Hi everyone,   May God be with you in all you do. I will testify before God and all of humanity that God alone has used me and my spirit as a conduit for God's healing energy/power. I have healed a number of people of physical pains and some psychological issues. I won't divulge these peoples names for reasons of privacy. If you did a little…[Read more]

Hi terraricca,   Quote I personally have many bibles in different languages ,but having study the scriptures so long ,I came to the understanding that it is not so important the version of your bible ,what is more important is the message in it DO YOU BELIEVE THAT MESSAGE ,??? you may have notice that in basics the message never changes in any…[Read more]

You will probably be waiting a looong time for any kind of response from him in this forum. Stu gave a pretty accurate description of how he posts to this forum. I tried to to have conversation with him and it didn't garner anything productive. Good luck on getting anything productive going with him.

Pierre, My understanding of this issue is pretty much in agreement with t8, shimmer, Kerwin and Istari. They have posted enough scripture for you to see how it is scripturally supported. If you choose not to understand it this way so be it. It is not an issue for a soul's salvation in my humble opinion. I most likely will never again try to…[Read more]

That is what I meant Kerwin. I see the difference in expression you are making. If I state it the other way I have to use qualifiers such as God is in all things, however, intelligent conscious creatures such as us have the ability to block-out/resist/negate God's presence in us via simple decision making mental processes, whereas, my houseplant…[Read more]

My take is that these folks are looking for “spiritual experiences” and are not looking to serve God.

Hi Shimmer and everyone else,Quote He knows every person by name and calls to them. He is in all things – in every atom and element, in every organism and every molecule. He is above all things and in all things – and He lives in you.   Not going to debate this. God revealed to me personally via Holy Spirit/Spirit of Truth that the above quoted…[Read more]

Hi David, From the stuff you posted it comes to my mind that Simon taught he was either God or the trilogy concept of God in the flesh. Since Christ Jesus taught us God is spirit and must be worshipped in truth and spirit this Simon was evidently a self-glorifying self-deluded man. With Love and…[Read more]

Hi Charles,Quote Yes I will pray for you in order to achieve your aim?Through praying for you I will achieve mine?   I would like you to pray for me with the strength of faith to truly believe in the center of your soul that what you are praying for has already occured or will occur upon completion of your prayer. This is how our lord and master…[Read more]

Charles,   You go right ahead pondering and theologizing. When your done I will still be here, being a lover of God and a disciple of Christ. Some of what you post is good. Alot is theological/mental/spiritual rambling. I can see now you are a spiritual seeker. I have been there in my life. I understand. When you finally get back to just keeping…[Read more]

good idea t8.Another thing that the initiators of these threads that are seeking input from people with the same theological doctrinal position could do is periodically re-post the purpose and scope of the initial post or have a little paragraph as like a p.s. put at the end of their posts so that someone not "up to speed" with the intent of the…[Read more]

Hi Mike,   I can easily understand how a culture from 5000 years or do so ago would have a different word picture that expresses eternal in a way fairly alien and not in perfect conformance to a modern understanding of eternal. I can easily understand ages of ages to be referring to eternal. By the way a valid modern definition of forever is also…[Read more]

Hi Mike,   I believe the Hebrews did have a real concept of eternity. Thier definition of eternal doesn't precisely conform to our modern definition of eternity is what I think is what's going on. To them it is of a time that is at and beyond the vanishing point of the cognitave awareness of events that occur within time that they are aware of…[Read more]

Good Post David.

Hi Mike, Your right. I misunderstood what aforetime meant. I did some further research on the word “oulm” which is translated to english to mean “indefinately lasting” in the NWT. The Strongs has that the word means properly concealed, the vanishing point, time out of mind(future or past) that is derived from a primitive root word “alam” that…[Read more]

Hi Mike,   Right. Please continue to try to convince people via the scriptures that Jesus is not God. It's obvious to some and evidently not obvious to others. You are correct that given that Jesus is not God, worshiping him as God does, indeed, go against the commandment of God. The teaching of Christ Jesus I had in mind was when Jesus tells us…[Read more]

Hi Mike, Perhaps in your mind they don't. To my mind aforetime or beforetime means from place either where time has no meaning or time has no presence. This qualifies as eternity to my mind. You, of course, can think it about what ever way your freewill leads you. With Love and more love,…[Read more]

Hi Mike, I implied nothing. I stated the reasoning of an understanding of scripture based from a standpoint of God's word, part of which is prophesies, being fulfilled in the scriptures. I am not one of those Jews living in that spiritually darkened time. I understand spiritual things differently than they did. I will state that is fairly clear…[Read more]

Hi WJ,   Quote Ha Ha! You deride me for committing a “logical fallacy” and yet you attempt to make the argument that ATR was a Baptist and indoctrinated therefore that means his Greek is biased. Do you see the irony of your claim? Paladin said…”What else would you expect from a trinitarian grammarian?”.  It is wrong to attack ATR's Greek by cl…[Read more]
