God's Truth

That's called grasping at straws. :rotfl:
Jesus' teachings is not straws.

What you are saying sounds insane to me. I gave many scriptures where GOD is called 'Father'.
Jesus' teachings is not straws.
If anyone wants to talk about all the scriptures I have posted, I would love to talk about them. I have to go for now. Hopefully I can come back soon to discuss the scriptures and not what you all think of me.

You taking verses out of context and trying to apply them where they don't fit is not "Jesus' teachings".
Just like you are not "God's Truth".
If you would stay out of the conversation we might be able to do that. Even when you are right about something, you hammer and yammer in such a fashion that you won't ever persuade someone because you have them on the defensive and mentally objecting to your irrational tactics.
Would you like a good example? Bright Raven entered the thread again a day or so ago. Look at how he was speaking. Mimic that.
All I want is God's Truth. What do you think you teach, Satan's lies, or God's Truth?
Not so silly.Whatever version you are using, it is capitalizing "Father" with theological gloss. Look at the King James, it's in lowercase. The question wasn't whether God is pictured in the role of a father, the question was whether God was being addressed by the title of "The Father."
Isa 64:8 KJV
(8) But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
God is no more using the title of "The Father" in that passage than he is using a title of "The Potter."
I don't consider myself a teacher. I share what I know of the glory days of being a member of the body of Christ. Were I a foot, I'd kick you to the curb for a long vacation.
Not so silly.
Don't overlook such obvious things; "LORD" in all caps indeed refers to GOD almighty.
I must be the one missing something.
If so then disregard with correction please.

You make yourself out to be a teacher. Now do you think you are teaching God's Truth, or Satan's lies?
it's ok, I thought maybe it was that0. Ah, sorry about that. I had asked that of Jamie in a different forum.
1. I infer that you would also say that Han Solo is Harrison Ford.
2. I see your answer above, Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones
But Question 3 is where I was going with this.
3. Is Indiana Jones is Han Solo? Both of them are Harrison Ford, but is one the same as the other?
You could have one being, yet "we" or "our" might be dependent (or appropriate) depending on the frame of reference being used. I don't mean the "royal we" in this case, where one person speaks in the plural because they reign over others. I mean specifically because of the unique situation described in the gospel where Jesus (whom is called God in multiple places, and in Revelation identifies himself by the unique names of God) ...
It says that his own knew him not. We know that he had to go to the cross (and he rebuked Peter for offering to prevent it) and how would this have happened if Jesus had displayed the power that he had, or summoned even one of his legions of angels? Given that in the gospel context Jesus was willing to allow people to make their own conclusions and speak with indirection, the pronouns may be confusing.
There is a principal however, that one is always allowed to down-state their rank and position, but never to increase it beyond its actual level. Jesus does not deny being a prophet, because he is that and more. Jesus does not deny being the Messiah, because he is that and more. Jesus does not deny being the Son of God, because he is that and more. Jesus did not deny being God, he accepted worship and the confession of Thomas. and come the book of Revelation, the Revelation of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ reveals himself as God, using titles that would be blasphemy for any other to assume.
I was using the Harrison Ford example to illustrate a communication slip that I was sensing. Jesus is not the Father, the Father is not Jesus, in a matter of speaking. These distinctions don't appear until the New Testament because there was no reason for them yet in the Old. We didn't call the creator "The Father" but rather YHWH (Jehovah). The New Testament tells us that the name of the Creator is Jesus.
I don't make myself out to be a teacher.
I simply share what the Lord has shown me from the Scripture.
Like most people do here on this forum.
My advice to you would be to move to the back of the classroom, cause you, Gut, are no teacher....not even a substitute, not even a janitor, not even a cross walk guard.
marhig and Lazy Afternoon think Jesus calls himself the exact same names that God the Father calls himself, why?
Jesus was given the Name--
Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
I know, now tell us why.
Harrison Ford doesn't call himself "we" and" our" he'd be a schizophrenic if he did!Indiana Jones is in subjection to Harrison Ford, not the other way around.
