Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 24 2008,06:53)Hi Tim4, Why do folks rush to assuming what they seem to be led to do is always from God?Exactly Nick. Tim

Quote (Not3in1 @ Dec. 24 2008,04:52)Testing the Spirit(s) is HOGWASH!Get a dozen believer's in the room, Nick.  Have them all “test the Spirit” on any given scripture or subject.  Let's see what they all come up with?  Would they be in harmony?  I seriously doubt it.I was convinced that the Spirit explained to me, revealed to me, gave insight to…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Dec. 23 2008,11:41)Hi Tim:The scriptures tell you why God sent them a delusion that they should believe a lie.Quote 2Th 2:9 , whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 23 2008,11:06)Hi Tim, You are not accused of anything by anyone here. But we need to warn each other.Hi Nick,Fair enough.Sometimes it is difficult to understand your meaningacross the time and space of the internet.Tim

Hi Nick,I agree. However you were inferring that I was judgeing God because I feltcompassion for the poor souls that he had judged.My question still stands to you.Is having compassion for the people that God Himself denied the truth, judging God?Tim

HI Nick,You keep referring to scriptures but what we have is the bible.There were hundreds of gospels besides the four that were voted in to the bible with a simple yeh or neh, by a group of Catholic men. Who is to say that many of those neglected gospels are not the word of God instead of the ones that we got.Were the men that canonized the bible…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 22 2008,10:03)Hi tim4, Whether or not we believe the bible we should not venture into judging God.Hi Nick,Is having compassion for the people that God Himself denied the truth, judging God?It must be a heavy burden to be in constant fear that your very thoughts will envoke the wrath of God.Tim

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 22 2008,19:37)Hi not3, If someone does not believe the bible is true then why would they ever quote it?When a person speaks with someone else whose only source of knowledge seems to be what is in the bible, that person must use the same bilble in order to have any grounds upon which to converse. If not, then the…[Read more]

Quote (meerkat @ Dec. 22 2008,05:18)Hmm,Good point …….anything to do with 2 Th 2:11Hi Meerkat,I am not sure about 2 Th 2:11.I never quite understood why, when the evil man came to do the work of Satan with false miracles, and wicked deception to fool those who were already lost, God would send great deception upon them so that they would…[Read more]

I guess if you question any word of the bible, you are not fit to discuss any of it. Tim

Quote (david @ Dec. 21 2008,17:19)As well, for me, if a true God exists, he'd not only want his message out, but he'd make it available to mankind.  The Bible in whole or part is available almost everywhere.  It's been estimated that there have been between 6 and 7.5 billion Bibles printed.And would He also confound the language of all the earth s…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 20 2008,10:48)GB,. Jesus called Judas a devilJohn 6:70Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?The word used here for devil was diabolos, an adjective which only means a false accuser or slanderer. Tim

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Dec. 20 2008,12:37)Hi all The problem with this whole “eternal torments” phylosophy is the crime does not equal the penalty.God is a just God and strictly told Adam and Eve if they eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that they would die.Nowhere in the Hebrew (OT) scriptures is there even a hint of the wicked…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 19 2008,04:11)Hi tim,1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4But he answered and…[Read more]

Hi Nick,I am not sure I know what you mean.I can be a little dense at times.Tim

That is what…[Read more]

Hi Meerkat,Scriptures do reveal it. But even if they didn't, could you honor a God who would knowingly createhuman life only to sentence over 80% of that creation to an eternity in hell?Could you honor a parent who would condemn eight out of ten of their own childrento burn in torment for ever and ever?I would despise that parent.Tim

I would love to be a certain and confident in my belief as Nick is.He unflinchingly believes every word that is written in the bible.I just pray that he never handles poisonous snakes or drinks poison to prove his faith.Tim
