Jesus didn't "come out of God". Rather, Jesus is and always was God.

The confusion stems from the fact that we humans are distinct from each other, so we find it difficult to comprehend God being one, yet there being three who are God.
That is not hard for me because I know God is spirit and does not conform to our limitations as humans.

Jesus is the second most important figure in the Bible, behind GOD then the Spirit.....suppose Lucifer should get a mention as well.
Jesus wasn't mentioned at creation but the spirit was...why was that?
simple logic....because GOD was there, ......and Jesus wasn't born, because Mary hadn't been born to give birth to him
when a man lays with a woman, he gives a piece of himself, the egg gets fertilised, and a son is born.
the same thing happened to Christ, but his father is GOD, so he got a lot more than we do, he is in essence GOD himself
Boo Satan --- he is not as important as the Apostles and Saints followed by the Angels. Satan belongs in the hole of an outhouse.

These are not words of a true Christian....and I detect the Koran coming through, ...for those who read it, Jesus is not a name nor is he the Messiah, but a man prophet...instead they put Muhammad,....a man who was born in the province of the small tribe that maintains the shrines at Mecca or that Holy place they pilgrimage to. a few hundred years later he is a God, always has been always will be... is that you....why? your against the name of Jesus, but push the Arabic/Muslim names
PLEASE read the OLD testament again and see how many times the name Jesus pops up.
THEN read the NEW testament and see how many times Jesus's name is mentioned...please log down the numbers in both cases. your proof will be in your numbers...let's stick with KJV

the name we are discussing is JESUS, not Joshua...and it does not say that Jesus name is Joshua,..the Lamb, the rock, the Messiah.. but not Joshua.....Jesus may be translated to Joshua in a language sense but...in the Bible JESUS is JESUS...and we are best to keep it that way or we will get lost in our own understanding... we can't let what ever else we read, co mingle with the Bible, it waters down the power.
We let what we read increase our knowledge from the Bible, sometimes we read them to disprove the Bible, but they must increase our knowledge, not confuse it

There is no trinity and the Bible says but to us there is but one God the Father, and one God the Father who is in all, and through all, and above all.

And the Son was made of the seed of David according to the flesh, and He was made of a woman, made under the law.

And the Son shall be called the everlasting Father, and Jesus said he who has seen Him has seen the Father.

And Jesus said when He resurrects to heaven to not ask Him anything, but in another passage of scripture Jesus said ask Him and He will do it.

the GOD head is a trinity,...Father, Son, Holy Spirit....3...and yes all are the Father...what's your point it's just another name for the GOD head

For me it's Happy Sabbath everyone....
just want to go over the evidence so far

GOD was in the beginning,... no proof....Jesus was there as a separate entity...
the Spirit was there helping GOD to create...
GOD spoke to prophets, and man through his angels, and dreams...through out the old testament
there is no mention of the name of Jesus...or GOD's own son in the old testament..
instead, in the old testament they refer to the coming of the King, Messiah, lion, lamb, rock....& saviour, (I don't think he is even referred to as the son)
It's not til the new testament when the angel spoke to Mary, he is mentioned..

I believe Jesus was the spirit of GOD, waiting until the father put forth his spirit into Mary.
GOD knew that he would have to give up his spirit as a sacrifice, before he created, that spirit is called Emmanuel
JOHN 1:1...."In the beginning WAS the word, and the word WAS with GOD, & the word WAS GOD....Jesus IS the WORD & WAS...IN GOD
OR................"In the beginning IS the word, and the word IS with GOD, & the word IS GOD...

WE all posses the capacity be children of GOD...we just have to let the potter work the clay.
when we say we have FAITH, do we hold GOD above our husband or wife, do we hold GOD above our children, do we hold GOD above our job's, our wealth, our possession's....DO we TRUST GOD enough to let him guide and direct our lives, in all that we do & say, we do it in the name of the father....that is the FAITH he ask of us all....not all of us will have THAT faith

I- AM,...WILL...DO...Love GOD....May he bless us all...with all we require...to a life full of LOVE, PEACE, & HARMONY...GODbless

THE PREEXISTENCE OF THE SON


But of the Son He says. . . . “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Your hands. . . .” (Heb. 1:8, 10)[1]

The preexistence and deity of the distinct person of the Son, Jesus Christ, has been a main theme in Christian education as well as the basis of many hymns of the Christian faith. The preexistence of the Son has been a laser light in early Christian Councils and resulting creedal documents. That Christ preexisted with the Father and the Holy Spirit is the very foundation of historic biblical Christianity. Christ Jesus clearly affirmed the magnificent truth of both His deity and preexistence many times in His earthly life (e.g., Matt. 8:26; 12:6, 18; Mark 14:61-62; John 2:19; 3:13; 5:17-18; 6:35-40 [esp. v. 38]; 8:24, 58 et al; 10:28-30; 16:28; Rev. 1:8, 17; 22:13). In addition, according to various passages in the NT, the preincarnate Christ is identified as the YHWH of the OT in many places.[2]

...

[2] For example, compare Psalm 102:25-27 with Hebrews 1:10-12; Isaiah 6:1, 3, 10 with John 12:39-41 (thus, Isa. 6:8); Isaiah 8:12-13 with 1 Peter 3:14-15; Isaiah 45:23 with Philippians 2:10-11; Joel 2:32 with Romans 10:13 and many more (cf. also Dan. 7:9-14; Isa. 9:6; Micah 5:2). Aside from the NT affirmation, which identifies Christ as the YHWH of many OT passages, the OT identifies the Angel of the Lord as YHWH (e.g., Gen. 16:10-11; 19:24; Exod. 3:6, 14; Judges 6:11-24; 13:16, 21 et al.).

Hebrews 1:8-9
But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A [f]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”


Psalm 45:6-7
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
