Re: How Many Gods are there?

Oh, but the first and the last (God) said, "I was dead" twice in Revelation. Clearly, those two references from Revelation refer to Jesus. But there is nothing in the references to justify your placing "God" in parentheses in your quote. No, not in those references alone, but we already established...

Re: How Many Gods are there?

I don't think it's that complicated. The Word which became flesh is the preincarnate Christ, which, according to John, was in the beginning, was with God, and was God. What purpose would there be for John to write obscure, mysterious, and highly complex words, which he would know, would be difficult...

Re: How Many Gods are there?

I don't think it's silly. I see Paidon's attempt to make it look like Paul is referring to the blood of Jesus, not the blood of God. We know that Jesus (the Word) shed His blood on the cross. But the Word IS GOD, so God shed His blood also. Just like the church is both Christ's and God's, so the blo...

Re: How Many Saviors Are There?

I'm not convinced that Isaiah 42:8 or Isaiah 48:11 EVEN NEED a context to be understood correctly. The verses stand alone - the context does not change their meaning. In my opinion, requiring a context only serves to distract from their meaning, because their meaning is self-evident. It does not mat...

Re: How Many Gods are there?

Acts 20:28 - " ...to shepherd the church of GOD, which He purchased with HIS OWN BLOOD." Who said that Paul never called Jesus "God"? It's right there in Acts 20:28. Firstly, Paul didn't write the book of Acts. Luke wrote it. Dwight - Luke was quoting PAUL in that verse, so it was Paul speaking, NO...

Re: How Many Gods are there?

I just got off the phone with Steve on his show, where he gave an excellent teaching and explanation of this apparent contradiction. Steve pointed out that, in one sense, the persons of the Trinity are separate or distinct - yet, in another sense, they are one. He also said that that fact right ther...

Re: How Many Gods are there?

I admit that I do not have a clear understanding of the "classic"Trinitarian doctrine, as you put it. I try to make judgment calls based on what I read in the scripture, so if my "call" on this differs from the classic belief, then I am open to changing my understanding of the Trinity, if I can see ...

Re: How Many Saviors Are There?

In his prayer, Jesus himself addressed his Father as the ONLY true God. When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to...

Re: How Many Gods are there?

Well, if Jesus is God and the Father is God, then Jesus is the Father. I know many Trinitarians, probably most, say that the Father is not the Son, but I see the opposite in scripture. Phillip wanted to see the Father and Jesus basically told Him, "You're looking at Him." Jesus could have told Phill...
