SOME BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS GOD???????????
WHO BELIEVES THIS??????????????
Those Who Worship In The Flesh
In Ro 9-1,8 it explains that those who believe that Jesus is God are those who worship in the flesh not in the Spirit.
Paul explained it like this. He said he had great sorrow and continual grief in his heart over these people. He said it bothered him so much that according to his flesh and the way he felt, he could almost wish he were accursed from Christ for his brethren.
These are the Israelites, that should be receiving the promised massiah, but they believe that Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. But its not that the Word of God has taken no affect. For they are not all going to believe this. But these that believe it are not the children of God.

Rom 9:1-8
1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh,
4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;
5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,
7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."
8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.


Those who believe that Jesus is God use verse 58 as evidence in the "I Am" delusion. They dont look at the context of the I am statement. The conversation was over a two day period. And it started in John 7-39 these people didnt have the Holy Spirit they were worshiping in the flesh not in the Spirit. And the question was is this man the Christ. And Jesus answered them a number of times. Jesus said "I Am He" and when they got to the point of stoneing Jesus to death Jesus was in the middle of " I Am" and they picked up the stones and you can see in verse 59 Jesus got out of there.
John 7:39-41
39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."
41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee?
John 8:24
24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
John 8:28
28 Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
John 8:58-59
58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

Those that believe Jesus is God also try to make a defense out of the "are one" delusion.
Just because the statement "are one" is in there doesnt mean Jesus is God. If that statement makes Jesus God then the next statement makes us God also. Which we know this is not true.
The "are one" statement has to do with being one in agreement.

John 10:30
30 "I and My Father are one."

John 17:21-22
21 "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
22 "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:

I Jn 5:7-8
7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

The whole Godhead. Are those who are in total agreement with God. The Godhead consists of God the Father, Jesus the Son who is in total agreement with the Father, and the Holy Spirit who is in total agreement with the Father. And that agreement is evident in the Word.

Col 2:9-10
9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Rom 1:20
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
(NKJ)

God came up with the Word, Jesus only spoke the Word, and the Holy Spirit only quotes the Word. That is the Godhead.

John 12:49-50
49 "For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
50 "And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."
John 14:26
26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
John 16:13-14
13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
14 "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

The Word is written in two covenants.The old covenant(testament) and the new covenant(testament). Satans throne was and is in the old testament. Jesus laid it down in many different ways. Dont go by the old testament, stay away from the old testament. If you accidentally or on purpose keep any part of the old testament you are subject to the whole entire thing. Jesus was point blank in John 10 when He said "All who ever came before Me" but if that isnt good enough look in Gal 4and 5. Abraham had two sons, verse 24 this is symbolic of the two testaments. Now look in verse 30 "cast out the old testament". And if that isnt good enough what about 2John. If you dont abide in the doctrine of Christ, you won't find the word Christ in the old testament. If you dont abide in the doctrine of Christ you dont have the right God.

John 10:8-9
8 "All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Gal 4:22-5:4
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,
24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar--
25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children--
26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband."
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman."
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

CHAPTER 5

1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
II Jn 1:8-11
8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;
11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

The people that believe Jesus is God are those who worship in the flesh with their carnal reason and logic. These are not the children of God. These are not those who worship in the Spirit.
 
The squeaky wheel gets the grease

Like a clanging symbol, you go on and on.

Do you understand any Hebrew?

The Hebrew word translated "God" in the OT is Elohim. The translation into english is not correct. The word is masculine gender plural and would be more appropriately translated as "GODS". My Jewish friends don't know how to respond to this.

The Hebrew word in the Shema translated One (as in - God is one) is not the number one. The Jews add "and only one", which is not in the scripture. It is one as in a unified one. You cannot have unity unless there is more than one to unify. In marrage, the two shall become one; the meaning is that the couple become one family, not one individual.

It seems like you have been taken in by the anti-missionaries. You need to study your scriptures a little more my friend.

It seems you believe everything that man tells you and nothing that the Word of God tells you. You need to find the Holy Spirit and put your faith in the Word of God instead of mans wisdom.

1 Cor 2:4-7
4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,
(NKJ)
 
You didn't even consider my response. The information is directly from God's word. In its original language.
 
