Me: Dovey does not know what she believes. In one post, she said that Jesus could have been an angel. When I mentioned this, she denied having said it and asked where she said it. she said it is not what she believes at all.<Freeborn>
For someone who accuses me of twisting your words, you sure do a very good job of it. I never said Jesus was an Angel. I'm glad you reposted it too..so that people can see I didn't say such a thing. I believe Jesus is the Son of God....He is God. I believe God is a Family. God the Father and God the Son. A family relationship there. I don't believe God's Holy Spirit is a 3rd person. I'm not Trinitarian or Oneness.
You even said both of those beliefs are false. Jesus and the Father are one because they are a Family. Just like our families are ONE family..with many members. The Household of God is a family.
Don't you think that is the reason He created us to be families??? Don't you see the analogies used in Scripture about Jesus being the head of His church just like a human man is the head of His wife & family..etc? What about believers becoming the "sons of God"??? What about when Jesus says...."you are my brother, sister, mother"????
Matthew 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Matthew 12:50 "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Family terms. I think all this confusion with "who God is" would be resolved if we just took what God says in Scripture instead of inventing our own ideas.
