    (John 14:6) Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
    (John 15:16) YOU did not choose me, but I chose YOU, and I appointed YOU to go on and keep bearing fruit and that YOUR fruit should remain; in order that no matter what YOU ask the Father in my name he might give it to YOU.
    (John 16:23-24) And in that day YOU will ask me no question at all. Most truly I say to YOU, If YOU ask the Father for anything he will give it to YOU in my name. 24 Until this present time YOU have not asked a single thing in my name. Ask and YOU will receive, that YOUR joy may be made full.
    (Ephesians 2:18) because through him we, both peoples, have the approach to the Father by one spirit.

    I agree. It does say a lot about God, although a lot of people only see the punishment part and never see the blessing part.

    so what happens to the 2nd commandment you quoted earlier about exclusivity to the One God?

    O.k., I will rephrase.

    Are you a christian?

    I am not implying anything, only attempting to get a simple reply to a simple question.

    I never intended that I would be the only one to answer questions or make comments but a place where Bible questions and answers can be discussed. :D

    It's just not a place for trying to prove that God doesn't exist or that the Bible is invalid. :mad:

    Christians are not under the Law but that does not mean that principles behind the Law are invalid, so exclusivity to the One God is still a principle that Christians should live by.

    I understand it to be no trinity. Jesus is anointed as being his representative for all of humanity. It's like when a forum creator gives someone Head Moderator privileges. God has entrusted those privileges to his Son Jesus.

    Yes, I'm trying to be but I leave the final decision whether I am or not, in God's hands.

    Actually even asking if someone is a Christian is not that simple a question. If you have read much of what I have posted, most of those who call themselves Christian, would not call me a Christian because I'm not a trinitarian, if for no other reason.

    Once Adam and Eve became imperfect, they, no longer being perfect, could not pass perfection on to their children and could only pass on imperfection to them and likewise it is the same for all human parents since then.

    What do you mean? The forum creator has the tendency to let people know what he is doing to those he hands out his privileges
