What does this have to do with Jesus being called the Everlasting Father?

What do you mean?

Oneness or unity in purpose, but 3 different persons with distinct roles and titles. To me, it is rather strange that Jesus is called the Everlasting Father only one time in scripture.

But nobody called Jesus the Father in the New Testament. Roles and titles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are kept quite distinct.

Jesus is the Word/Logos, the Son of God. He is not God the Father. So, even though Jesus said He was one with the Father, there can be no confusing Jesus with the Father. So what does “His name shall be called…The Everlasting Father” mean? Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a...

Calvinism is false. Total depravity is debunked by scripture. Unsaved Gentiles without the law, still responded to what was contained in the law. Romans 2 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto...

People repent when God brings a preacher to them, they hear the gospel, and decide to obey the scriptures. Otherwise, you have irresponsible robots that God controls, violating their free will, and forcing them to obey Him. Being forced like a puppet to serve God does not bring any glory to...

There is not a single verse in the Bible that says “Get born again, then repent and be saved”. This backwards gospel is the nonsensical doctrine of Calvinism.

Excellent essay. This conclusion sums up the essence of our duty. To believe man has no ability to choose or to respond to God is a very bleak and nonsensical attitude. Even Cain was told by God to exercise his free will to resist sin. Genesis 4:7 If you do well, will you not be accepted...

I do not have the time to teach you all the basics of maturing spiritually, abandoning worldly beliefs, and becoming more like Jesus every day, but your pastor might be able to help you. You have a great adventure to embark upon, bringing every thought into captivity to Christ, learning how to...

So people are robots that have no ability to choose? Scripture contradicts you. It is very clear. Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the...

You deny that man can choose. You contradict God’s Word. Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye...

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Yes, idolizing your own physique.

Most of the time? I don’t see a single person in this thread saying a pastor should not preach against fornication if he is obese due to gluttony. Gluttony is indulging fleshly lusts for food. It shows lack of self control and disregard for the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Since meals...

My prayers are also directed to God for you, David Lamb. May He comfort you and become more vividly real to you in the absence of your beloved wife.

That is a pretty rough way to lose a spouse. I had 6 years notice that my wife was ill. But she lived a normal life until the last two months, eventually unable to get out of bed. I remained positive that she would get a divine miracle healing, until I saw her take her last gasp. I now think...

My prayers are with you. I lost my wife 2 years ago in August. We had 21 years together. God rescued me from a horrible mess and my wife was the main rescue operation, I now fully realize. My life with her was bliss, a wonderful, satisfying taste of paradise. Now that she’s gone, my life is a...

This post makes no sense. The calvinism/arminianism debate has nothing to do with non-denominational, which has nothing to do with the Trinity.

You seem to use literal in a way that I do not. Jesus was not literally a lamb, He was human.
