When all of us are in the presence of Jesus and every knee is bowed to Him some day, and all of us are in His presence, I would like to ask God the Father, in the Name of God the Son, with the help of God the Spirit to permit me to see Jesus' reaction when He is told FACE-TO-FACE like some on these forum attest:

'YOU ARE NOT GOD.'

'YOU'RE JUST A MAN.'

'YOU HAVE A GOD.'

'NO, YOUR WORD DOES NOT SAY THAT YOU ARE GOD. IT ONLY SAYS YOU ARE AN IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE.'

'YOUR WORD ONLY SAYS THAT YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD, THEREFORE, YOU ARE NOT GOD.'

'THERE IS NOT ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT SAID FOR ME TO TALK TO YOU.'

'JESUS IS NOT THE ALMIGHTY.'


I pray that God will be as merciful then, as He is merciful to all of us now.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see though, what God the Son says?

Why add or take away from Gods word?

We would say that it is you who do just that!

John wrote his epistle to give Christ's people the confidence to petition Jesus in prayer.

"13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that if we ask anything according to HE will, HE hears us. 15 And if we know that HE hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of HIM."


Believing in the name of the Son of God (vs. 13) expresses itself in the confidence to petition HIM in prayer expecting that HE will grant your petition if your petition is in accordance with HIS will.

Those who don't talk to Jesus do not believe in His name (authority). To not believe in His name (authority) is to be damned. So those who do not talk to Jesus don't need to think about what they will say to Him when they get there because they won't get there.

They will NEVER see Him!

I agree. It was only that as I was re-reading some posts a deep sadness came over me to think that people who say they are Christians could say such hurtful things of Christ .

You made that up. Both in doctrine and traditions, we still observe quite a bit in common and only (10% not). It is you that rejects 95%. That's all you.

Let's pray that it is because he hears something that touches his spirit, if not his mind and heart yet, and that God will be merciful and make what his spirit hears reach up to his mind and heart.

You can say I add to Gods word but it is I who quotes Gods word and it is you who adds to it.

Is that your only answer to the fact that you add to Gods word to describe Jesus and how God raised up a man in His own image.


First you lie about what I believe then you will not answer the charge that you add to bible words.

It is obvious that you have never seen Christ or you would know that the bible description of Him is true and sufficent.

Shame upon you.

Joh 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.



How can you give the same honour to the Son as you give the Father, when Jesus and Moses say that only the LORD GOD shall be worshipped?

We honor our Father by doing what He has said in obeying His Son in all things that He says to us to do.

Both Moses and Jesus told us what the Father expects of us.

The example is set in the scriptures---

Gen 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
Gen 41:39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
Gen 41:40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.


You ask me a question and I answered you but you will not give an answer to your adding words to Gods word to describe Jesus and the account God has given of His son.

The Bible does not mention incarnation of a God into human form through Mary, thus producing a God/man.

The Bible does not speak of a pre-trib rapture, or that Gods people are the Jews.

You have wasted your time. God will not bless your lies, no matter how dignified or knowledgable you like to appear before men.

I assume it refers to the God Jesus has. The only God.





Psalm 1[/color] and Job 28:28

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Joh 4:23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

I love the God of my Lord Jesus Christ
