John 1:15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’”

John 1:16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

More Questions:
2) Why the contrast between the “law” (Moses) and “grace and truth” (Jesus Christ)?
3) Why is it said that the law was “given” through Moses, but grace and truth “came” through Jesus Christ?
4) If Jesus was and is God, what does it mean that Jesus Christ “has declared” God?

It seems Noahic grace was a tad partial, saving some only.
The saving grace of JC seems to be salvation of the world.
Problem with Noah is he also died & rec'd not the promise.

Two of everything to sort out, til only one of everything?

If so are you willing to say something about someone stalking my questions. I am receiving violations for posts i made last winter and they are only for posts that were definitely pro-Catholic or anti-fundamentalist.

Hebrews 1:1-4

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.


So, why do a lot of people say Jesus *IS* God when this says God made Jesus?

if the Mormon Church is false, then why would Father Joseph Vajda, a Roman Catholic Dominican monk, successfully complete a master's thesis at the University of California, Berkeley, which shows that this LDS doctrine of human exaltation is consistent with early Christian teachings?

The work in question is Jordan Vajda, OP, "Partakers of the Divine Nature": A Comparative Analysis of the Patristic and Mormon Doctrines of Divinization, master's thesis, Graduate Theological Union at the University of California, Berkeley, 1998, published under the same title as Occasional Paper No. 3 by the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (Provo, Utah, 2002).

In this work, Father Vajda notes that the writings of the early Church fathers clearly express a belief in the divine potential of human beings - that we can become "gods" through the grace of Christ and partake in the divine nature.

Do this quiz and let us all know what the results come back with as well as the percentages.
Was it accurate? Do you have objections?

My results were:
1. Mahayana Buddhism (100%)
2. Theravada Buddhism (87%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (85%)
4. Neo-Pagan (85%)
5. New Age (83%)
I'm happy to see that the top two are Buddhism! I must be on the right track for my research! :)

I've been to many church-sponsored functions, including funerals and volunteer luncheons catered by caterers who happened to profess the same faith as the given church, or by parishioners of the church themselves.

Thus far I'd have to say that of the meals I've had, the Catholics excel at making a particularly succulent holiday meal. The Baptists offer great home cooking with a Southern twang. Unitarian Universalists offered mostly store bought stuff so they don't really count, but the few homemade pies of theirs I've tried were tasty. Methodists also had stuff probably second in my list to the Catholics.

Would you watch an Iron Chef battle between religious houses, maybe as a fundraising event? I sure would. I'd also do my best to be there to eat the leftovers.

I'm an atheist, and this Sunday will be my first time at a Catholic mass. Should I mumble along with the prayers? When do I stand up and sit down? This is complicated!

.... and wonder what could possibly be the attraction?

I'm not talking about all of them, and I certainly don't mean to bash, but could you ever see yourself possibly wanting what they have? Do they constantly have to remind us how miserable it is being a Christian?

They say you will know them by their fruits.

Watchtower 8/15/81 "From time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of Jehovah’s people those who, like the original Satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude. They do not want to serve “shoulder to shoulder” with the worldwide brotherhood. (Compare Ephesians 2:19-22.) Rather, they present a “stubborn shoulder” to Jehovah’s words. (Zech. 7:11, 12) Reviling the pattern of the “pure language” that Jehovah has so graciously taught his people over the past century, these haughty ones try to draw the “sheep” away from the one international “flock” that Jesus has gathered in the earth. (John 10:7-10, 16) They try to sow doubts and to separate unsuspecting ones from the bounteous “table” of spiritual food spread at the Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses, where truly there is ‘nothing lacking.’ (Ps. 23:1-6) They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home.
