Quote (Gene Balthrop @ April 29 2008,17:24)But notice the deciples Jesus choose didn't leave Him they all stayed, why because God was causeing then to remain because He choose them to be Apostles and none of them went back did they. God simpley was not calling those who left at that time. So they chose what was all ready in them, and that caused…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ April 29 2008,15:59)And as i have mentioned before Jesus told His deciples they didn't choose Him He Choose then where's free will there.Jesus also asked the disciples if they wanted to leave him? After he explained the eating and drinking many left Jesus and no longer followed him. He turned and asked his dudes if they…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ April 29 2008,11:33)Mandy, there is nothing you can do to “tick me off”. I love you and want the very best that God has to offer for you and your familyBro,Thank you.

Quote (942767 @ April 29 2008,09:21)No, God does not kill his children as He is falsely accused.  He does correct His children as any parent who loves his childrenSo you agree, along with David, that those God had “ordered” to be killed were not his CHILDREN. And I suppose therefore it was justified? Hogwash. Innocent babies are counted among…[Read more]

Quote It's your choice. I believe that you are looking a this all wrong. God is offering you forgiveness for your sins and a wonderful life if you want to come and learn the principles that he will teach you so that you and your children, if you will teach them, can be blessed.Which “principles” should I teach my children, 94? The clear ones…[Read more]

Quote (seek and you will find @ April 28 2008,11:05)Mandy Jesus was a spirit Being when He was the Word. He only became physical when He became a Man. No interpretations, it is clear scripture. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and He was with God. And then He became flesh. No trinity, if you know that God is a Family and…[Read more]

Quote (seek and you will find @ April 28 2008,04:05)Where was Jesus, With Him.Bingo.This is the debate. How was Jesus “with” him. Too many interpretations to say for sure that Jesus was physically present in any capacity.

Bro 94,I just had a pretty long post where I quoted you and answered you, but I pushed the wrong button and it got erased. So be it.

Theo, good point to ponder.I believe that if you call yourself a Christian – you should use the NT as your guide for living and following the rules therein. And we are told that the disciples water baptized people. We are told that people believed, they were baptized, and they were “added” to their number. Why should baptism today be…[Read more]
