Forgot to mention one more thing. As I said, it's 666. The Number of the Beast is NOT a series of sixes nor a pattern of sixes. The UPC barcode has three sixes, but it does not contain the Number of the Beast, which is 666 (six hundred sixty-six).

My favorites include "The Great Escape" and "A Bridge Too Far". Some of my other favorites include: Back to Bataan (1945) - WWII Sergeant York (1941) - WWI The Gallant Hours (1960) - WWII Battle Hymn (1957) - Korean War

Most translations use the term "calculate", although I discovered the NLT says "understand". However, the Number of the Beast is always 666, often spelled out as six hundred sixty-six. Based on that alone I don't believe the framework with three 6s separated by spaces in the barcode has...

I don't believe Jesus ever taught that He alone created the universe, except in the context that "He" includes the rest of the Godhead. Again, not a major doctrine. If you want to believe that neither the Father nor the Son were involved in the creation, that's up to you. I believe all three...

Ephesians 3:9, 1 Timothy 4:4, Revelation 4:11. God's identity has never been at question. God has always existed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Why is it so important to you to convince me that Jesus alone created everything?

Other passages show God (the Father) as the One who created everything. This is not a question that affects one's salvation, and we are just going around in circles. I am tired of debating this topic with you. May God's Blessings be upon you and yours, Brother. Adios.

Where does the Scripture tell us that Jesus created the universe on behalf of the Father? Which Scripture says that Jesus alone created everything? "Without Him nothing was made" means that nothing exists that God did not create. We know that Jesus is God, just as the Holy Spirit is God. We...

Isaiah 44:24, which I referred to earlier. No true Christian can deny that Jesus is God, but you are stuck on trying to prove Jesus alone created everything. I disagree, and will leave you with your view.

"By Him" doesn't necessarily mean ONLY by Him, especially when so many Scriptures say God (the Father) created everything. This is hardly a major doctrine, and I am content to agree to disagree.

There is a distinction in the work done by each Member of the Trinity. There are differing activities assumed by each Person. The Father initiates creation and redemption; the Son redeems the creation; and the Holy Spirit sanctifies, applying redemption to believers. Genesis 1:26 shows that...

While the passages you point to show Christ was involved in Creation, they do not show He was the primary agent of Creation. Why is this such a big deal, though? That is, what difference does it really make whether we believe Creation was primarily done by the Father (my view) or by the Son...

Of course God is One in essence but three in Person. They were all present in the Creation.

Again, the fact that all things were created through Christ does not mean created solely through Christ. And again, Scripture records over and over that God created everything. Is this another disagreement over semantics, or are you having trouble with the roles of Father and the Son in the...

Both those passages show that Christ reveals the Father. What's your point?

That is not what I said at all. The Scriptures contain many passages that say God created everything. In particular, Isaiah 44:24, the Father says "I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself and spreading out the earth alone". Having said that, the Trinity...

Other than hovering over the waters, I don't know. All I know for sure is that He was present.

While all things came into being through Jesus, this does not teach He is the sole creator. That would contradict Genesis 1:1-2.

What do you mean by "sole Creator"? God consists of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, so how could Jesus be the sole Creator? John 1:1-2 does not say that Jesus was the sole Creator, but that "all things came into being through Him". OTOH, Genesis 1:1 tells us that "God created the Heaven and the...

Thank you very much. That is the most comprehensive explanation of Dispensationalism that I've ever read. Like the author stated, I was also a Dispensationalist without knowing it because I didn't know any better, and did not know there were any other views.

So our disagreement was just over the meaning of "begotten". No problem. We agree completely that Jesus has always been the Son of God. I had only brought up the early creeds because they were a good summary of essential doctrines.
