  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

1. is jesus a creation, if so, why is he equal with god?
Ans. Lord Jesus Christ was born with the help of the complete Divine Spirit of God whereas all other human beings were born through normal human sexual intercourse. So, Jesus Christ is unique in the sense that He is both human and divine.

2. if jesus is equal with god, is that why we call him god?
Ans. Yes, If He is equal with God, then we ought to call Him God. God Himself came in human form as Jesus Christ and dwelt among us. Jesus said "I and my Father are one."

3. why couldn't jesus do anything except through the father?
Ans. Lord Jesus Christ was to live an example life as a human being so He did everything as per the will of the Heavenly Father. Since, He was human form He experienced all things as a human being just like us. And that is what we ought to do too (do the will of God) just like Jesus did. The Bible says "Though Jesus was equal to God, He made Himself of no reputation being found in human likeness". So, mysteriously and unexplainably Jesus Christ was both God and Human. Jesus Christ can understand all our problems because He lived in human form and is present as a praying Interpreter for us before God The Father in heaven. That is why we call Jesus Christ both our Lord and our God.

4. is jesus the father's spirit in a man, or is jesus a seperate spirit?
Ans. Jesus Christ had the Father's spirit in Him in completeness and hence He was the express image of God The Father on earth.

5. why did jesus say that god was greater than him?
Ans. Jesus Christ humbled Himself and spoke like that as He wanted to be an example human being to everyone.

6. did jesus hold back on using his power?
Ans. Yes, although He had all the power on heaven and earth yet He suffered all things for our sake and in order to obey the will of God The Father.

7. is jesus "the word of god", or is micheal, "the word of god"?
Ans. Jesus is "The Word of God". Jesus Christ is described as the "Word come in Flesh". Michael is one of the ArchAngels in Heaven.

8. who's voice did moses hear? god's? jesus'? or micheals?
Ans. Moses heard God's voice although Jesus Christ did exist even before Moses or Abraham.

9. god and jesus have always existed. why god AND jesus?
Ans. Yes, God The Father (called Yahweh) and God The Son (Yahshua or Jesus Christ) have always existed right from the Beginning. God The Father is the Father of all creation in the Universe including us and Jesus Christ (God The Son) came to the World as per God The Father's will and time in order to save human beings from sin and eternal death. Hence, Lord Jesus Christ has become as the Only Mediator for all human beings through whom we all may approach God The Father.

10. how does the trinity wind up being ONE.
Ans. The Sun (of our Solar System) can be used as a good example of the Holy Trinity. Out of the Sun we get Light and Warmth. We can see the Sun, we can see the Light and we can feel the Warmth. If God The Father is like the Sun, then Lord Jesus Christ is like the Light and God The Holy Spirit is like the Warmth. So, God The Father (also called Yahweh as per Hebrew Bible or Jehovah as per the English Bible) and God The Son (Yahshua The Messiah as per Hebrew Bible or Jesus Christ as per the English Bible) and God The Holy Spirit (Ruach as per Hebrew Bible) are all one.​

and id like to add that Jesus didnt just act like he didnt have power, he really debased himself, left his glory in heavon as it says and became poor as it says, the bible says he did not take on him the nature of angels but he took upon himself the nature of the seed of abraham.

this is why Jesus really truthfully stated that he could do nothing except through the father, and he knew nothing except that which the father had told him, and Jesus even said that no man knows the day or the hour of his coming, not even the SON OF MAN himself, except the father.

Jesus wasnt holding back, and he wasnt misleading people, he wasnt lying, he really took on the very nature of men, the seed of abraham.

the seed of abraham means a redeemed man, not just a carnal man.
he walked the earth as a redeemed man not subject to sinful flesh and sinful law, but he was very much the same as we are today when we are saved, he wasnt just trying to act like it.

or else he could not have truely been a qualifying INTERCESSOR for us who can relate, as the bible makes it clear... he is our intercessor, BECUASE AND ONLY BECUASE he became the very same as us and still won.

the bible says he bore our sorrows and griefs, he couldnt have if he was only trying act like we was as weak as we are. he really was.
