Quote (Stu @ Feb. 28 2008,19:30)Why does 'he' make it difficult for those of us most prepared to use the mental faculties he supposedly created for us?Contrary to poplular belief here, I believe that God digs folks who use their brain for reasoning. Abe was a smart man. God said to him, “….come on, let's reason together….”. Abe was a friend…[Read more]

Cato,Are you that wise man in your Avatar? I think so.Yes, you have a lot of good things to say. I like it.Have a great day, Cato!Mandy

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 28 2008,18:47)You know the other disappointing thing for me is that there is no good argument against atheism here.Fear motivates a lot of folks to stick with what they have been taught or once convinced of. Everything else is of the devil and will cause them to lose their salvation.Entertaining ideas other than Jesus for a…[Read more]

I suppose because God is not material; he is not like his creation because he is not created. He is spirit; he is invisible.

BTW, Nick, I still love ya. We're talking about serious things here and I'm pressing you for an answer for your belief….but I still respect you. I just think that you are avoiding my question for a deeper reason than you don't think I have the spirit!

Then we can dialogue.So Nick you would be unsure whether the second coming is scriptural, then?  Do you have no opinion, or are you saying it will definitely happen because you know, due to your…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 28 2008,18:19)Read again. You need the Spirit. Then we can dialogue.Spare me, Nick.Your posts are becoming more and more laughable, truly! Are you who “doesn't know much” now capable of discerning whether or not I posses the “Spirit”?I know it may be hard for you to believe, but God has extended his spirit to me as well…[Read more]

Thanks, Irene.I guess I'm asking a question that I really already know the answer to. For nowhere is it written of the promised Messiah that he would come once and accomplish his mission partially, and then come “again” to accomplish the rest. It simply is not written anywhere in the prophesies.The underlying begging of the question is, why then…[Read more]

Quote (seek and you will find @ Feb. 28 2008,17:39)Mandy!  Is there anything I can help you with? If you tell me what exactley it is, I will ask my Husband to help us. He really has a good understanding of the scriptures. I know you said that the Old Testsament does not line up with the New. You need to give me which scriptures?Peace and Love…[Read more]

At last you make no sense at all, Nick.I'm sorry, are you trying to help me? Or are you trying to make yourself appear superior and all-knowing?You've failed to answer the one and only question I've begged you to answer. Instead you want to banter. I do not want to play anymore. I am searching out God and listening to brother's and sister's…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 28 2008,16:17)Hi Mandy, Do you agree with Peter that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God?I used to, without question.I want to, but now I have a few questions that cannot be answered.My honest answer: I'm testing it and so far it is failing.

This is ridiculous, actually – I am asking for scripture so that I CAN believe. If you were able to produce scripture regarding the second coming, I certainly wouldn't oppose it, I would joyfully accept it.Face it Nick, you're grasping for anything at this point to not have to say you don't know, or worse, that the scripture/teaching is not a…[Read more]

You are not prepared in season or out of season, are you Nick.I am asking you why you believe. You have no answer?Please continue to study for yourself.

It sure will be interesting to see what happens to this dedicated group of believer's after April 17th and on through June.A couple of them have emailed me and I am utterly amazed at their dedication to this Mr. Weinland and his prophesies of doom. It depresses the hell out me personally. And I just don't understand why so many of them are…[Read more]

BTW, thank you Kejonn for starting this thread. It makes it alot easier to be a part of this forum with a general board we can respond to other's through.

But what is the truth?What is the truth of the second coming, Nick? Tell me, for God's sake and mine, tell me!”Test all things.” Have you tested the second coming? Is it true? If so, tell me where I can find this truth and I will believe.

Thomas had that luxury……he said he wouldn't believe otherwise. Jesus knew he needed more proof and he gave it to him. We don't have this luxury today.I don't need absolute proof because I don't beleive that exists. I do need honest answers, preferrably in english of the non-riddle variety.
