titusmichael27:Why tell him such a lie? 38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law answered Jesus. They said, “Teacher, we want to see you do a miracle as a sign from God.”... 3 And in the morning, if the sky is dark and red, you say that it will be a rainy day. These are signs of the weather. You see these signs in the sky and know what they mean. In the same way, you see the things that are happening now. These are also signs, but you don’t know their meaning.... 11 The Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him questions. They wanted to test him. So they asked him to do a miracle as a sign from God.... 29 The crowd grew larger and larger. Jesus said, “The people who live today are evil. They ask for a miracle as a sign from God. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to Jonah. |

Venerable612:Good one. Man has a body soul and spirit and exists as a singular being since our soul and spirits are inside of us. Same is God but as a plural being (Elohim), The Holy spirit is the spirit ''of God'' existing outside of the father and Jesus is the body ''of the father and son of God. Note the preposition ''of'' which means they have their place in God. There's no confusion, GOD IS A PLURAL BEING. |

Truuth:Yes, Jesus Christ is God, and no, this is not some endorsement of the trinity doctrine which is of men, lies, and not of God, who instead warned His followers not to submit themselves to the doctrines and traditions of men(including their churches) using His name. As is written in Scripture, Jesus Christ is God, and God(the Father) is God, but God(the Father) is not Jesus Christ. This, a logical case of A is B but B is not A. And this is what is clearly explained in all of scripture to all those who will KNOW the Truth of God from the lies of men. In Scripture, beginning in the Old Testament, we learn the following of God : ▪︎ God is God of Wrath ▪︎ God is God of Laws ▪︎ God is Good/Righteous ▪︎ God is Faithful ▪︎ God is Love ▪︎ God is True (Word) ▪︎ God is Life ▪︎ All Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding are of God ..... And of Jesus Christ, we are informed by Him, particularly in John 14 vs 6, that He is ▪︎ God's Truth (Word) ▪︎ God's Life ▪︎ God's Law (one of many) aka The Way So as indicated, Jesus Christ is born from some of the very same essences that is God(Father) - they are both in synch as far as that which they share. And this explains much of what Jesus Christ said of His relationship to the Father ■ The Father is greater than He, Jesus Christ, ■ He, Jesus Christ, is in the Father, and the Father is in Him(Jesus Christ), ■ All that Jesus Christ gives to you, His follower, is that which the Father gives Him, ■ He, Jesus Christ does only that which His Father bids Him do, ■ He, Jesus Christ cannot do anything apart from the Father, ■ He, Jesus Christ said," “My Father never stops working, and so I work too.” ■ He, Jesus Christ also said, “I assure you that the Son can do nothing alone. He does only what he sees his Father doing. The Son does the same things that the Father does. The Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does." ....etc. So, Jesus Christ is God. However, since Jesus Christ doesn't possess all of the essences of God inside of Him, God, the Father, isn't Jesus Christ. |

Michael548:Lemme try and explain, Before christ came to this world, he is ''the word'' and not the ''son'' he became the son after Mary give birth to him, from there he took on two natures. Son of man(human nature) Son of God(divine nature) Because he humbled himself and became a man he had to pray to God in that state(human form) he was just like you when he was earth. - He felf hungry, tired, angry, sad, happy etc. He had to pray to God. After his resurrection he took on his dual-nature. He was fully God and fully man. He is equal to God in his divine form but lower than God in his human form.. Jesus is still a man till today. |

Janosky: Ecclesiastes 7:6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool lost fraud jw janosky just like mad max you don't have replies to the truth just more of your nonsense talk and lies, of course Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, that is his natural way of speaking, for he is a liar and the father of lies. |

Truuth:Your own Bible says No. Galatians 4:4. "God sent His son,born of a woman. Jesus Christ is the son of God in the same manner that Adam is a son of God. Truuth:According to your claim,Is Ezekiel the prophet Son of man(human nature) Son of God(divine nature)? Truuth:Do you agree & believe 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 conflicting with your claim? After the visit to Mary, did angel Gabriel return to heaven with dual nature? Truuth:Do you agree & believe 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 conflicting with your claim? Truuth:Do you agree with your Bible,1 Corinthians 15:45,50? |

