What you don't seem to see, is that everything Jesus has, has been given to him from the father. He has been given authority over the heavens and the earth by the father, he is set at the father's right hand, by the father. He was given power over all flesh from the father, and the father has a handed judgment to the son. But it all comes from the father of lights, the living God. Without whom Christ could do nothing.

So it's not that Jesus is the father, but rather that the father has put Christ Jesus over everything. And the only way to the father is through him. He is the way, the truth and the life, and his way is the only way.

Jesus isn't God rosenritter. I've quoted many verses that show this clearly, and I've got many more if you wish to see them. And I believe in what is written in the Bible, and it clearly shows us, plainly, that not only is Jesus not God, but that God is also his God and father.

I'm sorry but that's what I can see clearly from the words of the book, everything you have quoted shows to me that God was in Christ, not that Christ is God.

There is only one Almighty God, and that's the father.

There is also this verse in Philippians about God exalting Jesus

Philippians 2:9

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

And there's this regarding Jesus judging

John 5

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man


Everything comes from the father. And everything that the son has is given to him from the father. And we are judged by the word of God through Christ. His words are Spirit and they are life!

Which is true only after a manner of expression. I could also say that Rosenritter has been given all authority to speak for Andrew Patrick, and it wouldn't mean that we are in truth two different people. Yes, you have given many verses that speak in the sense of delegation, having received all authority from, and so forth. None of which are conclusive in the face of overwhelmingly stark statements that contradict your conclusion, that I haven't yet heard your attempt to resolve.

John 1:1-11 KJV
(1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(2) The same was in the beginning with God.
(3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
(4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
(5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
(7) The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
(8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
(9) That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
(10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
(11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

You have your interpretation (that you must have for a while now) that you say Jesus is not God. What you lack is actual evidence. Show me any place in the Bible where Jesus denies being God, or that the scripture elsewhere denies he is God. Given the oh-so-many places where it makes the equivalence, and sometimes even directly says he was God, you should have at least one scriptural denial to fuel yours.

We make no headway when you evade these points ... and that's what it feels like.

No...

You claimed I said you knew her exact beliefs which I never even implied.


She said exactly what she believes.

She is not a traditional Trinitarian, you know that.

You made a false judgment for I do not know that which you claim I do.

I'm just saying that you know we'll what she believes as she has made it very clear for all.

No, I do not know well what she believes.
She didn’t make it clear to me.
Stop acting like I'm out to get you.
I am not acting like what you claim.
Snap out of it friend.

Again; peace, not that you seem to care to here my actual words that I do actually speak.
I don’t need to snap out of anything, and I do care.

First you would have to be able to substantiate your false claim, that I judged you.

I don’t have false claims.

Back off.

Now examine your words and mine.

I said you knew she wasn't a traditional Trinitarian. I also said she explained her exact belief.

Neither of those comments mean that you know her exact beliefs or that I lied or judged.

You claim I am being contentious but don't even care to look at yourself.

You are not without flaw.

Back to marhig.

Marhig acknowledges the scriptures that tell us to only bow to God.


She also acknowledges the scriptures that tell us to bow to Jesus.

She rightly tells us that God the Father tells us to bow to Jesus.

She uses the fact that Jesus will have some bow to us as proof that just because people will bow to us that is does not make us God.

What I gather from Marhig is that she wants to obey God the Father and do what He says.

God the Father tells us to bow to Jesus.

So we should bow to Jesus.

God the Father also says that we should call Jesus the Father.

So should we obey God the Father and do that?

Since Satan through pops and Rostenritter wants to hinder this discussion, even marhig herself; let's continue with the discussion anyway.

Marhig, you say you want to obey God the Father, correct?

Okay then, God the Father says Jesus is to be called 'Father'.

Will you obey Him?

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.


Did you see that scripture? God the Father says that Jesus the SON will be called God and Father.

So then, can we call Jesus that? Can we call Jesus 'God' and 'Father' without rebuke and attempted correction from you?

I never accused you though.

That is some of my point.

I freely admit that I did step in to your conversation with her and speak on her behalf. I admit it may not have been the best course of action or choice of words. I do not admit to judging you or falsely accusing you of anything. I said you were aware that she wasn't a traditional Trinitarian which I still stand by. I also said she has repeatedly, clearly stated her beliefs, as she herself has too said repeatedly and reiterated and expounded upon.

I have yet to attack you. You have a guilty conscience and don't like that I do know simple truths about you based on things you yourself have done or said.

You acting like you missed every single post she has put here with reference to her belief. This is a blatant lie.

I just accused you of lying.

Perhaps now you can know the difference.

Now please feel free to show that it is indeed me who is lying or falsely judging. You are now justified in doing so.

I don't care that you don't like the truth of my words or me personally. It is all just defence mechanisms for you at nearly all times. It is tiring to observe, especially when it is exuded towards those who wish only the very best for you personally, and who wish to peacably commune with you to the glorying of GOD/ CHRIST.


In case there is any confusion as to my meaning of the word "commune";

Popsthebuilder,

I do not care to read what you have to say about me...just not interested.

Could you just speak about the topic of the thread, and leave your personal opinions about me to yourself?

