Quote (gsilva72 @ May 07 2008,11:14)I was baptised in the Name of Jesus also! Right now I believe in the oneness doctrine, but I am leaning toward the trinity doctrine again. Several scripture seem to support it. The big one I am looking at is Hebrews 1:8. You can read 1108 pages of pros and cons concerning the trinity doctrine…[Read more]

Hi Colter,Your urantia explanation does not quite agree with what 942 said.It appears that this baptizing gentiles was something new that obviously not part of Jewish law, and John had started himself.Tim

Quote (t8 @ April 12 2004,12:14)But God has given us great proof that he exists.Rom1:19,20 it says: “For what can be known about God is evident to them. Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result they have no excuse.”The…[Read more]

Quote (seek and you will find @ May 04 2008,16:33)It is also sad to me that you think that the Catholic had it right. They are deceived and that is not right, Timothy.Peace and Love Mrs.Hi Mrs.I meant that they had the right idea in how to keep the church in unity.Do not let them read the bible and tell them what to believe.It was not a compliment. Tim

Quote (Not3in1 @ May 04 2008,19:36)It's no secret that I have been losing faith over the past 6 months.  My posts reflect this change so dramatically.  I know because I have gone back and read some posts from “before” my turn.  I was trying to pin-point why the change took place.  Ironically, the change began as I studied harder, as I dug dee…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ May 04 2008,09:58)Can the bible be trusted?How can it be trusted when zillions of believers, who love God, read it and come away with various (sometimes opposing) ideas and theories?  I just don't get it.Do we need the spirit to decode it?  And what of all those who say they possess the spirit and yet have different beliefs as o…[Read more]

Quote (Jodi @ May 03 2008,10:25)We have to realize that the authors used the language at the time. When someone acted like a loon, people did not understand  such things as brain tumors, they ignorantly and superstitiously believed that the cause of the weird and often evil behavior was because of a dead person's spirit haunting them. These are…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ May 01 2008,10:29)Hmmm.  Sorry Tim VI you said the same thing first…StuartThat's O/K/ Stu.I was only joking, you were serious. Tim

I was wrong once. I thought that I had made a mistake, and I hadn't.Tim

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 30 2008,06:42)I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said, “God is too big to fit into one religion.”  I think I believe it.I like that.Tim

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 30 2008,06:48)Jesus WAS actually plan “B”, remember?O.K. Then if Jesus had backed out. What was plan “C”?Do you thik that God had another plan just in case Jesus did not do what He was supposed to do?Tim

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 30 2008,04:36)It's my interpretation of the scriptures that if Jesus didn't have a free-will choice to obey God or not – his sacrifice meant NOTHING!In other words, it was all staged.Instead, I believe that God is taking a chance on humanity.  He is betting the farm that the most of us will love him just because.  Just b…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 30 2008,04:27)Tim, if this is true then we should also be able to blame God for our wrong choices.  See where this line of thinking can lead to?  Instead of, “The devil made me do it!”, it would have to read, “God willed me to do it because I didn't have a true choice.”.  Can see it, bro.Hi Mandy,As you probably know by no…[Read more]
