Gene, so you don't have anything then?That's what I thought.I ask you about pagan sources and you say it's not in the Bible. We look a the Bible and you say it has pagan sources. Quite the shell game.I'm not actually disagreeing with you that there may be pagans who believed in spirit's who existed before coming to the earth. I was just…[Read more]

Quote Do I understand you correctly that, while as you point out,many may follow Christ encompletely – and even to their great loss – you  are not necessarily labeling them as “antichrist.?I would tend not to label any individual as an antichrist.  Then again, if you are speaking “against” “Christ” you are an anti-Christ. What I'm saying, that I…[Read more]

Is there anyone who wants to discuss SCRIPTURALLY what the kingdom of God is?(It is an important subject, afterall.)Gene, I'm still wondering what you make of the KJ's version Translators comments in the margin.

Sure, If you want to make something bold, press the bold button, then insert or type your text and then press the B button again.If you wanted it to be bold and italics, you'd press the B button, then the I button, and then the text, and then the I button and then the B button.Yes, you can use those feartures in a quote. Experiment.

Quote These all stem from the Great Whore Church and Her daughters. IMOYes, but my question is: What are you basing your “honest opinion” on? Do you have any references that state that Jesus pre-existence is somehow linked to paganism.(I'm not doubting that such references exist. It's just, I'd like to know what you are basing your opinions…

: “To YOU it is granted to understand the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those people it is not granted.I can't believe one scripture (luke 17:20,21) could dislodge so many other scriptures and be used to confuse the unwary to such a degree, especially considering all the other scriptures.

Is there anyone who wants to discuss SCRIPTURALLY what the kingdom of God is?(It is an important subject, afterall.)

I think this site puts it very logically:Christ was addressing these comments to the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the day. It is inconceivable that he would be telling these same Pharisees, who sought to kill him, that the Kingdom of God existed `within' them (Mark 3:6). He rebuked them because they “shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against…[Read more]

Quote Are you saying that someone who follows Christ but has a flaw in some of their understanding is antichrist? I'm saying simply what that scripture in Matthew said. Many think they are on Christ's side, but are not doing the things Jesus commanded them. (The preaching work is a good example–Matthew 28:19,20; Matthew 24:14)“Not everyone…[Read more]

-The King James Translator’s Notes on Luke 17:21 says: “within you: or, among you.”That's funny. There's nothing left Gene. You can no longer just keep saying: 'That's what it says' and ignoring the rest of scripture. Because, what the translators say is that it says: “within you: or, among you.”BUT, the context itself tells us how it should be…[Read more]

Quote That may be a human viewpoint but the wisdom of God is greater.The 'foolishness of God' is greater than man's wisdomNothing I said disagreed with this.

Quote When we quickly label others and speak condecendingly of their understanding it seems to remove all hopes of discussion.Your thoughts?Of course. It's often best to commend them for whatever they did right. Then, only take one point at a time.

Quote I often wonder if we are not to give some space for learniing:ACTS 17:30“True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent.”

Quote With your definition of the “antichrist” comes the dilemna thatmany would be labeled as such.  I think aboout the varience of understanding surrounding Jn.1:1.  I we saying taht the ones who interpret pre-existence incorrectly (whomever that may be) are then “antichrists?SEEKING, good question.Have you considered this:MATTHEW 7…[Read more]

Quote If you understood what Wisdom is that would answer you question. Wisdom is the Balance between GOOD and EVIL INTELLECTS or SPIRITS.No Gene, wisdom is sound judgment, based on knowledge and understanding; the ability to use knowledge and understanding successfully to solve problems, avoid or avert dangers, attain certain goals, or counsel…[Read more]

Quote David come out of those false pagan teachings.I would like some quotes (not from you, actual quotes from anywhere else) explaining the connection between paganism and the belief in Satan as a being.It's really easy to do this with Christmas, easter, the trinity, hellfire, immortal soul, etc.But, can you do it with this? I'm just curious…[Read more]

Quote Quote”FOR I HAVE SEEN GOD FACE TO FACE”, Genesis32:24-34.This is an undisputable example that YHWH can become something in appearance!Was he a man?Quote EXODUS 33:20“And he added: “You are not able to see my face, because no man may see me and yet live.””If he literally did see God's face, being a man, then there is a contradiction. But, th…[Read more]

GENE,Quote Gene, will there be “evil” after the thousand years?Quote Do you really think there will always be evil Gene?Quote How will the world be different then it is today?You have not answered that question yet.No answers…. Well, no biblical answers. Just more yin, and yang philosophy and pretty words:Quote good and Evil come from the same…[Read more]

Quote One question, if you consider that you were wrong then, would that not open the possibility that you are wrong now? That indeed you are giving up on eternal life?Quote An honest but mistaken man, once shown the truth, either ceases to be mistaken or ceases to be honest. Your quote somehow seems connected.

That makes sense, or at least, I understand why you would file it under paganism. But it's not directly linked, like the trinity, like Christmas, easter, etc.
