WJ,We must have been posting at the same time.I'll show you what I mean tomorrow – there is a difference. You may not agree with what I've found, but you'll be able to see why I think the way I do.Thanks,Mandy

GS,Forgive me but I'm too pooped to get out my study tonight and hash it all over in a post. We got back late from my daughter's softball game (we won), and I'm just too tired. I'm going to browse a little and then hit the hay. I'll try to post tomorrow on this.Thanks,Mandy

Hi Jodi,The beautiful weather you are experiencing has made it's sunny way up to Washington as well! It's gorgeous outside! I've opened all our windows and even have some reggae playing! Surf's up dude,Mandy

I know. Most Christians shutter at the idea that we can all live and let live. Because there has to be ONE WAY to truth – right? And that way is Jesus.Well………I'm beginning to think that God has made a broader plan for humanity. After all, America and Christianity is not the whole world. There is a broader perspective out there. I'm…[Read more]

GS,OK, cool. I'll be back later this evening to share what I've seen in Rev. regarding God and Jesus – and how there are two different “voices” that are heard. One is described as “rushing waters” whereas the other one is described as a “trumpet”. It's an interesting study. Now where did I put that study? Ha! I'll find it before tonight.I…[Read more]

Colter,Ask t8 for editing rights so you don't have to cut and paste your quotes.If you ask in the Help Desk area he will be sure to get it. It makes life a lot easier for you and for us when we read your posts.Mandy

Tony, are these your words? Where are you cutting and pasting from? Thanks.

Jesus is not the Almighty. No where is he considered such. No language of the bible proves this.Compare the KJV Rev. 1:8 with the NIV Rev. 1:8………….tell me what you see? There is a difference there.My mother has an old KJV (probably from the 50's) and guess what? Rev. 1:8 is NOT IN RED PRINT! What do you think this means? Curious,…[Read more]

Irene,Yes, everyone needs to be certain for themselves. This is true.That is why I have come to adopt a more “coexist” theme for living. There can be many different theologies that mix well together. And who is right? Well, that is up to the individual.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ May 16 2008,05:01)gsilva…….the alpha and omega of what, I contend it means the first and last of God creation of man into his Image, Jesus was the first, to achieve it, and the last will be just like Him. He is how it begins and ends with us all. The absolute example to us.Most people think that refers to all things but…[Read more]

Sure! God made everything with his Son in mind.

Just wanted to bump this for those who may not have got chance to look at the articles I posted from a website – they're good!

by = throughIt is possible to accomplish things *through* the future plan of something/someone.

The debating doesn't confuse me, however the evidence of those debates sometimes cannot be ignored. Some choose to ignore the evidence and they are the ones that go along happily as if nothing has changed. I can not do this. I hear what Tow, Kejonn and other's say and I've checked into it…..I find that they have valid points. The arguments…[Read more]

Good morning, GS,I'd like to share something with you, although it is not popular theology amongst HeavenNet'ers.My version of John 1:1, using my son, Nathan, and my husband, Dan, as examples:In the beginning was Nathan, and Nathan was with Dan, and Nathan was Dan. It is my contention that Jesus is the literal Son of God. A Son who was conceived…[Read more]

Irene,Second Sopr. here, and I've been known to sing the tenor parts on duets before. I love singing harmony versus the melody.

Did the virgins need the spirit and they ran out of “it”?How could they go buy more?Was the spirit (oil) needed to greet the bridegroom?These are the things I'm wondering about in regards to the virgins and their lamps (see Nicks posts).Thanks,Mandy

Reviewing this thread – some good stuff in here.
