Quote 2besee,What you wrote states both “God is light” and “God is in the light”. “God is Love” is another statement John uses. In the case of the later it is said Love is an attribute of God.Hi Kerwin,If it is said by some that love is an attribute of God, despite it saying that God IS Love, then the word can be an attribute of God too……….?…[Read more]

Light and love go together. The opposite to light and love is darkness with hate. The darkness though has never OVERCOME the light.

To Mike and all,God is light and the light shine through Jesus Christ.In 1st John, 1-10, it starts off with a similar kind of opening to John 1 – it is speaking about the light being God (the Father) and remember that the light came into the world:This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him is no…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ June 28 2013,18:48)Hi BD,   It is you that does not believe ALL the Scriptures, not me my friend:”Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the  which the HolySpirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church  of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” (Acts 20:28)EdHi Ed,To this post.

Ed, If something does not seem to make sense, then always look for clarification from other scriptures as to what it means. Now we know that God is spirit and we know that the holy spirit is spirit. Now spirit does not have blood does it.So here is your clarification as to the meaning of that verse:Hebrews 9:14 How much more will the blood of…[Read more]

Quote So, where is the blood ED?John was alreay baptizing for the remission of sinBod,The death of Jesus meant the defeat of Satan and Death. So, the result was eternal: eternal life, the heavenly.That is different than baptism for the remission of sins. That is only the beginning.

Quote I have no desire to compel you to believe what I am saying. May who were God fearing Jews could not go that next step and believe Jesus is the Messiah. Their faith was great in what they already had to go beyond that is a different story as lord Jesus said:Matthew 16:25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses…[Read more]

Quote Hi 2Besee,This cryptic writing is too hard on my eyes to read.

Gene,It is good that we agree on most things, don't we. I think that where you and I MAY disagree is on Jesus NOW in this point in time (after the resurrection and ascension to Heaven) and the return of Jesus AND definitely the “millennium”, but apart from that, we are mostly in agreement Gene.
