Quote (dew @ April 05 2012,09:08) I say – Then who created 'that someone who created God'. Hi Dew, That was my question (too).

Hi Porter,
Yes, I did see that after I wrote it

Here's my question.  Where did God come from? As I see it – at least as far as T8 has informed us ad nauseum – there are only three possibilities: 1.  Someone 2.  Something 3.  Nothing Since nothing can't produce anything, we can rule that out, and since a dead non-intelligent thing can't produce an intelligent living being, that only leaves someone.  We can argue about who that someone is, but by logic, we can firmly establish that someone created God. This is really simple.  A child can understand this.

Hi WIT.

You said…“We can argue about who that someone is, but by logic, we can firmly establish that someone created God“.

I say – Then who created 'that someone who created God'.

Maybe…our brains do not have the capacity to understand it because the God is MORE than us…logical.

My number one rule is to never say on a forum, telephone, email, actual letter so whatever you see me posting is what I would actually say to you in person. I am not shy in the least bit and while I strive for harmony I understand that argument is sometimes needed for discovery. If this were true why were you prying for my birth name? ?I asked you your birth name because I would ask you to your face and so would most people. You are claiming that you were sent by God and yet you conceal your name? What “witness” of God has ever done that? Shalom BD, People have the right to privacy, did you not know this?

Hi all.

EdJ.  
Yes, I agree.
With forums…..members have a right to privacy, especially woman and children and teens.
Members of forums, are advised to change their user name and identity frequently – more so, if they have displayed personal information, including via PM.
Some forums im on allow it, via the UCP.
Criminals join forums too.
The internet is a reflection (image….hey – isnt that in revelation) of the world…..

BTW, the last post (Pg5) was copied, I lost the link.

Take care all ..

Hi Bodhitharta,
Exactly.

A hypocrite is one who acts contrary to what they say or what they believe.
Putting on a show for self glorification is hypocritical.  
The temporal reward of mens praise and recognition is all that is gained from fake christianity.
Our hypocrisy doesnt fool God.  
What we are on the outside is meaningless, if our hearts are unconverted.  
Our lives should be a witness of Christ living in us and converting us.  
True followers of Christ will want to do Gods will, not his own.  
Gods love for us awakens love for him and love for all others who his Son gave his life for.

In perfect christians, there would be no control or fear in the environment if they practice what they preach. I understand that…an I also understand when you have trusted, an been perfect you can be heard crying out My God My God why have you forsaken me…its hard because not even the perfect should feel safe? Charity, have faith. Dont let others ever ruin what you have. yes Im going to have to find out where I stand with compensation!

Bless you Charity.

Hi all.
very good understanding.

“The CARNAL mind is ENMITY agaisnt God” – Romans 8:7.

Emnity is darkness, corruption, rebellion, wickedness. An evil heart of deceit, envy, EMNITY.

Our hearts of stone had to be circumsized.

When you have the Holy Spirit, your hearts are circumsized. But what creeps in and changes our hearts again? How to we 'Get Back' to what we once were?

“Return to me and I will return to you” says the LORD.

Do we have other gods before God? – other Earthly things?

You would have the mind of Christ.

So what is the mind of Christ?

[dew]

Yes EdJ. Thanks.

You would be wanting to do Gods will and not your own.

So everything you do would be for good.
It would not be for the self.
It would be for others.

“For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the spirit is life and peace”

To stay within the world of God of life and peace (and love), you need to let go of the flesh.
What do you consider to be the mind of the flesh.
Do you know what it is?

[dew]

Are you an atheist?
OK Stuart, whats your answer?

[dew]

I was talking to the JWs and they said the difference in them and other denominations and religions is that they have unity.  

I find it “very different” when there are so many opinions.

I like what you say Toby, thanks.
Well said. 
The Greeks, I heard that.

Mikeboll64, thankyou.
I hear what youre saying.
Good one.

Lightenup, I dont know what to say. I registered a few months ago and have been posting. Glad you learnt something, and do take care too?

I may try and get into one topic
Which to pick…. i dont know!

[dew]

I hope I can get this imbed right?

I think so.

14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

dew. People generally communicate differently on the Web than they do face to face and even on the phone. This is both good and bad. Good in the sense that you can speak your mind easier and talk about subjects that might be taboo face to face. But bad when people abuse others when they would not do that to the person face to face.

Hi T8.
Maybe its peoples true colors coming out.

[dew]

Hi Seeking thankyou for you post it was well said.

and EdJ too.
The 'Trinity and non Trinity can both views be correct' thread seems interesting, you have some good looking posts.
I might take a look. (better look).

As for forums….

1)  Reading too much on a computer kind of gets at the eyes.
2)  Imagine the perfect environment (of people).

I think its one of humility and meekness…
kindness, lowliness.

Philipians 2:3  Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.

Collosians 3:12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

1 Peter 3:8  Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded.

ok, im finished now…. i hav a short term attention span….
(Is there a solved button).

See you round on the forum EdJ and Seeking.
Nice talking to you.
Thankyou.

[dew]

Hi Seeking thankyou.

So what would you say is the biggest thing you have learnt then, being on forums.
I mean about forums themselves, and people?

[dew]

Hi Edj thankyou.
I was just wondering, cause I notice a thread called 'Trinity' and another 'Preexistence', and another…. 'Do spirits have bodies' and…. 'Firstborn of/over all creation', and 'Examination of the incarnation doctrine'…. and 'Myth of free will'….

just one category. The ones I mention have had thousands (or almost thousands) of replies.  

I saw the same people had posted all the way through.
I find it amazing that people can go over the same thing… for so long.

??

It's like being stuck in something. Is it any good for those who post?
Could it be more of a fixation on a person, a topic, or something?

I have been on other forums, and seen this.  

So is this REALLY what Jesus wants us to do – go on forums and debate for years over nonsence?

How is it helping?

PLEASE help me understand,
Thankyou EdJ.
