Hi Nick.Which scripture that you quoted disagreed with anything I said? Or which scripture that you quoted show that some are to be exactly like Jesus?

Quote Anyone can be a SATAN or A DEVIL Right, and BACK TO MY QUESTION: Who is the Satan or Devil that is being referred to here: 1 JOHN 3:10-12.In other words:WHO IS THE WICKED ONE THAT CAIN ORIGINATED WITH?

If “satan” in the Bible is just some “wicked one” could someone explain this verse:1 JOHN 3:10-12“The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Everyone who does not carry on righteousness does not originate with God, neither does he who does not love his brother. For this is the message which YOU have heard from b…[Read more]

Quote A. I can see no purpose in Christ having preexistance that would help to fulfill God's plan to make us like Jesus. Does God deal in abstract knowledge without purpose?Martian, the problem with this, is you believe that it is “God's plan to make us like Jesus.” No scripture says this.There is a scripture that says, for example: “become…[Read more]

Sure. But as you say, a government.

Quote It appears, then, that we have to now consider when “nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom”The Bible tells us:“For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 ALL THESE THINGS ARE A BEGINNING OF PANGS OF DISTRESS.In the sa…[Read more]

Quote You seem to be the only one with this problem. Therefore, it would be almost next to impossible for t8 to investigate your issue.I was thinking the same–that it's odd that it's just you that is experiencing a problem like this–well, you, and Irene, and IM4truth.

Yes, I know that scriptures well. My Bible translates the word as “overseer,” not Bishop.

Quote As you say it is a government.Now, there's exactly two of us that say that.

“The kingdom of God will be taken from YOU and be given to a nation producing its fruits .”

Quote A few decades back scientists faced a dilemma. From the physics that they knew at the time bumblebees could not possible fly. That possibility simply did not fit within the physical laws and universe that they knew. Actually, this is a myth.. It was a good story, one that the media and general public liked.Here is the…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Jan. 20 2009,13:51)Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 13 2009,11:47)Hi 94, Are you expecting to be ordained by God as a bishop?Hi Nick:Yes, I am.94, a Catholic Bishop?Because if so, two things:1. You have just raised my perception of Bishops.2. I have a thousand questions that you won't like.

Quote A kingdom is where the Kings WILL is Done.Gene, you seem to think that a “kingdom” is a place. But the Bible makes plain that it clearly more than a place. And it is clearly made up of people. This error is similar to the word “church.” People think of it as a building. But the word that is translated as “church” in the Bible makes it…[Read more]

You mean IM4Truth, then Irene, then Tiffany, were all the same person. This is confusing. What is your real name?

Quote Hi David. Yes, He did tell His disciples to do that (Matt.28:19-20), but notice they never did go “to the nations”.So you're saying his followers didn't follow him? They didn't listen to him?Either they did as he said in Matthew 28:19-20, or they didn't. You are saying they didn't. Why wouldn't they? Quote Hi David. The world came…[Read more]

These are the questions:Can we worship and honour God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow “Christianize” these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves?Can we obey through disobedience?

Two thousand years before Christ, there was an ancient celebration that became unlike any other. It was a sun feast, motivated by the fear of man. The Roman Saturnalia, a festival dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture, and to the renewed power of the sun lasted seven days. It build up to the day of the sun, the rebirth of the sun, or the…[Read more]

2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-17“Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Béli·al? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? And what agreement does God’s temple have with…[Read more]

Quote those who celebrate christmas often tell me, give us a verse that forbids us to celebrate christmas. i can't give any. Obviously, you won't find a verse that say: “Don't celebrate Christmas.”Nor will you find a verse that says: “Don't smoke cigarettes.”But we can use BIBLE PRINCIPLES to work things out. Jesus often taught in principles, not…[Read more]

Quote They (Israel) rejected Him, and crucified Him, this rejecting Him (Jesus), has nulified their entrance into the “kingdom”, with Christ as their “king”. (That is why His deciples never did go into the nations). Chosenone, this is where you lose me. I completely agree with everything you say up until your last sentence. Jesus did have…[Read more]
