Besides, is it fair to split Jesus in any way? If Jesus were fully God and fully man, then everything Jesus experienced, both his divine and human natures also experienced. For example, if I could ask them, "How can Jesus be God if he doesn’t know everything?" They would respond, "In his humanity he didn’t know, but in his divinity he is omniscient." However, this is impossible. One cannot both know everything and not know everything at the same time! If Jesus had claimed ignorance about his second coming when he was really omniscient, would this not be deceptive? To illustrate this, consider the analogy below.<br><br> | Besides, is it fair to split Jesus in any way?

Fred asked Laura for $5, and she responded, "I don’t have $5." But then 10 minutes later, Fred noticed that she was holding $5 in her hand and questioned her why she had lied. Laura replied, "When I said I didn’t have $5, I meant in my right hand I did not have it; although it is true that in my left hand I do have $5." Would this not be immediately exposed as deception? Either the person has the $5 or not. One cannot both have and not have $5 at the same time.<br><br> | Fred asked Laura for $5, and she responded, "I don’t have $5."

Is Jesus Both God and Man?'by Sean Finnegan When Demons Are Real! Beyond Today -- Is God a Trinity? Gaining Freedom from Pornography // John Bevere Paul Washer | Feminists Hate Women... This is NOT JESUS... This is IDOLATRY Apostle Gino Jennings - LOOK HOW YOU'VE BECOME - Best Sermon Ever ***2018 NEW***</font>
Jesus Testifies Against the Trinity Do you have a ministry or a business There is nothing wrong with being in business and selling things. However, if you are a church or any kind of "ministry", you may want to check your motive for how you are conducting the work of the Lord. Remember the money changers in the temple where JESUS turned over the tables and threw them out. They were selling things in the "CHURCH". | PROPHECY UPDATE SEP 30, 2018 - EARTHQUAKE IN INDONESIA You can visit our archive videos items here |
