Hi Kerwin:When a baby is born into the world (this is not an arguement as to when life begins), the baby is a living person or soul. That baby has a mind, a will, and emotions. The personality or character of the person is formed within him through what the person obeys. Jesus was said to be the express image of God's person, for example, and…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 22 2010,05:40)I am posting this here because i consider this to be a working hypothesis as I search for the truth.  I am sure of most of what I state but I am not sure that what I describe is the soul.  If someone knows any scripture that actually describes the nature of the soul then feel free to introduce it.I am starting w…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ April 20 2010,23:51)I agree brother Kerwin, but where on earth it was told to call on name of Messiah to achieve salvation or eternal life in O.T. How can you treat Jesus death as sacrifice when he was executed by Roman authorities on criminal offences may be not proved? It is all the misinterpretation of Christian writers to…[Read more]

Hi:Quote Romans 4:13For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 17 2010,08:21)Hi 94, The brothers of Jesus would have recognised the urgings of the Spirit as the voice of their Lord.We who never met him can also know that voice reflected from his teachings.Hi Nick:You say: “we who have never met him…”.

Quote (gollamudi @ April 16 2010,19:33)Quote (kerwin @ April 13 2010,21:21)No one Jew or Gentile should reject Jesus as the Anointed One.  Sadly some do reject him and those that do reject him, reject him because they love to sin and so will not come out of the darkness into the light.  All the talk is just a way to cover up their evil choice b…[Read more]
