Quote And somehow you allegorise this as referring not to what is plain, the heavens and the earth, but men?Sorry but you may be convinced but I am far from being convinced. nick, in certain places, as I've pointed out, the earth, refers to people, and not the planet.Secondly, since there are so many scriptures that say the earth will not be made…[Read more]

Quote The trinity doctrine does not state that in rank all of the Godhead are equal. But as far as the nature of God his substance and his essence the Father,Son and Holy Spirit is One and equal.What does that even mean? I would like everyone who believes God is a trinity to give their definition of what this means.That way, we can see all the…[Read more]

For some reason, certain scholars hold that Rev 1:11 is spurious. It does not appear in Revised Standard, New English, Jerusalem Bible, New American Bible, Challenor-Douay Version.Revelation 21:6, 7 indicates that Christians who are spiritual conquerors are to be ‘sons’ of the one known as the Alpha and the Omega. That is never said of the rel…[Read more]

Imagine that Jehovah is King of eternity. King in every right. King of all.And imagine that he sets up a king to be head of his kingdom. That king which Jehovah has set in place is also a king, without question, having all the power and authority bestowed upon him by the very king of eternity.Of course, there are other kings, people with…[Read more]

“God went on to say: ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.’” (Genesis 1:26)When God said, “Let us make man in our image, according…[Read more]

Quote Hi David,You say”In Rev 22:16, Jesus is referred to as a bright morning star. So, it's not to much of a leap to think angels could figuratively be called morning stars. “It is an established scriptural principle.Rev 1″20The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are…[Read more]

JOB 38:4-7“Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth? Tell , if you do know understanding. Who set its measurements, in case you know, Or who stretched out upon it the measuring line? Into what have its socket pedestals been sunk down, Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of G…[Read more]

Hi Tiffany,Here are some things that the scriptures say:MATTHEW 28:19-20“Go therefore and make disciples of people ofall the nationsbaptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system o…[Read more]

Yes, I know. All I'm saying it that it struck me as odd a while back that I don't remember the Bible anywhere specifically saying: “Jesus ate…” or “Jesus had eaten…”But yes, of course he shared that passover lamb.

Hey Buster. You write:Quote Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him (Christ), they worshipped him:Matthew 28:17 (Darby Translation)And when they saw him, they did homage to him.Matthew 28:17 (Young's Literal Translation)and having seen him, they bowed to him.The Gk word “proskyneo” can be translated worship, if that's how the translators decide to…[Read more]

Quote David,We have an account of Him cooking one in a pan, of His blessing fish for consumption, and I believe it is required for Him to eat the passover meal. Yes,he would have eaten the passover lamb. But it just struck me for some reason that there is no account of him eating meat. I don't even know why I thought that was odd at the time.…[Read more]

Quote 2. The flood took place further back in history and the geneolgies have gaps which cause us to place the date of the flood too recent in history.I personally think that carbon dating was thrown off because scientists use the amount of …. carbon coming through the atmosphere now to calculate how much carbon entered things back then. (I'm…[Read more]

It's odd. I was actually thinking about this about 2 months ago. I really can't remember any accounts where we are told that he specifically is eating meat.

Quote The scriptures do say…I Tim 3:16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.Interesting the word manifest is, phaneroo which means: to make manifest or **visible** or known what…[Read more]

Quote I agree with pretty much everthing you said. But not the above. I would only add that the Reason they crucified the Messiah Jesus, was not just because he said he was the Son of God, but to the Jews he was claiming to be God.John 10:33-36 (King James Version) 33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for…[Read more]

I find duct tape works well. Makes a mess though.

Quote Sorry NH.The scriptures speaks of three beings.Matt 28:19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:The scriptures speak of three. Your Bible has “holy ghost” trying to show that the holy spirit is a person. If we translated “spirit” as ghost everywhere in the…[Read more]

Hi Mercy. Long time no see.What are you saying?Quote If it was universal then how did the egyptians and babylonians miss it? I believe this flood topic could use more discussion. Is there a thread on this…anyone?

what do others think of this scripture? I have been quoting it quite a lot in reference to Christmas. What do people think?

Quote so if we do not get involved in the religion of Christmas is that enough for you?What's left? The gross commercialism?
