Hi:Phil 2:5* Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  2:6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  (This says who “being in the form of God” and this to  me indicates at the present time.  Not at some prior time.)

Hi Isaiah and t8:Joh 1:18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. The above scripture says that no man has seen God at any time.  I believe that you, Isaiah would have to agree that “no man has seen the Father at any time” which John 6:46 indicates the Father, but the…[Read more]

Hi sscott:Just thought that I'd paste the following scripture relative to your question:2 Peter 1      1:1Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:  1:2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of…[Read more]

Hi Nick and Not3in1:The following I ask of my Father on a daily basis.  I ask not demand, and thank him for hearing my prayer.James 1:5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.  1:6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave o…[Read more]

Quote (Tim2 @ June 01 2007,08:53)God is one, as you say.  The Father and the Son are one, as Jesus says.  So what's the problem?They are not the same person. They are two distinct individuals who are “one” in the Spirit of Holiness.

Hi:If God wanted us to know that Jesus pre-existed his Virgin birth he would have told us that he did. He is not the author of confusion. Any way what matters, is that He loves us and gave his life for us as shown clearly in the scriptures so that we could be reconciled to God, and that he lives forever more to make intercession for us, and that…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 29 2007,16:12)Hi 94, Are you hoping for salvation by works?If so you may find mercy in the second resurrection but only if those works are done to those in Christ.If you follow the way of Jesus it is his works not ours, that save us.No Nick:His works paved the way for we to follow his example.  He obeyed God without sin…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 29 2007,15:22)Hi 94, You say”If you notice verse 39 is in Parantheses which indicates to me that this was added” I do not believe you are correct.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 29 2007,13:28)Hi 94, You say”I believe that you are born of living water when you believe the Word of God, and you are born of the Spirit when you receive the Holy Ghost.” Scripture rather says that the living water is the Holy Spirit baptism. Jn 7″ 37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,…[Read more]

Hi Nick:I missed the last part of your post relative to the fact that these did not know that they were saved. I'll have to do a little studying before I give you my understanding. I believe that Jesus uses this to illustrate a point, but I'll get back to you on this after some prayer to God asking for understanding.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 29 2007,13:05)Hi 94, Any evidence for this claim? There is no longer Jew nor gentile in Christ-all are sheep of one fold. the verse rather speaks of separation, and 1000 years is a significant separation between the folds of sheep.No Nick:You are trying interpret the scripture that I quoted to fit your belief relative to…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 29 2007,13:07)Hi 94, Paul and the apostles rather seemed to place importance on repentance and water and Spirit baptism in Acts but they were decieved do you think?Hi Nick:We have already covered all of this ground, but to reiterate, we are saved by Faith but faith is not simply a mental assent but coming to God believing…[Read more]
