Turn to islam now? Wow theres no mention of the virgin birth, His crucifixion, resurrection or anything. you are pathetically desperate
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28781997


NO I wasn't suggesting turning to Islam now... The guy was a Christian discussing what a Christian book says...

It doesn't make the book correct.

It was what some Christians taught and it has insights from Jesus brother and early Christians.

You have become a waste of my time.

sorry you feel that way but I will stand up for what is right.
You posting this video are ready to throw out the virgin birth, resurrection, the crucifixion all so you can prove Jesus wasn't God. Now thats a real waste of time

Now you are making things up... you false accuser...1rof1

I'm not ready to throw anything out. Stop telling lies!

You might have to do your own study because all through this discussion you have ignored Jesus' precise teachings to insert your own dogma.

The reason I didn't answer the Thomas line is because quite simply it is absolutely contradicted in earlier pieces that I have posted.

Why didn't Jesus ever say "I am GOD"?

To prove it all again & again, over and over is a complete is a waste of my time.

I will follow Jesus' instructions when confronted with people like you, however I do not wish you any of the ill will that the verses following this one would suggest. suggest.

Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

I'll just agree to disagree!

WOW! Trying to explain the obvious to you is like pulling teeth.

Either you are wrong or Jesus is lying.



Enough of this sillyness.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1190661

Like I said before be careful you are still in yours sins unless you believe

Joh 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
Joh 8:20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
Joh 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Joh 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
Joh 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am (he), ye shall die in your sins.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28781997


Did you intentionally leave out what comes next? I see who you are now!

John 8:25-29

25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me , I speak these things.


Who taught Jesus (the son)? GOD (the father). Under your belief Jesus has to be lying here. Jesus has to have taught himself. Why do you choose to make Jesus a liar?

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Under your beliefs Jesus always does things that please Jesus - He states it here. Once again you undermine Jesus' reverence for his father GOD.

You probably haven't comprehended it yet, but you should realise that I am not actually addressing you, with my quotes of scripture, as you have lost the ability to assess.

My quotations have been for others who will read them with an open heart & mind.

Thankyou for enabling me to speak to them through your ignorance.

Proof that "the word" has been corrupted by indoctrinated man made dogma.

You post a video about a book from a pro Islam youtube account. A book that claims to be older than the Bible. I can only assume you are promoting this book or why else would you promote it? Are you not using this book to promote your view? If thats what you did would you like to recant your position and denounce your view of the book now? that would be OK, so what, you made a mistake.

Jesus never denied being God in the Bible, never denied it to Thomas either. So was Thomas deceived and had the pagan trinity deception conspiracy already begun and Thomas had fell victim to it and was deceived yet Jesus failed to correct him because he was tired? You expect true believers to swallow that?

mental masturbation...get on with paradise creation and finish up the theorizing...its not helping any of us will REAL life here. I love it how followers of the gospel spend so much time studying this or that but miss the big point of bringing the garden of eden back to earth again. Thats the real goal. The big secret is that God is each and every one of us - some realize and create heaven on earth as best they can, while most fuss around with nonsense of every type.

Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...
Jesus criticized religious leaders of his time for misleading people. He said to them.." you roam around the world to convert people to your religion; after converting him, you double his chance to enter hell". Jesus was not supporting any religion, because God is not limited to any religion.

Lets just say all leave your religions and forget your petty arguments, you all argue over Jesus, when he himself didn't exactly like religion and said you have a higher chance of going to hell when you are part of a religion.

I mean if you look at the small amount of people that will get into heaven(if it exists)and how low it is you will notice is makes no sense compared to all the religious people there are, you should all listen to Jesus and stop being part of organized religion and trust in your teacher( i don't believe he exists and i'm not religious) just pointing out the obvious.

Re: If Jesus Is God or Co-Equal to God Then Why...
I had a few extra minutes so I decided to address some objections which people notoriously bring up in there defense of the Jesus is GOD subject.

I base my answers on Jesus' alleged actual words. I think I can trust Jesus.

The "i am" evidence, (which always gets presented), has several flaws, that most people have never even considered, because they don't study correctly, and don't read with an analytical mind.

GOD gave you that mind so you probably should use it! Shouldn't you?

1. All those people and those Bible versions who have "I AM" or "I Am" as evidence are telling fibs. Jesus probably spoke Aramaic and everyone knows, (well I hope they do), that Aramaic and Ancient Hebrew didn't have capital letters.

So to type it with capitals is to give it far more emphasis than may have been meant. Should our translations be at least somewhat accurate without changing emphases?

2. Moses was the one who alleged that GOD said "i am who i am" or "i am that i am". Now this doesn't make any sense at all. Instead of saying "The GOD of Israel sent me" he was meant to say "i am" sent me?

