Gene said:Quote Thinker……..You are right laws do teach, just like our Speed laws they teach us how to drive safely, but they by no means can make you a safe driver.Exactly!! The ten commandments can make no one righteous. It shows us that we are sinners. Paul said that there is no law against the fruit of the spirit. In other words, the fruit…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 23 2009,09:33)Hi TT, Do you have any evidence to back up these thoughts?Did the other son of Abraham have no relationship with him?Hey Nick,Did the “other son” of Abraham have the special relationship that Isaac had?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 23 2009,08:52)Hi tt, Was Isaac the ONLY son of Abraham?Nick,Thanks for helping me to prove my point. Isaac was not Abraham's “only” son. Therefore, the expression “only begotten” in reference to Isaac had nothing to do with his origin. It had to do with his relation to Abraham. So Christ's title as “only begotten” had…[Read more]

Nick said:Quote Hi tt,There is no universal acceptance of the root of GENESNick,It's not accurate to say that there is no universal acceptance of the Greek “genes”. It is better to say that the meaning of the word varies depending on its use in context. John 1:1 explicitly says that the Word was “God”. Then it says that He was the true light and…[Read more]

So How could God become Jesus and Have a different Will then His own. And if he did not have a desire to sin then How was He tempted in all manor as we are then. Jesus overcame…[Read more]

before Time said:Quote The resurrection I’m suggesting is spiritual (coming to life) while still in a breathing physical body. John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.

Quote (Gene @ Feb. 22 2009,16:54)the thinker………That is exactly what i am saying , we obey the commandments , not by works of Law, but by the Spirit of GOD through a new and living way. We need to define law Ex 20:20,  what do we mean by (works of Law), So that requires us to explain how Law work. How does Law work is it not through the…[Read more]
