Good morning Kathi,Quote If you want to show me some real evidence, in other words, show me how you have tested my theories objectively in light of the original language and clear Bible passages and we can discuss it.This may offend you, of course I don't mean it to, but you seem very defensive. Only wanting to converse with those who seem to…[Read more]

Hi Tim,I just wrote a fairly long post regarding my hellish childhood living with my alcoholic parents, but then I deleted it. The memories are just too hard to revisit. I feel for you and your brother. I understand and lived the fear. Sometimes it still haunts me.Had my parents divorced that hell would have been over, but who knows about the…[Read more]

Hi Sister,You say that your theories stand up under tests, but I have not seen it here as I have followed along. In fact there are those who believe your ideas are Gnostic in nature, but I don't know about that.Keep your faith strong. Someday you may need to revisit this idea of the Son of God being the light….you may need to change your ideas…[Read more]

Quote (Cato @ June 12 2008,06:30)That I put my own personal life on display and open for comment and possible ridicule should point to my intentions.Thank you, Cato.

Quote (gollamudi @ June 09 2008,06:51)Thank you kathi,I think Mandy also thinking differently nowaydays you might have seen her post under “pre-existence”. May be she is thinking like you. When you have posted that Son of God was the light created by God on the day One, I really got agitated on your interpretations. Any how now we have to examine…[Read more]

Hi Ronald,I noticed you had a birthday recently.I hope it was a good one!Love,Mandy

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate your input and advice, especially your prayers.It's not easy to love someone who seems incapable of giving love back to you. My mother was a martyr for the cause, but I will not be. Mandy

Quote (gollamudi @ June 11 2008,15:31)Gene, You are forgetting that Nick was diagreeing with you when you quoted same thing in other topic.Adam,It's better to promote unity among the brother's than to point out differences, huh? Love,Mandy

Thanks Nick.I'll add “Sheol” to my list of studies. My list is growing every day. I'm a bit overwhelmed. I want to know it all – RIGHT NOW!

Nick and Jodi,You both have such a great debate going on…..too bad it's not in an appropriate thread……maybe someone can move your discussion to a thread where folks will find it. No one will look under, “Apology” for the good stuff you are talking about.Just an idea.

Quote (Is 1:18 @ June 10 2008,17:23)Quote (Not3in1 @ June 10 2008,08:02)Hi Isaiah,If you feel justified that is all that matters, I guess.I never really felt I needed to justify myself, hardly seems sinful to vociferously defend God's word or His character. Quote There is a time for everything.  I was just questioning the timing and the person…[Read more]

I guess it will be a surprise then, won't it?So many scriptures talk about death as sleep.I was taught to believe we went to heaven. But I don't see that in scripture.What I do see is that after we die, we sleep.

Quote (joejoe @ Nov. 25 2003,05:38)GOD CHOOSES MAN, MAN DOES NOT CHOOSE GODDo you deny the total depravity of man, and hold that the will of man is free and has the ability to choose Christ and the salvation that is in Him?  Such teaching is false and delusive since the Scriptures represent election as occurring in the past, irrespective of…[Read more]

Wow, Irene, your life as a child reminds me of the movie Narnia – have you seen it? The children were shipped off somewhere where there was no bombing.Oh my goodness, I just cannot even imagine the fear. I struggle with fear also, and so I understand you. But having lived through the era is just amazing. You must have a lot of other stories to…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 10 2008,02:33)Jesus did not put his confidence in His own WILL at all, but only in GOD”S WILL.This is a curious statement to me because I remember that Jesus prayed 3 times for the Father to let the cup pass from him. Perhaps he prayed, “Father, is there any other way?”. If so, was Jesus putting a tad bit of…[Read more]

Cato,No one knows the heart of another man. It's all speculation, at best.Yes, it's true.Mandy

Hi Adam,Quote When did Moses and Elijah were resurrected to become alive in spirit to appear to them?With God all things are possible. In the OT there was a prophet who was raised from the dead temporarily. He even said to who asked for him to be raised, “Why did you interupt my rest?”.
