Quote Really? I didnt know Adventists were. Thats sad, how they changed. They were big believers in Gods kingdom not being part of this world.Further investigation shows that they have changed, somewhat. One person says: “there are a lot more Adventist young people enlisting and bearing arms in the military today than there was a few generations…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Aug. 29 2009,10:56)2 CORINTHIANS 10:3,4 (New International Version)”For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.

Quote hi Irene,No Jesus was raised in his original damaged perishable body.As has been pointed out to you, many scriptures directly disagree with this idea.

The kingdom of God–“within” the Pharisees, or “among” the Pharisees?Quote Hi David,The King was among them as he spoke.DANIEL 2:44““And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all the…[Read more]

So, now we have “motive.” Accept this extremely popular symbol and bring more people into the churches.

Some more fun quotes that are shocking.“Various objects, dating from periods long anterior to the Christian era, have been found, marked with crosses of different designs, in almost every part of the old world.

Quote Jesus called 12 Apostles, one hung himself that left 11; later Jesus called Paul, an Apostle, that made it 12 again, period, there are no other apostles. The 12 apostles, which included Matthias would disagree with you. Even Baranabas was called an apostle. (Acts 14:14)To say that there are no other apostles, period, is to disagree with the…[Read more]

Rokka Man, I know you won't answer that last question, and it will hurt your brain.Here is another:The 1611 edition had, “Then cometh Judas” at Matthew 26:36, today's KJV has “Then cometh Jesus”. How could it have been wrong the first time? If it is never wrong, why all the revisions?In fact,In 1851 the American Bible Society compared six…[Read more]

Oh, wait, didn't Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, John, etc fortel that there…[Read more]

Quote Jesus called 12 Apostles, one hung himself that left 11; later Jesus called Paul, an Apostle, that made it 12 again, period, there are no other apostles. I thought Judas was replaced with Matthias. Paul is an apostle (sent one) to the nations.

Lightenup, how would you define “divine nature.””godlike nature” maybe?”nature like that of God's” maybe?The angels, who are once called “gods” in the Psalms do have a divine nature. They do not have a fleshly nature. They are spirits. God is a spirit. I'm not saying they're equal or anything like that. I'm saying they have the same nature,…[Read more]

If you only believe the KJ and believe everything it says, then what of Ps 83:18.That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.Question: Was it a mistake of the KJ to include “Jehovah” in this verse? Or, was it a mistake to exclude it the other 7000 times?What do you think?

Quote KJ is the ONLY authorized english version.That's odd, the apostles didn't use it. Nor did Jesus. hmmmm.Oh, that's right. The KJ came 1500 years later.Quote The truth is not found in multiple composites of bibles…there can only be 1 truth…you don't build a statistic saying 60% of Bible's say HE therefore HE is truth….Agreed, but we…[Read more]

Quote David,Did the Son ever become one with a divine nature or did He always have a divine nature? I see that as making a tremendous difference. Can you show me where the Son “became” a partaker of the divine nature in scripture? It not, then it is biblical that He had the divine nature always. Of course Jesus being a spirit, always had a…[Read more]

Quote If he is God…what he did is the most compassionate thing any being could possible do….If he was God himself, than the “corresponding Ransom” sacrifice would not have been so “corresponding.”Quote This shows how much God loves us, and if Jesus was not God made flesh, his death would be insignificant.Would you say the death of the Son of…[Read more]

Quote The reason why this is such a big deal to me, is because if Jesus was not GOD then the way we christians exalt and worship him would be Idolatry,Yes it would.Hey, didn't Jesus say to worship the Father.

Quote Did you know that the Vatican abolished torture in 1843?–GeorgOfficially yes. Unofficially….no.

Quote But you cannot ignore this verse. Don't pretend it says Jesus when it blatantly says God.Does not scripture interpret itself. YOUR Bible says “God.” Most Bible's do not.
