Isiah 9

6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Mike , it has been awhile since we were into this thread. I'll try to pick up where we left off , maybe?

Many times in the Bible God and Jesus are described as equals, they have the same attributes, Jesus is sometimes referred to as God in the flesh. They are so much alike that we in our natural state , probably couldn't tell them apart.Your text here

I believe they are 2 separate individuals myself, for instance.........not counting the Holy Ghost...

I John ch5v7 7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.......meaning , they see everything alike.....they are like triplets,they don't disagree on anything....the only thing that God knows that is not known by Jesus and the Holy Spirit is when time is going to be ended.

There are religions among us that hinge their belief on one scripture or verse, and not taking into consideration the rest of the scriptures,or verses. The following verse tells me that we can't base all on one verse. 2Pet.1 20. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

The scriptures must be rightly divided....or properly interpreted....towards a harmonious meaning from verse to verse... 2Tim. 2 15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

When the scriptures are rightly divided or interpreted there will be no confusion between them, they will be in harmony with each other.

ICor. 14 33. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Does this help? I know I get lengthy on these subjects ,I hope it doesn't confuse more than explain. To me ,the Bible is to be taken from front to back. The more I think about a subject at hand the more comes to mind to try to identify with what is involved with that current subject.

I try to be simple in my terms of explanation, even if it doesn't come off that way.

Mike What is the disconnect ? I don't have to assume it is me. My take on this some how doesn't resonate with you. I don't know why I'm not being understood . To me it is clear and precise . I'm not offended . I am more curious than anything. The truth which I perceive is the truth. Help me out here so our discourse can continue with clear, precise expressions, concise .>>>

tis a real shame we lost most of the good dialog here.

Pot, when you read this next, regarding the Christ is God questions we had going. What about Isaiah 9:6? I wish I could reference the past posts, but I know most of it wasn't making any sense to me.>>>

I hope by bringing this into a personnel level and not just platitudes hasn't tagged it out. Dealing with the dash can get scary or being personnel might not be some place you guys want to go.>>>

This is the attitude I belive is what I'm talking about. There is a lot more to my reply as we get into it. Mike Jesus didn't care about the gift. It was the secret jugements or not so secret we have to deal with in our lives if we are searching . http:>>>

The parable of the lady that gave 2 mites, and the rich around her sneered at her gift comes to mind. Jesus said her gift was the most valuable of all, for she gave ALL that she had, the others simply gave out of the wealth, and their gift was no sacrifi>>>

Hi Ciak,

When I inventory my actions and motives, how many times is not in the inventory.

So I do not see how long term or short term makes a difference. Except with long term I put more wood on one particular fire.

To stop putting wood on the fire o>>>

Hi Ciak,

This is not casual converstion to me. It is life and death. I do not say that because it sounds cute. It is not an over exageration either. This is also meant to be taken physically.

Hi,

First I would decipher what the words I used mean to me. This is a way of justifing my behaviors.