And you didnt even consider the authority of the Word of God. That is a revelation from the Holy Spirit quoted straight out of the Word of God.
And you dismissed it because of what some man told you them words mean. Dont you know that nothing has authority over the Word of God?

Rev 22:18-19
18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

You are obvously on a rant. You are not here to discuss anything; you simply are here to promote whatever it is you have been sold. You have acknowledged that you did not even consider my response and then FALSELY accuse me of not accepting the authority of God's Word. God's Word is Jesus (or Yeshua if you want to refer to him by his given Hebrew name) Jesus is God's Word. There is no other authority.
 
I seen no discussion in your accusations against the revelation I posted.
And Jesus is not the Word. And Jesus is not God. The Word is the Word and Jesus is Jesus and God is God.
What would you like to discuss about that. I have posted revelations on everyone of the subjects. Showing they are not the same and I used the very Word of God. So you not disputing me your disputing the Word of God.

I addressed OT proof of the plurality of God and you have ignored it. There is mountains of evidence in the OT on God's plurality. I cannot share it with you because you have ignored my first response to your heresy.

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


John 14 8-10

8Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."

9Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, "Show us the Father'? 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
 
Dad
God is neither male nor female and we call Him a "He" the Holy Spirit is neither male nor female and we call Him a "He". The Word of God carries that same spiritual title of authority "He".

John 1:1-4

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 1:14
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:17-18
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

The individual to whom you addressed your comments (dcookcan)was not "trying to be justified by the Old Covenant, but was, rather, demonstrating that the prophetic Hebrew scriptures identified God as Triune.

It is one thing to say that the Old covenant has been overtaken by a New covenant; it is quite another to suggest that the words of the Hebrew scriptures are obsolete.

By "quite another" I mean heresy- as in Marcionism.

As you put it
Dont go by the old testament, stay away from the old testament.
According to Jesus Christ, salvation is from the Jews. According to Jesus the Son of God, what we find in the "old testament" is the very truth of God. If He quoted Old Testament scripture, that's sufficient eveidence to its validity.

BTW: your take on Romans 9 could not be further off the mark if you tried. The Jews, who rejected Christ, did so because He made claims to be God.

Jesus, upon Peter's revelation that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God," told Peter "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but the Holy Spirit."

You plan on rebutting my proof from the other thread that Revelation 1 specifically identifies Christ as saying that He is God? Or are you going to just start some more new threads?

I believe Squeaky feels one should stay only in the NT to find truth.

It would appear then as if Squeaky believes that the tree is sustained without the roots.

I thought I was clear on- allow me again to attempt to clear up your misconception:
The covenant, which was if you follow this Law with faith, I will cover your sins was replaced by I have covered your sin- if you walk with me, I will make you a son.
That is the covenant change.

The scripture which i called "Old Testament" was NOT done away with: Understanding Christ as Redeemer is only possible when one understands why there is need for a Redeemer. One can only understand the New Creation spoken of in Revelation when one understands the Old:

The New Testament scriptures constantly reference back to the Hebrew scriptures.

Further, Paul's letter to Timothy tells us "all scripture is God-breathed." When he said that, he was referring to the scriptures that were in existence at that time- ie, the Hebrew scriptures.

So, in short, what I am saying is NOT that the scripture you cited is in error- rather, that you are in error in the manner in which you are interpreting it. It is a simple, categorical error, easily corrected by considering the whole counsel of scripture. (which, parenthetically, there can be none of if one discards the Old Testament).

The covenant has changed- but the words of God will never pass away.

If you do a little word study (use a concordance) on "A new covenant" in Hebrews 8, you will find NIG, which means not in Greek. It is not in the original language. It was added by the translators based on their "biases". If you back up to the beginning of Paul's thought process, you will find he was referring to the Priesthood.

You are the one who has blasphemed the scriptures (by scriptures - I am referring to ALL scriptures - Genesis to Revelation). Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness...

You want to believe that Paul was refering to his own words as he was writing them. NOT. He was refering to the Law and the Prophets. If you back up one verse, Paul states that you have known these from childhood. His words did not exist when his audience were children.
 
Squeaky has been to a lot of christian forums in the past 5 years, same posts, same method of spamming a forum. He's made quite the name for himself.
