Jesus often times spoke 'third person'.

Journey, I will have to get to these in another day or two, busy!Later.

Hi LU,I read it.It was good to read, except that I understood the word of God to be God's own words spoken through the spiritually visible Son of God – the Holy Spirit.Then I got to the ending, where it said:Quote The point is that both pre-Christian Jews and Christian Jews looked back at their Hebrew Old Testament and sawa “binitarian” god…[Read more]

Think about it……….. If you could speak with the power and the authority or the Spirit, would you? Well, Jesus – He had the spirit WITHOUT MEASURE! The Spirit gives us insights into things. The Spirit leads us into all truth. The Spirit is the power who works in us if we allow it but these days it is so hard for that spirit to be working -…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 17 2013,11:36)So far, we've learned that the following things cannot be scripturally refuted:1.  John 1:1c can be faithfully translated as “and the Word was a god”.  (Many expert Greek scholars, plus the simple FACT that it CAN be translated that way.)2.  And the Word was a god:  (Is 9:6, Heb 1:8-9, etc.)3.  He was with…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 21 2005,16:29)Hi, This topic always causes a flood of opinions so perhaps we should look at it on it's own.Jn 4.21″ Jesus said to her 'Woman, believe me an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you WORSHIP THE FATHER.You worship that which you do not know ;we worship that which we know;for…[Read more]

Quote So unless you come up with scriptural backing & contextual THEMES to support your claim, the burden of proof remains on YOUR shoulders and NOT ours.So “all the nations” means exactly that, every nation on planet earth will be united against the CITY of Jerusalem in a future attack that has no precedence in history.Devo,”Unless I come up with…[Read more]

Journey, what are you sniggering about!! (:

I started this thread and I now do not know what to put in it! Perhaps it will come to me over time.

Mike I cannot answer your question on page one yet (the OP) as I do not know the answer myself.

Kerwin thanks, I will continue to 'investigate'.This is really interesting.

Journey,The gift of God is eternal life. it is your doctrine stating the opposite, is it not? Your doctrine states, I think, that there will be a kingdom no different to what we have here today (men will die, be evil, etc). That is not scriptural – it is not what Jesus taught.

Journey,I do not reject you – or any of you, but your doctrines, the main ones that are in amongst what I would agree with.Still like to read your posts and discuss, try and persuade…. etc.  Quote still Our God will have mercy on certain indiduals who did not know him.  THIS IS A REAL GOD OF LOVE.  THIS IS A GOD OF MERCY.  He is not a tyr…[Read more]

Actually, I am not going to trust Wikipedia because anyone can edit that and I think this is important, so will take others advice this time. Trying to find a reliable truthful source is difficult – will try though.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Feb. 16 2013,16:31)2besee……..The Gnostic's were a sect of the early church and preached that Jesus was sent from the pelora of the Gods to straighten out what the first God messed up. They were the first to come up with the doctrine of Jesus being a GOD Himself instead of God coming into him by way of the “ANOINTING”…[Read more]

The day star will dawn, arise oh Soldier, let us find that place, wipe those eyes, soldier on, no time to waste.

The verse given to me to post today for somebody??”Behold, O LORD, for I am in distress,my soul is in tumult,my heart is wrung within me,because I have been very rebellious.In the street the sword bereaves;in the house it is like death.”Hear how I groan;there is none to comfort me.All my enemies have heard of my trouble;they are glad that thou…[Read more]
