God's Truth

There is only one God and He is the Father. Since Jesus is God he is that same one and only God and Father.
Three persons, therefore: three beings.
I will go with what the Bible teaches:
The Son of God was given the authority to judge and forgive by His Father, God.
John 5:22-27
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 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.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Hebrews 1:8
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
One being...three person's...
The verse has one being speaking to a second being.
The verse quoted shows one being talking to a second being.Which in no way excludes a third from existing, which is what you're claiming, that the third Person does not exist because He is not mentioned in this verse.
Hence, an argument from silence.
So close!! You stopped exactly 1 verse too soon;
Ex 3:15-16
5 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and (seen) that which is done to you in Egypt:
Notice ..... NO WHERE does Jehovah state that "I am" is a NAME.
Are you unfamiliar with the Septuagint???
Fail! Not only didn't you prove your point, you tried to use Origen's cultic LXX to do it.
I can't go slow enough for you to understand.Slower:
No, you don't need to try to look for anything except the truth.Please show us scripture that has men forgiving sins committed against others.
Show us where God delegates that authority to ANYONE BUT JESUS.
John 3:35-36 35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. |
The verse quoted shows one being talking to a second being.
The original claim is that the verse is referring to one being and three persons.
That original claim is an argument from stupidity.
I point out the stupidity
in the original claim
by stating the truth that there are two beings in the verse.
You are so confused by the Trinity doctrine that you are seeing a third being in verses that only have two beings mentioned.
The Bible teaches that there are many more than just three gods.Now you're claiming there are three Gods.
Not quite.There is only one God.
That is not found anywhere in the Bible.He is three Persons.
The Bible states that Jesus is the Christ (promised Messiah), the Son of God.Who do you think Jesus is if not God?
The Bible states that Jesus came from heaven.Do you believe that Jesus came from heaven?
The Bible states that Jesus was a man, but never states that Jesus was "just" a man.Do you think Jesus was just a man?
The Bible states that the Son of God was born as a human child.You think God just had a human child?
The Bible states that Jesus was sinless, but the Bible does not say how Jesus did it.How was this man sinless?
Hebrews 5:8 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; |
Philippians 2:8-9 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: |
Hebrews 1:8
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
One being...three person's...
The original claim is that the verse is referring to one being and three persons.
I already did that.Please quote the post where this claim was made.
There are no verses that say God is one being in three persons.The claim is that God is one Being, three Persons, not that that specific verse says that.
I have no reason to disprove the trinity, since the Bible never teaches the trinity.Your claim is that since the Holy Spirit isn't mentioned disproves the trinity, which again I point out is an argument from silence.
The argument from stupidity comes from claiming that two equals one which equals three.And this is a straw man and appeal to the stone.
The trinity doctrine is nothing but proof by repeated assertion, but saying something over and over does not make it true.First of all, God is ONE Being, not three.
He is three PERSONS, not three Beings.
Okay, good, you believe that Jesus came from heaven. However, I want you to clarify that. Do you think that Jesus was alive in heaven?The Bible states that Jesus is the Christ (promised Messiah), the Son of God.
The Bible states that Jesus came from heaven.
So what kind of man do you think Jesus was when on earth?The Bible states that Jesus was a man, but never states that Jesus was "just" a man.
You believe Jesus was alive in heaven as a Son of God?The Bible states that the Son of God was born as a human child.
Right, Jesus was sinless; however, all humans sin. So Jesus was just a regular man taught by God and was sinless?The Bible states that Jesus was sinless, but the Bible does not say how Jesus did it.
The Bible states that Jesus learned obedience and that the obedience of Jesus is the reason God gave Jesus a name above all other names.
Said no one, ever.
Good Lord.
Read your Bible.
Bible study is actually “Studying the Bible.”
Take it seriously.
The truth is that John’s account depicts Jesus as anti-Semitic.
I am not going to do your research for you.
I do think, however, that you are not even curious enough to do any for yourself.
There are no dead beings in heaven.Okay, good, you believe that Jesus came from heaven. However, I want you to clarify that. Do you think that Jesus was alive in heaven?
Jesus was called the Son of Man in heaven, according to the Book of Enoch.You believe Jesus was alive in heaven as a Son of God?
The angels were called the sons of God.
Are you saying you believe Jesus was an angel in heaven before coming to earth?
Book of Enoch 46:1-8 1 And there I saw One who had a head of days, And His head was white like wool, And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man, And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels. 2 And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that 3 Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and) why he went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me: This is the son of Man who hath righteousness, With whom dwelleth righteousness, And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden, Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him, And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever. 4 And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen Shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats, [And the strong from their thrones] And shall loosen the reins of the strong, And break the teeth of the sinners. 5 [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms] Because they do not extol and praise Him, Nor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them. 6 And he shall put down the countenance of the strong, And shall fill them with shame. And darkness shall be their dwelling, And worms shall be their bed, And they shall have no hope of rising from their beds, Because they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits. [And raise their hands against the Most High], And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it. And all their deeds manifest unrighteousness, And their power rests upon their riches, And their faith is in the gods which they have made with their hands, And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits, 8 And they persecute the houses of His congregations, And the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of Spirits. |
Well, there are people who just think Jesus came from heaven because God made him. You don’t need to be sarcastic.There are no dead beings in heaven.
I am asking you if you think that Jesus was an angel in heaven before coming to earth.Jesus was called the Son of Man in heaven, according to the Book of Enoch.
I am not going to discuss that book. Let’s keep discussing your beliefs and what you claim according to the Bible.Book of Enoch 46:1-8
1 And there I saw One who had a head of days,
And His head was white like wool,
And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man,
And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.
2 And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that
3 Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and) why he went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me:
This is the son of Man who hath righteousness,
With whom dwelleth righteousness,
And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden,
Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him,
And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever.
4 And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen
Shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats,
[And the strong from their thrones]
And shall loosen the reins of the strong,
And break the teeth of the sinners.
5 [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms]
Because they do not extol and praise Him,
Nor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them.
6 And he shall put down the countenance of the strong,
And shall fill them with shame.
And darkness shall be their dwelling,
And worms shall be their bed,
And they shall have no hope of rising from their beds,
Because they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits.
[And raise their hands against the Most High],
And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it.
And all their deeds manifest unrighteousness,
And their power rests upon their riches,
And their faith is in the gods which they have made with their hands,
And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits,
8 And they persecute the houses of His congregations,
And the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of Spirits.
Hogwash.No you didn't. You just quoted the Psalms and ignore that the writer of Hebrews declares the Son of God to be God.
The writer to the Hebrews does a great job of clarifying doesn't he.Hogwash.
Psa 45 is the text Hebrews 1:8,9 quotes. THE PROPHECY IS ABOUT THE KINGS OF ISRAEL, INCLUDING JESUS.
Did you get it this time??? I'm not ignoring the verse, I am proving what the verse MEANS.
