Hi Nick,I am certain that worshippingJesus “knows for himself” that he is lead by the spirit of God,and he believes in the trinity.I am just as certain that you “know for yourself” that you are lead by the Spirit of God, and you do not believe in the trinity.So unless you are both correct, there is a trinity and there is also not a trinity, what…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Aug. 18 2008,22:34)Hi Tim4,God knows thaose who are His.The spirit does not speak on His own initiative but takes us back to the teachings of Jesus. Scripture cannot be broken.Hi Nick,So you are saying that we will never know if it is GOd's Spirit that is leading us.Only God knows.That explains why so many people here…[Read more]

Hi Nick,My point was this. Every person here that has a different belief of what scripture says, believes that they are lead by the Spirit to that understanding.If two people believe that they have the spirit teaching them, and theirunderstanding is completely opposite to each other,how do we know which one has the Spirit and which one thinks he…[Read more]

Hi Nick,How do you tell the difference between the people that have received the Spirit,and the people that think they have received the Spirit?Tim

Hmmmm. Don't know why that ended up showing up twice.Anyway, my information comes from the Hebrew interlineary whichshows the original words that are translated, and the Strongs concordence.Tim

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Aug. 14 2008,07:11)Hi Tim4, Do you rely solely on the humanly selected manuscripts that form the KJV?Hi Nick,No I don't.I know that translators have made errors in translating the original words to other languages. It is easy to say that my problem was using the KJV. But that was the only version that any of us had for…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Aug. 13 2008,14:20)Quote The Holy Spirit is referred to as the comforter and the helper, because that is what the Holy Spirit does, and yes he is referred to as a “he”, but show me a scripture that says he is a person, or a being. The fact that the B i b l e does not explicitly MENTION, EXPLAIN, or TEACH a trinity is in itself…[Read more]

The point that I was making was that there are obviously errors to be found in the bible,even if they are corrected in later versions. It is not wise to blindly believe every word that hasbeen translated.Tim

Quote (seekingtruth @ Aug. 08 2008,01:18)Wow! now I'm scary…I described the people that scare me.Christians that have no compassion for the horrific deaths of thousands of people merely because God was supposed to have commanded their deaths.Never said that you were scary, unless you see yourself among the group that I said scare me.Tim

Quote (seekingtruth @ Aug. 07 2008,12:32)Tim,In my opinion as soon as you begin eroding the scriptures you step on a slippery slope, losing your foundation and given time you will be left doing what is right in your own eyes, but that is your choice, hope it turns out well for you (no sarcasm).WmHi Seekingtruth,I know. I have heard that same exact…[Read more]

Hi Wm.I too fail to see God's actions as anything but honorable.But that is where I differ from what the bible describes God as doing.Tell me, do you think that sexism is honorable? What about slavery, and genocide.Do you think they are honorable? If you do just because the God described in the OTcondoned them, then we have different ideas of what…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Aug. 07 2008,06:31)I personally believe that the OT dishonors God, as does the book of Revelation.I'm afraid I have to agree with kejohn on this.I think that parts of the OT actually blaspheme God. Some day I suspect that He will ask us why we chose to believe that garbage about Him.Tim
