Brother Tim, Of course it's frustrating, we have different views. But we both believe in One heavenly Father – do we not? It is to him that we pray – do we not? God marked out the heavens and created the earth and everything on it and below it. He did all of this *through* Jesus, his Son. I cannot be your sister because I believe these things…[Read more]

Spliting hairs (in/with) – both can mean to contain and have very similar meanings.A man's “word” is the expression of his “mind.”Where does God say that the word in John 1:1 is beloved?

Don't worry Tim, I don't have a voodoo doll with your name embroidered on it or anything I worship God Almighty. Who do you worship? His Son?I guess God Almighty “can't do anything to you” ? I'm confused? I think your false humility is causing you to error. Where does it say that if a brother or a sister does not profess Jesus is God…[Read more]

Do we not have our thoughts and purposes with us at all times?

William Tyndale was not so sure that John's “word” was on-to-one the equivalent of Chist pre-existing.  He renders the famous verses:  “In the beginning was the word , and the word was with God, and the word was God….All things were made by it….In it was life.”It seems strange that John 1:1-4, a handful of verses in John, and a few other NT p…[Read more]

Hi Ross,I'm a fan of Bullinger and also of Buzzard. But I would rather hear from you then to read through a post of someone else's work. I think you probably have some truth to share, too.

OK, funny story here…..ready?In March I sought out a Church of God Abrahamic Faith pastor to re-baptize me in the name of Jesus only (because they do not believe in the Trinity). We had our meetings and studies and he knew why I was being re-baptized (because I denounced the Trinity and was baptized under the Matt. formula). OK, so the day…[Read more]

I've read that too. Do you think that if you were baptized under the Matt. formula that you should be re-baptized. Some people think you should.

Is it the will of God for us to be baptized under the Matthew formula (I call it the Trinity formula) OR in the name of Jesus only? Just thought I would throw this in here somewhere and see what folks think.

Ah, I've thought this too. It's not a very popular teaching from the pulpit, however. Sad but true……Yes, here's to MERCY!

Nick, any ideas who these sheep are?

I wondered how you were so speedy in getting mass quotations in a post. Ha! Are you copying/pasting from what is available here on HeavenNet? I'll have to try that and see if it works – I'm getting savy – slowly but surely.My kids just bought me an ESV for Mother's Day; I like it so far. When my husband reads the Bible he prefers the NAS as…[Read more]

So which version do you prefer Nick? They all seem to have “flaws” in them, no?

Hi rojo,Welcome! Nice to have you here. You will find many lively debates and discussions on various beliefs – including this great topic! I pray that you are open to learn as you are to teach. We all learn from one another even if we do not share the same belief system. God bless you as you share the truth you know.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 29 2007,10:42)God is sovereign and we know not all are saved by the way of Christ but many by the mercy of God also, shown in mt25.How can others be saved? There is only one name given under heaven by which we can be saved; no?

You think God was speaking of Himself prophetically? That would be unusual.*******************************Much of the OT is prophetic language of what God will accomplish, I don't find it unusual at all that God would fortell of his Son coming; the promised Messiah.Psalm 2 is an important Psalm, obviously. But it is not soley used and referred…[Read more]

  Is this the TRINITY smiley face (3 eyes/one face)?  WJ likes to use it a lot.I'm only teasing you, WJ.  I'm looking up those scriptures for you now on which versions say Jesus is God and which ones do not with the same verse.

No. I simply mean to say that in relation to Psalm 2 Jesus is spoken of being begotten in the future………..at conception.

They Heard him walking! Since Jesus is the image of the invisible God , then if anyone at anytime has seen God, then we should expect that they saw the image…[Read more]
