    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    "I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am you will die in your sins" (John 8:24) "ἐγώ εἰμι", as in John 8:58, and Exodus 3:14. "I am Yahweh"

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    You are referring to the time of Jesus' Incarnation, during which time His made Himself subordinate to the Father, see Philippians 2:5-11, which is Jesus as the God-Man. But as Almighty God, the Three Persons in the Godhead a 100% coequal, coeternal and coessential.

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    Not really, as "subordination" within the Godhead is not anywhere in the Bible

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    But there is a big difference what they teach. "God from God", or "very God from very God", is found in the early "creeds" of the Church, like the Nicaea. However, the terms themselves come from the creed of Caesarea, and the work of Eusebius, an Arian supporting Church historian. Hence, when we...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    "Jesus is very God of very God", is nowhere taught in the Holy Bible.

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    Nothing ignorant about asking you a very simple question, which you cannot answer. It is clear from your responses that you deny the Bible's Teaching of the Holy Trinity. One Godhead with Three Person's, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each Person is equal to the other in every way, making them...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ, IS Almighty God, uncreated and eternal. Do you believe this? When Jesus Christ became a man at His Incarnation, He of His own became "subject" to God the Father, for the purpose of redemption of lost sinners. Do you believe this? Jesus Christ while on earth was fully God and...

    Hell is a real place

    Yes, but my point is, that before a sinner can be saved, they have to confess and repent of their sins to the Lord and seek His mercy and forgiveness. And not something that is done later, as some teach, like Greg Laurie.

    Hell is a real place

    Hi Judith, there is no Biblical warrant to take the "fire" as literal, but the same way Paul uses it for believers, "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire" (1 Corinthians 3:15), which is "metaphorical"

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    May I ask what "baptist" are you, or are you a Jehovah's Witness or the like?

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    MATTHEW 28:19 "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptise them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". Note, Jesus says, "to onoma", "The Name"...

    Hell is a real place

    Repentance is godly sorrow for one's sins before a Holy God, by heartfully admitting them to the Lord in contrition, and asking His mercy and forgiveness, which is required before a sinner can be saved.

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    Regardless of any definitions, the Bible's very clear teaching is that God is One, and at the same time Three distinct Person's within the Godhead. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And They are co-equal, co-eternal and co-essential. Neither Person is greater than the other in any way. Because...

    Hell is a real place

    And also for repentance of sin BEFORE conversion, and not the modern day heresy that says that to repent means only to change one's mind on Jesus Christ, and after you are saved you can say you are sorry for your sins! What utter rubbish!

    Hell is a real place

    sadly this man, and millions like him, have been deceived by the devil into believing his lies. Only the mercy of the Lord can reach such people.

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    Another passage that very clearly shows the "co-equality" of Jesus with the Father, is Philippians chapter 2: "Christ Jesus, Who, though He was in the nature of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, by taking the nature of a servant, being born in the...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    "But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God." (John 5:17-18) "ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ θεῷ", "making Himself equal...

    can you tell me Who you think Jesus is then?

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    You have failed to understand the use of the Greek here. The use and context a word is used in is very important. You are wrongly assuming that a word has the same meaning in every place. Take "κόσμος" as an example. In John 3:16-17, leaving theology aside, its meaning according to the basic...