Venerable612: Oga, do you worship 3 persons ? In other words, you worship 3 spirits? Oga, did Jesus Christ worship 3 persons? |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Truuth: 12:06pm On Mar 25, 2023 |
Janosky:I don't wanna debate this. Was Angel conceived in Mary's womb. An angel appeared in the physical world delivered a message and went back and you are saying dual nature. What happened to Ezekiel and how did he enter this ? Christ Is both God and Man, he became man after Mary gave birth to him. Before then he was purely divine. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 12:27pm On Mar 25, 2023 |
Truuth:Christ was born a man. Angel Gabriel is a spirit being. But,Angel Gabriel appear to Mary as a man, do you agree that angel Gabriel had dual nature of man/spirit? Truuth:Is Ezekiel son of man? Is Ezekiel son of God? Your claim: Son of man=divine nature, in which Bible verses? Truuth: Galatians 4:4, your Bible or your personal opinion. In the same manner,1 Corinthians 15:27-28,45,50 is holy scriptures conflicting with your claim. Oga, decide what you believe. |

To clear doubt of many ignorant believer the doctorine of trinity has been explained in 1 john 5 vs 1 to 6,that three bears witness in one body in heaven and here one earth.when God is in heaven that is in the spiritual realm he is the father,the word and the holyspirit which is one spirit being and he manifest here on earth in flesh these three component must be present in one body which is blood,water and spirit the blood which is the father while the water in the body is the son and spirit is the holyspirit note the spirit lives in the blood this is the trinity that eludes mankind today so God is man and man is God and everythings created by God is God. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 8:51am On Jun 13, 2023 |
Haines: I can take u on each of your point and defeat it easily. If u ready, reply me. The bible only makes sense when Jesus is God. Bible without Jesus is just a history book. To your point 1. When was the first time in the bible God became man. Definitely not Jesus. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 10:29pm On Jun 13, 2023 |
SIRTee15: John 20:17,Oga delete Jesus Christ statement from your Bible. John 20:17 doesn't make sense to you. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 10:52pm On Jun 13, 2023 |
Janosky: Verse 28 of same chapter answers your query. Explain John 20.28. Let's go to point 1 of your questions. When was the first time God became man in the bible? The bible only becomes the true word of God when Jesus is God. Without Jesus being God, the bible is just an historical text. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 12:14am On Jun 14, 2023 |
SIRTee15:No,Sir. 1st point: Is Jesus authority superior over Thomas? Yes. Therefore, John 20:17,the Master's voice supercedes his disciples exclamation @ John 20:28. 2nd point.. Is exclamation "oh my God!" A reference to God Almighty? Never. John 20:28 does NOT reference God Almighty. Oga, did you see the John 20:28 exclamation in the screenshot? Yes , indeed.

Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 12:32am On Jun 14, 2023 |
SIRTee15: John 5:37, 43 & John 4:24 Did Jesus Christ agree with you that the God became man? Not at all. SIRTee15: Oga,Your personal claim is not holy scriptures. 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Hebrews 4:12 & John 17:17 & Jeremiah 23:29 the word of God is the holy writ from Genesis to Revelation. When John calls Jesus "the Word", John is not saying that Jesus is the holy writ. Rather, John is teaching us that Jesus is the Spokesman representing God,his Father- Hebrews 1:1-2 & John 5:43 & John 15:15 & John 7:16. Please Sir, get this point understood with clarity. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 10:00am On Jun 14, 2023 |
Janosky: I agree with u the authority of JESUS supercede Thomas. Jesus is the TRUTH. That's why Jesus would have stopped Thomas from calling him God if he wasn't God. But he accepted the Title because he's truly Lord and God. When Cornelius worshiped Peter, He stopped Cornelius, making it clear only God should be worshipped, and that he Peter is just a mere man. Act 10: 25-26. Jesus received worship all through his life right from birth to his resurrection. Mat 2.11, Mat14.33, Mat 28.9 He never stopped anyone from doing so because he knows only God should be worshipped (Exodus 20.1-4, Deut 6.13) and he's God. On the contrary John worshipped an angel and the angel told him its wrong to worship him. Rev 19.9-10 Your 2nd point doesnt make sense. Is 'oh my God' an exclamation mark in ancient hebrew language, is it an acceptable norm in ancient Jewish culture to say 'Oh my God' when they are surprised. Did anyone in the bible ever used such phrase as a surprise or amazement. Jewish religion strongly prohibits people calling the name of God in vain or carelessly, for u to do so is breaking the 3rd commandment, Ex 20.7. Even Jesus condemned such practice. Mat 5.34. What u doing is simply reverse interpolation of language etymology from modern usage to ancient ones. Besides your so called exclamation mark ! in John 20.28 isnt present in ancient manuscripts, the koine greek or Latin texts. Its not even in original KJV. Its a modern usage in recent translations. check your own picture`of verses u pasted as evidence. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 10:01am On Jun 14, 2023 |
Janosky: U need to do some reading on bible exegesis if u want to be sound in christian doctrine and effectively defend your argument. what is Logos, what is rhema. What do u know about the living Logos, spoken logos, eternal Logos and written Logos. I dont know if u are a atheist, Muslim, agnostic or Jew. But if u are a Christian, u need to attend more bible study classes. u really need it. Even the verses u quoted supports my assertion, the word of God is an active force, its alive. And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe[/i] Thel 2.13 [i]For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. heb 4.12 Jesus is not just the spokesman of God, do u actually read the verses u quoted. This is from Hebrew 1 u quoted. In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word What does the highlighted mean to u? Finally tell me the name of that man John wrote about in Rev 19. 11-16 and who is he? |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 10:19am On Jun 14, 2023 |
@Janosky. I can see u are Jehovah witness. Well I don't really argue with fellow Christians with different doctrines. So long as u are a Christian and u follow the core doctrinal evidence of Jesus, I won't begrudge u all other heretical beliefs. So long as u accept Jesus as the Son of God as clearly stated in the bible. Luke 1.35 and he's the saviour of the world thru repentance via his innocent blood; then that's fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid u have left the faith or not in it at all. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 12:41pm On Jun 14, 2023 |
SIRTee15: The prophets were God's Spokesman,now God speaks through his Son says Hebrews 1:1-2. Oga , Stop adding your own thoughts to the holy scriptures. According to Hebrews 1:1-2,In the past, the prophets were the Word of God, do you understand that? 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Jeremiah 23:29 & Hebrews 4:12, the entire instructions and injunctions in the holy writ (from Genesis to Revelation) is NOT Jesus Christ the word (a title). Revelation 19:9 "These are true words that come from God.” (from Genesis to Revelation) . 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. Oga, understand the difference between the statement of Revelation 19:9 & Revelation 19:13. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 2:25pm On Jun 14, 2023 |
Janosky: It's obvious where your problem is coming from. So I can't blame u. It's even a waste of time telling u to attend bible classes because same church will only confuse u the more. On Hebrew 1, u stopped at verse 2, what happened to verse 3. U staring the truth at the face and u shouting someone else is adding to the scripture. They really did u strong thing in that Jehovah witness. On the word of God. Show me someone else among the prophet who was called word of God in the bible. I won't reply to your response because I don't normally debate other Christian heretic faith except if they abandon the core doctrine of Christ. Tell me Jesus is not the son of God, and we will have a debate. Otherwise, u not the reason I came to this thread. Let those I challenged come forward. |

SIRTee15: This one nah RANTS. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 1:46pm On Jun 15, 2023 |
SIRTee15: Hebrews 1:3 says what? "The son (Jesus) is exact representation of his Father's being, sustaining all things by Father's powerful word" Representation (Dictionary definition) noun the action of speaking or acting on behalf of someone or the state of being so represented" Because the Professor was sent to represent Bubu, some people DECEIVING THEMSELVES that the Professor is Bubu himself. Clowns |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 2:29pm On Jun 15, 2023 |
Janosky: I won't allow u distort a bible verse and get away with it. Heb 1.3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Why did u omit the highlighted, because u uncomfortable with the truth. That's forgery and coming from a Christian says a lot about your belief and your person. God bless u and I pray he opens your eyes to the truth because u far from it. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by MaxInDHouse(m): 2:43pm On Jun 15, 2023 |
SIRTee15: As a perfect human like Adam {1Corinthians 15:45} Jesus is the radiance of God's glory {John 14:9} had it been that Adam didn't fail in his own test against Satan we won't need Jesus at all on this planet because Adam was made in the likeness of God {Genesis 1:26} that's why God's word said all humans who are supposed to be radiance of God's glory have fallen short of God's glory due to sin inherited from Adam {Romans 3:23} so don't let anyone deceive you with letters Jesus is God's son just as Adam is God's son! Luke 3:38 |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by SIRTee15: 3:15pm On Jun 15, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse: Adam that fell is a perfect human being. Do u know what perfect mean. As I said, I refuse to debate u because I know u also JW. I only corrected the guy because he forged a bible verse. God bless u MaxinDhouse. |
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Steep(m): 3:25pm On Jun 15, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse:This is not true max, Jesus is the "Express image of God" Adam was made in God's image but he was never the Express image of God. The word express means exactly replica, not just a copy but the exact word for word, texture for texture in everything. Why is Jesus the image of God? Image means what can be seen, Adam was the closest resemblance of what God is like on earth but however not the exact same thing. Jesus is the original image of God, meaning if God would be seen then it is Jesus, he is the exact reflection of the invisible God. Because Jesus is God made flesh that is why he is called the image of God. |
