There are THREE "gods" in the first two chapters of Genesis. The CREATOR The "Lord God"... the group of them and the "Lord"...the overseer. The blood sacrifice was to please the OVERSEER. The guy people call Jesus (not his real name) hated the blood sacrifice. The "Christian Bible"..and ALL versions of it, are based upon the work of Constantine and his 60 pagan priests that he made the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church. When you find out the TRUTH, it will shake you to the core. Elohim means "mighty ones" in Genesis, the reference is to the angels who are the "workers" of God they are in the image of God and so are we the Bible describes a long process---the process of making angels "MIGHTY ONE"...not mighty ones . Dont twist things to your liking Sorry, but you are wrong it is plural in the Hebrew to make this as simple as possible, have a look in your Strong's Concordance the word translated "God" in Genesis 1:1 is H430 the word elohyim is a masculine noun and the plural of H433 (Eloah) if you have studied any Hebrew, you would know that "-im" is a plural form of the word Mighty ones Here is Strong's outline of Biblical use of the word: 1) (plural) a) rulers, judges b) divine ones c) angels d) gods 2) (plural intensive - singular meaning) a) god, goddess b) godlike one c) works or special possessions of God d) the (true) God e) God GREEK was the "original", "Hebrew" was second; Latin was third, then English, then every language in the world. |

They are father and son. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1550123 1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. That is an interesting passage, but how do you know you are taking it in context the way it was intended? What if the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are of one purpose - that is how they are one. They are not the same being, otherwise there would be no point in differentiating between them. They are three different entities with one purpose, yet their personages serve different purposes. That's just how I understand it :-) Rising Son... that makes much more sense to me. They think and act as one as they are totally in sync. And succinctly put also... Well Done! Father , son and holy spirit = Mind, body and soul. To live is to believe in the power of dreams! To dream is to believe in the power of love! To love is to Know the truth! The Desire to Be fuel the belief that you Are which ignite the Will to Become which bring back forth the desire to be... Let it be-come you! It means Stop seeking your higher self! It is seeking you! Stand still in your mind to calm the waters of your mind and then it shall find you, so you can ride those waves together! your true self lies somewhere between your heart and your consciousness. It is called the heart consciousness,which is the creator, which is you! The heart create the emotions and our mind evoke its purpose, from which we dream the life we live in order to imagine the nature of reality and finally remember love! The highest Purpose of our mind is the ability to Forget! Go on and Forgive yourself! There is no love in truth but there is truth in love! Be authentic, nobody else can do it for you! |

When Jesus performs miracles, he's supposed to be an ordinary man in all ways but sin. So if you or I we're sinless we would get Miracles? Not likely gonna turn out like that. So they came from God for him. How? He does a bit of ritual and maybe says a few words, but sometimes it seems as if the miracles flowed from him, which leaves the question of it being triggered and encated by his thoughts or his will that it be so without actually doing verbal commands like a sorceror, so some force or entity could be cloaked in the shadows doing parlor tricks with alien machines that made it look like Jesus was doing stuff he couldn't. Anything else, like him making it all happen from outerspace, as an observer before or after, put's in in a timewarp and sours the purity of it being a divine gift, in light of him getting dead and resurrecting like some aliens kept him in stasis and revived him after a few days. So The Powers That Be of the time, got desperate and tried to get it out of him because they, like their contemporaries, covet everything and can't allow anyone to have any power that is not under their authority. Miracles don't do tricks for shit-heads and they can't allow that because it undermines every wicked deciet they pull to keep people under their influence as they attempt in perpetual futility to prove that doing the wrong thing is somehow dominant, proper, and free of negative reprucussions. So how can the Holy Spirit do miracles for Jesus without some sort of communication, or did Jesus just go around pointing at things and touching stuff, while the aliens or future Humans with time machines, made things happen for him at their own discretion. Was he being led? His miracles didn't go much beyond what is already being done or at least concieveable in the future of modern scientific technology. All it would take is a bunch of goofs going back in time for real and jacking the past in their own favor. And why did he get captured? He could have Miracled them all away from him without harm. Is there a limit to how many mountains a man gets to move? He owes it to us to come back and explain some stuff. I think the timeof his return is not until the idiots trying to run the show prove it to themselves and everyone else for all time that they are not in charge, most likely a lesson learned the hard way sorry i don't know the answers to your questions |

