I took the dictionary meaning and pasted it. !, 2 and 4 would suit what your trying to say. number 4 would suit the image of Jesus that churchianity is serving up today.
Trinitarians say he is co eternal with God the father. but where do you hear or how much do you hear the supposed other partner venerated as much as jesus?

I decided to look more closely at John 1:1 -20 . You can read up to and including verse 7 and have no reference to the word having a gender. You can all debate this passage till the cows come home if you want. What im looking at is in tradition.
Verse 10 is the first t5ime a gender is mentioned, and an identity is given. Verse 1…[Read more]

Jesus death and resurrection was to fulfil the OT sin offering. The lamb without blemish offered with the blood drained then burnt. One part of the law that few people know or pass over, no pun intended, is that if anyone had touched the offering other than the high priest the whole thing was null and void.
The answer is in the verse, “for I…[Read more]

I have a Jehovah’s Witness friend in Melbourne and asked him this question.
Why did Jesus tell Mary not to touch him straight after he had risen?
My friend had to go back through 40 years of watchtower magazines (JW teaching/theology magazine) and could still not find the answer. I am certain of why I believe Jesus said it. I will tell later,…[Read more]

Im not sure who said it but wether paul or jhon or the others, “being made like us aswe are, subject to temptations as we are.”
However or who ever you believe what jesus was before resurrection. He was human and if you believe it, and divine nature, that divine nature he put behind him/on the back burner, His decision, until his…[Read more]

Just a quick question, an intentional sidelight,
based on an observation, Did the resurrected Jesus in his fleshly form before finally going to be by His Fathers side, have blood,? he told Thomas to put his hand in the side and the palms, but no blood was mentioned. and the slain lamb in the OT had to have the blood drained before of…[Read more]

Australia is the home of invertor-fertilisation, lesbian cpls get pregnant by this method to have kids with any father presence.
Australia’s social security system is far different to any other. So what you asked, gay cpls get that anyway if proven to be lover/an item. Cpl, and so on. In other countries I think one of the reasons to t…[Read more]

I thought the same thing when summing up what others were saying, What did this have to do with the OP.

here in Brisbane the same question comes up. Now, in Australia the social security system acknowledges the living together of, Marrieds, de-facto and gay couples, 2 gays cannot live in the same place with separate benefits, First if 2 Christian guys want to share a house they must prove they are NOT shacking up. as in show bills and rent…[Read more]

What does figurative, symbolic mean? the Father already had this idea of the lamb in place of sin. so therefore it had already been slain, from the foundation of the world, The literal conclusion of the old testament sacrificial lamb for sin was Jesus death and resurrection. yes he became the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. you (…[Read more]

you said
It is about faith. If you follow all of Jesus’ teachings and so believe you will come to stop sinning then you will be credited with not sinning even before you stop sinning as you persevere in that belief.
A true Christian does not have his dirty rags hid by Jesus’ righteousness but rather has learned or is learning to wear the…[Read more]

Here you plainly show you have NO IDEA of the redemption Plan of Father. He chose to sacrifice his son in OUR PLACE so that through His Son we are righteous. If you just follow jesus teaching you become religious. That way you don’t have a realationship with the father. as jesus said “they may know you the only true God, and jesus C…[Read more]

Gene,
This is my thoughts on the ‘job’ of jesus as in the glorified, resurrected personage.
Seeing as He was our sacrifice, as in him in our place. Father sees us as jesus, our sins forgiven as jesus, the Son of God, in in our place being in Christ. God see jesus white robes not our rags, so the hears our prayers, BUT as jesus the man…[Read more]

what you said reminds me of one of the psalms as in almost word for word, Many believe the 7 letters to the seven churches are the prophetic history of the church through the ages, the maind body of the church having the features of its corresponding age.

We all agree the Father (creator. Yahweh Jehovah and a few other names.) is eternal, no entity created him. The one called God’s son ie the son of God or the only begotten son of God, is both in spiritual and physical form. The word begotten means born or created out of. so either way both physical and spiritual come out of the Father.

your site speed statement is covering all the tool bar buttons, cant to much with it, and yes its is slow generally.
davidH replied to the topic Heaven Net background. in the forum Feedback, Suggestions, & Features 9 years, 7 months ago
it is harder to see what was in the tool bar, Any gold writing should be BOLD. esp the logon word buttons.
To me the tool bar looked ok/good enough. but if the back ground could be toned down from white it would be better. I have glaucoma, and a large screen of white creates glare. More people have this than many people realise.
