The Gospel of John, Chapter ...Dear Adam Pastor,<br /><br /> The Gospel of John, Chapter 1 states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Does this not clearly indicate that Jesus is God? <br /><br /> Jesus also claims to be God himself, both directly and indirectly. For example, in John 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Jesus also said in Matthew 9:6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home."<br /><br />Peace!thomas_partlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015038080785644525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631791581098149859.post-59094514570916558332009-06-08T19:31:21.817-05:002009-06-08T19:31:21.817-05:00Greetings Brian Sullivan
You say that The Trinit...Greetings Brian Sullivan <br /><br />You say that <i>The Trinity is taught in Scripture</i>; <br />yet neither 2 Cor 13.14 nor 1 Pet. 1.2 say anything about <i>the ONE GOD being three persons!</i> or that <br /><i>"Our God is three persons in that one God."</i> <br /><br />Rather, Scripture teaches that GOD is solely ONE!<br />[Deut 6.4, cp. Mark 12.28ff]<br /><br />And that the ONE GOD is the Father.<br />Jesus identified the Father<br /><b>as the only true GOD & the only GOD</b> <br />[John 17.3, 5.44]<br /><br />Jesus Christ, in contrast, <br />is the Son of the ONE GOD, <br />the Son of the Father.<br />[Matt 16.16, John 10.36, 2 John 3]<br /><br />And the holy spirit is simply the spirit/presence of GOD and Christ in the church.<br />[John 14.23]<br /><br />There is no talk in Scripture of <b>God being somehow 3 persons!?!</b> <br /><br />And it is irrelevant what <i>so-called church fathers</i> who came decades after Christ, taught!<br />Because they were <b>not the appointed apostles of Christ</b> <br />who were given the words of Christ!<br />[2 Pet 3.2, 1 John 4.6, Jude 17, etc.]<br /><br />Therefore Brian Sullivan,<br />On the subject of the Trinity,<br />I recommend this video:<br /><a href="http://www.jesusishuman.com" rel="nofollow">The Human Jesus</a> <br /><br /><br />Take a couple of hours to watch it; and prayerfully it will aid you to reconsider "The Trinity"<br /><br />Yours In Messiah<br />Adam PastorAdam Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340033095309858240noreply@blogger.com
