Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 17 2006,02:37)Hi 94, Is this written?Surely sin conceives in us as James said.Jas 1″ 14But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” We cannot become like to the Son of God except…[Read more]

Hi Nick:When we are born as infants we have breath of life, but our spirit or personality is formed by what we obey.  As Christians, we become like Jesus as we learn to obey his word.”And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”.  (Genesis 2:7)John 6:63 s…[Read more]

Hi all:Your conscience is the inner sense of a person which distinguishes between what is morally good or evil or one's knowledge of good and evil.For a Christian the Word of God should be our guide.  Psalm 119:11 states: “Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee”.When Adam and Eve sinned they then had knowledge of good…[Read more]

Hi Nick and Oxy:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  (John 1:1-3)1 Peter 1:20 states of Jesus: “Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in th…[Read more]

Hi Nick:Acts 4:12 states: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”.Faith in that name must be in a person's heart before he is baptized in water.   If it is there, it does not matter whether the person doing the baptizing says I baptize you in the “name of the…[Read more]

Hi all:This is interesting regarding Eusebius and Matthew 28:19.  My understanding is similar to Malcolm's.Matt: 18:19 states: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”.  The emphasis is “in the name of” which is singular.  The name Jesus when translated means “J…[Read more]

Hi Nick:Thanks for this valuable knowledge as is stated by the scriptures that you quote 2 Peter 1:20-21, and your summation that God wrote the original manuscripts through men.And so because of the possibility of errors in translation, I have to search more than one translation when something does not seem line up with the rest of the scriptures.…[Read more]

Hi sscott:I am not a Greek scholar and so I would like someone who may be able to read Greek help me with the actual translation of this verse.I have looked at various translations for this verse of scripture and I have quoted the New Living translation (which I believe adds clarity to the verse) and the Complete Jewish Bible translation.  I have…[Read more]

Nick:I am not sure that I understand what you mean by “unresolved imperfections”.  God does not remember our mistakes if we repent when we make them but He won't reward us for those mistakes.  He does reward us for using whatever he has entrusted to us in his service as is shown by Matt. 25.”For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's h…[Read more]

Thanks, seekingtruth, I've been doing some dry runs. I think that I can get the hang of it.God Bless you–A friend in need is a friend indeed!

Ok. Krench I'm back had seek a little guidance from God to try and answer your question.Looking at the scriptures pertaining to the rich man to whom you refer we find him coming to Jesus asking, “Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?  And Jesus said unto him, “Why callest me good?  there is not good but one, that is, God.  Thou kn…[Read more]

Hi Nick:Salvation is not of works to me means that I although I am striving to obey God through the commandments that God has given us through our Lord Jesus that I did not obey him without making many mistakes along the way.  If it weren't for the blood of Jesus which cleanses me from sin when I do make a mistake, I would not be saved.Romans…[Read more]

Hi all:The verdict for all who have striven to obey God from the beginning until the end will be not guilty, but all will go before the judgment seat of Christ and will be rewarded according to their works.”And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.  I am the Alpha and Omega the…[Read more]

Hi sscott:I'd like to answer your questions.  First I'll deal with the qestion of Moses seeing God.Moses conversing with God:”Now therefore, I pray thee if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.  And he said unto him, My presence s…[Read more]

Hi sscott:And so this shows you that the “Trinity dotrine” is false doctrine.  Because it states that Jesus is God.  Numbers 23:19 states: “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:…”.  James 1:13 states: “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED WITH EV…[Read more]

Hi sscott:Isaiah 43:10 states: “You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant who I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me”.God is speaking to the Nation of Israel saying that they are His witnesses that there is not God but Him.  They…[Read more]

Hi sscott:I would like to try to answer your question, but before I do, please let me know the specific article about the Trinity/Nature of God that you are referring.Thanks

Hi Krench:I have already told you why I am a saint but whether or not I am one of the 144K or maybe even one on the 2 witnesses, I don't know, but whatever I am I am by the grace of God, and not because I obeyed the Law of Moses without sin.  Jesus did that for us.  As I said I am striving to obey him but I make mistakes.  It is the blood of my Lo…[Read more]
