7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life, of the Lamb slain, from the foundation of the world.

Ed J,

There is no rule about asking yes or no questions and you are to take turns. This is NOT a GAME, though you seem sure bent on treating it like one.

Hi Jodi,

Conversation is about the participants providing input into the conversation.
If you want it to be exclusively about what you believe, then write a blog.

This is about TRUTH and using scripture to support your understanding, using questions to others to clarify what a person does and does not believe. I will ask questions when I want to and you can choose to answer or not answer them when you want to.

Hi Jodi,

Choosing to not answer a question is indicative of one who does not seek…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

Thank you Jodi,

I’m engoying our conversation, as you are helping me to understand your view.

People here sometimes resist my efforts, like Gene: who says he has no “Free Will”
And merely belittles others, like me, who seek reconciliation of our views of truth.

Gene, take a lesson from Jodi, and actually listen to what others say and addre…[Read more]

Hi Ed J,

Mary became pregnant to a human by the power of the Holy Spirit. God created the egg and the sperm to unite to create another human life.

The son of David who would fulfill all of God’s will, was going to come to us strictly through God’s will and power, by a virgin birth.

Hi Jodi,

Your answer is unclear???

Who’s sperm are you a…[Read more]

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Hi Jody,
So you claim John 17:5 is wrong? What do you say it ‘should’ say then?
John 17:5
“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
Jody, I’m not interested in you explaining what you believe other versus mean, or what you believe the Bible means in general.…

Edj….Emanuel, was a “name” given a son of Isaiah, which was a “sign” given to the king of Judah, to show him that God was “with him”. It was never meant the person with that name himself was GOD. Jesus was also a “sign” from GOD, that GOD is “with us”. HE was “in” THE MAN JESUS, via the Holy Spirit, reconciling the world unto himself.…

Edj…..That what you people do, you take a few words out of a complete sentence and try to make a false teaching out of them. You must apply the complete sentence and it’s proper “context” to understand the truth. Yes Jesus came from above, his whole existence was from above, the same applies to us, we all were from above, that’s where God…
