I find it really interesting that these minor discrepancies in the verses (which are capable of being explained) are somehow more alarming than the implications of two mediators and two persons within Jesus.

There is every other brand of false doctrine in academic writing. Funny how this one is missing.
 Quoting: Bee Free


It's a new one.

One that doesn't address critical review.

1. So Jesus landed on His OWN shoulder at His baptism?

2. So Father God DID NOT speak from heaven at the baptism AND the Transfiguration?

3. So Jesus LED HIMSELF into the wilderness after His baptism?

4. So blasphemy of the Son of God Jesus can be forgiven BUT NOT blasphemy of Holy Spirit Jesus?

There is no good reason this interpretation should be new. It’s painfully obvious.

Asked and answered. To all these seeming discrepancies. You refuse to engage in proper exegesis. Truth will not be found in a Verse v. Verse showdown. It’s laughable to think the Bible could ever be that simple. But I’m not trying to convert you or anyone else here. I am trying to learn and develop an account of my best reading.

Cheers, but living aside a ROC catechumen and doing at least an hour long Theological discussion every night wears one down. I obviously hold some heretical beliefs which preclude me from Baptism in the ROC. I would say this is worth a listen (I won't put my thread up just a link) [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

So hearing a 'simpletons' (JK) version of the Union of God and Man through Christ might be quite the new 'eyes' kind of post. I'm looking forward to the post if the poster comes back.

No idea what you're saying.
 Quoting: Photine 75873658


? My neighbour is becoming Russian Orthodox, he reads and listens extensively to (4 or 5 hour) Orthodox talks. We live on an island, so he can only go to Vancouver every second week to attend Church. I have not quite made it there because I am a bit of a heretic (reincarnation is verboten in the ROC).

So every night we have about an hour long Theological discussion. He is still a catechumen. That means he has not been Baptized. He is working towards that. I tried to convince him we should turn the extra room in his place into a studio to do a youtube chatter thing....but not yet. But yes, everyday is a day for discussing theology as far as I am concerned.

Now, I'll, once I get a bit more grounded, ponder of Christ being the flaming sword in Eden because that is a basic presupposition of the Orthodoxy. But I'm going to have to go to Vancouver (a ferry ride away) and have this discussion with either the Priest (or more pertinently) the Deacon. It gets a bit complex really... This isn't a PBJ sammich.

 Quoting: Lance Roseman From BC


I'm from Ukraine, and most of the population is Orthodox. Orthodox church is almost like Catholics, they worship icons and images. Orthodox church is a political tool to control people. Popes have nice and expensive cars, they do everything for money. In Russia there are Old Orthodox believers, when Lenin became a leader, some real Orthodox people ran to woods and mountains, they still live there and worship God. Orthodox church in Russia is involved in politics and brainwashing people. Everyone who worships icons, images and idols are pagan. Only Jesus is Holy, and only Him we should worship. Only real priest we have is Jesus.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78275662


Here, in Canada, Icons and Saints are revered not worshipped. Only Christ is worshipped? I see not what you mean. And I'm prolly only the only punter that sponsored a a former Yugoslav family over here in the early 90's I know of.

The Holy Spirit isn't a "person". Scripture NEVER refers to him as a "person".

"Minor discrepancies"??? You can make all the claims you want but you CANNOT say that comparing ya'all's "doctrine" to verses like this are minor discrepancies.

Luke 4:1 And Jesus being

full
of the Holy Ghost

returned from Jordan,

and was led by the Spirit

into the wilderness,


I suspected you’d descend into ad hominem attacks. I respect your right to believe whatever you wish. But please do not approach me again. I will not engage you.
 Quoting: Bee Free

You're argument isn't with ME.

Jesus DOES NOT LIE. Scripture doesn't lie.

Here's 9 KEY verses that you folks have NO REAL answers for.

1. Notice God ANOINTED Jesus WITH the Holy Spirit.

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.


2. Jesus was FILLED with AND LED by the Holy Spirit.

Luke 4:1 And Jesus being

full
of the Holy Ghost

returned from Jordan,

and was led by the Spirit

into the wilderness,



3. The Holy Spirit LANDS on Jesus.

John 1

32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.


4. Blaspheming Jesus is forgivable - but NOT the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 12

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.


Mark 3

28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:



5. The Holy Spirit was SENT on Pentecost. It wasn't Jesus.

Acts 2

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


6. Jesus said "the Spirit of Truth will glorify ME".

John 16

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of
truth, is come, he will guide you into all
truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to
come.
14 He shall glorify me:
for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.



