Give Me an Answer - In the Beginning God, or In the Beginning Hydrogen.

there was no beginning . ... not possible. what is was always. what will be, already was. always was ...
 
What matters and prevails is the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD, self-executing, understand? And Father of my Lord JESUS Christ.

What does the Word of GOD say? Hebrews 1:1-3

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

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom GOD hath appointed heir of all things, by WHOM also He made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE of His person-GOD's 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:

Revelation 1:7-8
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

My Lord JESUS said: Revelation 1:8 -
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Hebrews 1:1-3

1 GOD, ...

2 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;

3 Who being the brightness of Hs glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the Word of his power - the Word is GOD, self-executing, understand?- , when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

My Lord JESUS came here in the fourth Day, so He came here around 4000 years after Adam, or arund 2000 years ago, GOD the Father was sitll working in His wondeful Plan of restoration of all things- Genesis 1 combined with Acts 4:1-21. And my Lord JESUS left very clear saying: John 5:17 - My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

The Word is GOD, self-executing, understand?

Get ready, the Word made flesh is coming. You know His name, I must believe.
 
Genesis 1:1.In the beginning God created .....
GOD is the Word, understand?
In the beginning- in JESUS-
the Word-GOD- was in JESUS, was in the beginning, and created ... " All things were made by JESUS; and without JESUS was not any thing made that was made. John 1:3.
I am Alpha and Omega
, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. ---> I and my Father are One, JESUS said: - John 10:30 .
 
Christ is the beginning and the end.
He was the beginning because he always was. He is the end because he always will be. Before he created 1st angel,he was. Boggles the mind.
 
@ Oseas -- I agree with you.
I would say not with me. but with the Word of GOD. If so, we both are one in our Lord JESUS and in GOD the Father-the Word- as follow:

John 17:21-24

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the WORLD may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are One:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in One; and that the WORLD may KNOW that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; AMEN!

that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: AMEN!

for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. Hallelujah!
 
People are so fickle here. Lol.

Oseas, so exacting, to the letter of the Word. But without depth. Because what is most crucial, to follow the will of God. Does not happen.

Jesus states. ( taking the bread at the last supper) This IS my body. Take and eat. Do this in rememberance of me.

And on the road to Emmaus, some Apostles were walking. Jesus joined them. But they did not recognize Him. And even when Jesus shared scripture, they did not recogni,e Him. It was only when Jesus blessed and broke the bread, did they recognize Him.

Can you see what Jesus is telling you to do, and will you recieve Him?
 
@Bill -- since Jesus was there with them He was talking about the bread and wine which Represents the sacrifice He endured for us on the cross. He wasn't telling them to eat Him. The RCC believes thst thr priest has the power to somehow turn the bread and eine Into Christ's actual body. It's called transsubstantiation. And most churches use grapevine.

Jesus never used the phrase "this represents me", infact it is quite clear. Every translation, "this IS my body" "this IS my blood".

The words 'rememberance' and 'represents' do not mean the same thing

When a person recieves Jesus into thier heart, how does the person do it?

"No one can go to the Father but through me" What does Jesus mean when He says "go through Him"?

How do we recieve the "Indwelling" of the Holy Spirit?

Jesus, in the Word of the Scripture teaches us to Recieve Him. He shows us in the lives of the Children of Abraham. Thier time in the desert, with Moses. The Mana that came from Heaven and the Life giving water that came from the rock, the rock that followed the Isrealites around in the desert. And that Rock was Christ.

Jesus is our Bread of Life ( Mana from Heaven) and the Wine of the New Covenant.

It is ok Sue, God knows not all can comprehend the teaching. This is why everything else is also important. Recieving Scripture into your heart. Loving God with all you are, Love your neighbor as yourself. To worship God in fellowship.

Everything has its importance

(And, of course, putting up with your brother in Christ)

This is the passage you're referring to. Matthew 26: 26 - 30. Vs 26 " and as they were eating Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said " take eat ; this is My body." Vs 27 then He took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying"drink from it all of you. Vs 28 for this is my blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many foe the remission of sins. Vs.29 but I say to you I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until thst day when I drink it New with you in my Father's kingdom ."


Obviously the bread was not part of His body. And the cup they were drinking was not His blood. It was representing the blood that He shed on the cross.

So we part take of the Lord's super / communion is remembrance of what He did on the cross . Until we as born-again believers are with Him.
 
I just found another passage about the Lord's supper. 1 Corinthians 11: 23 - 26 vs 25 " ....in remembrance of Me." This is the passage we read from in church. And vs 26 for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. "

What am i missing? That you are reading? You stated it yourself, exactly as i have said. Even quoted the scripture." Take eat, this Is My Body" .

"Take eat, this IS MY BODY" Doesn't say represents my body. Says, this Is My Body.

And God doesnt use old wineskins for new wine. The Blood of Jesus is the New Wine, of the New Covenant.

You wrote: "People are so fickle here."

Now, you are judging people, and you think that you are not included among them, by chance?

Be careful or else get ready

I wrote that, about being fickle, for you. Because you already knew what Sue's was meaning when she said it, but instead of agreeing with what she said you had to post more technically that she was agreeing with the word of God. And I just found that to be so unnecessary.

We are all brothers and sisters here, we are not teaching ignorant or children.
