Be back to you shortly Mike.

Thank you Gene.

Many false prophets have gone out into the world. By their fruits you will know them.

Quote (terraricca @ Dec. 04 2012,16:15)THIS WAY OF THINKING DOES NOT BRING TO THE TRUTH OF GOD BUT ONLY TO YOUR OWN,; prayers are only good if they are done with a pure heart ,and so believing and understand truth in all scriptures so you will not be duped,  remove all what his in your mind and heart of preconceive ideas ;and read and understand…[Read more]

Hi Gene, I think that we are seeing things the same. I prayed for truth. Now I know what I can say to anyone who asks, for example people who do not know Christianity at all. God bless.

T, getting to your post later.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 06 2012,12:56)2B, all I want you to realize, first and foremost, is that Jesus is called a god in scripture, which means Jehovah is NOT literally the only god in existence.  Are we now agreed on this scriptural fact?I don't see what your point is.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Dec. 04 2012,14:01)Now would you address the 5 points I listed, one at a time, by number?Thanks,mikeQuote 1.  Jesus IS called a god, like you said. Jesus the man is now called a God in scripture, yes. What was in him was the Word of God, the ETERNAL SPIRIT of God, not a separate God. As it says, God ALONE created the earth and…[Read more]

Amen gene.

This will take me some time Mike because I am studying, and Terraricca.

I just prayed and asked this question (what is true worship) and I was given this:Psalms 29:1 Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name;worship the LORD in holy array.The voice of the LORD is upon the waters;the God of glory thunders,the LORD, upon many waters.The voice…[Read more]

Terraricca,What do you mean that 'we do not see most of the things that God hates?'Of course we do.

Terraricca, This thread and my original question was in regards to John 1.I know that it is a highly debated chapter, especially John 1:1, and as I said in the beginning of the thread, it was on my mind.And through this thread and through my own thinking and prayer I have come to this conclusion, summed up:In the beginning was the word and the…[Read more]

And yet, some say that “John” MEANT… “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was a God“.When in fact in says that “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God“.
