Quote (gollamudi @ June 28 2008,05:06)Hi Mandy, my God I have forgotten about your throwing of clay by the potter. I know it is so much horrifying to watch, my friend dad used to throw the mud or clay with so much strength and from so much height that he can. If the clay has any mind of its own I know it will be quite horrifying experience. I…[Read more]

Hi Gene,Quote As for those who couldn't follow Christ it simply was not given to them to follow Him,I read through John 6 and it does seem to imply that the reason these disciples turned away from Jesus was because, verse 65, “…..This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.” Verse 66, “From this time many…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 28 2008,04:18)Also the potter knows everything before he makes any pot or vessel how it looks like.Hi Adam,Have you ever thrown clay? I can tell you that you may have an idea of what you want your pot to look like, but the clay, to some degree, has a mind of it's own You're original idea for the pot may come close, but…[Read more]

Yes, but also the preaching work included miracles and displays of God's power. Jesus was attributed to us by these things as he preached. We will follow and do greater?

Adam,We are also told we will do greater things than they did! If they had the gifts and did great things, it only stand to reason that we would still have the gifts and do greater things through them. If we follow DK's line of logic, we can only do greater things because we now have the scriptures, however they also had scriptures back then…[Read more]

Adam, very good points thank you!There were some who believed that Jesus wasn't even human, and so I also believe that the conversation between Nico and Jesus was to emphasize the need that we be born TWICE, not just once: through water (our physical birth) but also through the Spirit.

Adam,Nick doesn't run this site. He is a volunteer Moderator. He is a member here just like you and me. Perhaps he has a lot of time to devote to this site? But sometimes we learn through opposition.Paul took opposition as opportunity!

Hi Cato,Quote Yes with God, but does possible mean true or even probable?With God, people walk through doors and are raised from the dead……Quote Perhaps it was a localized occurence that appeared to those at the time like a world wide event. I have heard to the contrary on certain programs that the History channel puts out and other's. There…[Read more]

In this exchange between Nico and Jesus, it is used as an example. Indeed, it is!Water has been linked to birth from the beginning, Nick. What carries/cushions the child in the womb? What needs to “break” before the child can enter the world and be born?Water

Quote (Irene @ June 27 2008,18:28)Did you ever think that right now is only a testing ground what really for those that will be teachers and Priests in the Millenium.I definitely believe we are in training for something.But I'll be happy just to keep the gardens in the new World.

Sure, DK we can agree to disagree.You quoted 1 Cor 13:13 (and these three remain…) but I've noticed that chapter 14 is on the gifts of prophecy and tongues – go figure. Keep in mind Paul also said:1 Cor. 1:7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.The Lord has not been…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 27 2008,17:53)But men deceive themselves by this idea of a “FREE WILL” , so they don't see it was all planned and foreknown before it ever happened.Bro Gene,With all due respect, what a boring world this would be to manage and observe if God already knew everything that would happen.The exciting thing about watching my…[Read more]

ptr,Thanks for the link, I will check this out. So far though, what I have learned about Ron is scary.If he has heard from God, there is no need to reset anything! God doesn't make mistakes. Therefore true prophets of God never made a bad call either – whatever they said would come to pass certainly did. No need to change dates.But I feel for…[Read more]

Thanks, Kevin.Well, since our house won't be paid off before 2012, I think we'll take out a 2nd mortgage and live high on the hog!Jesus is coming back anyway and we won't have to worry about paying it off! Crazy…[Read more]

I believe your quoted scriptures. But indeed being “filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” may include some pretty neat gifts along the way. True, love is the more excellent way. I believe Paul stressed that because if we have not love……we have nothing. Everything else is like a sounding “gong”.If we have not love, how could we…[Read more]

Quote (dirtyknections @ June 27 2008,17:39)Simply put….we don't need these spectacular displays..to see and feel GOD's spirit.. 29Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”Perhaps we don't “need” them…..but when has anyone ever needed a “gift”.

Quote (dirtyknections @ June 27 2008,17:38)Read this with an open mind and you will see why I say the things I say…pay attention to verse 8-13 8Love never fails.
