Colter,I'll be honest, One thing thats starting to annoy me is all you give me is platitudes and nothing to back up what you say. And I don't like how I have asked questions that go unanswered and asked you to consider the substance I have offered to back up my claims, and your only rebuttal is that you just “can't” or “refuse” to believe it.…[Read more]

Colter,(Where are you quoting from?) Consider, A Father who disciplines his child is good, though his child may see the discipline as evil.  Hebrews 12:5-95 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:6 For whom the Lord…[Read more]

Let me be quick about this everyone.You guys are confusing the ability to choose, and what Free-will really means. Actually Gene is right, not every has that liberty to be able to do what they wish to do. In the same note, ya also believe that our choices are independant from God's influence, which that notion is wrong. Understand that at times…[Read more]

Hi Colters,The writers of the scriptures are men who have known the truth and know Jesus Christ.  They write to those who are like themselves.  Yes very corrupted men have used the bible to control masses, as you have said.  I agree.
