Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 13 2008,15:33)Hi tow, Do you have any basis for testing truth?Many. But we are speaking of the GT. If the GT conflicts with Tanakh, it is false. If Tanakh is not true, GT is not true. Tanakh can be true without GT being true, vice versa is not possible.

Wonder what color the third little block is?

Paul says he studied under Gamaliel but what proof is that? I could say I studied under a certain teacher of today and it may mean little more than I read some of their writings.

Leave it to Ken to show the true nature of Christian love.

Could the same not be said of the Koran, or any other religious book?

No conspiracy, Matthew and Luke were just not aware of each others works. If they were, they would make sure they wouldn't conflict with each other.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 13 2008,11:30)Hi Tow”What's sad is that you say it took spiritual understanding to figure out what this meant, so I guess you are saying there were others who did not follow him that had a better understanding:” Absolutely. 2 Corinthians 12:9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 12 2008,21:28)Hi Tow, You protest that the apostles did not understand the messages of Christ as if their faith should have included understanding. I disagree. They are a great example of true faith that lacks understanding but holds on because their spirit has heard truth. Even later in life Peter was able to say he did…[Read more]

You merely prefer it Nick? So you like other beliefs and their texts, but you have a preference for the Christian bible?

So, how do you know if they have the spirt, when they agree with you Nick?

Since I see very little difference in Christians that I know and most others, what indication is there that they “have the Holy Spirit”? Because they say they believe in Jesus? Seriously, the idea of a spirit of a god indwelling within you was borrowed from other religions that were around before Christianity.You have pretty much been shown there…[Read more]
