Quote (Oneway2besaved @ June 12 2006,13:59)I have read several verses in the bible that discourage women from preaching or being leaders in a church.  Let me know what you think.Those statements that discouraged women from preaching were written while the church was still under the old covenant. Under God's new covenant women are on equal ground…[Read more]

Jesus rose from the dead in His perishable body. His post resurrection body still had the holes in it which indicates that it still had the…[Read more]

Quote (Gene @ Feb. 20 2009,15:21)thethinker………..Question, if Jesus did not have the ability to sin, then why does he say ” whosoever OVERCOMES even as I have”. Please tell us what did he overcome if it was not sin. And if He was GOD then why did He say “not my WILL, But thy WILL be DONE. There was obliviously two WILLS One was His and One…[Read more]

Seeking said:Quote Is this a form of Panentheism?Related to Process Theology, panentheism is essentially a combination of theism (God is the supreme being) and pantheism (God is everything). While pantheism says that God and the universe are coextensive, panentheism claims the God is greater than the universe and that the universe is contained…[Read more]

Martian said:Quote In this process of posting sources, thinker has made statements that no man can be trusted and all sources are false.  Now He has modified that stand to be that all of  my sources are false and his ONE SOURCE is superior.To All,First, I never said that my source is “superior.” Second, I have shown in my post earlier today that t…[Read more]

Martian said:Quote If Christ was incapable of doing anything on his own initiative, then again He is different then the rest of humanity and again that conclusion denies him as our example.Well, the problem with Martian's hypothesis is that Christ was indeed different from the rest of us. I have already proved this but will repeat it,Quote For…[Read more]

Samuel said:Quote If you say that GOD can become whatever he wants.  To what extent to you make this statement?We know that GOD wants to be all in all.But…Are you trying to say that GOD can change in to something else?Samuel,I mean to say that God became whatever His people old covenant people needed in whatever the situation. His “becoming”…[Read more]

Martian,I will reply to the rest of your post later. I want you to first take special notice of my post immediately above inwhich I have provided the various sources that compiled the Heb-Eng Interlinear.Btw, I am sorry to read that you are having physical problems and I have offered  sincere prayers to God in your behalf. I trust that you…[Read more]

Martian said:Quote Let me begin by stating that thinker has continually eluded to ONE source (an online Hebrew interlinear) that states that YHWH means I will become. I have in turn posted many sources that stated that YHWH means He exists. I quoted several books from experts in the Hebrew language.Martian,You erred in thinking that The…[Read more]

Martian said:Quote To all,I would like to public ally apologies to thinker for what I can now see were personal attacks on him. I offer no excuses but will state that I have been under tremendous pressure because of physical problems, hospitalizations, pain and medications. This is also the reason why some of my posts seemed a bit disjointed.  It…[Read more]

To All,I told Martian that I did not want to pit source against source but that I would rather comment on Scripture in context. It seems that Martian does not consider Scripture to be a “source” in its own right. From here on end I am going to comment on Scripture in context. I am done with going head to head with Martian about sources. Martian…[Read more]

Martian said:Quote To show you how out of context thinkers words are, He makes a point to conclude that I must think Mosses rod was YHWH.  The word in Exodus 7:11 is HWH which means exist. And Mosses rod existed as a serpent.  Exactly right. Only when the “Y” is added on front does it mean He Exist, the name of God.I have no idea what Marti…[Read more]

Martian said:Quote All efforts to make EHYEH mean: “I will be,” “He will be,” “He who causes to be” or “He shall cause it to come to pass,” are all future tense which does not exist in the Hebrew language (see Robert Young's Bible Lexicon, p. 38; Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, Extra Volume, p. 626; and Canon S.R.

To All,Please note the word “Hayah” as defined by the Strong's Concordance #1961Quote hayah, haw-yaw; a prim. root ; to exist, i.e. be or become….Martian wants us to believe that the children of Israel were in bondage for 400 years and God merely says “I exist”. This would have been meaningless. But for God to say “I shall become” would mean…[Read more]

Martian said:Quote So personal attacks is all you can come up with?  What a joke. Where is your discussion on the etomology of the word. Where is your proof.

Quote (Debra @ Sep. 27 2006,09:43)Hi Onewaytobesaved.This topic has caused  confusion for me over the years.I'ts been an issue in my household, my husband dosn't believe women should preach in church, it's ok for us to do all the other stuff just not preach. He stands firm in this, he left the church we were both attending, because the pastor was…[Read more]
