A huge part, perhaps all of teh New Testament has a different perspective. That God himself came in the flesh as a man to pay the penalty for our sins. Who but God can live a sinless life? Where in the bible has anyone accomplished somethign apart from God? God constantly shows us that He does...

Ah, that was it. Arabic muslims. Got my stuff mixed up :p

Do Muslims claim to be children of Ishmael (the son of Abraham and Hagar)? I've heard that many do.

Hey, i haven't read a work past what I've quoted here from your post, but one thing I know is that God wants us to rely on him for everything. And the sufferings we endure help teach us how to. They also show us how God will care for us even though it might be hanging by a thread. I will pray...

It says just the opposite. Jesus created. John 1 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Jesus claimed otherwise. Why do you think he was killed? For claiming to be God.

How does that contradict the doctrine of the Trinity? Blasphemy of the "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" does this verse refer to. The Holy Spirit convicts people of their sin and need for God. Which is why if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit (pretty much saying you don't need God's forgiveness) is...

If the Holy Spirit nor the Son are God, why does Jesus talk about blaspheming them? Blasphemy is something you do against God, right? Matthew 12: 30 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me. 31 “So I tell you, every sin and...

I didn't say all that. Jesus said that him and the father are one. But he said that the fater was greater than him. They are one in nature, but the Father has the greater position. Jesus fully submitted himself to the Father's will.

Because Jesus is not the Father, he is the Son. Here's some passages from the NIV transation: John 8:18 "I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me." John 8:54 Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your...

Upon investigation it appears Jesus was just testing them. For he was God in the flesh, he wanted to see if they understood that. He didn't say "i'm not God." or "I'm not good," he said "no one is good-except for God alone." There are other places where Jesus says: if you've seen me you see the...

I'm sorry but you have taken these phrases out of context. If you read the crucifixion accounts it's obvious that Jesus died. Then he conquered death in order to life to give eternal life to all. Thats the part you're missing.

Nah, understanding comes from God. One thing I understand from the Bible is this: There is one God, the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God. some crazy three-in-one relationship is going on here it seems

No offense, but these people seem to lack understanding.

Hey, check this out.

That sounds like like deceit to me.

Jesus said, "The Father and I are one. Who ever has seen me has seen the Father." Talk about a mind-trip. One God is three persons. Infinite beings are hard for humans to comprehend. Well I completely disagree with you then ;) So God did create death then? I would not want to worship a God who...

You got it wrong. There is no compulsion to inflict pain when there is sin, it's sin itself that brings pain and suffering. And since we live in a sin-cursed world (thanks to our own willfull rebellion against God) we live in a world of pain and suffering. It's the consequence for our actions.

It's not just the NIV, but a lot of other translations say "only Son," while others say "only begotten Son," which I think I should have put instead :/ But I assume you're talking about the parable of the prodigal son in Luke, which I have read.
