52. Did Jesus ever say, "I and my Father are one?" Yes. John 10:30.

56. Can Trinitarians show that three divine persons were present when Jesus was baptized by John? Absolutely not. The one, omnipresent God used three simultaneous manifestations. Only one divine person was present--Jesus Christ the Lord.

57. Then what were the other two of whom Trinitarians speak? One was a voice from heaven; the other was the Spirit of God in the form of a dove. Matthew 3:16-17.

58. What did the voice say at Jesus' baptism? "Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Mark 1:11. As the Son of God, Jesus was the one God incarnate.

59. Does the Bible say that God shed His blood and that God laid down His life for us? Yes. Acts 20:28; I John 3:16. God was able to do this because He had taken upon Himself a human body.

60. The Bible says that God is coming back with all his saints (Zechariah 14:5) and also that Jesus is coming back with all his saints (I Thessalonians 3:13). Are two coming back? No. Only one is coming back--our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Titus 2:13.

However, that proves nothing. The bible can say anything you want it to say.

Actually it does a very good job of proving how much the Bible contradicts itself.

Please explain in detail. Then repost it about 3 times. 😂

Mainly it's constant confusion about who Jesus is in relation to God.

😆 What's that? You can't prove anything without a big block of text (big blue letters work the best).

You're either confused or on the wrong path, John Constantine could have known the bible better than most Pastors but so does Satan... this does not mean that they in any way are Christians, just tools set up to be stumbling blocks as you appear to be.

The bible says that there are those that will wrestle against the scriptures to their own destruction. It also speaks of how an Angel of darkness can appear as an Angel of light. I say to you this... there is only one truth, whatever path you are on, I just hope for your sake that you don't know any better.

Whatsoever we try to teach whether it is good or ill, we will be held accountable for, so you should be very careful about what you tell the sheep.

I will repost as often as it takes, because you are deviating from the original posters subject, by bringing up this nonsense, it's hard to kick up against the pricks.

If for some reason it could be proved, would you consider the evidence that Jesus is not a savior? Or would you consider it that Satan is talking to you.

You are are indicative of many people that see themselves as knowledgeable in the concepts of your beliefs without a measure of self reliance of what is available to you to see your belief in its whole context. You spew out verse after verse stating that it is truth. It is like the forest for the trees seeing that you regurgitate what is heard by your ears that you cannot fathom that what you hear might be incorrect. In non informed opinions comes the parrot based statement of the "Bible is true, and Jesus is the only way."

If for some reason it could be proved, would you consider the evidence that Jesus is not a savior? Or would you consider it that Satan is talking to you.

So you know what you are talking about huh? What is the subject of this thread??? Wait let me tell you "Is Jesus and God one, and the same?". Did I get that part right?

Listen if I want to know about the veins in the human body, I'll consult a vascular Surgeon, or read a book about vascularity. If i want to know what's wrong with my car I'll consult a mechanic. If I want to know who Christ is I'll consult the bible or a Pastor, perhaps you should do the same.

Then again perhaps you choose to lean on your own understanding. There is one truth, do as you please. If you believe that John Constantine wrote the bible then that is your right. Just don't go telling me that I am wrong when you most likely chose to not to delve into what I posted to be 60 plus reasons why Jesus and God are one, and the same.

You need to be arguing with the bible, because everything that you are trying to go against me on, aren't even my words to begin with, hence like I said before, it's hard to kick up against the pricks. Can I say that what is written in the bible is 100 percent true? There is only one truth.

Where do you stand? I know where I do. 😬

Oh and try not to pretend to know me, or my character.

Okay, I'll simplify it for you. Jesus is no more god than we are. So, are we also one with god? If you believe that Jesus is God in a sense that he can save you from your sins, then yes you are following the founder of Christianity. The same group that copied and pasted the good book together.

On a side note: The Jews certainly would know who god was and who Jesus was since they are the authors of the Bible. The Jews were waiting for their Messiah and they saw the Jesus didn't fit the bill. When they made that decision, they were out casted by the New religion. They were demonized and ousted as authorities of their OWN BOOK, and still are today.

👆 Bam!

A Pastor? He'll consult a Pastor???? 😂 🤣

If he does that then he is consulting a doctrine specialist, not a Bible specialist..

Good point! They are all experts at it, but with different variations depending on what denomination.
