Hi t8,I voted yes, as I think this format would help organize information better and be readily accessible as an outreach. IMO though, the Trinity Doctrine as all the false ones, is assumed and not inferred scripurally, for if it was inferred or implied, there would be some validity to it: this whole notion that God is a triune being which…[Read more]

Also an alternative that can apply in most planned surgeries, is to have the individual donate a portion of his/her own blood to be retransfused during surgery, just in case.I have also prayed that God puts me in no position (temptation) more than I can bear and so far so good, folks. His grace extends to my family too.

I abstain from blood per my belief in what I believe the scriptures to say on this.I also find it interesting how in today's modern society, particularly during the 1980s, strong associations have been made to the spreading of deadly diseases through “body fluids.” I found that to be a fulfilling of this scripture:1Cr 6:16 What? know ye not that…[Read more]

Quote (malcolm ferris @ June 10 2006,20:13)Does a WORD of God exist before it is spoken? good question.I believe it does, I believe God's Word comes from His thoughts.A word is a thought expressed.

Quote (Cubes @ June 07 2006,03:36)…Christ is now given to have life in himself, and this life is the cure for the first death which came through Adam.I wish to clarify this statement I made by adding that the life that Christ offers saves us from the second death, which has a worse consequence than the first.

Quote (malcolm ferris @ June 10 2006,12:43)Hi Cubes Again I believe it comes back to an understanding of what death actually is – death is separation. That which we call death – Jesus and Paul called sleeping.  (John 11:11, 1 Thess 4:14) Death is the separation of the soul from God our father. That is how the Pharisees could be said to be dead…[Read more]

Hi HiCitC:Under the Tindale and Tunsdale part of the article you linked us to, you mentioned a citizen of a rather modern nation (Pakistani) who assisted in the endeavor of publishing and providing bibles. I am wondering whether I have my history mixed up or if this was an oversight on behalf of the author?Thanks
