Re: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me

[Jeff Powers]

Well Lance, Considering I'm one of those "Dangerous Messianics" do ya really want my opinion on this? I am not going to get bogged down by 'the David' or Judy, et al. (I do not have the luxury of the time to waste on this) so I'll say my piece and bow out simply because they are waiting to pounce on anything I say. I will tell you that I see Yeshua- Jesus (take your pick)throughout the Older Testament.He was/is the son from before the beginning of time. YHVH-God (again, take your pick) was/is the Eternal Father.  I believe the pertinent scripture passages have already been stated and duly poo-poo'ed by those that reject this simple truth, so why bother again. By the by Lance you recently received a book that explains my feelings regarding this(but then I'm partial to the authors line of thinking anyway! And he dedicated it to my late wife!). In it you will find a much better explaination than I could ever give. Jeff   Life makes warriors of us all. To emerge the victors, we must arm ourselves with the most potent of weapons. That weapon is prayer. --Rebbe Nachman of Breslov ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 5:28 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me To me "I don't know' is beginning to mean that 'the David', Terry, Izzie, (don't know where the 'Slade contingent' shakes out on this) are not only NOT informed by historic Christianity but, are kinda makin' it up as they go along. After all, if one has a Bible, the Spirit of God and, a mind then, why bother with that which has gone before?   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clifton To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: January 03, 2005 19:52 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Why the Eternal Sonship of Christ Matters to Me [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 1/3/2005 4:35:46 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I honestly do not know.  I suppose that you could say He became a father when He created angels, and there is some justification for that in scripture.  You could also say He became a father when He created Adam and Eve.  The only certainty I see is that He became the Father of Jesus when His Holy Spirit impregnated Mary. Terry So you don't believe in the Eternal Fatherhood of God?  JD ======================================= What does I don't know mean to you?
