Quote Are you trying to tell us that the dragon represents men who then are being influenced by some celestial being? No, Jodi, that is what you seem to be saying, that Satan the devil (the dragon) is the carnal mind of man.REVELATION 12:9“So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is m…[Read more]

Quote To me, this passage has never meant that Jesus lived prior to his birth. It could simply mean that he emptied himself of his pride (as Paul is admonishing everyone to do in context), that he took a low position among us, and that even though he is the Son of God (who is Spirit) – he was made like us.–mandyAnd for him to empty himself of…[Read more]

Quote In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God. John 1:1 NETAnd neither is this one clear. It is the most debates scripture on the planet. Please remove it from your “clear” scripture list.If the word is 'with' God, as the context suggests, he is not the same one he is with. Hence, this can of course,…[Read more]

Quote From Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, have been granted a faith just as precious as ours. 2 Peter 1:1 NETAre men to be slaves of a man or a demigod?           Are men to be slaves of a man or a demigod?How can we be sure it's even calling Jesus “God…[Read more]

Quote I claim to know nothing–stuart.Then you will never be wrong.

Quote you really need to seriously consider my Flying Spaghetti Monster conjecture too. When the flying spagetti monster writes an all time best seller over a period of 1600 years or so, we'll give it a look.How does he fly?I know of no way spagetti can “fly.” It can be thrown and stick to things. But I'm not sure the physics of today would…[Read more]

Quote God can not hold us responsible for any evil then because it was all the devils fault.If I convince you to sin, is it all my fault.NOPE.Still your fault.Yet you continue to misunderstand this.The devil didn't MAKE anyone do anything, as though the person were a puppet.JAMES 1:14-15“But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by h…[Read more]

Luke 4:1-13 reports that the Devil endeavored to tempt Jesus to do his bidding. The account relates statements made by the Devil and answers given by Jesus. Was Jesus there being tempted by evil within himself? Such a view does not harmonize with the Bible’s description of Jesus as being sinless. (Heb. 7:26; 1 Pet. 2:22) Although at John 6:70 th…[Read more]

Job 1:6-12 and 2:1-7 tell about conversations between Jehovah God and Satan. If Satan were the evil in a person, the evil in this case would have to be in Jehovah. But that is in complete disagreement with what the Bible tells us about Jehovah as being One “in whom there is no unrighteousness.” (Ps. 92:15; Rev. 4:8) It is noteworthy that the Heb…[Read more]

When speaking with Eve, Satan hid his identity behind a serpent. He is still trying to hide today. He “has blinded the minds of the unbelievers” so as to conceal the extent of his powerful influence.—2 Corinthians 4:4.The Bible is clear.John 13:27Luke 10:18,19Rom 16:20Rev 12:9,10Rev 20:10Heb 2:14Rev 20:2,3

Quote You just can't get your mind around the fact God WILL ULTIMATELY SAVE ALL HIS CREATION.Was Jesus wrong when he asked how the scribes and pharisees were to flee from the judgement of Gehenna?And what would you say of those who are “guilty of everlasting sin”?

Quote David……if it were not predestination then it would have to be SELF SALVATION.No it doesn't.Imagine we're not predistined. Imagine God tells us what he requires in a book.

Quote where does it say the only a few will be meek and not all mankind ultimately will become meek.The statement: 'The meek will inherit the earth' is rather deceptive if really, all will inherit the earth. Why include the word “meek” then?The scripture says “blessed” or “happy” are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth (mat 5:5 I think) as…[Read more]

Quote All will become meek in time. God concluded all under Sin, that He might have (MERCY ON ALL) does that leave anyone out.Listen, GB, he has shown us all mercy and undeserved kindness (grace) in that he gives us the opportunity to live forever, even though we are completely undeserving. But not all accept that opportunity.The meek will…[Read more]
