Hi Turgonian and Puritan Lad, & FCC, etc. RE: (Isaiah 43:11) First: Turgonian You correctly pointed out.. Don, you didn't quote I Cor. 8:6 completely. It says, 'Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, t...

Hi John, I have a question about "The Only Saviour" article you provided where it states... If the Lord Jesus Christ is not God, the eternal Son of God, fully man and fully divine...He is not able to save us." My question is, Why? Why would Jesus have to be God or "the eternal So...

Hi FFC, After quoting 1 Corinthians 8:5,6 where Paul said that God is just one single Person ("God the Father"), you said... "And what part of any of that negates the truth of the trinity clearly revealed in scripture?" All I can say is how what Paul said effects me. And that is....

Who Is The One God We Worship?

Hi again FFC, You pointed out... If we (Trinitarians) are wrong, the only thing we will be guilty of is attaching too much honor to The Son of God. You on the other hand strip Him of His Deity, His eternal status, the uniqueness of His sonship etc. This is dangerous territory because according to Pa...

Hello again Judah, You asked me... "Can you point out to me which aspect of the Athanasian Creed is not orthodox Christian belief?" It looks to me that all of what the Athanasian Creed states is considered "orthodox" or "right teaching" by most Christian religions. But ...

Hi John, You asked... What do you see the difference is between Adam and Jesus then? As I understood what you believe, they were both created (not eternal), and they were both created sinless. Despite that, one sinned and not the other. Why? Did either of their free will have anything to do with the...

Hi Judah, I read the very detailed, rather involved explanation of the Athanasian Creed and what it says is necessary to believe about God and Jesus Christ in order to be saved. But I could not help but notice that almost 99% of what it says is not stated in the Bible . I also noticed that there wer...

Hi FFC, I had listed all the possible ways I can think of that the term "God" can refer to according to the definition of the Trinity depending on the context... 1) Jehovah is the name of the Trinity (All 3 Persons - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. 2) Jehovah is God th...

FFC, A while back I had I had mentioned how I thought that the "Yehovah" ("LORD" or ",Jehovah") of the Old Testament was Father of Jesus. My reasoning was based on the fact that Jeremiah said that "Jehovah is the living God" and then later Peter said that Jesu...

Bart, You said... A great deal of the JW doctrine, focused around the prediction by Russell of Christ's return in 1914. Note: Russell believed that Jesus' return ("Second Coming" or "invisible presence" as they prefer to call it) had occurred in 1874 . It wasn't until 27 years af...

Hi Bart, I wanted to thank you for your gentle way of expressing your concern for why I seem to be hanging on to the teachings of a religion that I came to realize that God and Christ have never had anything to do with. You said... If I understand correctly, you used to be a part of the Jehovah's Wi...

John, You asked... Why do you think God would create an ordinary being (albeit free of original sin) and give him redemptive power over all of humanity? First of all I don't think of Jesus as ever having been "an ordinary being." As to why I think God would provide a perfect, sinless human...

John,

You asked...

What sets Jesus apart from any other ordinary human being (other than the fact that he was chosen by God to be his 'representative' on earth)?

As you know, Jesus was born without inheriting the sin that the rest of picked up from Adam.

Hi John, You have worded things in a way that I have not thought of, but here is how I will try to answer... God is a self-sustaining spirit Angels are dependent spirits God does not depend on any outside source for his life. He has self-contained or sustained immortal life. That's what I think immo...

Hello PL, You and I were commenting on Psalm 110:1 and what Jesus said about it in Matthew 22:41-46. I had mentioned that what Jesus said gets a bit complicated but that I think I understand what he was saying. But I'm not so sure the Pharisees understood what Jesus said. You then then said to me......
