You bettcha! As you have taught, Christmas is a pagen holiday anyway; just a bunch of drinking and suicides……

Believe me, I've asked. You have no idea. I guess maybe I didn't ask correctly? I'm looking for my decoding glasses but I can't find them yet. Maybe I can order another pair online?Sorry for the snide remarks. I do confess now to being a bit angry. A bit angry because I have spent the past 4 to 5 years studying the bible and being convinced…[Read more]

“Don't doubt”, “Don't question”, “Greater minds than you have figured this out, follow their creeds”, “Those who doubt will receive nothing from God”, “Don't ask why”……..The opposite of doubt is certainty – an assured fact. Isaiah believes that the bible teaches the Trinity as an “assured fact” that he can base in scripture. You do not hold…[Read more]

Thanks, Nick. But it falls short.We are to grow in knowledge, and depth of insight. I would imagine this means that we are to not discard information that may challenge what we have already taken in as truth. I guess we could and just call it “having faith”? I guess we could say we are “choosing to stand” no matter what! We could….. But…[Read more]

Back to a better subject…..the COVENANTS!Sorry, on behalf of those of us who have hi-jacked this thread for a while. It happens.

Quote (kenrch @ Jan. 14 2008,03:08)Their are no absolute truths in the bible. The bible is not a college text book. It cannot be read as such you need the Spirit to understand the message for YOU!This is profound. I will ponder this today, thanks Ken.It sort of reminds me of the mirror that Harry Potter found….he saw what he was intended to…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 14 2008,04:39)Hi, We have come to a part of the way where mockers stand than throw stones.Their ridicule is merciless but they do not walk in the light.The stones are accusations that:To follow Christ is foolish.Faith is childishness.Miracles are impossible.Most people do not walk here.The Word of God is not sacred.Our…[Read more]

Irene, you can disagree if it makes you feel better, but you do have your own version. If you were to write out all your beliefs on a single page….I'm sure it will be different from other's. Why do you think that is? You all have the same source you are drawing from (the Bible), you all have the same Spirit guiding you? How can you come up…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 13 2008,19:53)Hi not3, So there is no truth?Jesus would disagree as he said the word is truth.T8 and I plead for truth to be taken only from scripture and if unclear tested against other scriptures.“….and if unclear…..”You'll have to forgive me for laughing a bit here. Nick, the bible is NOT CLEAR. Hello? Honestly…[Read more]

If you are questioning the truth which you have, then you did not have it in the first place. I know for 100% that the trinity Doctrine is wrong, therefore I…[Read more]

Goodnight bro.Sweet dreams,Mandy

That was a beautiful answer! Thanks, Stu.

THEN I wasn't searching, Ken. NOW I am. When you are searching you must be a detective, of sorts. A detective is going to press in and ask questions that make one feel uncomfortable. But I'm asking these questions to solidify what I already know OR to let go of what I thought I knew…… In the end, I just want God. I'll give-up anything I…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 12 2008,18:41)Quote (Not3in1 @ Jan. 12 2008,17:55)“….the essence of truth.”  Interesting.You say the bible is truth yet…….all these things that have goofed it up.  Hmmm  See, I just can't buy that for a dollar anymore.  The reason is that if the bible is truth AND inspired of God (that's a a biggie), then how com…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Jan. 12 2008,18:33)it is true for me (don't ask!) and it is true for you too. Actually I did ask…..in the thread “Questions for Stu” – but maybe you haven't had time to take a look, or maybe you are just blowing my question off. It's OK, really. It is a nosey question and really none of my business. I'm just curious about you…[Read more]

As for Stuart and Tow, I can not say anything as to their spiritual condition – I am not privy to their heart status.Did I taste…..Did I have…… You speak in past tense form as if these things no longer apply to me. Are you privy to MY heart status with God? Of course not! You are merely worried that I have lost it all and abandoned ship.…[Read more]

Quote (seek and you will find @ Jan. 12 2008,18:09)if you put the right pieces together it makes senseThat is a mighty big if.Especially considering your life depends on whether or not you are good at putting puzzles together. What about the simple-minded folks?Look, I've been trying to put the puzzle together for nearly 4 years straight now, and…[Read more]

Sure, Ken, I understand.Seeking and searching are not for the faint of heart. It can get ugly. It's definitely not the safe route – there are dangers.Just don't forget to practice what you preach, OK? What is the greatest commandment?
