Look into Arianism, Sabellianism, and Monarchianism. But arguments carried on for several more centuries until it was finally settled. This is the part of Christianity that isn't in the Bible, but form the very canons of our religion. |

Stop judging that you may not be judged; 2for with the judgment you are judging, you will be judged, and with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you. 3Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye but do not notice the rafter in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ when look! a rafter is in your own eye? 5Hypocrite!

Jesus, my Lord and Personal Savior, has more power in his name than any weapon ever forged by man. Period. This is the true doctrine of Peace through Strength. Yes and when God's time of grace expires Jesus power will be revealed in the purification; The seventh angel blew his trumpet. And there were loud voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.” 16And the 24 elders who were seated before God on their thrones fell upon their faces and worshipped God, 17saying: “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king. 18But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” Rv11:15 Last Edited by DGN on 04/16/2022 01:04 PM |

(OP) User ID: 81660600 United States 04/16/2022 02:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why Is Jesus Called the Son of God? The Bible’s answer The Bible often calls Jesus “the Son of God.” (John 1:49) The expression “Son of God” acknowledges that God is the Creator, or Source, of all life, including that of Jesus. (Psalm 36:9; Revelation 4:11) The Bible does not teach that God literally fathered a child in the same way that humans produce children. The Bible also calls the angels “sons of the true God.” (Job 1:6) And the Bible says that the first human, Adam, was a “son of God.” (Luke 3:38) However, because Jesus was God’s first creation and the only one created directly by him, the Bible describes Jesus as the foremost Son of God. Did Jesus live in heaven before he was born on earth? What did Jesus do before he came to the earth? |

While on earth, Jesus fulfilled numerous prophecies about “Messiah the Leader,” the one who would be the “Savior of the world.” (Daniel 9:25; 1 John 4:14) And even after his death, Jesus continued to fulfill Messianic prophecies.—Psalm 110:1; Acts 2:34-36. What is the meaning of “Messiah”? Could more than one person fulfill the Messianic prophecies? Could the Messiah appear in the future? How many Messianic prophecies are there in the Bible?
