Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 19 2010,07:44)Hi TT, Indeed Paul and the brothers enjoyed the love of the Lord. They had found the kingdom.Your point being…? Ephesians 5:25 says that Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her. Keep it up Nick. You're helping me expose Jodi Lee's nonsense. If I were her reading this I would send you a pm and ask…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 19 2010,07:02)Hi TT,God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son.Jesus died for us because he loves his God.You did not exist.Nick,Thank you. You prove exactly what I am saying. Paul said:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 19 2010,06:24)Hi TT, You suggest Jodi is limited yet she expresses wisdom. You on the other hand do not know WHO God is yet.Nick,So you deny that Jesus died for you because He loves you?thinker

Mike said:Quote What promise to “our fathers” did Jehovah fulfill by raising Jesus from the dead?  He installed His King on Zion. (Psalm 2:6)  I think Paul quoted what Jesus said in Psalm 2:7 so we would understand that this Christ was indeed the Son of God that spoke in that Psalm.Mike,Of course it means that Jesus is the Son of God as spoken o…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 18 2010,17:34)The Thinker,The missionary did not have the authority to send herself but rather depended on the missionary organization to supply that authority.  She was still willing to go whatever the missionary organization decided.Kerwin,Agreed. The same is true of Jesus. He did not have to come into this world to suffer…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 18 2010,16:03)Hi Thinker,Why is it that any time someone talks about the Scriptural fact that Jesus was sent by his God, you go on a rant about how we don't appreciate Jesus?  Just because we know that Jesus is not nor has ever been God Almighty doesn't mean we don't appreciate, value and love what he has done for us and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2010,14:34)Hi TT, So the God of Jesus sent him.Nick,The one wo existed in God's form made Himself nothing and took the form of a servant.

Quote (Elizabeth @ Mar. 18 2010,14:37)thinkerGood comparison; I don't think Jodi understands why Jesus had to die, who he came to ransom, and what a ransom is.GeorgHey Georg,Thanks! It's nice that we agree every once in a while.thinker

Jodi lee said;Quote Jesus did not send himself out into the world to preach the gospel to heal the sick and to die for us on the cross. TO ALL:Jodi Lee's comment above reflects how blind to scriptural revelation she is and how one dimensionally she thinks.No one disputes that the Father “sent” Jesus into the world to die for our sins. But she…[Read more]

Mike said:Quote First, God didn't say, “This is my soon to be Son…”  Second, Peter and the other apostles were “eyewitnesses” to the fact that Jesus was the Son of God while he was on the earth, before he was raised.  In fact, Jesus said he would build his church on Peter's revelation that he was the Son of the Living God.Mike,You are correct t…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 16 2010,14:26)Hi Thinker,I already like this point by point better.John 3:16-17 says:Quote 16″For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through…[Read more]