We all know that born-again Christians are the only people who will be in heaven. Not just the type who attend church, but they need to repent of ALL their sins and become perfect, as God is perfect. Why do you think Jesus said the road is NARROW and only a few get in? He said broad and wide is the road to hell. Who goes to heaven is rather simple. People who have become perfect through the work of the holy spirit that lives inside of them. No one else goes to heaven. If you have sin in your life, go and sin no more. You can't get into heaven if you are a sinner because God will not keep company with sinners. All people of every other religion except for Christianity will go to hell where they will share in the punishment of Satan. All people who are luke warm, Ladocean church goers, will also be in the lake of fire. All liars will be in the lake of fire. The road is really NARROW. You people need to become born again and you need to let the holy spirit work in your lives. It does no good to argue what is in the Bible. You have to listen to what JESUS said. |

The only way to into Sheol way through the flesh and the only way to open the seal, gate, portal to the underworld was to be sinless. Christ came in the flesh, died in the flesh to go to the underworld to open the seals to free mankind from going to the underworld, and now the kingdom of heaven is open to all men. God freed the Israelites from Egypt because they were trying to escape Sheol on their own. This is why over and over and over again the bible calls Christ the redeemer, the sinless one, the sacrificed lamb. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Calvinist, Church of Latter Day all believe Christs descent into the underworld, and believe it is scriptural and teach it according to Wikipedia.

No where does it say God cannot look upon sin. It does say God is angry with the sinner every day (Ps.7:11kjv). He must be cognizant of those sins or how could he be angry about them. Jesus made the statement also that the Father was greater than him (John.14:28). So no, Jesus is not exactly co-equal in that sense, but nevertheless, he is the second member of the Godhead, and in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (Col.2:9). My personal opinion about not knowing the day or hour, but the Father only. I believe Jesus meant while he was the son of man here on earth, at that time. Of course Jesus as God is now omniscient..to be so you must know all things to qualify in that category (omniscient). |

