It certainly has been “….kept secret…..” from God's people! I wonder why?At any rate, for the NT to answer the question regarding Jesus is no wonder. I am given a check in my spirit that God is real. When I look around me at his tremendous creation, I know that he IS. Even a member of a remote tribe somewhere in the mountains of India…[Read more]

Heavens,Thank you for this!Mandy

Hi Nick,But if it was in God's secret plan all along that we should know him AND his Son, wouldn't he have made it obvious to everyone in the world by his creation that this is so (so that we are without excuse)? The problem is, we cannot look at nature and see Jesus. We see God, but not his Son. We have to learn about his Son through the…[Read more]

I was wondering….The bible tells us that God gives us a witness that he is true through nature, and through the spirit that is within us, so that we are in fact without excuse. I was wondering, if we didn't have the bible, would we believe in God? I think so. But the real question is, would we believe in Jesus?

Will do, Nick.Thanks.

Thanks, sis.The Jews didn't recognize him because he didn't match their holy scriptures! This is cause for alarm, don't you think? Was God trying to trick his own people? Why did Jesus not match the promised Messiah in the OT?

Quote (seek and you will find @ Feb. 14 2008,01:56)Mandy in order to see what you are talking about please give me an example of scriptures. Not believing that Jesus is not the Messiah is a hard thing. You belief that He is of the N.T. but it does not line up with the O.T. In what way does it not line up, you have to give Scriptures to see what…[Read more]

Is it “Irene” or “Augusta”? I guess I'll just refer to you as “Mrs.” until I know for sure? Um, I really can't say whether or not I am a firm believer in Jesus the Messiah yet. This is what I am trying to determine. I can have faith and just quite searching and call it good, but now I almost feel like I am too committed to do that. Does that…[Read more]

Did God anywhere in the bible tell us why the bible should be written OR if it was a pre-purpose of his that a collection of books be recorded to tell his story from the beginning, and what we should expect in the future?I don't recall reading this anywhere and thought it was a bit concerning. Can anyone help? Thanks,Mandy

Heavens,I'm sure he won't mind either, plus t8 (who is also Heaven) is distinguished by a strong Avatar which is a yellow lion's head. You should be fine to stay as you are.Mandy

Well, I confess that I'm pretty tired and I did read the whole thing but I'm not sure if I understood it all. I believe I gathered that Panentheism believes that God is in all. Is this correct?I guess I would have to say that I don't believe that intirely because I don't believe God is in the evil things of the world. When I said I could see…[Read more]

Why is it a pigeonhole?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 25 2005,07:26)Many new members and guests are contributing valuable insights.A guest cannot post, can they? I often see that guests are indeed posting, but of course we never see what they write. Why is this? Does anyone know? Just curious….
