Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 16 2008,18:43)Hi not3, What is your gospel?Do these folk too need the mediator between men and God?Christianity calls for a Mediator, other religions do not. Goodness, even the Catholic's have a Mediator (Priest) to their Mediator (Jesus).I agree that it seems useful for God to create ONE plan for all; that is, Jesus is…[Read more]

For what it's worth:I believe other sons of God were predestined as well: Adam, Moses, Abe, Solomon….so on. However none of these predestined sons of God received a host of angels to sing at their birth. No royalty followed a star to lay gifts at their feet. These sons of God were not called, King of Kings and Lord of Lords at their…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 16 2008,18:40)Hi not3,Scripture is our guideNot weak human speculations.Adding derivations to what is written divides. Another denomination appearsI think what you are calling speculations are really just Gene's interpretation of scripture…..and it doesn't agree with your interpretation!

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 16 2008,18:38)Hi not3, So you do not have a gospel to share?Oh, I share it. Other's have their gospel to share. If you listen (without fear) you will find they are similiar, if not identical.The bible gives us the fear factor because we are told there is no “other” gospel. That if anyone preaches another gospel we are…[Read more]

I don't think Gene's post is a new doctrine at all; I've heard it before. The BU's support a lot of what he is sharing here. I also agree with some of it.He goes on a bit about “words being spirit” but I think you can grasp what he is trying to say. We obviously need to be able to understand one another. We cannot communicate spirit-to-spirit,…[Read more]

Well…..perhaps there were different rules and regs for different peoples?  It certainly would make sense.Peter and Paul weren't just sent in different directions – they were sent to two different cultures/people.

Was not Adam predestined from the beginning?How do we know?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 14 2008,11:45)Hi mk, There is not a separate gospel to the Jews.One kingdom and one way into it. Sadly CO is deceivedWhy would God allow there to be two different minister's – one to the Jews (Peter), and one to the Gentiles (Paul)?I think CO is making alot of sense here, Nick.You may want to hold your judgement?

Quote (gollamudi @ Dec. 16 2008,16:19)These verses clearly say that the Holy Spirit is other than Father & Jesus and also Jesus is able to send him.Adam,You're not alone, I have pondered this idea as well. That who God is – is his holy “Spirit”, but that there is a different “Spirit” that he sends out. And why not? He could do anything he…[Read more]