BTW Im not a JW or claim any "religion" Just a Followr of the Gospel is all As a true Christ-man, one has to realize that we are not poly-theistic. Christianity is monotheistic, meaning ONE God. However the Godhead Defacto is made up of 3 offices: The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. The concept of Father is used to describe the relationship between God and His creation, that being us. He is the Creator of all. That includes the flesh. And, that includes the flesh that made up Jesus Christ that came from the Adamic Hebrew bloodline. This flesh is the vessel in which the Holy Spirit would inhabit on Earth as well as sit on the Throne in Heaven as JHVH. All three offices make up the Godhead Defacto. The best analogy to describe it would be a pitcher of water and a glass. The water is the Holy Spirit. It fills the pitcher but some of it was poured into the glass. The pitcher is JHVH and the glass was Christ. That is why Christ stated that if you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father. The very name Emmanuel, which was another name for Jesus means God with us. Something you must not forget is that the flesh of Christ was subject to all things of this world but through the Holy Spirit, He was able to live as a perfect example of how to control yourself and make it through this world. He spoke to His Father in Heaven which was the office of the Creator, the Father, and they were both connected by the Holy Spirit. God said that he would create a new Covenant that would be written on the hearts of men. He accomplished this through Christ according to the great book of Hebrews. The Old Covenant is the Old Testament and the New Covenant is the New Testament. Does it not affect you heart when you know the Gospels and realize that our Holy Father in Heaven came to Earth to be martyred for us? And He did it perfectly. What a wonderful gift He gave us - a way to wash sin away and be Holy. Now when Christ was on the cross, he completed Psalm 22 perfectly with astounding detail. He was still teaching even as He died. This was written by King David the prophet king approximately 1000 years before Christ would be crucified. Psalm 22 King James Version (KJV) 22 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. 11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations. 29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. There is so much more, but just remember that their is only ONE God, and He is always in control. We do not pray to Jesus, we pray in His name. We pray to God. And through God's grace we are helped by a comforter, a divine guiding hand known as the Holy Spirit. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24056251 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 Who do you say Jesus is ? John 12:44-45 44 Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in me, believes not in me, but in Him who sent Me. 45 And he who sees me sees Him who sent me. Jesus is making it clear here that you are to believe in him, yet Jesus wants you to mature in him and understand something else quite wonderful about him. That is that the one who sent him is in fact the same one you see when you look at Jesus. Jesus is God Almighty the Father however while on earth he never operated with more power than that of a son. So before you misunderstand read the rest of this document. Isaiah 45-21-23 21 Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; There is none besides me. Jesus is a just God and Savior and it states there is no GOD or Savior besides the God of Israel. Since this is Jewish scripture then Jesus is either God and Savior or he is not. If this scripture is true and for correctly taught Christians we know it is, then Jesus is God Almighty the creator and our Heavenly Father. John 1 makes that clear as well. 22 “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. Once again God declares there is no God but the God of Israel 23 I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall take an oath. Notice above God said he has sworn by himself and to him every knee shall bow. If every knee is going to bow to Jesus then Jesus has to be God Almighty our Father. John 14:9 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Isaiah 9:6 6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And his name will be called; Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. John 20:26-28 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” So who is Jesus Christ according to the scriptures above? Jesus is God the Father the creator, but when Jesus became flesh he came as a son with no more power than Adam had before the fall. Adam had great authority and wisdom with God in the garden until he fell. Jesus had to pass the test Adam failed to redeem us which was temptation and obedience. If Jesus had used his power as God rather than limit himself to no more power than Adam had before the fall then Lucifer would have known who Jesus was and from God’s point of view it would have been cheating When Jesus said he considered it robbery to be considered equal to God he did mean it. Even though Jesus was the Father he was operating with only the power Adam had as a son before the fall. Any other power Jesus manifested he attested to the Holy Spirit's work. The Holy spirit also spoke out of heaven saying concerning Jesus, ” This is my beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased.” Jesus also said ” The father is greater than I.” Note there is no contradiction here, Jesus at this point in time was limiting himself in power to that of a son. Jesus knew he had to die for us in order to redeem us and Israel legally, Jesus also knew he had to keep hidden the fullness of who he was until all was fulfilled, but Jesus gave us clues everywhere who he was. When Jesus died on the Cross for us he died as a real son of God because he limited himself in power to that of a son, but when Jesus rose for our justification he no longer had to hide who he was. Peter said you are the son of the living God, and Jesus affirmed that without correction to Peter. Years later doubting Thomas said MY LORD AND MY GOD and Jesus did not correct him. Before Jesus had ascended he said to Mary ” Do not touch me Mary for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Later he said to Thomas, put your hand in my side and touch my wound and be believing not faithless. The scriptures declare that no one can say Jesus is Lord (with faith & understanding) without the Holy Spirit. The Word Lord in the Greek is Kurios, it is as Thomas spoke it. It does not mean Lord Churchill or some knighted person from England. It means LORD as in God Almighty. Most Christians call Jesus Lord but do not even know what the Greek and Hebrew meanings for the word Lord mean. The writer of the Gospels were NOT confused about who Jesus was after it was revealed. They made it clear in their writings what they meant. They could have used many usages of the greek concerning the word Lord. In the Greek the writers could have used the word Lord that means like a landlord or a banker or even a person with great authority but lessor than God, but they did not use that usage. The Greek word for Lord they used the word Kurios, which means God and Master. This is the exact word Thomas pronounced about Jesus when he finally got it right and said to Jesus: "My Lord and God" 1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. Did you notice that above, it says no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. I'm sure every atheist could say Jesus is Lord pretending for a good laugh if they wanted to. So what does this scripture really mean for a Christian? Why do you need the Holy Spirit in order to say this with real understanding and faith. Because you cannot say until the Holy Spirit reveals to you what it really means, and you cannot say it as a real believer unless you know it is absolutely true. The writer used the word Kurios for Lord in this scripture. Kurios means God Almighty and Master. So if the scripture is true and all real Christians really believe the scripture, then they should say, "No one can say Jesus is God Almighty except by the Holy Spirit." That is what this scripture means in the original Greek and that is what is actually saying. If the English translators had any guts at all they would have translated that way. They knew what the word Kurios means. Now Jesus does not require you to understand this to be saved, however to really know him it is quite important. Now I made it really clear in the first portion of this page how to reconcile some of the other misunderstandings. Those of you who do not know who Jesus is but say you are Christian then you are at best a Christian who wants to believe but mostly likely has never had a real experience with the Holy Spirit of Jesus. If you have had that experience then you have yet to get serious with studying the scriptures with the Holy Spirit's help, because the Holy Spirit would have surely shown this to you and help you understand it if you asked. If you are over dependent on Pastors and preachers this may also be the other reason. You have to get to the place where the Holy Spirit is always your first teacher. If you lean to much on pastor then they even the best of them will limit your growth and relationship with the Holy Spirit. So if you do not yet understand this then mostly likely you are a baby Christian at best concerning the word of God and may have good and honest intentions. However you have very little understanding. I hope you will mature in Christ Jesus the Lord our God and seek his Holy Spirit to teach you. Every disciple of Jesus Christ when they called Jesus Lord knew what they were saying, they were saying that Jesus Christ is God. I think its about time you know too. Notes: Jehovah is an anglicized representation of Hebrew a vocalization of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible. In the Greek translation of the Bible that was used in the time of Jesus, the personal name of God, YAHWEH, was translated into Greek as (kurios), translates into English as Lord or Master The New Testament Greek Lexicon Strong's Number: 2962 Original Word Word Origin κύριος from kuros (supremacy) Transliterated Word Phonetic Spelling kyrios koo'-ree-os Parts of Speech TDNT Noun Masculine 3:1039,486 Definition he to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he has power of deciding; master, lord the possessor and disposer of a thing the owner; one who has control of the person, the master in the state: the sovereign, prince, chief, the Roman emperor is a title of honour expressive of respect and reverence, with which servants greet their master this title is given to: God, the Messiah Translated Words KJV (748) - Lord, 667; Sir, 6; lord, 54; master, 11; misc, 4; sir, 6; NAS (720) - Lord, 626; Lord of lords, 2; Lord's, 12; lord, 10; lords, 1; master, 38; master's, 3; masters, 8; masters', 1; owner, 6; owners, 1; sir, 11; sirs, 1 So the scripture is true, ” No one can say Jesus Christ is God Almighty (LORD) except by the Holy Spirit. That is what that scripture really means. No one can say Jesus is God except by the Holy Spirit. If you say Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings then what you are really saying is that Jesus is God above all Gods King above kings. So be the truth Amen and Forever Amen. I praise you Father Jesus Father God, Holy Holy is the God of Abraham Praise to Jesus Christ in the Highest |

