Hey Kenrch,I haven't looked at this stuff for a while, but what I remember is that Druids used to worship evergreen trees. Holly and mistletoe are also plants that don't loose their greenage. (Is that a word?) They don't loose their leaves.OK, let's take it back a step. In ancient times, people were much much more dependant on crops and the…[Read more]

Quote I follow the truth not a denomination. The definition of a cult is anyone who rejects the Tinity.I'm not sure why you say this. I only mention the early Christians and yes, I guess you could consider them a cult based on many definitions, even your definition. But really, a cult isn't defined as anyone who rejects the trinity. I'm not…[Read more]

I've never actually come across anyone who didn't believe that some go to heaven until I talked to Nick. I usually encounter the exact opposite: Everyone goes to heaven–the good, the not so good, etc, and no one will reside on the earth.I'm wondering what everyone thinks of this subject.I'm wondering what scriptures there are that definitely say…[Read more]

It matters to Christ. Calling a weed a rose does not make it a rose.Jesus said: “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.” (John 18:37)Jesus was born to bear witness to the truth. And how does the world celebrate his birth? Humans have taken a pagan celebration and covered i…[Read more]

Nick, I'm curious if there are any threads on 'men going to heaven.'If not, I'd like you to create one please.Quote Why would the Son of God use a subordinate being's voice?EXACTLY. He wouldn't. And since we are told that he “descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,” and since it makes no sence that the Son of God would…[Read more]

Hey Nick.I lost you at that last sentence. I don't understand why you say that at all.Speaking of the voice of the Son of God, while on earth as a human, Jesus performed several resurrections. In doing so, he used his voice to utter commanding calls. For example, when resurrecting the dead son of a widow in the city of Nain, he said: “Young m…[Read more]

Quote Hi david,If he was lower than the angels thenhewasnotanangel. No, he definitely wasn't an angel while on earth. He was a human. Humans are lower than angels. He was therefore lower than angels. Where is the problem here?

1 Thessalonians 4:16 (New American Standard Bible)For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. How should this sentence be taken? Here is a sentence that is very similar in stucture. What does it mean?'For Nick descended the stairs…[Read more]

Quote If Jesus was an angel scripture would have said”he became for a little while lower than the REST OF the angels”It does not .He did not become lower than himself. Often, by changing one word, our preconceptions in thinking are unblocked:Jesus is a king. He humbled himself and took on man's form. In the flesh here on earth, Jesus experienced…[Read more]

Quote And, of course, they did eat of it. Since we know God does not lie, a part of them must have died. But what?Perhaps they died spiritually in God's sight. They were as good as dead from that point on.Or perhaps, Jehovah's use of the word “day” here is one where it's an extended period of time. They lived less than a thousand years. A…[Read more]

Quote Quote (david @ Nov. 26 2005,01:46)Another question you refuse to answer:WHO ELSE IS SPOKEN OF AS HAVING ANGELS UNDER SUBJECTION?Aside from the Creator himself, only one faithful person is spoken of as having angels under subjection—namely, Jesus Christ. (Matthew 13:41; 16:27; 24:31) The apostle Paul made specific mention of “the Lord Jes…[Read more]

Quote No david,Again you read into scripture what is not there . The voice accompanies his arrival but it does not say it is his voice that is heard. He arrives with;The voice of the archangelandThe trumpet of GodWhat King announces his own arrival?You have added “he calls or shouts” that is not written but presumed.Does the voice accompany his…[Read more]

But smoking does belong here. I'm trying to compare it to something, as I've already told you.You don't smoke and refuse to explain that smoking is wrong.I understand why, but I'll say it out loud so everyone else can enjoy:You continually accuse me of speculation because nowhere does the Bible say, Michael is Jesus, although it does indicate…[Read more]

Quote Quote (david @ Nov. 26 2005,01:41)What else can we discern from scripture?“ARCHANGEL” IS NEVER FOUND IN PLURAL IN SCRIPTUREInterestingly, the expression “archangel” is never found in the plural in the Scriptures, thus implying that there is only one. Hence, it is reasonable to conclude that Jehovah God has delegated to one, and only one, of…[Read more]

Is there anything wrong with smoking Nick?

Quote Quote (david @ Nov. 26 2005,01:36)OK, let's teach some things that are written:JESUS CALLS OUT WITH AN ARCHANGELS VOICE.At 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (RS), the command of Jesus Christ for the resurrection to begin is described as “the archangel’s call,” and Jude 9 says that the archangel is Michael.It is reasonable to conclude that only an archa…[Read more]

Did I miss it, or did you answer my question of you smoking somewhere? I'm not implying that you do. It's just you refuse to answer this simple question.

Before I answer that, what is Judgement day, in your opinion?

OK, I'd really like your comments on these things Nick. I don't think you've ever commented on any of them specifically.JESUS IS COMMISSIONED TO DESTROY ALL THE NATIONS AT ARMAGEDDONThere are also other correspondencies establishing that Michael is actually the Son of God. Daniel, after making the first reference to Michael (Da 10:13), recorded a…[Read more]
