Quote (Jodi @ Aug. 01 2007,06:56)Jesus was called God’s only Son because he never was a child of wrath, he knew good and evil, but he did not ever take of evil. He only followed God’s Spirit of wisdom, and thus took of the Tree of Life.I like this interpretation very much.But I believe that Jesus is called God's ONLY Son (even tho he had many son…[Read more]

Quote (Jodi @ Aug. 01 2007,06:56)Not3in1, do you or do you not believe that Jesus is fully human? If you do, I don’t see how you could think that God’s literal substance is in Jesus.Is it required to believe that Jesus is “fully human”?  Where is this written?John 3:9No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in h…[Read more]

Quote (Jodi @ Aug. 01 2007,06:56)If I have heard you right, you believe that Jesus is God’s only legitimate son, everyone else is just adopted.Does not Luke 3:38 raise a problem with that belief though …son of Adam, son of God> this does not sound to me like Adam is being considered as an adopted son.Did Jesus die for Adam?

Quote (Jodi @ Aug. 01 2007,06:56)Jesus was conceived to be a human being, and he was a human being. If you look up conceive in the Lexicons and the dictionary you will find that Jesus being conceived would mean a sperm and ovum coming together to form a zygote. The simplest definition is to become pregnant. Jesus was conceived as a human being…[Read more]

I agree that we are all still evolving, to some degree. But to what degree? If we came from the fishes, then became apes, then became human……..what will we become next? To a very large degree I am showing my ignorance here (but I don't mind if you don't mind ).

Hi AJ,You send a post to “t8” in the “Help Desk” and ask.

You say, “…not impossible to know the past.”  Not impossible, no.Personally, I have been discouraged by many well-meaning loved ones and friends when they say, “You can't know everything” or my personal favorite, “Greater minds than ours have pondered it, and we should just trust their results.”  Can't they see that this just squelches the i…[Read more]

True, KJ, but if you could have pressed through it would have given you some useful insight to our friend, AJ. Plus, I learned a thing or two. Hey, I listen to a lot of things here that I think are “wacked” but I keep coming back! ha!

If you stay here long enough you will also see that the reason I scored fairly well is because I *also* base a lot of my beliefs on logic and reason.  Oh, and by the way, I majored in Psychology…I could have received 0 hits/0 bullets if I wanted to, I knew what they were asking for (ha), but I had to be true to my answers even though they…[Read more]

Quote (A4J @ July 31 2007,16:21)i believe in only of what has proof, or evidence…Do you believe you will wake up tomorrow morning?What evidence do you have that this will happen?What proof is there that your heart will keep ticking till the dawn?

AJ,I went to the link you provided earlier and read the article that Penn wrote. Very interesting.I'm sure you've read the scripture, “It's impossible to please God without faith.”? Because without faith, you cannot believe that God exists. An imaginary friend? No. I don't personally believe so. You see, I have “evidence” that God is real.…[Read more]

AJ,You say, “…everything else makes sense…..”I'm wondering, is it the Trinity teaching that does not make sense to you, and perhaps why you have given up on the idea of a heavenly God? If not for this reason, why have you determined in your mind that there is not God? What is your evidence that there is no God? Thanks.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 31 2007,15:53)Hi not3,I think we should let scripture decide who are sons.As I said, “according to scripture….”Genesis 15
