Not all the readers are from Christian backgrounds and not all may understand what is the meaning of divine. 

Can you elaborate on what is divine and when someone is divine? 

I am going to go here with “I am fairly certain we all have access to a few dictionaries and perhaps Google, but I will bite here... Jesus is divine or is God who came to earth /  us. 

Not just as a man, not just as God, but as a God / man. 

Ok, now I wait... Charlie

The dictionaries? 

I don't think so that it is suggested that God speaks to us through the dictionaries on our times,

And it is so and can be useful to learn a lot of things about Jesus Christ.

I would like to start with what you say that it is so, and it is so.

How can we point it out from the scriptures to someone else.

This is the most important part, to verified what we say from the s scriptures, what we find in the dictionary to check it out. 

So far you are doing a good job, let's go to the next task.

Please forgive me (in ALL sincerity), I am having a little difficulty understanding what you may be wanting to discuss.. 

Rather than take your original question about “what do I mean by “divine”, and steer this off by now questioning whether I accessed a dictionary or not, I would ask you to respond to whether my response to you about my statement that Jesus was divine (God on earth)!!!

Please address if you accept or not that response not spend time about “dictionaries”. 

Again, I apologize for not understanding your thoughts at times, Charlie

Thank you.... so I guess I will be awaiting your thoughts on the divinity of Jesus.... I believe He is God...... do you also believe this?

Thank you, Charlie

Brother Charlie you just asked me the same question in the previous post and I have answer it in the affirmative. 

Why repeat the same question, did you not see my answer? 

***We need to work together and with scriptures. 

***brother Charlie I hope you have understood that we are working together to point out the divinity of Jesus Christ, as John the disciple of Jesus Christ has done in the Gospel of John chapter one and verses 1- 18. 

I have invited you to work together to show with scriptures reference, and not just with an authoritative message the divinity of Jesus Christ as we are in a discussion group if that's ok with you. 

***John 1:1-18, ***

This is a lot to post it down. There is a way to do it with (red letters that when click takes the reader to the scriptures at hand).

**next scriptures **

KJV John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Mathew 3:17 KJV

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

John 1: 18

*King James Bible*
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

But that was Jesus answer to the question of what is the greatest commandment.  How could it be an important secondary message?

The words are to love neighbor "as self".  I take that to mean we should love neighbor the same as self.  We have equal importance.

You are totally right that we must love our neighbour as self.
But your good deeds will be seen by God as filthy rags, if you are still in your own sins.

Isaiah 64:6 We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.

I have heard someone summarize the bible in one word, "REDEMPTION".
By faith in Jesus Christ we are saved, not of any good works.
All good works without faith, without redemption are filthy rags in the eyes of God.

You can't use the bible as a restaurant menu and pick out what is according to your personal flavour. The bible is God inspired words and not a restaurant menu to pick out from. Don't create your own god to fit your own desires.

How do we know that we are hearing God's words? Because God is alive.

Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
