We are all the children of God

If Jesus Christ is the son of God, then he is God's child. And if we are all the children of God, why am I not the same as Jesus? Why is Jesus different from me? I am the Son of God just as much as Jesus is. Just as everyone else are the Sons and Daughters of God.

Jesus, The Holy Spirit and The Father are One...

People only become adopted Children of God when they believe The LORD Jesus and trust in the Atonement Jesus secured for their salvation..

(Galatians 4:4-7) "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, {5} To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. {6} And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. {7} Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."

(Romans 8:14-17) "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. {15} For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. {16} The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: {17} And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

@James25 And i believe the Bible is the Word of God and Nor do i believe in your idea's..

Now why did you feel the need to state the obvious.. I knew before i respoinded to you that you where not a Christian.. Most of my responces on this SW are to non-Christians.. Thats par for the course here for me..

@Adstar the problem is that as I would leave you in peace with your beliefs you would have me burn in hell for mine. Just because I do not believe your God is my savior you and your God would have me burn in hell. But that isn't even the real problem. The real problem is that you have these beliefs in the first place. They are a distorted and inaccurate understanding of God.

Noooooo.... The very reason i share the Gospel is in the hope of seeing other people trust in the Gospel so that they end up being saved... I agree with the Message of God when it says..

(2 Peter 3:9) "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

I believe the Bible is the Word of God and so i don't like leaving other people in ""peace"" watching them walk on the path to the Eternal Lake of Fire.. I don't want them,, and that includes You,, To perish in that Lake..

I do not believe your God is my savior you and your God would have me burn in hell.

My God (The only God in all existence) Manifested in the Flesh as the LORD Jesus.. He came down to earth to suffer a terrible death to pay the penalty for your transgressions and makes it so easy for sinners to be saved by offering that Atonement as a pure gift.. All one has to do is acknowledge ones need for that atonement and accept it by trusting in it... The LORD has suffered death to keep you from burning in the Lake of Fire..


The real problem is that you have these beliefs in the first place. They are a distorted and inaccurate understanding of God.

My sentiments are exactly the same towards you.. But it is not really my problem,, Because i am saved,, The problem is your problem because at this moment you are facing eternity in the Lake of Fire..

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the second person of the Godhead. If you repent of your sins and accept what Jesus did on the cross then you become sons and daughters of God. You are adopted. No way are you equal to Jesus Christ. He bought your salvation with His blood.

@Baremine Jesus is coming.....and boy is He pissed
Baremine · 70-79, C
@sunsporter1649 he is coming back as king of kings and lord of Lords. He is coming back as judge not as savior.

@James25 God said "I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. My understanding of God is not primitive

Because you or I and all the rest of us aren’t perfect as Jesus is perfect for a start and the obvious human lineage just might have something to do with it too so…
Also we are all adopted as sons and daughters of God through our faith in Him
James25 · 61-69, M
@wunderluv but didn't God create us in His image? Perfection is perfection. You are either perfect or you are not. If you are some variant of perfection then you are not perfect.
wunderluv · 51-55, M
@James25 the point you are obviously missing is that you are equally free to make less than perfect choices you know, just to make things interesting or to not be predictable or for whatever reason too and we are also free to make outright wrong choices hence the very point of free will.
Rather than argue the point with me ad nauseam reflect on what I’ve given you so far. Humans are made to be thoughtful and reflective not reactive and argumentative. Get back to me in a few days or so read scripture and do some research on what I said. That will also benefit you. I’m not saying that last part to insult you in any way but rather to encourage you just so you know
@wunderluv So God can use his own free will to make less than perfect choices.

@Emosaur a thought or opinion is something. To have no thoughts or opinion is nothing.

@BlueSkyKing I agree. People who are religious are free to choose to believe in their religion. Just as people who are not religious are free to choose not to believe in religion. It is when they impose their religious beliefs upon others that I will object.
