Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 04 2008,06:14)Hi martian, We come to learn and not lecture.Brother Nick,Why do you constantly argue with the brethren? I have been viewing page after page and what I notice is mainly tit-for-tat conversations with YOU. Why is this? Is business slow?You may want to review the logs from when you were on vacation and…[Read more]

Irene,I will most definitely be praying for your dear husband! I hope that you both will receive good news. Good health. Keep us posted, OK?Love to you both,Mandy

Quote (kejonn @ April 03 2008,07:34)Quote Have you ever considered that Jesus was too powerful of a revelation that it was kept under hat? Read that again. Tell me if it makes sense.I was so tired when I wrote that post, sorry.What I meant was that perhaps there were many things written about Jesus but they were destroyed by those who didn't…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ April 03 2008,07:34)But I don't have to with God. He does not expect me, IMHO, to have to base my faith on Him via such a flawed creation of humanity. The bible is full of the biases of man and can in no way be inspired by a perfect loving God. It is too bigoted, sexist, and brutal.OK, I follow you. But if you don't have the…[Read more]

Quote (seek and you will find @ Mar. 31 2008,15:31)I want to bring this up again fpr Mandy. I have not seen Her post for a few days and my Husband did not know that, that is why He posted the article on Jesus, which I belief is really good ansd it might help Mandy, I hopeNo, I didn't see it. I've been pretty busy lately and really only checking…[Read more]

Again, we are not told how he existed in the “form of God”.We can fill in the blanks.As Nick has said, we can make scripture say anything we want to.

Yes, but scripture doesn't tell us how all things were created through him….Scripture never says that Jesus created anything by his hand, however it does say that God created everything alone, by his hand.Paul tells us there is but ONE “God” and that is the Father (and the Father is not Jesus).OK, really must go to bed now….:)

The Word became flesh, yes I know, however, God's ways are not like our ways. We do not know exactly how this “Word” became flesh. And so we do not know if the “Word” was the preexistent Jesus. It is one of many concepts or ideas, it is not absolute.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 30 2008,19:33)Hi mandy, His ideas are curious? Do you not have access to grace to endure?Just heading to bed….Not sure what you mean here, Nick?

Whew, I'm getting too tired to post anymore.  I just read my previous post and it barely make sense.  Hopefully you understood my point?  I better head to bed.Goodnight brother's,Mandy

Cato,I've always thought your Avatar was cool! And by the way, it suits you. David and Irene, I have a question for you both – what if Cato said he practiced witchcraft? Would you condemn him?How about you, Nick? Would you “….regard him not…” as the bible teaches?I wonder what the difference is between practicing witchcraft and telling a…[Read more]

Nick,So do you think the traditional reading of John 1:1 has been tampered with (added to)?

God used Judas to accomplish his will – do you think he will forever punish Judas?OR did Satan use Judas to accomplish his will?God also hardened Pharroah (sp) to accomplish his will. OR did Satan do that?Hmmm there seems to be some question as to who causes men to do evil or speak out against God? God or Satan?
