For God So Loved the World

[Weatherman2020]

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not die but shall have eternal life.”

Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who unlike his fellow Sanhedrin was having difficulty in reconciling the miracles of Jesus and wished to learn more rather than just immediately blow off Jesus as a blasphemous heretic that threatened their power.

The extremely powerful scene in “The Chosen” in which Nicodemus is deeply perplexed by and yet drawn to Jesus for reasons he doesn’t understand, meets with Him at night. Almost everyone striving to learn more can relate to this scene.

If Jesus is the son of God why do they call Jesus God?

Mr. Christ is God the Son.

Its a documented fact that Almighty God is 3 persons in a single Godhead.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

So Jesus was God and not his son..yeah, makes sense now.

No.

Jesus Christ IS God (not "was") and He is also the Son of God.

The Trinity is a difficult concept for heathen, I realize that. Back in the day, the tremendous St. Paddy explained it to you all using a 3 leaf clover.

Then God did not sacrifice his son, his only begotten son...Which was actually God, at least half God and half Mary..

Inability to read and comprehend. Some call them trinitarians

God ~ The Father. His role is to love and forgive His children and reign blessings upon them. He never takes His eyes off of you. And waits patiently to hear from you. He delights in you with singing.

God ~ The Son. His role was to become a human, and fulfill the Jewish Law for them. He had to be human to meet the legal requirements of Jewish Law as their kinsman redeemer. He had to be human, a relative of Adam,( thus the begots), and when He grafted Gentiles into the Jewish line, He redeemed us as well. And will be returning to prevent us from destroying all life on this planet. He defeated death, and will be dispatching Satan .

God ~ The Holy Spirit. His role is power. God speaks and the Spirit moves. He comforts, teaches, links between your spirit and The Father. He convicts souls to turn to God. You can have a small portion of that very Spirit if you ask, to dwell in you and with you, and you can either grow it with the word, or grieve it by ignoring it.

We cloned a sheep from Dolly. The exact sheep, with the exact DNA but 2 different bodies. God has 3.

You know what a fact is? No.

Yeah, even the scholars of Christianity can't explain. They lamely lean on "it's a mystery".

 

[Moonglow]

Yeah, even the scholars of Christianity can't explain. They lamely lean on "it's a mystery".

Can't question God.

 

[Mr Natural]

Doesn’t seem like God really thought this through.

 

[Moonglow]

It was okay for the Sunday paper.

Can't question God.

No, but you can question the sources of information — which isn't the Bible in this case because nowhere in the Bible does it say God is three in any sense.

1 John 5:7

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

 

[Uranus]

1 John 5:7

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Even if that exact text belonged actually in the Bible, which it 100% does not, it wouldn't be proof that all those three are God. Haven't you ever heard married couples say, "we are one"? Has it ever occured to you to think that they mean they are literally the same person?

How the most common translation of that verse goes is actually:

"For there are three that testify:
the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement."

What you're quoting is found in a minority of translations and doesn't make any sense. Is water or blood God?

Newton concludes: "If the ancient churches in debating and deciding the greatest mysteries of religion, knew nothing of these two texts, I understand not, why we should be so fond of them now the debates are over."[11] With minor exceptions, it was only in the nineteenth century that Bible translations appeared changing these passages. Modern versions of the Bible from the Critical Text usually omit the addition to 1 John 5:7, but some place it in a footnote, with a comment indicating that "it is not found in the earliest manuscripts"
