Have you ever observed the interaction between goats and sheep on a farm.

When they are corralled together, the goats will dominate the sheep = so it is in christianity today
that is how leaven and its pollution worketh .
At first they add but a percent of the stink into the waters
and by golly once those folks sip of that
it wont be long before its two percent , three , and on and on it goes .
CAUSE ERROR only begets ERROR . WHILE TRUTH BEGETS ONLY TRUTH .

@amigo de christo
Those weak Christians who let the goats dominate them need to repent. Ask the Lord for utterance and boldness. If they can’t do it, they have no excuse being unequally yoked. They are both in danger of the fires of Hell.

EVERY WORD of GOD BE TRUTH , from page one to page last in that bible . and while i know that will tick folks off
Pardner TRUE IT IS . ANd a whole lot of them scrips POINT and POINTED RIGHT TO THE COMING MESSIAH himself .
OF whom many now reject , and when i say many and i say reject , I ALREADY KNOW the false religoins reject HIM
THE MANY i speak of , ARE WITHIN CHRISTENDOME ITSELF . david , ITS WORSE than you realize .
I know you know the truth my friend , but its worse than even you might realize . MANY are under THAT INFLUENCE david .
and many have already bought even the lie that the influence leads them too .
What we gots to do is HELP THIS people , exhort one another and LET GOD BE TRUE but every man a liar .
HIS WORDS BE TRUTH and no lie is of the truth .
ITS WORSE than you realize
We know, and it is why my wife and i cannot find a fellowship that is not tainted by men

To a sheep fifty fifty is not good enought
even sixty forty is not good enough
not even seventy thirty
eighty twenty
ninety and ten
ninety nine and one . SHEEP DONT SIP from polluted waters .
THEY SIP FROM ONE HUNDRED PERCENT TRUTH OF GODS HOLY WORDS .
They can whiff polluted water , no matter how small the mixture is .
TRUTH IS a lambs meat , mixture is a goats meat .
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

11The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

13Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

But JESUS answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

I find these scriptures that speak about Jesus Christ as having come in the flesh to be interesting.
Coming in the flesh from where? Denying this fact is the spirit of the Antichrist.

1 John 4:2-3 NKJV
By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3 and every spirit that does not confess [a]that Jesus [b]Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.
And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

[
Jesus said several times He came from the Father, He came down from Heaven to Earth

John 8
22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”

23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

And by Him saying 'I am not of this world' shows His origin is not of man, His origin is from heaven. So then He came down to earth from God.

John 5
30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

The Fourfold Witness​

31 “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not [a]true. 32 There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

John 16

25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. 28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29 His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! 30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his [e]own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [f]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

it's nothing like Christ having flesh and blood body in heaven.
It is that God the Father sent Christ to earth on a mission for a purpose, God is a spirit. Since the 'children of God' have flesh and blood, then God had to also be made to have a flesh and blood body like them. Therefore, Christ even though being in the form of God in heaven in glory together with the Father God, taking on flesh, was a humbling experience.

Jesus definitely was made like a man, God the Father gave Him a body, so the man side of Him God created, and Christ was born of Mary, but HE, Christ is the only begotten of the Father, there is only ONE virgin birth. But His glorious Spirit side remained uncreated.
When the body is created, for men, then the spirit of a man is also created.
But with the body God the Father gives Christ, His own Spirit is incarnated, infused into the fleshly body God gave Himself.

Fun stuff!


Hebrews 2

5 For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. 6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:

“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him?
7 You have made him [d]a little lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
[e]And set him over the works of Your hands.
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”

For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made [f]a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

Bringing Many Sons to Glory​

10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both He who [g]sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:

“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
13 And again:

“I will put My trust in Him.”
And again:

“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same
, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not [h]give aid to angels, but He does [i]give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being [j]tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

The people whom Christ is the merciful, and faithful High Priest of, is of course 'the children whom God has given Me.

John 6

26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”

29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”

32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”

35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will [f]by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Did ANYONE In Scripture (Including Jesus), Claim Jesus IS God?

Yes? Please offer Scriptural Quote.

Glory to God,
Taken
It depends on what you mean by "Is". Trinitarian doctrine falsely claims that Jesus and the Father are numerically identical -- consubstantialem. Instead, the Bible teaches that Jesus and the Father are representationally identical as Paul the Apostle argues. Jesus is the image of God.
