I'm, not, but together with my fellow brothers and sisters of like spiritual mind we can discern the real truth.Must be good to be infallible.
It is only confusing if you leave out the existence of the Word.
God and the Word were one, but when the Word took on flesh they were separated in that sense of "oneness".
Jesus prayed to God, as He couldn't pray to Himself.
Jesus credited God with the miracles He did, because He couldn't credit Himself.
Jesus thanked God the Father, because He couldn't thank Himself.
Jesus didn't know the day off the end, as only the Father had that knowledge.
Jesus couldn't grant the seats on either side of Him to James and John, as He didn't have that authority.
The Father and the Son are different than the Father and the Word.
If the Word, who "was God" still existed, there would be a quadrinity instead of a trinity.
Yes, just as written in John 1.
I'm, not, but together with my fellow brothers and sisters of like spiritual mind we can discern the real truth.
I don't see how our perusal of the manifestation of the Word on earth in the flesh as Jesus, can diminish the nature of Jesus Christ.You made a comment yourself.
Jethro Bodine said Jesus was in two forms.
This is a heresy known as Nostroeticm (?)
On phone, can't look it up.
We start rationalizing the nature of Jesus.
As if He wasn't really God.
See my post 267 also.
Respect is one thing. We are to consider every man greater than ourselves.So you have your own personal meaning of worship.
Bowing is not worship. Bowing is giving honour,
Abraham rose and bowed to the Hittites, the people of the land (Gen 23:7)
Was Abraham worship[ping the Hittites?
Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land. (Gen 23:12)
Was Abraham worshipping the people of the land?
And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, "Go and carry them to the city." And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself. (1Sam 20:40-41)
Was Jonathan worshipping David?
And they told the king, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed before the king, with his face to the ground. (1Kg 1:23)
Was Nathan worshipping the king?
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon, to speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose to meet her, and bowed down to her (1Kg 2:19)
Was King Solomon worshipping Bathsheba?
No, John says we have the capacity to discern the truth that I'm speaking about.You infallibly think so?
They didn't get it all wrong. What they did is slowly corrupt the truth over the centuries.We have 2,000 years of great theologians but they all got it all wrong.
Only you and a few mates have the truth!
in your personal and fallible opinion.Respect is one thing. We are to consider every man greater than ourselves.
But parading a statue of someone on a pedestal down the streets of the city and in the isles of the church is quite another.
Jesus was His own Father?Yes. I think it needs to be stated that Jesus is God.
Jesus was the Word.That's what Christianity is.
We don't, as she is in a grave awaiting the day of resurrection.And Mary is the mother on question.
So how do we address her?
No he doesn'tNo, John says we have the capacity to discern the truth that I'm speaking about.
In your personal opinionThey didn't get it all wrong. What they did is slowly corrupt the truth over the centuries.
If you can't see that making a statue of someone and lifting it up high and parading it through the streets is worship...well...what are we gonna do with you...?in your personal and fallible opinion.
Oh, sorry. I forgot that you and your mates are infallible.
If you can't see that making a statue of someone and lifting it up high and parading it through the streets is worship...well...what are we gonna do with you...?
Yes he does.No he doesn't
What is in the heart is revealed by what happens on the outside.Worship is something that happens in the heart.
Can you discern someone's heart?
An opinion that is being shown more and more to be an educated and accurate opinion. An opinion that comes from the God-given discernment that every true believer has, if they'll just rely on it instead of relying on what someone else tells them is the truth.In your personal opinion
Amen...but John didn't add "and so was Jesus".And the Word was God (John 1:1)
What makes you think He was born with a fallen nature?If he was born with a fallen nature how could he not sin?
His quote was from a time when it was true,Paul said "all men sinned" (Rom 5:12)
A good example of where you go wrong.Yes he does.
Here:
1 John 2:27
27And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.
Believers have the anointing to be able to discern the truth. You say we don't. I'm going with the scriptures on this one, thank you.
Nice try. I didn't create those definitions. Again: "Worship" is reverent honor and homage paid to God or a sacred personage, or to any object regarded as sacred. Clearly, Mary is worshiped. I don't care one whit what your personal definition is. It is reverent honor paid to a sacred personage, e.g., Mary! That is what Catholics do: they worship Mary as in "Hail Mary, mother of God, blessed art thou". "Bowing" is irrelevant.So you have your own personal meaning of worship.

You don't even get it!Yes, so what?
How does that demonstrate your claims?
