John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

It doesn't mean anything to me. Just curious, I know this question was asked previously today but the question didn't solicit opinions from non-Christians. This question does not solicit opinions from Christians, they should go to that other question for them to answer with their opinion. Since we are now dividing up who can answer an opinion about a Bible verse, I'm just following the pattern set by the other person.

Hint: This isn't a question about the Bible verse now is it?

Everyone is scared of death. It is not any easy subject to bring up. Tell me is death involved in your life? Others will answer this question and you can find out how they handle it. This will be another tough question where the points do not matter. I'll chose one that has the best answer, but I know everyone's answer will be the best answer. Death. Do you work with it? How do you feel about it? Have you ever seen someone shot? Did you ever have a gun placed to your head? How do you deal with death in the military? Answer this question about death in your own way.........

Are Jesus and God Co-Equal?

According to the Scriptures, they clearly are NOT equal. In every case, where God and Jesus are referred to in one context, Jesus is subordinate, and the Father is superior. Here are a handful of the many texts on this issue:

"Why callest thou me good? None is good, save one, that is, God." (Luke 18:19)
"My Father is Greater than I" (John 14:28)
"The Head of Christ is God" (1 Corinthians 11:3)
"[Jesus] sat down on the right hand of God" (Hebrews 10:12)
"Then shall the Son also himself be subject ... that God may be all in all" (1 Corinthians 15:28)

Perhaps most telling of all is that Jesus recognizes God as his own God -- his superior, to whom he renders adoration, worship and praise (Matthew 27:46, John 20:17, Ephesians 1:17, Revelation1:6). No scripture says Jesus is co-equal!


(3) Are Jesus and God Co-Eternal?

In the sense that both will always exist, yes. But that is true of angels and saints and all the obedient.The intent of Co-Eternal is that they always existed eternally from ages past, neither preceding the other. This is not true of Jesus. The Scriptures affirm that Jesus was "the beginning of the Creation of God" (Revelation 3:14), and the "firstborn of every creature" (Colossians 1:15). Therefore he had a beginning. There was a time before that when God was alone. Proverbs 8:22 says of Jesus, "The LORD created me the first of his works long ago, before all else that he made. I was formed in earliest times, at the beginning, before earth itself" (Proverbs 8:22, 23, NRSV). No scripture says Jesus was co-eternal!


(4) Is the Holy Spirit a Person?

Ordinarily there would be no question about this. The holy Spirit of God anointed Jesus at Jordan, who received it not "by measure" (John 3:34). It is "poured out" and "shed" on others (Acts 10:45,Acts 2:17,33, Joel 2:28, Zechariah 12:10). Persons are not "poured," "shed" or "measured," but the spirit, power and influence of God is properly described this way.

The holy Spirit of God is variously described in Scripture as the spirit of Truth, Holiness, Life, Faith, Wisdom, Grace, and Glory. The Scripts also speak of an opposite spirit of Jealousy, Judgment, Burning, Heaviness, Whoredoms, Infirmity, Divination, Bondage, Slumber, Fear, Antichrist and Error. Do we suppose these are persons?

The Scriptures speak of the spirit of Jacob, Elijah, Tiglath-Pilesser, the Philistines, Cyrus, Princes, the Medes, Zerubbabel, and Joshua. Are these spirits all persons?

Why, then, would any suppose the "holy Spirit of God" (Ephesians 4:30) to be a separate being? Actually no one would (and no one did) until the time mysteries and philosophies began to enter Christian dogma. (More of that later.) But today, centuries later, some suppose a support for the personhood of the holy Spirit because of the pronouns used for it in the New Testament. For example, "When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth ..." (John 16:13). And of the Comforter Jesus said "I will send him unto you" (verse 7). It sounds like a person because of the pronouns "he" and "him."

But a little examination into the Greek explains the issue. When "comforter" is meant the pronoun is masculine, but when "spirit" is intended the pronoun is neuter. Literally it could be translated "it will guide you ..." It is simply a matter of grammar, not of personality. The Greek word for"comforter" is a masculine noun, and that for "spirit" is a neuter noun. Therefore the pronouns necessarily follow the gender of the noun. (Actually the genders in verse 13 are supplied by the Greek verbs rather than by explicit pronouns, but you get the idea.) No scripture says the holy Spirit of God is a person!

After studying Calvinism for a while, and then comparing it to other Christian faithsI have a question:

Calvinists believe in predestination: in other words, God has already planned out whether or not you are going to hell, despite what you've done during your life time.

Then most of the other sects in Christianity believe that God has given everyone free will, that it is your job to decide what's going to happen after death.

So...how to word this...how do you all feel on predestination? Some of my friends say it's completely stupid, that God has given them the choice to do what they want, but then they also say that God is all-knowing, and that he can see how things are going to be laid out. If he knows how it's going to happen, isn't that the same as predestination? How can it be free will if God KNOWS what's going to happen to you?

Or...are my Christian friends just a little confused with free will and God's knowledge? Just wondering.

I have never been diagnosed with a mental illness (did see psychologist for a while and told them all this stuff), but sometimes I hallucinate, although I know when something is real or not, occasionally I hear voices, not saying anything clear, just mumbling, and sometimes I feel wierd, like I am out of my body and seperate from the rest of the world, or in a kind of waking dream. Is it possible these are spiritual experiences? This has happened since I was a child, when I used to see auras (doesn't really happen now) and had other wierd experiences. I am really confused as to whether this is something significant.
