Quote The Son is equal to God but not equal to GOD.  See the difference?  –kathi.Actually, I'm having trouble seeing it.Quote and that one true GOD has had a son who shares His nature and perfection and is called “God” by His Father. Kathi, I'm curious to know where you believe this exists.  I know that there are about 5 occurences where we se…[Read more]

“Just as you are not aware of what is the way of the spirit in the bones in the belly of her that is pregnant, in like manner you do not know the work of the God, who does all things.”

Quote Kerwin…….thats (ALL) Spirit is , it is just simply (intellect) –gene.No offence, Gene, but thousands of scriptures disagree with you. Let's look at them, one by one…..

Quote (Gene @ April 01 2009,17:28)David…….Spirit is Power of the intellect. Jesus described it as such. He said the Spirit is like the wind (a power) you cant see it (thoughts are the same) But you can see the effects of it, (fruits produced in ones life). So is everyone born of the Spirit of GOD. peace and love to you and…[Read more]

Quote We can know God by looking at his creation as well. The bible is one way to know God. But those who do not have a bible are still held accountable….. Interesting, huh?Are they? Are those who have never been given a chance to hear the good news held accountable? Is this what the Bible says?

Quote Spirit is simply intellectWhy is it that despite reason, logic, the Bible, and dictionaries, do you keep asserting this.True, sometimes the spirit is portrayed as intellect. But other times it is portrayed in a way that doesn't fit that. Clearly, the spirit is bigger than intellect. It is a word that can be used in a variety of ways.

Oh, sorry, I meant Mandy. You two look so much alike, I always get you mixed up.Quote I'm actually trying to pass Nick, but he posts in his sleep! true, but when most of your posts are just questions, and little remarks, it adds up quickly.It might be that he lives in NZ that he seems to be up late.

Yes, it's clear. I just found it so weird that you would just hand this to me.

Quote BTW David, you know what it was that I asked.It's always best to be clear–especially when someone hands you the ability to end the discussion so easily. So I repeated what I thought you said. And now you are backing away. I understand.Quote I'll pick up on this post when the thread is opened.Given the time that has passed so far, I'm not…[Read more]

Quote again…for david..he ignores my congruence with this thoughtAs I said, I know you are saying you are agreeing. But all along, what you're really doing is planting doubt, and….attacking, perhaps not “your” god, but you are attacking the idea that the God of the Bible exists.Or as I said:Quote When you say you are not attacking God, what…[Read more]

IF not for the poetic use of the words morning and evening, there would be nothing to discuss.The fact that according to the Bible, we are still in the seventh day bears out that the days were longer than 24 hours.If I remember, the phrase evening and morning don't appear after the seventh day. God rested on the seventh day. HEBREWS…[Read more]

I realize you keep “saying” you are not attacking God…and then go on to attack God's Word, the Bible.”How do you know that the bible is REALLY God's word?. . . .I am serious questioning the validity and authenticity of the bible. The bible is said to be GOD's word.. correct. Well the more and more I read the bible the more and more I see that…[Read more]

Quote Hey…this is my 6000 post!! (Good grief).–cindyAre you trying to pass me?

Quote If we adopt your view then we are impersonal also for we are created in the image of these supposed impersonal powers. Can't you see this? If impersonal powers created us in their image then we are also impersonal.As far as I can tell, Gene does not worship a personal God.Gene seems to worship power.

Quote Good question thinker thinks He was talking to Jesus, and as i believe you do to. But the word Jesus is not in the text as you have noticed so Where does anyone get the idea it is Jesus that is being talked about here,As do I also. He wasn't talking to himself. He was talking to someone. Let US make man in OUR image. You never answered…[Read more]

Quote Hi Erick,The point is that unless you are established in Jesus then any old hawker of religion can make you it's slave.Yes, good point Nick. The Jews who had the wrong religion although believing God was on their side (and who certainly weren't established in Jesus), were approached by Christ's disciples and became slaves to Christ and to…[Read more]

Stu, I know you should be able to at least try to understand that if I say:“A long time ago, the heavens and the earth came to be”that it's not a very specific statement time wise. It says nothing about the order of the heavens being created and the earth coming to be. It doesn't say one came first, or that they both came about at the same time,…[Read more]

Quote You can say that the 6 days were consecutive 24 hour periods within the time referred to as 'the day' meaning era. So, stu, are you suggesting that in that second instance, “day” means “era”?Because earlier you said: “ it very clearly and distinctly says DAYS. Not periods, eras, whatever. I think false witness is a sin, is it not?“In one…[Read more]

We really should be having this discussion in the appropriate thread.  It's frustrating that there is a thread for this exact subject, but I have no access to it.But, concerning JOHN 1:1, I thought I should provide a link to the “coptic version of the Bible” thread.https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin….03;st=0The Greek of John 1:1 has no…[Read more]
