Hi Esdras, 

You should quote the material you’re asking about. Do you think we have a website of thousands of pages memorized, or that the particular words and context they’re used in aren’t important? On either count you’d be wrong. 

Here’s the portion: 

In order to promote the doctrine of the trinity, the writers of GotQuestions read into what the Scriptures say according to their natural minds and indoctrination of men. Let’s look at some common verses used to prop up the egregious pagan doctrine of trinitarianism:

Genesis 1:26-27 JPS
(26) And God said: “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
(27) And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Why “Us” and “Our” in verse 26, since God is singular in verse 27, it saying “He,” not “They”?

To begin, God was not alone:

Job 38:4-7 MKJV
(4) Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell if you have understanding!
(5) Who has set its measurements, if you know? Or who has stretched the line on it?
(6) On what are its bases sunk, or who cast its cornerstone,
(7) when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Genesis 3:22-24 JPS

(22) And the LORD God said: “Behold, the man is become as one of Us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever.”
(23) Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
(24) So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way to the Tree of Life.

He was speaking with the cherubim, describing the situation and their mission. So there are others with the LORD God.

Aside from the sons of God who were with God at the creation, there are also the cherubim to whom He said, “To become as one of Us….” So who can doubt that these angelic beings are made in the image of God? How else can they represent Him and His glory to men? 

“And the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD. And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when He speaks” (Ezekiel 10:4-5 ESV).

“Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail” (Hebrews 9:5 ESV).

Why do you ask, Esdras?

Esdras, I answered the questions of your July 19th email, which you haven’t acknowledged or answered the questions I posed to you in return. You can see that letter in the thread below. 

There’s no point in answering further questions from you. And why isn’t your Baptist ministry helping you? Have you confessed masturbation to your overseers, and what have they said about it?

How old are you, Esdras? Do you live with your father? He may have wrong doctrines, but you have been under his authority and need to get honest with him.

Hi Esdras, 

We aren’t having meetings anymore, but you may register on the Forum and interact with us there. 

But first, begin interacting now by telling us how your talk went with your father. That’s the step we told you to take and you agreed about getting honest with him about your masturbation. We haven’t heard back from you on this. What happened? How can you make progress and gain understanding if you aren’t obedient? Faith and obedience overcome social anxiety and all fears.

Paul

Le péché pardonné a des conséquences

English – Chinese – French « Et par conséquent, l’épée ne quittera pas ta maison, car tu M’as méprisé et pris la femme d’Urie le hittite pour femme. Ainsi dit le Seigneur, Voici, J’élèverai le mal contre toi de ta propre maison, et Je prendrai tes femmes sous tes yeux et les donnerai à ton voisin. Et il couchera avec tes femmes au grand jour. Car tu l’as fait secrètement, mais Je ferai cette chose devant tout Israël et en plein jour. Et David dit à Nathan, j’ai péché contre le Seigneur. Et Nathan dit à David, le Seigneur a aussi effacé ton péché ; tu ne mourras pas. Seulement, parce que par cet acte tu as donné une grande occasion à l’ennemi du Seigneur de blasphémer, cet enfant né de toi mourra certainement » (2 Samuel 12:10-14 Traduit de la MKJV). Dans Sa Parfaite Sagesse, le Seigneur a fait en sorte que nous récoltions les conséquences de nos mauvais choix. De même que nous nous sommes laissés aller au péché, ainsi le péché reste pour se laisser aller en nous jusqu’à ce que la dette soit honorée selon les Spécifications de Dieu et Sa Sainte Satisfaction.L’évangile sans loi ne permet pas une telle chose. Alors que Dieu a payé le prix pour notre rébellion et pardonne ceux qui reviennent d’Adam pour Lui faire confiance, Il détermine néanmoins que nous devons en souffrir les conséquences. L’Opportunité et l’Inévitabilité du Salut sont certainement gratuites, mais cette liberté nous coûtera tout, en commençant avec la repentance. Il n’y a pas de baguette magique ou de « ...

Defining Sin Against the Holy Spirit

From: Bideh To: The Path of Truth Sent: Sunday, January 31, 2016 12:42 PM Subject: The Holy SpiritPls what is the sin against the Holy Spirit that cannot be forgiven?From: Paul Cohen and Victor Hafichuk To: Bideh Sent: Monday, February 08, 2016 7:16 AM Subject: Re: The Holy SpiritThe sin that can’t be forgiven by men is when one speaks of and treats the work of God as evil. Only God can forgive this sin, which He does when He chooses, just as He did with Saul of Tarsus:“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, Who strengthened me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry-- the one who before was a blasphemer and a persecutor and insolent” (1 Timothy 1:12-13 MKJV).There is no sin that Jesus Christ hasn’t overcome, Bideh, or He isn’t the Lord and Savior of all men.“But the Law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, so that as sin has reigned to death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 5:20-21 MKJV).Paul Cohen & Victor Hafichuk

The Meanings of “Worm” and “Fire” in Hell.

From: Erik To: The Path of Truth Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2016 2:11 PM Subject: A response to Mary Baxter rebuttalVictor Hafichuk & Paul Cohen,I am saddened to read about your slanderous accusations about Mary Baxter.  It is obvious that you are trying very hard to come against her testimony because it challenges your belief in universal salvation.  Jesus was clear that hell was not made for people but for satan and his demons, but that eternal damnation results for those that reject him.  It would be incredibly easy to rebuff all of your statements, but I'll just do one."I looked at the woman again, and worms were crawling out of the bones of her skeleton. They were not harmed by the fire. Jesus said, 'She knows and feels those worms inside.'"What is the purpose of these creatures? They are specially made to resist fire, to ensure added torment for the souls in Mary's hell, because just burning these sinners forever is not nearly enough. No, they also have to be conscious of the worms that have infested their bodies. This is not the King of kings; it is the torturer of torturers. His passion for cruelty endures forever.Jesus himself describes this torment in the book of Mark. It is super accurate in its correlation to the statement from Mary Baxter's book.  What else do you think these worms refer to that Jesus himself describes? Have you never read this passage before? Mark 9:4242“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe...