EGYPT, Pharaohs and the after life CHRIST'S Descent into Sheol to Free Souls CHRIST rips the Veils..Opens the Seals, Portal The premise is All man went to Sheol (underworld) because of Sin. The only way to into Sheol way through the flesh and the only way to open the seal, gate, portal to the underworld was to be sinless. Christ came in the flesh, died in the flesh to go to the underworld to open the seals to free mankind from going to the underworld, and now the kingdom of heaven is open to all men. God freed the Israelites from Egypt because they were trying to escape Sheol on their own. This is why over and over and over again the bible calls Christ the redeemer, the sinless one, the sacrificed lamb. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Calvinist, Church of Latter Day all believe Christs descent into the underworld, and believe it is scriptural and teach it according to Wikipedia. So this is a very old belief, its just not taught in the modern church... [link to en.wikipedia.org] 19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:19-22 I see stuff like this all the time. Usually these videos and comments are made by those that cannot understand a simple timeline. Or those that have not done enough historical research. Egypt did not come first, friends. And actually Egypt changed it's belief system a few times depending on the leader in different eras. The concepts of the underworld and hell were taken from the original account. But people often like to try and discredit the Holy Bible by saying that it was borrowed from some other culture. This is actually very, very incorrect. Matter of fact Sumerian and Chaldea borrowed from the story of creation and it has been documented well. So why do people insist on spreading untruths? Obviously it smacks of an underlying agenda that will ultimately fail. |
