I said Jesus was the begotten Son of God not God himself on a christian question and got 6 thumbs down.
The verse is in the Bible John 3:16

Johnny Cee, what has 1 chronicles 13:8
"And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with full power and with songs and with harps and with stringed instruments and with tambourines and with cymbals and with trumpets"
Got to do with the triune? Trinitarians always do this, quote irrelevant scriptures.

Guitar teacher Jesus saying him and God are one doesn't mean he is God. That is taking scripture out of context. Jesus said The Father is greater and I and made reference that God knows more and is greater than Christ himself.
Being one means you are together in agreement not literally I am God.

Heh. Try quoting the "God commanded the death of infants" (1 Samuel 15:1-3) verse. My personal best is 12 thumbs down. ;)

That's an odd one. I thought Christians were supposed to forgive. I must have missed the "though shalt give a thumbs down on Yahoo Answers if someone quotes the bible" when I was watching the ten commandments

Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God(2nd Person of the GodHead) and at the same time God Almighty Himself. Only one God, but in three persons.
I Cr 13;8a
You will always get thumbs down from true Christians if you say that Jesus is not God himself.

The reason you got thumbs down from Christians is that you quoted a verse, then twisted the meaning. Jesus said clearly , "I and the Father are one". He said He is God. Repeatedly.

The word Christian covers a great many meanings in people's minds, but the meaning of the word 'Christian' is 'a follower of Christ', and if people are true followers of Christ they will love His Word, the Bible.
All Scripture is inspired by God. If they love God, they will love His Word!

i stumble on it exciting your taking Psalm 137:9 out of context to aim to instruct God and thereby Christians as depraved an evil. whilst in case you examine and understood the passage you will see the babies being dashed against the stones are God's human beings by skill of the enemy's of God. the folk taking section in the killing are the depraved. very like your attempting to do maximum appropriate now.

Jesus was the son of God, in that God was literally his father through mary, but he himself was God. example: I am my sister's brother, my fiance's fiance, and my uncle's nephew. my family calls me by Juan, and my fiance by Tony. I am 1 person. Now I understand that Jesus is a seperate entity from Gd altogether, but with God this IS possible, so, any more questions?

Because Jesus is the SOn of God & God. If you are going to quote scripture, quote it correctly.
