Hello
Jesus said that his words came directly from God. And he didn’t just say it once:
“My teaching is not mine but his who sent me.” (John 7:16)
“…the one who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.” (John 8:26)
“The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his work.” (John 14:10)
“…the word you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.” (John 14:24)
“for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.” (John 12:49-50)
(While praying) “For I gave them (the disciples) the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.” (John 17:8)
Jesus said that his words are spirit and life…
“It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” (John 6:63)
…and that his words will be around for ever…
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33)
… and that the Holy Spirit would remind his disciples of the things he had said,
“the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.” (John 14:26)
May our loving Father speak to us through the words of his beloved son, Jesus.

2 Things… How can the whole Bible be True? The 2 paths as Jesus decribes in Matt 7:13-14. Below are verses I never heard in church, but I think we should be screaming from the roof tops. Jesus says we have to be faithful in another man’s gospel before we are given the Real Truth. So, maybe this means it is a progression? Jesus said this happens over many lifetimes, as he said John the Baptist was Elijah – Matt 11:12-15
“If therefore ye have not been faithful in the UNRIGHTEOUS MAMMON, who will commit to your trust the TRUE RICHES? And if you have not been faithful in that WHICH IS ANOTHER MAN’S, who will give you that WHICH IS YOUR OWN?” Luke 16:11-12
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words THAT I SPEAK unto you, they are spirit, and THEY ARE LIFE. But there are some of you that believe not…”
John 6:63-64

Tell me thing about the world of God

Hello Isaac
I’m not sure what you are asking. Are you asking for more information about the Word of God? If so, you might find the articles in the section “Our Bibles” helfpul. I want to help. Maybe someone else could help you find the right words for your question. I pray that our loving heavenly Father will bless you and give you peace as you walk with him.

I believe that it’s time that we get out of our own way with the truth. In this article it is proven soundly that Jesus isn’t God. By his own admission he was sent by God. His words were not his own but from God. He calls him God twice. He never said that he was God. Him saying before Abraham I am is not saying that he is God. It saying as clear as day that he is here now just as he was there before Abraham. Why do we have to twist what he said? The Hebrew leaders at the time were mad because he said that he was the son of God and that God gave him all authority. That was exposing them in their lies. Even on trial they never said he was God. On every instance they asked was he the son of God. He replied you said it. There is not one shred of evidence of Jesus claiming to be God. Just like women are called by there husbands name, just like children called by their fathers name, they are their husbands and father’s. They are one even though they are different beings. There is one church made of many independently functioning body’s. The church in Galatia and Corinth was indeed the same church. If you saw the church in Galatia even if you never laid eyes on the church in Corinth, you have seen it. Saying that doesn’t make both of those churches the same member of the body. Each individual officer calls themselves the police. We know that if two officers come to your rescue in the name of the police, they are not the same person. They are acting as one with on goal. They even go by the same name police. If you say hey officer they will both turn to answer you. Please turn from the lies of the evil one who himself addressed both God and Jesus as separate beings during the temptation in the wilderness. It is a sin to add or take away from the word. A curse will be on those who teach something different than what Jesus taught. He only taught that he was sent by his father God never that he himself was God. I humbly ask you to leave ok at the truth that you wrote with your own hands and how they contradict the lie that you proclaim. I say this in love and respect. Unless Jesus is a liar, he isn’t God. He said no man can get to God but by him. He didn’t say no man can get to me, but by me. The bible says that there is one who intercedes between man and God. If Jesus is God he can’t be between man and God. That would make the bible wrong.
Blue Collar Believer says
Jesus is the only begotten son of God and had his own separate free will (i.e., Garden of Gethsemane prayers). Jesus came in the flesh because a spirit being cannot be crucified and shed blood. There is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood. I John 4 clearly shoes that those who preach that Jesus did NOT come in the flesh are false prophets and not from God our Father.
Once again, a spirit being cannot be killed and then shed blood to atone anyone’s sins. Jesus was a man, the 2nd Adam, the son of man and the son of God both. He was the Ideal Man as shown by the Gospel of Luke.
John-William says
The shedding of blood has nothing to do with the forgiveness of sins, this is pure pagan. The almighty Creator of all hates sacrifices of any kinds, these are all of ancient primitive pagan practice. Read Isaiah 1: 11-20, Jer. 7: 22-23.
Our Creator seeks repentance, so he can “freely” forgive . . . by His mercy. Read Micah 6: 6-8.
John-William says
You are correct. Jesus (who’s real name is Yahshua) is not G-d (Yahweh). Yahshua was “A” son of Yahweh. There are many sons of Yahweh, the Father, (the Almighty). All that do the will of the Father (Yahweh) are brothers and sisters of Yahshu, Matt. 12: 50, therefore if Yahshua was a son of Yahweh so are all those who are his brothers and sisters as well.

As Simon Peter said “Lord to who will we go? You have the words of eternal life.
Paul says
Rational version, in agreement. If God is as they say, Love and Truth, and life in all things is from The Father. Then when Jesus, with all of his knowledge of the scriptures and laws and in the midst of the most violently oppressive regime ever known ,is filled with an absolute certainty as to the real and different path to peace, love and truth, then where else would such clarity and certainty come from other than the very father source of life , God of truth and love. ? I hold lightly to the context but accept the teaching completely, not because of any imposed authority but because ultimately it makes sense. ” for those who have ears to hear” …for there speaks the voice of the true master.

John 15:7 | John 15:3 | Matthew 24:35 | John 6:63 | Mark 13:30 | Luke 21:33. | John 12:47-50 | John 6:63
Many accuse us of being ‘red-letter’ Christians, and reject us. This is not a popular subject. But Jesus wasn’t very popular to the religious people to begin with. But considering, it was the religious people who killed Him.
John 14:26
