Quote (t8 @ Dec. 06 2007,08:16)TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: 1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptise cats. 2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair. 3) If your sister hits you , don't hit her back. They always catch the second person. 4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato. 5) You…[Read more]

But aren't the “devil and his angels” cast into the fire? If “satan” is our minds, who is being cast into the fire?

Quote (942767 @ April 17 2008,13:54)The punishment for disobedience was for disobeying defiantly.But the children and babies didn't disobey and yet they were not spared either.I've noticed Nick has taken a break today – maybe he's had with us?

Gone quite inside, sad smilesGod has turned his back, and each need to = a personal seeking for a face of God!God is still there, sis. He cannot turn his back on his children.

Because of my biblical indoctrination, I always figured it was a sin.I had a friend once who was a girl but looked and acted like a boy. People even mistook her for a boy. One lady at church even asked me who my new boyfriend was? This girl later said she was a lesbian. It didn't surprise me. I tried to tell her it was sin. She just told me…[Read more]

WJ,It's good to see your light on again. I see you are back in full-swing here. Press on, bro!Love,Mandy

But the OT was not completely written when Jesus was walking the earth. Which books did they have?

Tim,I remember when I first started to talk to people about the Trinity, and I would say, “Have you noticed that the God of the OT is very different in personality than that of Jesus? Most could not see it. They didn't get it.I guess I didn't really either.
