WjMost people believe that when they read Gen. 1:1, that was the beginning of creation.Think about it, would God have created the earth in such a chaotic state knowing he was about to create plants, trees, animals, and man on it? Would the earth in that state, be something for the angels to shout about?Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the…[Read more]

Nick2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God wants all to be saved, that was his plan, but God also knew there be those who would reject him.Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 12 2009,09:44)God has not…[Read more]

NickSo, you're saying, Abraham did not need a savior? I'm sure you are familiar with Heb. 11, here is what Paul says at the end.Hbr 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: Hbr 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. I hope you're not…[Read more]

NickGod will only show mercy to those that will repent. That is what grace is, undeserved forgiveness, but if you repent and ask God for forgiveness, he will grant it for Christs sake because that is what Christ died for. Therefore, all that come up in the second resurrection, all that are still in their graves, have to first understand what it is…[Read more]

SamualI appreciate your reply on the seven trumpets.An army 200 million strong?I did not say it could not be possible; the question is, would it be necessarily? Also, today were military is being deployed over oceans; do you think a river would cause a problem to cross?The woman sitting on the beast in Rev. 17:3 is the whore of v. 1, she…[Read more]

Marty I am completely sure that Christ did exist before He became to be a Human, as much as I want unity. I just can't explain all the Scripture any other way, then what I have been saying. If preeminence means first in all, He was brought forth by the Father. He is a literal Son of God. The only Son of God while we are adopted Sons of God, born…[Read more]

kerwin  I sometimes have problem understanding what people mean if they do not directly come out and say so. I like a direct responds and not going around the bush. If you want to give someone a compliment do so. By saying rephrasing what Jesus said, is a compliment to someone other then He? I wonder how many understand that. Irene

I would like to come in here too, because I like unity. I just can't seem to see what Rev. 3:14 could say something else. I have struggled with this after a J.W. told me about it. I also ask myself can we explain John 1:1 when the Word was with God. And the Word made all, the Word that was with God and was God. God the Father also called the Word…[Read more]

NickThat is work, so is Paul lying when he said?Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: You say by works, Paul says by faith; these dead don't even know who Christ is, and yet Christ died for them too, so again, how can they get their name into the book of life?The ones you're talking…[Read more]

NickWho is talking about the sons of righteousness. Did you not say all the rest of the dead will come up after the millennium? They are the ones we were talking about. For once, stay with the subject, you're going to cause me to loose my crown yet.Georg

NickShow me the scripture that says, we are saved by our works.No, I did not say eternal fire; why can't you ever stay with what I said, you are a spinner; I will put you on Bill O'Reilly's program, he will stop you from spinning; I said eternal death.Well, not that this is going to do any good for you, but maybe there are others that read this…[Read more]

kerwin   You my Friend need to check out what the Scriptures says literal. You seem to never agree much with others and your posts are Laodiceans.Mine is from God in Ephesians 2:9` and that is not a rephrasing, it is a statement from God. What makes me rather sad that you are so luck-warm. Never encouraging, at least I have not seen it, so My…[Read more]

SamualMost preachers I know, and have heard on TV, believe the story of “Lazarus and the rich man” to be true; showing this is proof, that when you die you either go to heaven, or you go to hell.What has never been explained is, why? Why did the beggar go to heaven, and why did the rich man go to hell? Is being rich a sin? I don't think so,…[Read more]

kerwin Don't you think that one has to be born from above in order to understand the things of God. We are under the New Covenant and that means that we are under grace. Salvation is a free gift from God by Faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. So nobody can boast. But that doesn't mean we can just slug around and be lazy. Our Job is to grow to become…[Read more]

kerwin I do not know why you say even those that celebrate Christmas and Easter. So you believe that all those Holidays are Christians. Rev. tells us to come out of that system and worship in Spirit and in Truth. Christ was not born on Dec. 25 but a Pagan King was. Check your Encyclopedia. That is the whole problem all go by tradition. Peace and…[Read more]
