Regarding brother Gene – He's emailed me and said that he still cannot post.He is supposed to be able to but when he tries to log in, he does not have posting rights.t8, can you look into this for him?Thanks,Mandy

We know you love us, Father. We feel your guidance and protection. Please increase our faith and help us to endure until the end! We need you, LORD. We love you. For…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Oct. 15 2008,05:49)Hi Kathi,Quote don't think God is invisible and that it is impossible to see Him.I see that Nick has given some excellent scriptures for you to look at regarding God's “form”.  This is how God exists normally.  So if Jesus is in God's form, then this rules out Jesus being an angel, the light, or a messenger o…[Read more]

Thanks Keith, for the flip side.Gosh, does there always have to be a flip side? Mandy

Adam,Here is a snippet of what you sent me. Do you believe this?************************************************************************Pregnant by the Holy Spirit does not mean that the Holy Spirit made her pregnant. It means “The Holy Spirit” influenced her (Mary or Miryam) to get pregnant by Joseph prior to their permanent cohabitation. Thus…[Read more]

Thanks for more information, David. I'll check this Coptic version out.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Oct. 17 2008,08:16)What did Yahshua pray? He said the Father always heard him but for their sakes he prayed. He saw what the Father was doing and he did it.But he still prayed….and asked….The Father…..to raise Lazarus.Why didn't Jesus just stand on his own power and do the job and get it done?Remember that the…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Oct. 17 2008,04:28)The words “I can do nothing of my self” means Yahshua simply did nothing apart from the Fathers will or what he sees the Father do.Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, “but what he seeth the Father do”: for what things soever he…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 17 2008,05:45)Hi mandy,Why should God have to meet our logical expectations? We must find it written.Trinity is notI'm sorry, you mean it is not written that Jesus had a name prior to being born? That was the topic, not trinity. However that is the topic of this thread so I suppose our conversation should be muted here. 😉

Thanks for bringing this up. I was unaware of this Coptic version.Sigh….another “version” of the truth.

Hi Keith,Quote But again the “Arians” will explain away Yahshua’s simple words with apologetics.”Jesus answered and said unto them”, Destroy this temple, and in three days “I will raise it up”. I'm not sure if I'm “Arian” and I don't know a lot of apologetics, but if Jesus was able to pray (and ask God) to raise his buddy, Lazarus, don't you think…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 16 2008,19:22)Hi Mandy,Is thought relevant evidence?Well, I think that evidence shows that other sons in heaven were not named other than Gabe, perhaps the devil…..of course that doesn't mean they all didn't have names, we are just not privy to them.I bet there is an angel named Bob somewhere?But my point being, if the…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 16 2008,20:00)Quote Just because Lot couldn't read the fine print (the law) doesn't mean he wasn't accountable.  I'm just saying that the law, leviticus etc, came later, after Lot's time.Oh, gotcha. Thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes I'm not sure which came first – the oral or the written law. I know some stone was…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 16 2008,18:32)Hi Mandy, Did any other sons of God have names?I don't know?But certainly one unique, begotten Son who helped CREATE would have had a name – don't 'cha think? Was Gabe more important than the “pre-Jesus”?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 16 2008,11:37)Hi LU, Other sons of God of God were. Why not the unique firstborn?Interesting question for you Nick – did the unique firstborn Son of God have a name in heaven?  I don't know if it's written, that is why I'm asking.  Perhaps if we could locate a solid (not speculated) name for this being it would give m…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 16 2008,12:04)“Let US make man in our image.”David,This passage has many explainations (one such explaination is given in the NIV Study Bible). This is not solid proof of Jesus' preexistence; not at all. If this one verse convinces you, I would encourage you to rethink your theology.Love,Mandy

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 16 2008,05:51)Hi Mandy, John saw the glory of Jesus, not the Glory of God.Jn114And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.Agreed. Did I say that backwards somewhere? If so, I apologize. Yes, John spoke of Jesus'…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 15 2008,14:42)Quote Moses gave the written law on tablets but there was an oral law given in Leviticus that spoke to incest.David, if I had to give a prize to the best debater here – it would be you!  That's a compliment, by the way.Well thankyou mandy.  I don't really consider myself a debater, just someone who recognizes t…[Read more]
