Believers do not believe because of the book, they believe because they have a personal faith in God that is real. The book is there to guide us and teach us about doctrine and other things. It contains history, law, teachings, prophecy, and revelation.

Hi Proclaimer, thanks for your replies to my post. I liked your above quote on belief. Yes a…[Read more]

Seventy Weeks of Daniel 9

The Prophecy of Seventy Weeks is the narrative in chapter 9 of the Book of Daniel in which Daniel prays to God to act on behalf of his people and city (Judeans and Jerusalem), and, in response, is given a detailed but cryptic prophecy of “seventy weeks” by the angel Gabriel. The prophecy has proven difficult for readers,…[Read more]

Anyway, the topic at hand is ‘Did God create all things through the Lord Jesus Christ?’.

If you don’t think so then say why and give an explanation.

There are other topics that might be closer to your New Testament doesn’t match the Old Testament argument. But to put in a final word on that. Why don’t you argue that Moses doesn’t match Abraham…[Read more]

Please check who is rambling brother.

Yes it is you.

You have set rules in your own mind that are not logical and then get offended when people believe different to you.

If I picked up a physics book, I could say it doesn’t make sense. But when I apply some of the examples, I might see what it is talking about. Likewise with faith.

In fact more Jews were killed due to anti-semetism based on Christian NT than by the Romans. 

The State Church of Constantine and the Popes did this, but not the Desert Church, the true Church, NEVER

You could make the same argument for the Law of Moses. What precedent was there?

God creating a nation from Abraham? What precedent is there?

Yes Torah was given through Moses and was later to Abraham but your claim of preexistence of Jesus(the so called Messiah) as the literally begotten son of God was the precedent of every thing so why was it…[Read more]

Sorry it seems you are deviating from arguments. I never told that Malachi was the last prophet of God.

You obviously missed my point then.

I’ll try and make it simpler next time.

Why only the NT writers invented this foreign concept on Messiah? Don’t you think you need to check it with respect the formal scriptures before validating any new d…

So God sent men and angels to represent him and to give the law and prophecy.

According to you, it should have all stopped at Malachi which doesn’t make any sense to me. Yet that is your argument.

If you lived just before Malachi, would you then have opposed him by saying that Zechariah was the last prophet? (Please ignore the order here. I am j…

And none of this is strange at all if it was all planned from the beginning. It is simply then the glorious plan of God unfolding and at certain times there are quieter times than others. But certainly when the messiah comes it will not be like any other time and again, when he comes back as the reigning king bringing judgement to a wicked world…[Read more]

From an Old Testament standpoint, there are angelic beings that serve God.

There are also beings who oppose God in high places.

Angels and especially the Angel of YHWH made numerous visitations and did miracles among his people the Jews.

So God sent men and angels to represent him and to give the law and prophecy.

According to you, it should…[Read more]

Hi to all

DOESN’T THE BIBLE TEACH IN LUKE 17 THAT THERE WILL BE A RAPTURE?

Daily Devotional

“Secret rapture” advocates often use this text as evidence of a time when Christ will supposedly snatch away His saints from the world. But to get the whole picture, we need to start with verse 26, when Jesus described Noah’s day: “Even so will it b…[Read more]

Wonder no more. The flesh comes first, then the Spirit. And a flesh body can die as it is a machine like a car. You can destroy a car right? Having eternal life, then destroying one’s flesh body will not stop the body from damage or death.

Or are you arguing that a soul that has eternal life once planted inside a flesh body, could then cut his h…

Adam…..You see when I read what Jesus himself said as written in our New Testament scriptures, I don’t see where any of those original writers, said made false statements,  just those who have falsely interpret them  do.  If you properly  read what they wrote , in the right context , they fit the Old Testament,  perfectly.  IMO

It’s September 11 in New Zealand, but this event happened for us on September 12.

So it has been 20 years now.

And my vision is as pertinent as ever.

It explains that because of what happened that day, that the West would be invaded by an army of people on boats that want to attack us and our way of life.

Gene.

Both you and Adam are sceptics. Both do not believe the scriptures. The difference between you two is Adam is honest about it whereas you purport to be a Believer.

What other explanation is there?

You people aren’t smart enough to realize that Satan want’s you to believe the “Lie” he created in ” fallen Christianity ” , that Jesus is a different being then the rest of US HUMANS

Or could it be that you have not understood that many people here believe that he came in the flesh. Meaning that he became one of us, so he could save us. As deat…[Read more]

Again you get mixed up between nature / characteristics vs a person or identity.

First off, a being can and and are named after attributes like logos, love, light, etc. Let’s look at a few names to make this easy for you. I did a quick search and haven’t verified these. But suffice to say, my point is made.
