Quote (Gene @ Sep. 07 2009,16:20)eveh…….I believe we will be given new (BODIES) of Flesh and BONE (as Jesus Has). It will be an exact copy of our Human bodies, even to the number of hairs on our heads. We will look the same except it will be a body that will self regenerate for ever and cannot die.  And Spirit will be added into it and we…[Read more]

Yet I would say no man knows God's word or can speak for him. We can guess, extrapolate from what we see in creation, but quote the Almighty, I don't think so.

Quote (Jesus name follower of Christ @ Sep. 02 2009,23:19)the bible is true and hid to those who believe notWell I have heard the same concerning the Koran and the Book of Mormon, perhaps they are hidden from you because you don't believe enough.  It is always a poor argument to say you need belief or special divine understanding (the Holy…[Read more]

Perhaps the plurality of elohim is a relic of worship of the Canaanite El and his pantheon, Exodus 6:2-3 I revealed myself to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as EL Shaddai, but was not known to them by my name Yahweh.”

It is not garbage, it is a point to show that Islamic scripture venerates, but does not deify Jesus.  It is an interesting point showing how Islam and Christianity share many theological views, which is only natural considering that the basis of both is the God of Abraham, both arose from the same area of the globe, and the holy scripture of both…[Read more]

Quote (Cindy @ Aug. 28 2009,12:50)I have been reading most of the post made here.  I truly belief that a Homosexual relationship is not what God wants, and therefore I find it wrong.  The society has mostly accepted their practice, though.Which doesn't surprise me at all.  Whatever two married people do in their bedrooms however is excepted by Go…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 27 2009,01:19)Zs for your observations about all the good that has been done in a parallel time frame, that is truly a good thing, but the balance of good versus evil is not in my hands, it is in God's hands, and he has issued warnings after warnings, only to be dared and mocked.I guess when we have killed “enough” unborn, he…[Read more]

Dear CA,We have our resident athiest, JWs, fundamentalists of all stripes, pro and anti-trinitarians, etc., I myself often bring up points that mainstream believers would call heresy.  Why not a resident Catholic?  As far as the Bible, we do talk about other sources as well.  One member used to bring up the book of Urantia, I have mentioned the I-…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 26 2009,11:23)There was upon a time, a lofty and noble enterprise undertaken upon the shores of this nation. There has always been two natures at war with each other as the nation began to grow and prosper.From the beginning, our treatment of the natives has been atrocious, to the point of destroying almost any recognizable…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 25 2009,02:43)The writen scriptures are nothing but the dead letter of the word, and until the Spirit of God reveals the truths therein then you will only have chaos and confusion by carnal men with carnal minds trying to interpret them!The end will declare who is of the truth. IMO.The problem with this is that…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 25 2009,21:03)Maybe that lifestyle appeals to you guys as a natioin, but not here. OF COURSE I am speaking only of my nation. Did you fail to read the several times I reference the falling of a nation, referencing my own?I have heard this many times form various sources that proclaim we as a civilization or as in this…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Aug. 26 2009,00:07)God isn't male. God made man in his image, he made them male and female. Male and female together reflect more about who God is than either one on their own.God is called him because all comes from him. I think woman means “from man”. God is from no one, hence he is not referred to as female. Also man was made in the…[Read more]

While I sincerely doubt that God ordered the particular violent acts called on in the OT, I do view that violence or perhaps better termed destruction is part of God's plan.  Whenever we have creation in a temporal world we need also to have destruction or nothing will change.  When things, ideas, anything get old, decrepit they stand in the way o…[Read more]

In the ancient world observers saw that there were two great principles the active, light, masculine and the receptive, dark, feminine.  The great Yin and Yang, the intermixing of which brings forth the fruit of the universe.  In Jewish mysticism the universe came about as 10 eminations from the Godhead beyond, the first emination was Kether a m…[Read more]

Dear Apologist,You spend a lot of time covering Mary's claim as Mother of Jesus and so as you put it Queen Mother.  I don't think anyone is debating Mary's role as mother of Jesus.  The title Queen Mother is something new and is not in the Bible but added later.  The Title “Queen of Heaven” is in the Bible and clearly refers to the goddess As…[Read more]

In the Bible all references to the Queen of Heaven refer to the goddess Asherah not Mary!  Mary was  associated with the title only after the Council of Ephesus proclaimed her such. Jer 7:18 “The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes of bread for the Queen of Heaven.”Jeremiah 44:17- 19  …[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Aug. 25 2009,00:25)And THAT is wishful thinking at its worst. If it was acceptable in even a minority, it would already be the law of the day. But it is not.

So again what happened to the divine feminine in Christianity?  Father, no Mother.  Son no Daughter.  If God is above division why not appear as sexless, androgynous or hermaphroditic?  Spritual sexuality goes beyond biology it is about the active and receptive principles, yin and yang; why is there no balance in scripture?  It stands to reas…[Read more]
