Quote Yet the trinity is only found in the imaginations of those who “infere” certain scripture to say that God is one in three persons, a rediculous statement that exists only in ones imaginations, and makes no sense at all. Hey Chosenone,Good point!david

Quote (Gene @ Dec. 15 2009,03:33)David………Scripture says GOD Brought all that on Job. Read the end of the book of JOB where it say that GOD brought all this evil on JOB> it was no challenge by a Being named SATAN , but simply and ADVERSARIAL Spirit (INTELLECT) in GOD'S reasonings.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 14 2009,12:34)G, So Satan discussed the situation with God in Ch 1-2 and God allowed him to test Job via a series of storms and disasters, incuding the seemingly accidental death of his family, and carnal warfare before launching an assault on his health. ..Keep me from hard testing..Job was essentially asserting that…[Read more]

Quote The 'Group: non-believers' means there are threads in which I cannot post. This schism was implemented in the manner of most religious schisms. Isn't it typical that fundamentalist christians respond to difficult questions by shutting the door!

Quote an ongoing act of vengeance, perpetrated by a forgiving god, as a punishment.I'm not sure how it could be an “ongoing act” of vengeance. Those who do not want to follow the rules, are removed.Much like when some countries decide someone is incapable of reform, they are considered no longer fit to live (because of the wellfare and justice…[Read more]

Quote So I am to understand that the term “Mighty God” does not refer to deity? Why use the word “God” then?–country boy.Because the word “god” doesn't mean “deity.” The problem occurs because like 99% of the time, it does refer to our Creator, the Father, Jehovah God.So, we get confused and think that “God” = “The Creator.”But the Bible…[Read more]

Quote This has nothing to do with what I want to believe. The question is “Was Jesus God or was he not?”I think the question really should be: “Was Jesus “The” God, or was he not?”He was not. When it came to the question of his identity, what did the people quoted above think?

I think that if you are able to stay on topic, and not harrass people with your beliefs, especially when it is not on topic, you should be able to post on any thread.Example: If you are an athiest, who doesn't believe in God, it makes little sense to be discussing whether God is or is not a trinity. (If you're in that thread you're probably just…[Read more]

I think it is ridiculous to assert that Bildad, Eliphaz and Zophar were accurate in their accusations against Job. Eliphaz falsely accused Job of all sorts of crimes—extortion, withholding water and bread from the needy, and oppressing widows and orphans.—Job 22.But Job 1:1 tells us that Job was “to be blameless and upright, and fearing God and…[Read more]

Nick, while the Bible is holy and inspired, it has it's share of very bad things. Not that God's servants always doing these bad things, but the Bible has murder, lies, well, everything bad you can imagine, really….burning children in fire, rape, etc.None of these things are accepted by God, but their very existence in scripture does not…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Nov. 08 2009,06:55)Dinosaur tracks from 69.99 million years before the divine creation of the earth.Impossible!Could it be?Stuart“In the beginning , God created the heavens and the earth.”The Bible doesn't state when this took place.

Quote (kejonn @ Dec. 11 2009,15:21)Quote (t8 @ Dec. 10 2009,20:33)Sometimes the majority of people are deceived.Since the majority religious position is “Christian”, I find this statement strangely ironic.Looking at pie charts, it looks like 33% are “christians.”21% Islam14% Hinduism.16% non-religious6% buddhismetc.

Quote This has nothing to do with what I want to believe. The question is “Was Jesus God or was he not?”–country boyIt is undeniable that Jesus is called “Mighty God” in Isaiah 9:6.But, why don't we look at the whole Bible for a second and put some things in context.One day I went through the whole Bible.  So, this might not be 100% accurate.…[Read more]

Quote Nick's reply is that all the statements in the Bible are true. So the statement “man is a worm” must be true. Nick errs because the Bible also contains the falsehoods that men and devils speak.I'm not sure if Nick really believes all statements in the Bible regardless of whom they are from (but I do remember this coming up before with him I…[Read more]