The author of this thread needs to do that too.

So much for you standing up for those you care about.

Oh wait what? You don't know?

Now get back on topic.

Many people are puzzled by this title because the Messiah, God's Son, is distinguished in the Trinity from God the Father. How can the Son be the Father. Several things must be noted in this regard. First, the Messiah being the second person of the Trinity is in His essence God. Therefore He has all the attributes of God including eternality. Since God is one (even though he exists in three persons), the Messiah is God. Second, the title "Everlasting Father is an idiom used to describe the Messiah's relationship to time, not his relationship to other members of the Trinity. He is said to be everlasting just as God (the Father) is called the Ancient of Days. The Messiah will be a fatherly ruler. Third, perhaps Isaiah had in mind the promise to David about the forgiveness of the kingdom which God promised would come through David's line. The Messiah, a descendant of David will fulfill the promise for which the nation had been waiting. From the Bible Knowledge Commentary (Old Testament)

It's always been about the thread topic.

I never stated a single opinion about you.

She didn't ever say you were wrong for your beliefs either.

You are simply making things up at this point.

You distinctly calling three different people workers of satan because they attempt to speak to you about the topic at hand is a sign for all.

Job: 9. 20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

Ephesians: 4. 1. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2. With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 17. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18. Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19. Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20. But ye have not so learned Christ; 21. If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27. Neither give place to the devil. 28. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Luke: 6. 39. And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40. The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 41. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42. Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 43. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47. Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48. He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49. But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Luke: 13. 25. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26. Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 29. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. 32. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 33. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 34. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 35. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Ephesians: 4. 1. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2. With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4.

There is a difference between Lord GOD/ LORD GOD/ LORD God which refers to GOD almighty, and Lord, King, Lord of lords, King of kings Son OF GOD which are references to Jesus the annointed of GOD.

As far as you pretending any are doing some great harm by not agreeing with you on every little point;

Matthew: 12. 7. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 18. Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. 19. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 21. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 23. And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 25. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26. And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 30. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 31. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. 33. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 42. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 43. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.


Perhaps you are perfect and the fruits you produce here are just contrary to that...wait, nope; according to scripture that just isn't the case.

Now if you can see past yourself then you might notice some good points being made about the topic at hand, but I'm certain you won't see them.

People who think they are perfect also think they are above correction.

I just thought you knew that by now, as I've said it quite a bit, and I know what you believe :)

I bow the knee to Jesus by becoming humble and obeying his teachings and living by they will of God, and God has put him in a place of worship. But I worship the father in spirit and in truth, as Jesus taught us to.

You say that God has placed Jesus in a place of worship, but Jesus said you are to only worship the Lord your God. Why do you say that God placed Jesus in a place of worship?

Luke 4:8 KJV
(8) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

We are to worship the creator and the creator only.

Revelation 14:7 KJV
(7) Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Spoiler
Colossians 1:14-16 KJV
(14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
(15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
(16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

John 1:1-3 KJV
(1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(2) The same was in the beginning with God.
(3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John 1:10-11 KJV
(10) He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
(11) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Could you explain further please?

Yet I'm being contentious and judgemental and making you out to be something you aren't displaying openly?

Snap out of it friend.

Again; peace, not that you seem to care to here my actual words that I do actually speak.

GE has always acted like a rabid animal for as long as I can remember (at least a year). Just give up attempting to speak to her like a normal person, it's easier.

Bright Raven, I think I understand what an idiom is, but Isaiah 9:6 doesn't look like an idiom to me. If it said "he shall be an everlasting father" that would sound like an idiom. But it says "his name shall be called the mighty God, the everlasting Father" which sounds a lot more like these are the names and titles that he will be called by.

Isaiah 9:6 KJV
(6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

What I am also noticing here is that "the mighty God" and "the everlasting Father" seem to have equal weight. If you say one is an idiom, then the other would also be an idiom by the same measure. I don't think "the mighty God" is an idiom. As to whether "the Trinity" is the best explanation of things, I think it is deficient (in one aspect at least) because it specifically objects to this child being called "the everlasting Father."

What I mean (and I mean this peaceably) is that your explanation seems contradictory. But if you were saying that "the mighty God" was also an idiom then even though I might disagree I would be able to say that you were being consistent.

... ah, I just noted that you credited that description to a Bible commentary. So maybe that's not your precise explanation. In that case please take my comment with a grain of salt and direct it at the commentary. Thanks.

It's always been about the thread topic.

You distinctly calling three different people workers of satan because they attempt to speak to you about the topic at hand is a sign for all.
It's always been about the thread topic.

I was called a worker of Satan last week because I was appealing to Christ's command to love one another even in discussions like these. Not for myself, but concerning someone else she was attacking.

There is a difference between Lord GOD/ LORD GOD/ LORD God which refers to GOD almighty, and Lord, King, Lord of lords, King of kings Son OF GOD which are references to Jesus the annointed of GOD.

If we can speak on topic, how many references to Jesus as Lord God, LORD God, and/or LORD God Almighty would it take for "Jesus is our God" to be up for your consideration? Can you give me a concrete number to aim for? Thanks in advance.
