The holy Trinity describes the character of the Lord as the "three-in-one": the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Embracing the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior as a corporeal being is a natural extension of the triumverate character of our creator as the Bible teaches it to us.<br /><br />Jesus is Lord. You're right. There is only one God. - LachenLachennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10617247.post-79045782525559087202009-06-16T19:13:04.129-07:002009-06-16T19:13:04.129-07:00There is only one G-d.
Ezekiel 37:23 Neither sha...There is only one G-d.<br /><br /> Ezekiel 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their G-d. [24] And David My servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. (KJV)<br /><br />Christians and Jews agree that chapter 37 of Ezekiel is messianic. The object of verse 24 of Ezekiel 37 is the Messiah, and it is clear that the Messiah is G-d’s servant, and not G-d Himself. <br /><br />Exodus 20:2 I [am] the LORD thy G-d, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. [3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (KJV)<br /><br />Contemplate the importance of this commandment for a moment. "No other gods before Him." Christians will contend that Jesus IS G-d, claiming they don't have any other gods before Him.<br /><br />However as noted in the N.T., it is plain to see that not only was Jesus separate from G-d, but he was NOT G-d. What do we have if we pray to Jesus? We have polytheism<br /><br />G-d is infinite, and incorporeal. To take on physical form would limit the limitless, and He would not take on physical form because that might have led the Israelites to idolatry.Tidbits of Torahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01064258824492926896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10617247.post-55295001687156888232007-08-14T03:54:00.000-07:002007-08-14T03:54:00.000-07:00What if living right had no eternal rewards...woul...What if living right had no eternal rewards...would you live badly otherwise?<BR/><BR/>That one has always gotten me.<BR/><BR/>Thank God all it really takes is that leap of faith to believe and the little prayer of faith.<BR/><BR/>as the song says: It all comes down to a man dying on a cross, saving the world, rising from the dead, doing what he said he would do.MommaRiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10688696804599521537noreply@blogger.com
