Quote (david @ May 29 2006,03:21)Cubes, I will comment on the rest of your posts later.  I have to be somewhere now.davidNo rush. At your leisure.

Here's a thought:The kingdom of heaven is to be advanced without physical warfare.  It is intangible and spiritual in nature, attained by faith in the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore its warfare is similarly fought and won, unlike actual Israel which is a physical possession, and so sometimes defended physically.If Israel's mission w…[Read more]

Jonathan rocked!1 Samuel 14: 6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”7 So his armorbearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you,…[Read more]

How's it going, David?:Quote Quote  You quote:”I do believe that there are a couple of ways to stand against evil:….if necessary….(War)””there are the things that belong to Caesar that Christians must contend with and render, and that unfortunately, sometimes include warfare.”Cubes, in what way is this: 'not waging war as the world does'?In…[Read more]

Quote Quote The second and great commandment:  LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.This is predicated on 1) first loving yourself.  2)loving your neighbor as you love yourself.Question:  How are you going to love another person (2) without first loving and protecting person (1) ?  This is the simplest way I can express what I am trying to say.  Hi Cube…[Read more]

Hey Cubes. Hey David!You quote: “I do believe that there are a couple of ways to stand against evil:….if necessary….(War)””there are the things that belong to Caesar that Christians must contend with and render, and that unfortunately, sometimes include warfare.”Cubes, in what way is this: 'not waging war as the world does'?

John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou , Shew us the Father?1Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto…[Read more]

Who anoints and seals GOD?  Whose seal does he bear?Of Christ, the Son of God, it is written:John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: .for him hath God the Father sealed.Compare to us: 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Now He who establishes us with…[Read more]

In the biblical verse above (Mark 12:24f) and all the rest, it would be ridiculous but less so to say that Jesus claims to be Moses than to say Jesus claims to be God Almighty or a Triune God! After all, Jesus came as a man and a prophet and was killed as a Son and messenger of the Most High God.

Right, Nick:Below is another way in which Jesus clearly states that he is NOT Almighty GOD, nor a component of Almighty God!Mark 12:24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore *mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but…[Read more]

From May 16, 2006, Page 14 of this thread:Quote By DAVID: Hi Cubes.  I had thought you were from the U.S.  So if Africa and the U.S. go to war.  If for whatever reason we find that Africa just happens to be sitting on oil and they don't feel like sharing…..which direction will your gun be pointing and who exactly will you be defending?  I rea…[Read more]

Hi David:Regarding your posts on 2 Cor 10:3f:  I answered to that much earlier on in the other ?”love among all” thread in various ways:  Posted: May 03 2006,06:23…I do believe that there are a couple of ways to stand against evil:  righteous living by the people of God in any nation, prayer, love, and if necessary resistance and defense ag…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ May 21 2006,12:38)I prayed with a group of people yesterday at my home. After talking we decided to start from scratch and find out what the principles of true faith are. Jesus said the following:John 10:25Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me,John 10:38But if I do…[Read more]

Hi David, This is not the response due you but I couldn't help pondering on this scripture and wondering what the Samaritan would have done had he chanced upon the actual mugging and assault of the man?  a) Would he have stayed out of sight until it was all over even had he had a means to defend them bothb) joined the man from Jericho in…[Read more]

Amen, Nick.

FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY:  WHICH TRANSLATION IS SUPPORTED AND SUBSTANTIATED BY SCRIPTURE?(John 1:1-4)  In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by IT (WORD); and without IT (WORD) was not any thing made that was made. 4 In IT (WORD) was l…[Read more]