7. Jesus said the Father will send "ANOTHER Helper". That's IN ADDITION to Jesus being with the Apostles.

John 14:16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;

John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.


8. BOTH John the Baptist AND Peter says that Jesus will baptise folks WITH the Holy Spirit. NOT with "Himself".

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water
unto repentance: but he that cometh after
me is mightier than I, whose shoes I
am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire:



9. AND Peter says..."the GIFT of the Holy Spirit". This is NOT Jesus' Spirit.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent,
and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.



10. Peter - and others - "filled with the Holy Ghost" - NOT Jesus.

Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy
Ghost,
said unto them, Ye rulers of the
people, and elders of Israel,


Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the
place was shaken where they were assembled together;
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water
unto repentance: but he that cometh after
me is mightier than I, whose shoes I
am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire:



9. AND Peter says..."the GIFT of the Holy Spirit". This is NOT Jesus' Spirit.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent,
and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.



10. Peter - and others - "filled with the Holy Ghost" - NOT Jesus.

Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy
Ghost,
said unto them, Ye rulers of the
people, and elders of Israel,


Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the
place was shaken where they were assembled together;
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Re: Christ is the flaming sword that guards tree of life in the Garden of Eden.
Under YOUR "theory", EVERY VERSE in the Bible where the Holy Ghost / Holy Spirit is mentioned SHOULD SAY Jesus???

NONE of the above makes ANY sense.


--------------------------------------------------

Take a serious look at the implications of your Holy Spirit Jesus "THEORY".

--------------------------------------------------
0. Holy Spirit Jesus danced on the heads of the Apostles at Pentecost in Acts.

1. Son of God Jesus was led to the wilderness by Holy Spirit Jesus?

2. Son of God Jesus was filled WITH Holy Spirit Jesus?

3. Holy Spirit Jesus landed on Son of God Jesus after He was baptized?

4. Son of God Jesus had to go to heaven BEFORE Holy Spirit Jesus would be SENT?

5. Son of God Jesus would SEND Holy Spirit Jesus once He went to Heaven?

6. Holy Ghost Jesus impregnated Mary with Son of God Jesus?

7. Blaspheming Son of God Jesus is forgivable but blaspheming Holy Spirit Jesus IS NOT forgivable?

No idea what you're saying.
 Quoting: Photine 75873658


? My neighbour is becoming Russian Orthodox, he reads and listens extensively to (4 or 5 hour) Orthodox talks. We live on an island, so he can only go to Vancouver every second week to attend Church. I have not quite made it there because I am a bit of a heretic (reincarnation is verboten in the ROC).

So every night we have about an hour long Theological discussion. He is still a catechumen. That means he has not been Baptized. He is working towards that. I tried to convince him we should turn the extra room in his place into a studio to do a youtube chatter thing....but not yet. But yes, everyday is a day for discussing theology as far as I am concerned.

Now, I'll, once I get a bit more grounded, ponder of Christ being the flaming sword in Eden because that is a basic presupposition of the Orthodoxy. But I'm going to have to go to Vancouver (a ferry ride away) and have this discussion with either the Priest (or more pertinently) the Deacon. It gets a bit complex really... This isn't a PBJ sammich.

 Quoting: Lance Roseman From BC


I'm from Ukraine, and most of the population is Orthodox. Orthodox church is almost like Catholics, they worship icons and images. Orthodox church is a political tool to control people. Popes have nice and expensive cars, they do everything for money. In Russia there are Old Orthodox believers, when Lenin became a leader, some real Orthodox people ran to woods and mountains, they still live there and worship God. Orthodox church in Russia is involved in politics and brainwashing people. Everyone who worships icons, images and idols are pagan. Only Jesus is Holy, and only Him we should worship. Only real priest we have is Jesus.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78275662


Here, in Canada, Icons and Saints are revered not worshipped. Only Christ is worshipped? I see not what you mean. And I'm prolly only the only punter that sponsored a a former Yugoslav family over here in the early 90's I know of.
 Quoting: Lance Roseman From BC


I know there are "Old School" Orthodox peoples in Russia. They don't use electricity, and they live far from civilization. There are no roads to their land. I studied many works of Orthodox people. There are some mind opening books. I believe that there are real Christians in every religion. Not everyone who is involved in religion knows God.

SO WHAT?

NONE of that PROVES that Father God NOR His SON approved of those folks as "saints".

Humans did.

You don't get to proclaim YOURSELF as a saint.

I guess you missed the verses where Jesus said to be HUMBLE.

WHO is it that declares anyone "Saints"?

Father God.
