1. Is it possible to get a straight
answer, here? Do you believe that Christ was both Son and Almighty
God at the same time, here on earth -- a simple yes or no is what
I am looking for.
No. He took upon Himself a body
of flesh and as the "only begotten" son he walked this earth. As
the second Adam He represented God the
Father.
2. Are you aware that the
Apostle John made these statements about Christ in John 1:1-18????
Apparently you do not think Christ is word, life and light? I mean, why
in the name of reason would you disagree with that? Is Christ word,
life and light? Yes or no.
Yes.
Let me ask you
JD, what exactly does the word "Christ" mean (in your own
words)?
3.
So, you deny that Jesus is the one and only
Son of God ?? Yes or no.
Yes.
My belief is that Jesus is the
"only begotten" which is an important distinction because God has many
sons.
4.
Tell me what John 1:14
is talking about, then.
John and the other disciples
beheld Him after the resurrection and before the ascension for 50 days in a
new and glorified body
5. Is the "Word" a description of His
divinity? In other words, is being The Word tantamount to saying
that He was God? Yes or no.
Yes
John 1:1 says "and the Word was God" However
he was not God the Father was
he?
6.
I am talking
about the eternal Fatherhood of God - that specific concept.
Also, there is absolutely no rule in scripture that tells us tht scripture is
of no regard unless a thing is stated at least twice. Are you
telling me tht you believe that if God only says is once, God is
speaking here, that you are required to pay Him heed until He gets
around to stating it a second time?????
No
I am saying that it is possible to
misunderstand and wrest scripture to our own destruction and that knowing who
Jesus is is tantamount to walking with Him because His sheep hear His
voice. It is folly to make a doctrine out of one
scripture.

I really do not care about your analysis
of their statements, Judy. Christ Himself agreed with their
premise. Do you deny that "Son of God" as a claim makes Christ
equal to "God?" Yes or
no.
No
As the son he
declared that the Father is greater than he (see John
14:28)
8.
Do you believe that in
Christ, John and others behold the glory of .......God? Yes
or no.
Not the way I
think you mean
JD
My belief is that
they beheld the glory of God in him after the resurrection and before the
ascension but that it was not apparent other than in the words he spoke before
that time.
9.
Judy -- do you
think verse 46 is a part of the same context as that of verse 44?
Yes or no? (John
5:44)
No not in your
Bible
John 5:44-46 is
talking about ppl who are honoring themselves and each other and don't seek
the honor that comes from God alone. You know what they are talking
about JD - you see it in church circles all the
time.
