You can't seem to differentiate between being and acting. Jesus is being God always. He stopped acting as God during the period we know as the Incarnation. Your post of #92 even quoted my post where I said Jesus is God. Another poster tried to make the claim I was saying I didn't believe Jesus...

I suggest you read through the thread. :)

Are you kidding me? I gave you verse after verse showing how Jesus did nothing of Himself, hence His reliance on others ie. God the Father and Spirit. I have shown how all authority was given Him. God does not need to be given authority in anything. I directed you to post #85 which gave many...

I can, for the very reasons I have given you.

From where did He get the authority to forgive sins? Did He do it on His own authority? As God, He needed nobody's permission. As God, He has all authority and yet we are told Jesus was given authority. He did not act as God, He acted as a man filled with the Spirit of God under the authority of...

Nothing to apologise for. I know the feeling as I was in a similar position. :) It's all good. :D grace and peace.

You didn't read the scriptures in my last post evidently. You could also try reading the scriptures of post #85. John 5:19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also...

Unbelievable! :eek::oops: It's your unwillingness to hear what is being said that is offensive. I am not ashamed of the Gospel. I have said the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. I have said faith is a gift of God. I have said we are saved by grace through faith. Not good enough for...

I never said He wasn't God during the Incarnation, I said He did not function as God. He relied solely on the Father's authority in the power of the Holy Spirit. He functioned as a man on the authority of the Father, never His own authority which, He indeed had as God. Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus...

He functioned as a man in the power of the Holy Spirit. Everything he said and did was authorised by the Father.

It was my choice to believe. God doesn't do my thinking for me, He is the truth with which to think that's why He designed man with a mind and and a will. How many verses do you want that shows believing is our responsibility because there are just so many? Sigh, I do hope you aren't going to...

It's God's choice to save and He's chosen to save believers.

I'm tired of repeating myself and you ignoring what I say. Faith is a gift. I have said it repeatedly. Faith in God is the fruit of salvation, not believing. Believing is an act of our volition. We either believe the truth or we do not. Believing there is one God (Jam.2:19) is not believing the...

Paul saw a great light from heaven so bright it blinded him. Jesus is the light of the world. I know of others who have testified to seeing the Risen Christ. Just because he doesn't appear in the same manner as His pre-Ascension appearances doesn't mean He has not appeared. In fact, seeing as He...

Because that is the benchmark God set. "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved".

You still don't seem to get what I'm saying. I am not saved because I believe. I am saved because the benchmark God set was to save believers. I could sit here and believe God's word is true till the cows come home, but if it was not His will to save those who are believing, then I would sit...

Honestly how does your mind drift off into areas that are not even remotely mentioned? When did Christ appear to Paul, before or after the Ascension? Your argument that Christ has been in heaven since the Ascension as if somehow this limits what He can and cannot do is ridiculous. He is the...

I believe the sun will rise tomorrow. How powerful must I be to make that happen! ;) :rolleyes: :D

You don't respond with faith, you receive faith when you believe. You simply don't get it.

You don't hear a word I say only what you want to hear. So be it. It is one of the six ways of communication, I get that but that doesn't mean I have to put up with it. Have a nice day. :)
