    made in His image

    Yet throughout the Old Testament, Yahweh appears as a man. For example in Judges 13, when Manoah and his wife talk to a "man", yet they realise at the end exactly who it was: God. Actually it's the preincarnate Christ, which is why they didn't die (compared to Exodus 33:20). The incarnation...

    Omnidoctrines

    1 - "Aren't we, by necessity talking of all three, since the three are one?" In a sense yes, but they aren't one in that they're necessarily in the same place. They're one in the sense of unity. In Deuteronomy 4:6, where it says "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one", what does it...

    Omnidoctrines

    Can you explain in what way God is limited by the flesh? What do you make of Genesis 18 where Yahweh eats with Abraham? Where in the Bible are we told about the "true essence of God"? As far as I can see, the "true essence of God" is that he is Father, Son and Holy Spirit in loving unity. I...

I believe that saying that God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent is thoroughly UNbiblical, and actually denies...

    Impossible questions

    1 Corinthians 2:16 says: "But we have the mind of Christ". What is the whole of 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 about unless it's saying that we DO understand the deep things of God? The Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God, and we have the Spirit, and therefore know these things (verses 10 and...

    Do Children Go to Heaven?

    Is Jesus a piece of information, or a person to be trusted? What's all this talk about someone not being able to trust Jesus until they've reached an age when they can understand sin, the cross, and so on? One might as well say that a child can't love and trust his own mother until he's...
