Hi T8.Quote But a good end is when one or both persons say, I don't know, you could be right, I agree. If both disagree, then one or both the persons have a problem and leaving the problem never solves the problem.But when it comes to discussions of this nature, sometimes both parties will NEVER agree and so when you come to realize that fact, it…[Read more]

Ed J, I am so sorry that I have not continued with this discussion, I have been distracted with other thoughts and topics and have not had a chance to go here yet. I hope to soon.

T8, I'll get back to you tomorrow.

Eternal destruction is like saying eternal death, without the hope of being resurrected for a second chance. It does not mean that one is being continuously destroyed and suffering each time, it simply means that the results of the destruction, eternal death are for eternity, the one to be destroyed is finished for good. Some Christians truly…[Read more]

Bod,Moving ahead a bit (sorry, just writing what came to me)Jesus was Son of God at birth/conception like Adam was the Son of God, because both Adam and Jesus had no Father of the Flesh.Jesus was again the Son of God at the river Jordan when the Spirit of the Son (The Holy Spirit) descended upon Him; the anointing.Jesus was the Son of God again…[Read more]

Palal,1) the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life. 2) God is love and there is no fear in love for fear has to do with punishment, and those who fear are not perfected in love.How would you describe love? How would you match it with scriptures? Do you feel that christianity today matches up with the kind of love which was…[Read more]

Good stuff T8.Welcome Palel

Hi Colter,Just so that you know, I have not/will not read the UB, just as I have not/will not read the Quran (though I have glanced through both).Do you and Bod not get the feeling that the same spirit is not evident in the writing style, etc? Yet both the Quran and the UB are SAID to have come down from above? I

Quote (t8 @ June 08 2013,01:30)2b, I know that Mike believes that the one true God is the Father, and that Jesus and counsels of God are called theos.But I do disagree with Mike regarding the way John 1:1c uses the word theos. I believe it is qualitatively used and so do many scholars including Trinitarian ones. But the Trinitarian scholars that…[Read more]

Terraricca, well then why all of the fuss? If, as you say we agree..why are you yelling at me and others saying that we do not believe the scriptures and choose to follow some man opinion when we are saying that we believe exactly what Paul says – that though there may be those called gods and lords, to us there is but one God the Father and one…[Read more]

My batteries dead, Colter, I'll have to get back later.
