If Jesus were God WHILE he was a man then how could he be dead for three days? God is immortal.
He is the Word of God but he humbled himself while he dwelt among us. He was just like us and he did his miracles through being filled with the Holy Spirit and possessing perfected faith.

Now would you show how that understanding is consistent with Jesus calling the Father "the only true God"? Or do you think you have shown that consistency? If so, would you please spell it out? Otherwise, I can only guess. Are you saying that Jesus once was "true God", but after He became born a hu...

And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3 NRSV Is not Jesus "true God"? If not, how can He be part of the Trinity? Also, by use of the conjunction "and", Jesus seems to indicate that He is something other than the only true G...

Also, these people in Gladstone did ask Jesus for healing and didn't get it. Why? Was it because they didn't use the right formula? They weren't able to produce enough of their own faith? Their theology had flaws in it? As i said God usually works through people , in this case that would be doctors...

God is not a cosmic ATM that spits out healings if we just use the right formula or have enough faith. That kind of thinking is tantamount to witchcraft--thinking we can make God do what we want Him to. I'm all for praying for miraculous I just take Jesus at his word which is that he never turned d...

As far as i can understand Jesus's own words it seems to me it is God's will to heal us but it's conditional on various things. However God seems to usually use people to do his will on earth, therefore i would seek medical help immediately because that is likely who God will work through , but stil...

In John 10.34 Jesus quoted Psalm 82.6 in answering the Pharisees accusation of blasphemy in that he was making himself like God. Many commentators interpret the word "gods" to mean judges but does it? Was Jesus responding by claiming that many men were called judges so it was OK for him to make him...

Gee, Paidion, I am tempted to say "yes" but I have the sneaking suspicion that as soon as I do so you are going to slam me a good one. Same here, i was feeling like a rodent being fed to a snake but here goes. Yes we are forgiven for our past sins and we are righteous positionally but going forward...

If our debt concerning sin has been paid, is forgiveness necessary? Or even possible? My understanding of scripture is that it is a simultaneous transaction and that the two are linked as a cause and effect. Jesus sacrifice was his payment for mankind's sin because he had that authority to stand in...
