Quote Actually I thought this was going to be another one of those threads where people try to say that GOD cannot do stuff, In an attempt to prove that GOD lied or that he can not do everything.Speaking of lying and stuff God cannot do, many Bibles translate Titus 1:2 to say God “cannot lie.”It's just not in his nature.Quote Malachi 3:6?”For I,…[Read more]

Quote God will rule and be over all (including Jesus).Mandy, you are alluding to this scripture I believe:1 CORINTHIANS 15:24, 28“Next, the end, when he HANDS OVER THE KINGDOM TO HIS GOD and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. . . .But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son h…[Read more]

Quote It had nothing to do with Greek philosophy then and has nothing to do with Chinese philosophy now.What does it have to do with now? How does it apply today? Or is this scripture now useless?

Quote Fact is if you really understood Scripture like you think you could explain your points with very little uotes .–GeneSo, if you understand scripture, you won't need to use scripture. Got it. Sure. Ok.But Gene, did you ever consider that the point of using scripture, isn't for your sake, but for the sake of those who listen to you?Believe…[Read more]

Quote Not true. I've debated with you before, David. I'm aware of your style. I do respect you, as you know, but you and I debate very little. There is a reason for this.When I said “I never talk that way” I meant I never say things like “ The carnal minded man tends to shy away from scripture. The spiritual man uses scripture. The carnal…[Read more]

Quote David………I have quoted to you scriptures but you just change what they say as you have with many scriptures quoted to you Yes, you've quoted 3 scriptures. But good luck finding them. It took me hours. Gene, you tend not to use scriptures. You use propaganda and false reasoning. One such thing is that you continually mention I'm a…[Read more]

Quote What do you not know about the kingdom of God?I know that it's something Jesus talked about a lot, and something this forum does not talk about a lot.

Why is it that the kingdom was Jesus main theme, that it was what he talked about most–but that no one here can discuss it?

Quote The Law was in effect long after Jesus arrived. Jesus was born under the Law and lived the Law. He told us that he did not come to take the Law away! (I won't quote the scripture…..you know which one it is, don't you?).Yes, I do know which one it is. But he didn't say: “I did not come to take the law away.” He said something like: “Do…[Read more]

https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=17;t=1067;st=400Eppy was going to discuss this with me and said he wrote out a very long post, but somehow lost it. He never did reply. No one seems to want to.

Quote The Error of using the NIV to prove your doctrines KJV vs. The newer translationsI'd like to point out that at Luke 17:20,21, both the NIV and the KJ versions mentioned here, have alternate translations mentioned in the margin/footnote.The alternate translation matches what almost all modern translations give: “in your midst” or “among…[Read more]

Gene, I get so confused by your comments, where you start quoting a scripture, sort of and then just drift into your own thoughts. Why not use the bold, or italics or even quotation marks to set the scripture aside. People tend to respect God's word more than man's thoughts. Why not use that to your advantage?
