Jesus being born did not save anyone. It was His death, burial, and ressurection. There are only three birthdays mentioned in scripture; Pharoahs and Herods (2). Personally I don't mind celebrating certain holidays, but if a holiday claims to be Christian then I have to “prove all thing and hold fast to what is good”.The problem with Christendom…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Feb. 28 2006,05:24)5One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord…[Read more]

Is 1:18,At first I thought this was just a discussion on the use of the word god, but you have definately taken it to another level. Your post was great, and point well made.

Quote (liljon @ Feb. 22 2006,10:33)sultan, how many gods? ONE not three. they are the same God. Also similarity doesn't mean copying. They are many other similarites in pagan religions.Your belief system is three distinct persons that are all 100% God. That is three distinct gods 100% according to the churhch fathers. Yo cannot have 3 distinct…[Read more]

Quote (liljon @ Feb. 21 2006,10:43)Whether cross or stake jesus died for us but evidence destroys the myth that jesus was on a stake. Also the trinity is not three gods so what does pagans worshipping 3 gods (and tons more) have to do with anything.Quote Also the trinity is not three gods so what does pagans worshipping 3 gods (and tons more) have…[Read more]

The inherited nature is also shown in Genesis chapter 5.Here it shows that God created man in His image, but after sin Seth was in the image and likeness of his father.This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 15 2006,23:59)Quote We are born with sin which is why a newborn baby may die having not necessarily “sinned.” The wages of sin is death. Death should have no effect on anyone if he/she is truly without sin.I think the above is a good point by Cubes.The common Hebrew term translated “sin” is chat·ta´th´; in Greek the usual…[Read more]

Quote (Ramblinrose @ Feb. 12 2006,00:12)Truebelief4uI understand Messiah to have been born filled with Holy Spirit in the same way that John the Baptist was. This empowered them with the knowledge of their path in life – John’s role being different to that of Yahshua. Even at the age of 12 when he remained at Jerusalem he was amongst his f…[Read more]

Quote (truebelief4u @ Feb. 12 2006,21:58)Hi all……You know, just “asking the question” shows there is confusion over this issue, and that people simpy aren't reading (or paying attention) to Scripture.MANY “believe” they go straight to heaven? WHY do they believe this? Certainly not because they find it in the Bible. They believe it because…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 12 2006,17:39)Where did Lazarus go when he died? (John 11:11-14) Had he been in heaven, why would Jesus resurrect him?Jesus said that Lazarus was sleeping. It wasn't literal sleep. But he was unconsious, as in sleep. (Eccl 9:5) And like sleep, a person can be awoken or resurrected from death. But when a person dies, his…[Read more]

I am looking forward to your responses.

Salvation is a free gift, but it wasn't free. It cost Jesus His life.:)

Quote (t8 @ Jan. 31 2006,18:53)I have to admit that this for me is a hard question. I also wonder about war. If we were enlisted to fight against an enemy (like the Nazis) would God allow or want us to kill the enemy. Was it God's will that people went to war and ended the reign of terror that the Nazis brought? If so, then it seems that God…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Jan. 31 2006,00:04)Doubtless on many occasions during his prehuman existence as the Word, Jesus acted as Jehovah’s Spokesman to persons on earth.
