Bro 94,Thanks for the shot of encouragement and kind words!In my 20's I volunteered at a Christian drug rehab center. I saw plenty of lives completely transformed after a simple alter call; amazing restoration to individuals and their families because of Jesus. “Nothing but the blood of Jesus” we used to say in those days! And I believed every…[Read more]

Cato – welcome!There is something familiar in your writings……Anyway, nice quote. We're glad that you are here.Mandy

Bumped for Isaiah

Hi Isaiah,I'm pretty tired tonight, I've been listening to a lot of audio from the site you recommended OR thought that Tow got his material from. I've also been looking at the scriptures you shared and your comments. I have a few questions for you.Quote …..that the Messiah comes more than once, and in two different fashions. The first time as…[Read more]

Judge for yourself: Did Jesus fulfill ALL these criteria?The Jewish tradition of “The Messiah” has its foundation in numerous biblical references, and understands “The Messiah” to be a human being – without any overtone of deity or divinity – who will bring about certain changes in the world and fulfill certain criteria before he can be…[Read more]

Hey WJ,I'm sorry I stepped on your toes! I certainly didn't mean to (I hope you know that). The reason I bring up moving from Trinitarianism to where I am now is because it took changing my faith to do so. Some would say that you shouldn't study or question to change your views and/or dogma. While that may be true, the same folks who don't…[Read more]

See, I don't know Nick. That is what I'm trying to find out. That is what I am studying now and looking for in the OT scriptures.You would think that if God was going to send a Redeemer for his children that it would be laid out clearly so they would know him? Or at least the instructions for his coming, going, and then coming again would be…[Read more]

Kejonn,Possibly Isaiah wants you to take a break because it's a bit painful when iron sharpens iron……sparks do fly!

You say, “….not that I believe that every little thing in the Bible is “God's word” but the whole of scripture is our safeguard.”Fair enough.What “little thing in the Bible” may not be God's word then? Perhaps John 1:1? Perhaps some other major scripture that defines our common dogma? Most are not interested in constant growth. Most are…[Read more]

94,Yes, I was pretty on edge for the past 6 months – not knowing if I was going to die almost immediately or if I was going to live as long as the LORD deemed. It turned out that I didn't have a tumor at all. Although a few Doc's disagree and think the tumor could be “hiding” but I'm not going to live my life in fear. Blessed be the name of our…[Read more]

Thanks, Isaiah!I'm going to study everything you posted tonight (including the great link – thank you)!My main concern was that the prophesies did not speak of a second return upon which the Christ would fulfill these things. I confess, that is confusing.Thanks again, I really appreciate the time it took to put this together! I'm really going to…[Read more]

Brother Chap,We all need attention and to know that we are loved. Please know that you are loved and no one would like to see you leave. You have been very loving and humble. You bring fresh perspectives to topics. You are an important member here at HeavenNet.Love you bro,Mandy

God gives grace to the humble but opposes the proud.

Ah…..Paul……be nice!!I'm glad Kejonn is here! He asks questions that I would like to know the answers to. He's searching. He's trying out new beliefs and things he's learned. He's daring to have new doctrine. Some of us are so rusty from staying in one place that we couldn't even imagine a new relationship with God.Let him speak his…[Read more]

I can vouch for Irene because I have received private emails from her under both user names, and it's THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS. Chap, you have also asked me about this and I told you what I knew then. I think you are being a bit paranoid, brother. If someone had “taken over her account” as you think, “they” wouldn't be able to use the very same…[Read more]

Quote (acertainchap @ Jan. 28 2008,00:53)Kenrch did what was right for God and did not deserve to be unable to chat on these forums. I know that he got angry at times, but if he's unable to post, then I ask that my rights be taken away as well because kenrch never let me down and offered great incite into scripture that has helped us in more ways…[Read more]

Hi Sevena – welcome!We are many faiths here and we all learn from one another…….I also believe that Jesus is the Son of God and not God himself. However, I do not believe that he existed in heaven as an angel before he was born Jesus, the Christ.

Quote (kejonn @ Jan. 25 2008,11:55)Quote (Not3in1 @ Jan. 24 2008,17:52)Have you ever wondered why Jesus didn't tell his disciples to write what he taught for later generations?  Jesus obviously appreciated the OT and he knew his mission was part of the plan……God wrote the 10 Commandments…..why didn't Jesus leave any writings behind?Most of…[Read more]

Irene,People take “breaks” from HeavenNet from time to time. Since I have been a member I have had 3 little breaks. It gets intense and sometimes it's good to get back to “reality” and away from the computer. But if you really enjoy it, don't let other's get you down (including me)……remember the JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH.
