Quote (kejonn @ April 22 2008,11:36)I apologize to those with weak stomachs .Oh! Dear God! My son is Korean and so I can only imagine that these images are of him!No apology necessary, Kevin. At least not where I am concerned. If the OT is saying that God perhaps caused this to happen, then it's something we should look at straight in the…[Read more]

Quote (david @ April 22 2008,13:20)Quote Otherwise God's behavior seems very unloving towards his children.  Otherwise we are better parents than he is! God's behavior is always loving towards “his children.””The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Everyone who does not carry on righteousness does not originate…[Read more]

Sorry to have so many posts in a row here, guys.I was thinking today as I was going through the bank drive-thru, why do so many Christians songs go like this, “I am so unworthy…..”, and “Save a wretch like me…..”.Why are we so bad? Why are we so unworthy to have God's love and acceptance? He created us, for crying out loud!He knew sin would…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ April 22 2008,14:28)everyone is left to their own devices and no opinion is any better than another.I agree!It's not our fault, either. God was not clear. His Word can be interpreted many, various ways – and it is! Even among brother's of the same faith/sect, the message is slightly different.

Thanks, 94, for researching this. Nevertheless, the children were wounded at the very least. The crime doesn't seem to fit the punishment if you ask me.

By the way, I'm not picking on 94 (I love that brother and he has taught me a lot), I'm just using his viewpoint to show what believing the bible lock-stock-and-barrel will promote.

Cato,I couldn't agree with you more, and I certainly couldn't say it any better!However, you must know that your view, and mine, do not agree with the bible and the orthodox view of 94 and other's. Their message is that we are damned if we do not choose to follow the bible (i.e., God's Word). Once we hear God's Word (the bible), we are no longer…[Read more]

But our very “nature” was given from God. I have a hard time buying that one puny man, Adam, decided for us all what our nature will be. And that God judges us by this nature that we were handed….not by choice….but because one man decided to disobey God!I'm finding it more and more ridiculous the more I think about it. Geesh.

Quote Yeshua came in the flesh, he was not part flesh, he was fully flesh and blood.So you put no stock in the fact that he had a flesh mother but a spirit father? Doesn't the father provide the seed by which a new individual is made? The father provides other things as well determining the sex, and the blood portion for the cells dividing (but…[Read more]

Good morning, Jodi.  I can see you've been busy!  Whoops! I pushed the wrong button. I wasn't ready to post yet. OK, so see below post. This one will just be a “Good morning” post! I better have some more coffee first!

Quote (Cato @ Feb. 12 2008,02:50)Premise:  Most Christians do not believe in or are silent on pre-existence of human souls.  Souls come about at conception or sometime after this, but before actual birth.  Then during it's life it is given an opportunity to know and believe in Jesus  Christ as son of God, and based on this belief and perhaps a les…[Read more]

Thanks, Irene!

Hi Jodi,Yes, I remember that you and I had a few conversations about this topic.Quote Yeshua was given powers of Yah, like Moses was temporarily given some of Yah's powers.But remember that Moses ruled over the house of God as a servant. Jesus rules as a Son. There is a difference in their status to God. What do you think that status might…[Read more]
