Mike I much agree with you about the bible acknowledging the existence of other gods especially in the OT; in the NT these are all referred to as demons.

The story of the exodus is about Yahweh defeating the gods of Egypt and Pharaoh’s magicians perform miracles like Moses and Aaron even.

Exodus12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt…[Read more]

Yes when Jesus says “verily,verily I say unto you before Abraham was I am” it’s very clear it’s Jesus not the Father saying it. “I say unto you”, if he were speaking as a prophet he would say God says unto you or thus saith the Lord.

Yes people used to be forced to recant, tortured, or put to death for not believing such things. Thank God neither the church nor the bible are so infallible anymore.

If Satan is behind the heliocentric theory I wonder what kind of game God and Satan were playing back then? Which one said” hey I bet you I can get that fellow to recant”, or ” I…[Read more]

What”tickles the ears” of many Christians is hearing they are the last generation, but every generation including Jesus’s has been.

I used to wonder how God can be said in the OT to make the blind and deaf and mute and curse people with all manner of sickness and disease yet in the NT these things appear in most instances to be the work of the devil. And how can the earth be the Lord’s and the fullness thereof yet the devil has been given the kingdoms of this world and can…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

I read a few of your posts and I understand and agree that if God can’t keep his heavenly sons then he can’t keep mere men either.I even heard a sermon years ago by a preacher harping against the”once saved always saved”doctrine which he based on this very subject of fallen angels.He was saying that one could go to heaven and because of…[Read more]

It sounds to me like they are still trying to pin a conspiracy with Russia on him. Tbh I don’t pay that much attention but I’m glad we got him over Hillary.

In Jude 1:6 when it speaks of the angels who left their first estate,is not the meaning clear that they left their heavenly/spiritual state for a fleshly one so they could cohabitate with women. So either these beings were spirits who of their own will could become flesh or they were flesh from the beginning and just descended from above the…[Read more]

I heard there is a betting line in Las Vegas on whether Trump will be impeached within his first year as president and they have the odds at over 50%. If he were to be impeached would that mean he wasn’t chosen by God? or perhaps like Saul he was chosen by God then rejected?

People like to say the sons of God in Gen 6 were angels instead of  acknowledging them as gods.These were the sons of El or his counsel of gods-the”us”who made man in their image. And they must have been very manlike indeed to have sex with women just like the Greek gods from Olympus and the book of Enoch even says they taught men arts and crafts…[Read more]

Jael,

You should really follow your own advice and quit reading your strange ideas into the bible and your false accusations into others posts.

Like when John says begotten it really says adopted,or have you changed your mind on that? or God is a title and not a person? when the bible mentions God it’s most usually referring to the Supreme Being…[Read more]

Jael,

I only mentioned baptism and Matt 28:19 in response to you asking me about how trins think.I don’t care either way but Matt 28:19 is legit as scripture in my mind since it is in the bible and all the manuscripts read that way and many early Christians did use that formula.And “in the name of” probably means in the authority of. You know I…[Read more]

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;…[Read more]

I agree that Matt 28:19 is not teaching the trinity but have no doubt that it’s original to Matthew based on all manuscript evidence and the fact that many early Christians used this formula to baptize; the Didache,Justin Martyr,Irenaeus,Tertullian,and Hippolytes all taught this form of baptism as from apostolic tradition.

I’ve read where people…[Read more]

It also helps that we get the inside scoop from the gospels on Jesus secret teaching that the unfortunate reprobate Jews of Christ’s time didn’t get.

As for what trins think about God of course it varies and it’s not right to throw everyone under the same bus.Most common people don’t think about it all that much and don’t pretend to be theologians,but many are truly devoted to what they believe.And there are different understandings of the trinity as there are on most all theological issues.But…[Read more]

Jael,

Furthermore even if Jesus be an ethereal God man with no human lineage he could still be the messiah for some.In the time of Jesus their were various theories on it as there are today and I think it possible that even Jesus in Mark expresses the idea that Christ may not be from David when he says in   Mark 12:35 And Jesus answered and…[Read more]

Lu,thanks for the link and I did read it,but tbh it doesn’t help solve the problems.I’ve read many things and everybody has their ways of explaining everything away,Christans and Jews alike.I’ve even been on Jewish sites,non-Christian ones and asked them to explain some of their theories on Messiah that seem absurd to me and just hard to…[Read more]
