Jesus is a man. That's what the Bible says.

Yes, He never sinned but that doesn't make Him God Himself.

He never sinned, but He prayed to God.

He never sinned, but tempted by devil.

He never sinned, but He died.

He never sinned, but He is still a man.

For me, and for Jesus, there is ONLY one true God - the Father.

:wub: Peace.

Equating Jesus with the Father is not biblically accurate. Jesus and the Father were both God (as was the Holy Spirit). But, they were distinct in personhood. Jesus claimed to be God on several occassions and was worshipped as God by individuals. He exercised perogatives of deity and was affirmed as God by the NT writers.

So, you do believe that the Father is the ONLY true God?

Jesus and the Father are both God, just with seperate roles within the Trinity.

Do you believe that the Father is the ONLY true God?

Hello Bro heres the problem with your interpetation you say Jesus is 100 % God well Jesus says at John 20. 17 that the Father is God even to himself, so How is it possiable that you have Jesus as being 100% God having a God. and this is why Jesus at John 17. 3 says that the Father is the only true God and also how it is that Jesus says that the Father is Greater than he is. No Trinity here, the Father is the Most High and Jesus is the Son of the Most High the one that sits at the right hand of God.

I hope this helps you :thumbsup:

I'm just curious about where you learned to interpret scripture. Do you read Hebrew? Do you read/speak koine Greek? Studied hermeneutics? Whenever someone claims to have the proper interpretation (and is correcting others), I am always curious about how they arrived at that conclusion. I think it's a fair question.

I responded to the scriptures in another thread. It's dishonest to use them in the way you are since you ignore the Greek and even the English context.

Jesus is the Son of God, which really only reinforces his Deity as God:

Wow, am I the only one here who doesn't believe that Jesus isn't God? Anyone else out there? I'll try to respond to some more as soon as I can, but I have a busy weekend and might not post again until Monday or Tuesday.

Talk to you soon!

No buddy, you're not. I haven't been around here for quite a while. But I saw this thread and was feeling for ya. I believe as you do.

Blessings!!

Jen

When His disciples asked Jesus to " show us the Father" Jesus said, "If you have seen Me you have seen the Father. Yes He's God.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
