Or maybe I should have said, Is there a difference?Tim

Quote (david @ Feb. 23 2009,05:06)I think some people mistake their inner voice or conscience for the voice of God.You may be right.How do you tell the difference?Tim

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 19 2009,10:32)Hi Tim.I see. So then I suppose that everytime you refer to the scriptures or quote a passage and your understanding of it and that God has shown that truth to you “by experience”, then it should have a waver attached to it that says…(That is if the scriptures are true)? Is that right?Just wanted to…[Read more]

Hi thethinker,I don't think anyone is arguing that we are under the old covenent, the point is that neither was Paulwhen he said what he said.Tim

Hi Lineon,Who in this thread has said anything against God?I sometimes feel the need to defend His character against what the bible says about him.Do you believe that the bible IS God?Tim

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 19 2009,05:20)And how can you be sure that the scriptures you believe in are not corrupted also? WJHi WorshippingJesus,I can't. I appreciate your thoughts.Thank you,Tim

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 19 2009,04:50)Hi Tim4,So now you think you know God you can judge His book and discard it?I presume you will never quote it again?Hi Nick,I read it. I may quote it.I just haven't been lead to worship it as you do.Tim

Hi Nick,Is your God incapable of making Himself known to anyone except through a book writtenthousands of years ago? Has your God lost the ability to communicate Himself?Must He depend on people that claim that He talked to them centuries ago to tell us about Him?My foundation is based on my experience with God.If He leads me to believe that a…[Read more]

Hi DK,Are you still out there? You kind of disappeared from this thread. Have you had your questions answered?Do you think that it is possible that some day God will shake His head sadly and ask why we ever believed the reprehensible things written about Him in the bible?Tim

God knew before He created us that we would all be sinners, and He did it anyway.And He said it was “GOOD”.Tim

Nick,is that really you or has someone else taken over your account?Tim

What's old Ronny doing now?Tim

Hi Gene,I love to read, and agree with, your opinion on many of the scriptures.But I do Nick's as well. You are both good men trying to get your point across.You seem to get really angry with Nick for seeingthings differently than you do. You souldn't. We will all learn what is correct in time.I have to admit though. I did chuckle when you tell…[Read more]

I am sorry, but nowhere in the bible does it say that “to be away from the body is to be with the Lord”.Scriptures only state that we would rather be with the Lord than to be in the body.That only states what our wishes are.Tim

Quote (Tiffany @ Jan. 09 2009,14:40)Nick Jesus spoke in parables, and it didn't profit the apostles until he explained to them what they meant.Why do you think people come to this side, for you to quote them scripture which they have in their own Bible? No, people want to hear what they mean to you, to compare, and then make up their own mind.…[Read more]
