Quote “There are archangels. . .These are fact.”–Nick.Nick, considering how often you tell me to not go beyond what you think is written you seem to sometimes do the same. You state that it is a fact that there “are archanges,” in plural. Which scripture speaks of more than one “chief angel.”(I don't mean nor want nor will pursue speaking about…[Read more]

Didn't you say somewhere that you had recently (about 3 or 4 days ago) posted your born again experience?I can't find it nick.david.

Due to lack of interest (only 4 people voted) I think we should erase this thread just to clear up some space. I find there are a lot of threads on here and it is making it harder and harder to find things.

Quote Yes.I have moved it into 'Truth or Tradition' because the word 'Omnipresent' doesn't appear in the bible as far as I know.If anyone thinks it should be in 'Biblical Doctrine' I would consider it. I do not think omnipresence is Biblical.“Christ entered . . . into heaven itself, now to appear before the person of God for us.”It seems to me tha…[Read more]

MATTHEW 7:16-20“By their fruits YOU will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit; a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Every tree not producing fine fruit g…[Read more]

Casey, I am wondering what you think of the post above about birthdays. I think that Christmas and birthdays were one of the first things you mentioned to me. What would you say to the three questions I asked?david

Hi Seeking truth,Quote Hi,The JWs are often referred to as modern Arians. But Arius, for all his faults, did not come up with new doctrines such as Jesus being an angel called Michael, or all men being forgiven at death.These bizarre follies come from an approach to scripture that is poor and disordered lacking proper care with proofs and the…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,Did Peter and Paul set up a new RELIGION? Interestingly, some of the Jews asked whether the activity of Jesus Christ represented “a new teaching.” (Mark 1:27) Later, some Greeks thought the apostle Paul was introducing a “new teaching.” (Acts 17:19, 20) It was new to the ears of those who were hearing it, but the important thing w…[Read more]

Quote Nick you are missing my point in the midst of you chaotic semantics sir.–CaseyThat tickled my mind. It's a feeling I often have.Quote That's it??? Wrong number? Searching? Yes, aren't we all? I responded with many a reply and that is all you have to say? I am thinking I hit a nerve and you cannot repond to my remarks. Very disppointed…[Read more]

Quote Well we preach the true gospel and keep away from the doctrines of men.In short: Make disciples. It does appear to me that to “make disciples” is one of the basics. It was a command from Christ. (Mat 28:19,20) Jesus commanded his followers to Go and make disciples, AND TO TEACH THEM ALL OF THE THINGS HE TAUGHT THEM. This would include the…[Read more]

Casey, I'm curious to know what you think of the above post, about birthdays. I believe that Christmas and maybe birthdays was one of the first things you mentioned to me. I'm curious what your responce to the above 3 questions would be. How would you answer them?david

Quote Hi Nick.I'm looking for your recent born again experience that you posted 2 days ago. I'm having trouble finding it.Still looking. Can anyone other than Nick help.

Questions:1. Why do you think the early Christians refused to celebrate birthdays (including Jesus birthday)? There is no record of Christians celebrating Jesus birth for hundreds of years. Why did they refuse to do so? (I can provide a string of quotes saying they didn't, if you like, showing that the early Christians regarded them as a…[Read more]

Hi Seeking,Quote I do not read any doubt in Paul's writings on his eternal standing prior to his death.No, nor do I Seekingtruth.But I don't read any doubt in those that are to say: “Lord, Lord…” either.Quote While I appreciate the history on birthdays, I prefer to stick to what scripture has to say about it since through out history you can…[Read more]

Hi NINE, you stated:Quote Where I was agreeing with you about the 144,000 is that I do not believe that they are literal Jews as some are teaching. I think everyone on here would disagree with you nine, except for me.Quote When we have believed God's testimony regarding his giving His Son to pay the judgment that is against us, we come to him…[Read more]

Quote So not all die before the return of the King, who then sets out to rule the earth from Jerusalem.My question Nick, is who do they rule over? They “rule the earth” So there are people on the earth they rule over, yes?

'Hey Paul and Peter, do you think there is no salvation outside of your new religion? You are just men.'

Quote David: As to whom we are to rule and reign over as kings and priests the position held by premillenialist is that those who survive the tribulation period will be given the extent of living with Christ on Earth and we will be reigning over them in the New Jerusalem. As to priests we are alike with Christ in the priesthood of intersession and…[Read more]