BUT Moses has more problems than that - Credibility being one of them. Moses using the term "GOD said" to justify everything, was a war criminal. He taught stoning,ethnic cleansing, slavery, infanticide and abortion.

Oh you didn't know about abortion?

Numbers 5:16-22 (NIV) “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord."

Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.

After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.

Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you.

But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”—

here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell.

May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”


Do you really think that the most intelligent being ever allowed Moses and his priests to add dust to water as a test for fidelity? Note : But only fidelity for the woman. Surely this is absurd, isn't it?

But Jesus contradicts many of Moses' accounts with one line

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Is Moses or Jesus lying... Whose version do you trust more?

Why would Jesus say such a thing if he was GOD and had spoken directly to Moses? The Bible & Moses said he did!

See some massive problems here with Moses' credibility? See a problem here with GOD and abortion?

3. Jesus very occasionally used the term "i am" but in one particular instance he gave more detail.

Matthew 8:58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.

People read this line, grab it and pretend it aligns with the OT "i am who i am" line from Moses the terrible, BUT, miss the key word… Abraham!

If Jesus had said “before adam I am” then that would have put him before man.

BUT Abraham? Abraham is nowhere near the first in this alleged genealogy.

Something is definitely wrong, and believers just read over it as if it was nothing.

Jesus is saying he goes back to before Abraham… This is a crazy choice, as GOD, he has to go back to before Adam at least another 19 generations!

So how do believers miss this important stuff? How do they believe in the atrocities of Moses as "from GOD"? - Does your GOD allow people to be like Moses, and to commit the crimes of Moses?

And how do they accept "i am" as meaning so much when it is very peculiarly used in both cases?

I'll let you ponder those dilemmas for a little while.

Lastly, people quote all manner of passages, (usually said by men, or reported by men, like Paul, or, from John in Revelations, again purporting to be from GOD), that claim Jesus is GOD.

Can we trust men's views on making this decision or should the only version that merits consideration be that of Jesus the "Son of GOD" as declared. He was on Earth afterall, and surely it is following his precise teachings that make you Christian.

Why didn't the most intelligent being ever simply say "I am GOD", if Jesus was truly GOD. GOD said this -

Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

I hope this has helped in sorting the wheat from the charf.

Good luck with your studies.

peace

"Before Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection He said the Father alone knew the day and hour of His return. It wasn't until after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection that omniscience is attributed to Jesus."

[link to carm.org]

Passages where Jesus speaks about his relationship to the Father are:

“Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58).

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me ( John 14:11)

I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one--as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. (John 17:21)

Mark (14:60-64).

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” They all condemned him as worthy of death. (63-64).

BUT Abraham? Abraham is nowhere near the first in this alleged genealogy.

Something is definitely wrong, and believers just read over it as if it was nothing.

Jesus is saying he goes back to before Abraham… This is a crazy choice, as GOD, he has to go back to before Adam at least another 19 generations!

So how do believers miss this important stuff? How do they believe in the atrocities of Moses as "from GOD"? - Does your GOD allow people to be like Moses, and to commit the crimes of Moses?

And how do they accept "i am" as meaning so much when it is very peculiarly used in both cases?

I'll let you ponder those dilemmas for a little while.

Lastly, people quote all manner of passages, (usually said by men, or reported by men, like Paul, or, from John in Revelations, again purporting to be from GOD), that claim Jesus is GOD.

Can we trust men's views on making this decision or should the only version that merits consideration be that of Jesus the "Son of GOD" as declared. He was on Earth afterall, and surely it is following his precise teachings that make you Christian.

Why didn't the most intelligent being ever simply say "I am GOD", if Jesus was truly GOD. GOD said this -

Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

I hope this has helped in sorting the wheat from the charf.

Good luck with your studies.

peace

Oh I read the Bible very closely and studied it! What makes me different, to most, is I noted all the unGODly things in it... told to us by men.

For example if any of the gospels have been added to by men then they could have added anything anywhere.

You will notice that John 5:4, Acts 8:37, and 1 John 5:7. Mark 16:9-20 are missing from some Bibles.

This is because Bible scholars think they were added later, by scribes for any number of reasons.

If you didn't know this then ... SURPRISE!

What other verses have been added or tampered with?

If GOD inspired the tampering then his omniscience is put into question as he didn't get it right from the beginning.

When Jesus' changed Moses' laws, given to Moses allegedly from GOD, then what does that say?

If Jesus and GOD are the same... Did they get it wrong the first time?

Did GOD really tell Moses to put dust in women's holy water? Is GOD really that dumb?

You are allowed to think you know!
