour who died for our sins. Again this is just my personal opinion. God bless you.

Jesus said,I am the one who raises the dead to life! Everyone who has faith in me will live, even if they die. And everyone who lives because of faith in me will never really die. (John 11.25,26) I think that there is no reason to raise the people from the dead in this day of age. I beleive if some Christians are true beleivers and they could heal and raise people from dead, that they wouldn't have it televised. Why WOULDN'T they have it on TV? That would sure be a slap in the face to all the atheists in the world, and boost faith in God! Peoples faith in God was never the problem, I think that a lot of people beleive in God. The problem is that people are not willing to folow Gods commandments. They say that they beleive in God and then go and break Gods commandments on daily bases. God bless you.

Son of God, son of man, lamb of God, Messiah.... There is only one thing to know and remember. There is only one way to heaven and that is through our Lord Jesus. God bless you.

I can't realy explain why there is a lot of people who are sick and suffer today, but I know what Jesus said. God will bless you people who are crying. You will laugh! (Luke 6.21) God bless you.

Don't suppose that I came to do away with the Law and the propeths. I did not come to do away with them, but to give them their full meaning. Heaven and earth may disappear. But I promise you that not even a period or comma will ever disappear from the Law. Everything written in it must happen. If you reject even the least important command in the Law and teach others to do the same, you will be the least important person in the kingdom of heaven. But if you obey and teach others its commands, you will have an important place in the kingdom. You must obey God's commands better than the pharisees and the teachers of the Law obey them. If you don't, I promise you that you will never get into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5.17,18,19,20) So, when your God tells you to obey the 10 commandments, you don't question it, you just do it. Saturday or Sunday? I realy think that it doesn't matter which day it is. Unless you realy have to work all seven days, give one day to god. And if you do have to work all seven days, don't worry, God will understand. I hope this helps, God bless you.

God will bless you people who are poor. His kingdom belongs to you! God will bless you hungry people. You will have plenty to eat! God will bless you people who are crying. You will laugh! God will bless you when others hate you and won't have anything to do with you. God will bless you when people insult you and say cruel things about you, all because you are a follower of the Son of Man. So when this happens to you , be happy and jump for joy! You will have a great reward in heaven. (Luke 6.20-23) I hope this answers your question and gives you some comfort.
