its interesting you bring this topic up Nick. I was just talking with my father who was trying to make the point that JW's are the only ones who are truly preaching the Gospel of Jesus…which is the kingdomI said thats true…but the fact is they are preaching the “wrong” message…its not that we are not suppose to preach “God's kingdom is at…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 26 2008,13:38)Hi LU, Absolutely. Preach the word.Preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.Teaching the unsaved only makes them more fit for the fire. Those who are yet of the world cannot receive what is given of the Spirit.agreed…God draws…once he draws them and they begin to be “made over” then we can water…Romans…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 27 2008,02:12)Agreed but what about this verse in Rev 12:99 “The huge dragon, the ancient serpent,  who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it”. Don't you think the Sepent of Eden and Serpent or Dragon of Revelation one and the same…[Read more]

Demons never were angels-that is not written anywhere.Hi Nick,God inflicts…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 26 2008,14:42)Isa 1:18…..> nearly all “christianity” believes as you stated thy view it the same way. From your and there view point You God does not Know the end from the beginning then there is no stability in His foreknowledge, there is not absolute Sovernty of God, because he doesn't really know the outcome of…[Read more]

2 Timothy 2:14…….14Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. Blessings

Quote (dirtyknections @ June 21 2008,05:49)I understand what you are saying…but the fact of the matter is..the bible says God does not try us with evil…and that evil can not come from him because he is pure and ultimately is love…and HE NEVER took or takes responsibility for the type of evil that originated with the Devil…because he is…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 25 2008,13:59)DK….If you are guided by the Spirit it has nothing to do with your own free will, “for He (God) works in us Both to (WILL) and do of His good Pleasure. 1 Cor 2:14,15 you quoted proves my point completely, the man without the Spirit, does not accept the things of God, because he (cannot) understand them…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 25 2008,14:22)So finally DK has again openned his pet topic called “free will” here only he was annoyed with me I know that. That's why he started commenting negatively that I was a puppet to Gene. Let him prove this so called free will. When somebody is led by the Spirit of God where is the question of free will here. I…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ June 25 2008,03:57)Quote (dirtyknections @ June 25 2008,00:14)I too…agree with the thoughts in this thread. At 1 John 5:16, 17, John evidently refers to willful, knowing sin in speaking of “a sin that does incur death” as contrasted with one that does not.A “sin that does incur death”…would also be sinning against the holy s…[Read more]

either by our hands or anyone elses

The fact that GOD owns the lives of everything is why we have the command on murder…Life is not ours to take

Our life is not ours anyway is waht I am trying to say..Jesus life while given by GOD is not truly his..and the same thing goes for us..Genesis 9:4-6…. 4 “But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man,…[Read more]

Also..Jesus knew full well, “the temple would be broken down and raised up again in three days”…

Quote (Not3in1 @ June 25 2008,04:26)Adam,I am trying to counter what DK is saying.  He believes that God is the one who truly sacrificed and Jesus was merely the “thing” sacrificed (as he is now using “money” as a parallel example of Christ's sacrifice).God was the giver of the sacrificial lamb in Jesus Christ.  As a parent I am aware of what t…[Read more]
