So, they were afraid to ask: “who are you” because they knew it was The Lord. I get that. That is in fact what the scripture says. It's not what I'm asking. Why would they have any reason to ever have to ask that.QUESTION: If you have a best friend, or a family member you spend your time with for 3 years, what reason would you have to ask them:…[Read more]

Huge difference between clinical death (heart stops working) and biological death. (Actual death, brain function ceases)The two aren't comparable and I don't know why the idea or wording of “clinical death” even exists. Saying someone is clinical dead doesn't mean they are dead: their brain is still functioning. And it's functioning with less…

Just discovered this thread. Quite weird. Has t8 yet shown that fairies don't exist?Their existence would seem to explain lot of weird phenomena, especially related to Disney movies.

“NOT ONE of the disciples had the courage to inquire of him: “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord.” (John 21:12)Remember, he just performed the miracle of filling their net with fish, a miracle he performed when he first met some of them I believe.  They should have instantly discerned that Jesus, who had appeared to the disciple…[Read more]

Where does he live.

T8, yes, we concur. This thread isn't about whether you and I concur, and it's definitely not about convincing someone that they are right, or wrong. It's about testing to see how much you, mike and terr disagree / agree.

I believe mike thinks “Jesus can't be an angel.”I believe T8 has said he can and has argued to that effect. I do not know what terr believes for this. Until t8 or mike say I am wrong, I am writing this in the “does not agree with each other column.”

Quote Does that make sense? I could come up with an analogy if needed.You could, but I don't think it will fit, for the reasons I pointed out above

Quote They KIND OF knew it was the Lord, but were understandably confused as to how exactly the Lord, who they knew was dead and gone, could be sitting there alive.It makes no sense at all.  It was the THIRD appearance to the disciples. Also, reading the account, he just performed a miracle, not just a miracle, but a miracle that would instantly…[Read more]

Quote They eventually recognized it was Jesus, but knowing Jesus was “dead and gone”, they didn't want to be chastized by their Lord (just in case it was really him) by asking, “Who are you sir, because you remind us of Jesus, but we know he died”.–mikeMike, this is an interesting explanation. Except, this was the third time he appeared to the…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Nov. 06 2012,13:47)davidQuote If that is true, why would Jesus disciples, who had become extremely close to Jesus, and who were standing right in front of him, ever have to ask: “who are you,” given that it specifically says, “because they KNEW it was The Lord.”Their mind wasn't blocked from seeing that it was Jesus, “because…[Read more]

So, can you work me through your thought process then, as to why you would be afraid to ask: “who are you”?  Why would eh have to ask this at all.   If I met you today, spent 1 hour with you, then you went away and I saw you 3 days or 3 weeks later, I wouldn't have any reason to ask: “who are you”?   But these were people that basically lived wi…[Read more]

Quote the 40 days that Christ spend with his disciple were more important than the previous 3.5 years to his disciples.Did he “spend” 40 days with his disciples? Or, does scripture tell us that he appeared, disappeared, appeared again, etc? I have learned that almost everyone has a bias or preconceived idea (which just so happens to be what…[Read more]
