I hear selfishness and pride in your words. There is a thin line between tolerance and indifference.
 Quoting: Rising Son


The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.

No pride hear my friend I believe in all religions and no religions

sounds like a paradox but it's not
 Quoting: Aleph Tav


You are confusing wisdom with humility. They are very different things, yet they both come from the heart.
 Quoting: Rising Son


"As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose." — Bhagavad Gita (circa 250BCE), The Lord's Song.
 Quoting: Aleph Tav


I am not familiar with that passage, but why should any man serve his own purpose? He should live for others, in accordance with his Father's will.
"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

Truth needs no validation because it is self-evident and undeniable. Therefore, anything that requires validation to be realized or justified as truth must contain at least some degree of falsehood.

Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...


The power and number of 3 is a great thing we seem to be over looking as well as the holy spirit.
Jesus was supposed to have been 33 1/3 years old when he died and there are three points on the cross as well as many other things you could see that relate to a third thing or item that we are overlooking in our lives that Jesus was privy to.
I would call the pyramids in one of those but it has 4 sides to it,but if you look at it from just one side,it appears to have 3 points to it.

what are we missing?

Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...
I like this answer that I found. It makes sense to me...



Jesus was both God and man. He had two natures. He was divine and human at the same time. That is, there was the coming-together of two natures in one person. In Heb. 2:9 that Jesus was ". . . made for a little while lower than the angels . . ." Also in Phil. 2:5-8, it says that Jesus "emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men . . ." Col. 2:9 says, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form." Jesus was both God and man at the same time.

As a man, Jesus cooperated with the limitations of being a man. That is why we have verses like Luke 2:52 that says "Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Therefore, at this point in his ministry he could say He did not know the day nor hour of His return. It is not a denial of His being God, but a confirmation of Him being man.

I know the Bibles. I've read five of the popular English versions from the "FICTION" section of my library.

They all seem to contradict either each other or common sense in general.

If I were you, I'd stop looking in a bible for the answers because you won't find them.

What you will find is a few nice quotes and fables amongst a shit load of paranoia and self doubt.

Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...
the word image from latin. im is in or on age is a process

which is roughly my gathering. is simply meant "in his image" means on human kind there was placed a process.
i find things much more interesting if we can really gather the meaning of words.
"sin" for me means knowledge and not just carnal. i am sure many will disagree and i am not here to make you agree or disagree just do a bit deeper digging.

Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...
When Jesus Died on the cross and took on the sins of mankind did God the Father have to turn away and not look at his son because he is to HOLY to look upon sin, but yet Jesus could not only look upon sin but also take on all sin of mankind and it be nailed to the cross with him ?

And then again the question arises, if Jesus is God or Co equal to God The Father, Why does the bible tell us that no man knows the day nor the hour of his return not even the SON but only God The FATHER if Jesus is God or equal to his Father?

BTW Im not a JW or claim any "religion" Just a Followr of the Gospel is all
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24056251


to answer your second question first.... Jesus did not know the day or the hour during his time on Earth. but, he knows now.

God sees all sin. He will not be present among it are a part of it, but he sees it even before it takes place. Jesus is God, they are the same. Jesus is God made flesh and it is the flesh of God that took the sins of the world. The perfect atonement and love for His creation.
