Acts 7:59,60

[Dave M]

Acts 7--59..60
59 While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60 Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

notice he calls out to Jesus to receive his spirit, this is very telling, as we know God only could receive someones spirit, so we must conclude Jesus and God are one, just as Jesus said "if you have seen me you have seen the father" (John 14--9)

we can also conclude that Jesus is in heaven so it only makes sense that our spirits goes to heaven to be with the Lord.

"fell asleep" is interesting phrase we see used many times in the bible, reading the verse in full context we know Stephen is being stoned to death, therefore we most conclude that fell asleep is a reference used to describe death.

my prayer is that all truly come know Jesus, and to truly know Jesus, is to know Jesus is God in the flesh.

So according to you, Jesus contradicted Himself.

Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. John 17:3

Jesus declares His Father as the only true God, but you say He is also on the same level as God. I trust in what He said, not what men said.

Enxu, you have a bad, definition of what the Doctrine of The “Trinity” really is. Like there are so many people who believe in the word “Trinity” AND they don’t even knows what it Means and neither can they explain IT. Don’t listen to these ‘arm chair”, barber shop type “theologians”! They try to explain and they have no concept of it, then they come with the wrong definition. Go to the source of the definition who “coin” the term. Tertullian, then look how “Augustine” made it understandable and clear, then see how Calvin term, then modern day, R.C. Sproul explain. God the Father and God the Son are two different person but one in essence. They are not the same: says the doctrine of the “Trinity”. Go to the source.

1 John 2:22
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

"if you have seen me you have seen the father" (John 14--9)
