Quote (Not3in1 @ April 18 2007,17:57)Jesus was taught right from wrong.Does anyone think before he was taught to do right that he did wrong?  And was that wrong in anyway a “sin?”  I guess not if Jesus “knew no sin.”  However, we are also taught that all wrongdoing IS SIN.  Curious topic.The only way that Jesus can be considered sinless is if you…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 18 2007,12:09)Hi Tim, Satan was before genesis. He was a liar and murderer from the beginning.Hi Nick,I agree.That is why I said he was at the garden of eden in the beginning when God said “it is good”.God did not say it is all good except for that little rascal over there masquerading as a snake.Everything that happened…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 17 2007,18:06)Hi chosenone, Did God create Satan as evil?HI Nick,God created satan to do what satan does. He is God's adversary. God allows him to tempt people to sin. Satan was alive and well in the garden of eden when God looked upon His creation, all of His creation, including satan, and said “it is good”.Satan and…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ April 17 2007,19:32)Is it a real fast postal service? Hi T8,That is an oxymoron.Tim

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 15 2007,17:11)Oh, thanks Nick for explaining MORE – ha!    And what exactly does “topical” mean?I looked up 1 John 4.  What are you trying to say, that “Jesus came in the flesh” and that means that he wasn't born once?  Or that because he “came in the flesh” he wasn't BORN?  I'm confused on where you stand with this.  Cla…[Read more]

That is interesting WorshippingJesus,I will need to study that for a while.Tim

Hi Not3in1,We are saying the same thing. I just wasn't clear because I ended my comment with a question to WorshippingJesusabout whether the verses I quoted proved pre-existence.Didn't you hear my voice go up at the end? Tim

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 15 2007,09:40)No.  Not pre-existing in a physical sense.  Tim, are you saying you believe that YOU pre-existed your birth?  No one did, not even Christ.  We were foreknown to God, just as Jesus was.Absolutely not. WorshippingJesus infered that when Jesus said”Glory that he shared with the Father before the world was…[Read more]

Hi Kyle,I don't think that this verse poses any problem to those that believe that Jesus was YHWH.They believe that Jesus, the Holy Spirit and YHWH are three persons that are also one person,and they talk to each other all of the time.If you think rationally about it though, it must cause serious doubts in your mind that Jesus was YHWH in the…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 13 2007,08:05)So the Father believed in polytheism? Hi worshipping,I don't know. He is the one that gave all of the power to Jesus.Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Tim

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 13 2007,08:10)And if Jesus is “A” God then we have two Gods, a smaller god and a greater God.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 13 2007,08:10)So how can “A” god be part of the True God?Hi WorshippingJesus,Any old “a god” can't. For there were many gods.But you seem to keep forgetting that Jesus was the only begotten son of the true God. So He has to have some part of God in Him.Tim
