From Cypress, a Greek Orthodox Christian, Costas was excited to be led to the gift of Salvation, Cypress was eager to receive the Gospel of John, Pocket Testament, and insisted that I take his photo. His companion received and repeated the sinner's pray, but did not want me to take her photo, another friend declined the Lord's gift.

Colossians 1:15.

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation. Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see -- kings, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities.

Everything has been created through him and for him. He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together. Christ is the head of the church, which is his body. He is the first of all who will rise from the dead, so he is first in everything.

For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and by him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of his blood on the cross.

According to the Scriptures, all three members of the Trinity are fully God:

God the Father—Jesus Christ referred to His Father as God (John 6:27).

God the Son—John 1:1 identifies Jesus as divine. While Christ never specifically called Himself "God," His Father did apply the title to Him (Hebrews 1:8). Furthermore, Jesus acknowledged having unlimited power—an attribute possessed only by the divine Creator (Matthew 28:18)—and also accepted worship (Matthew 14:33; John 9:38).

God the Holy Spirit—After declaring that God raised Christ from the dead, the New Testament goes on to credit the Holy Spirit with the resurrection (Acts 4:10; Romans 8:11). Jesus reinforced that idea when He commanded the disciples to baptize new believers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The Bible confirms that each member of the Trinity is equally God.

15 months ago: By the title of this rave, I thought Bob Costas had signed to do another interview program, like "Costas Now".
For a moment Edward, I was excited. But on to my question...
"another friend declined the Lord's gift."...does this mean that even if someone does not accept your faith, they are still your friends?
15 months ago: Until we die, some of my sons have also declined as well, but we are hoping and praying that they will except someday.

It is not over, until it's over.
