Quote In New Zealand we still have lots of trees and the climate doesn't appear to be getting warmer IMO. Nor do you appear to be getting older. But one day you'll die.I look forward to Canada getting warmer.

Speaking of God, the Bible says:For you alone are holy.For you alone are holy.For you alone are holy. For you alone are holy. You are the only holy one,for thou only art holy:for you only are holyfor thou only art holy;etc.–Rev 15:41 Peter 1:16: “You must be holy, because I am holy.” WJ, are you holy? Are you God?

Quote *When the Bible says that Jehovah alone is holy (yet we know others–the anointed, Israel, etc are called “holy”) I take that to mean that he is the most holy, the ultimate in holiness, the very definition and standard of holy.To believe otherwise, to believe that he alone can ever be called or should be called holy is to again, contradict…[Read more]

God made adam and eve. They were humans. Everything that came after….God, through his spirit, used Mary, to give birth to a human.What is “total humanity”?

Quote What does it matter anyway, whether it was a tall pole, or a pole with a cross beam.  I think that is ridiculous and does not take away from the event that happened on it.  Do you argue about such unimportant things as to whether or not the manger was a barn or a cave also?The “manger” was definitely not a barn or a cave.  A manger is a fo…[Read more]

JA, you seem so polite. How could you possibly have gotten those little yellow boxes?

Quote David,How about supporting what LU has posted before going on to make your valid correction statements and suggestions, which are outside of the content of that specific post by LU?Give credit to good works, support good works and win over those seeking truth but are slighty odf track.Hi Justaskin,yes, I am rough around the edges and…[Read more]

Sorry Ed.I didn't really know we were having a discussion. I was focusing on what LU was saying. I just didn't find your question as interesting as when some people defend the adoption of paganism. I did look up and read that scripture. But I didn't comment on it because I didn't know what to say. To me, it doesn't seem to represent…

Quote Do further research and you will see that the word for tempted in the Hebrew scriptures was translated in the LXX as the same NT Greek word used for the temptations of Jesus.–wjI know it was. I don't think you understand what I'm saying. It was not the word “tempt” that was in that Hebrew Scriptures or the LXX.The actual word meant 'to…[Read more]

Quote The secondary meaning of stauros is “cross.”  So Jesus died on the stauros with the secondary meaning.On what do you base that?  Popularity?And what is the secondary meaning of xylon?  There is no secondary meaning.  5 times the instrument of Jesus death is simply referred to as xylon (timber, a single beam of wood.)Quote satan witnessed the…[Read more]

Quote WJhow can you temp someone who own you and that you can not reach??It does seem a ridiculous notion. What can you tempt him with? Gold?You cannot tempt God. You can challenge him.

Lightenup, your statements are sort of a false argument.I'm saying that Jesus died on a “stauros” also referred to 5 times as “xylon.” The primary meaning of stauros is “stake” and the meaning of xylon is “timber.”In your words, “Google it yourself…do some research on it.”What I'm saying is that if we only look at what the Bible says, and take…[Read more]
