Furthermore, Jesus is to be honored “even as” the Father because He is the Judge of men which was not true of the…[Read more]

To all,Brother Corinthian is an old friend of mine from another discussion board that has since closed. I am very happy to see him here though we are on extreme opposite sides of the Eschatological spectrum. He is a master at defending His eschatology. I'm sure we both have gotten better since we last put on the gloves.thinker

This dominion was lost to Satan at…[Read more]

Nick said:Quote Man is punished for wickednessTherefore, the sons of God were men.thinker

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 27 2009,09:53)Hi TT, Does scripture tell you this?So to be devout you cannot yet be a jew?Nick,I asked you to show from the book of Acts when a Gentile was commanded to be baptized. You've been challenged.thinker
