    Did the Son have a beginning?

    Those who belong to God hear what God says. (accept and believe in the truth) Peter stated Jesus was the Christ the Son of the living God. Jesus stated He didn't learn that from man but from His Father. He called Peter blessed. Now it seems what the Father revealed is not good enough you have to...

    Did the Son have a beginning?

    Jesus was the first to rise from the dead in the resurrection He spoke about. He is the beginning of that resurrection. Has the preeminence in the resurrection as first. Lazarus died again. Acts 26:23 No they don't actually. And Hebrews 1 is about the Son not about God. They do show a Son who...

    Did the Son have a beginning?

    No God was before me vs No God was formed before me Yes I agree Its stated He's the First and Last through out scripture. Do I? He's a Son who has a God and Father. He's begotten. Yes the only Begotten.

    Did the Son have a beginning?

    In regard to God it is written No God was formed before me. -His words not mine. Why would He state "was formed" in regard to a God such as Himself if He always was rather then there was no god before me? There is no scripture to state He has a beginning. So does the bible explicitly state God...

    Did the Son have a beginning?

    The Fristborn of all creation was before the world began. God brought the world into existence through His Son. "Let us"

    Did the Son have a beginning?

    In the very same passage of scripture "The Firstborn from the dead" (first to rise from the dead) Jesus is the beginning of the resurrection of the dead and the first to rise from the dead. Jesus is the beginning of the creation and the first to be created. He is a being hence "born" from the...

    Did the Son have a beginning?

    Ex 4:22 Gods Literal Firstborn would be a being not a people. He has one whether you believe that to be Jesus or not. The very first spirit God formed would be His firstborn if it's Jesus then He would also be the beginning of the creation of God as in the Firstborn of all creation not just the...

    Why Protestant churches dont keep the Sabbath.

    Thats not the complete law of the sabbath. The absence of work with even meals prepared in advance is the law. Which are you encouraging church service or a Sabbath day as is in the written law? Have you set yourself up as a judge? I'm neither Kosher nor do I keep the Sabbath as is in the...

    Is God’s grace available to all people?

    Grace to the poor - James 2:5 Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? We are instructed to cloth ourselves with humility as well as God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud.

    A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

    Paul wrote that love does no harm to one's neighbor and fulfills all the law. James was writing about showing favoritism to the rich. But did write if you love your neighbor as yourself, you're doing right. Other than James must have come across favoritism in the church I'm not sure why he...

    John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation

    It does teach grace. I knew with certainty Jesus Lives even before receiving the Spirit of Christ in me. No power can deceive me away from Him. He wouldn't allow it anyway as its His Fathers will to raise us up on the last day and no one can snatch us from His hands. Ok lets end here.

    John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation

    Those born again will not continue and cannot continue to sin. How is that disobedience? The fruit of obedience, love, should be seen in those born of God. They also know Christ as He knows the Father and can never be deceived away from the truth as God keeps them safe and the evil one cannot...

    John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation

    It directly written Jesus keeps those born again safe. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. That God is able to keep us from falling. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to...

    John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation

    What Jesus stated is true. In regard to those born again they will abide in Him. AGAIN how can they be unborn apart from sin? We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. The verses I have given to...

    John 15:1-6 and loss of slvation

    The Spirit was not poured out yet when He stated that. Did it not apply to His current audience? I have answered your question several times. Your assumption He's speaking of those sealed in Him by the Spirit is mistaken. So, if you continue in His teachings or hold to His teachings would be...
