Quote (Stu @ April 09 2008,18:58)There was mention of the Too Hard Basket in another thread. There are many very good questions that have been asked in these fora for which no one has produced a good answer. Science has a Very Hard Basket and a We Think It Could Be Impossible Basket but no 'Too Hard Basket'.First item:How did the Kiwi get from…[Read more]

thanks Nick…. but I posted the article in the thread I did because it describes chosenone's position so well, a position he ably described in that thread…. I have known about hyper dispensationalists for a long time, but was unaware of the strains that taught universalism, so that was interesting to see and learn about…. so I just posted the…[Read more]

but…. God is omnipotent…. and nothing exists, begins to exist or goes out of existence except that He allows it to be so… AND…. since God is omniscient such that He always knew that evil would exist prior to evil ever coming into existence, whatever type of evil one wishes to speak of, so God, knowing full well the consequences of allowing…[Read more]

Quote (heiscomingintheclouds @ Oct. 07 2006,04:30)I ask all to not hold Nick accountable. It makes it's presense known when discovered and we must not blame the man. I ask that all pray for deliverance of this man. The hatred does not come from the man, but the forces controlling the man. We must pray for the man that he be delivered.It is not…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Aug. 16 2007,07:06)I was searching for “God” and “Abraham” in the NT earlier and noted two passages I found that seems to be a sort of “debate” between Paul and James. What do you think?

Gal 3:1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? Gal 3:2 This is the…

hi Laurel… hope you are well given your view of Jesus, did he have a sin nature, ie was he born with a sin nature like everyone else born of woman? or, if didn't sin for these reasons (his own innate nature or the fact that he was born of woman), did he ever sin prior to going to the cross, or while on the cross?blessings

since John was the youngest of the Apostles, and after having been with Christ and the tremendous life altering effect this factor had on John's life, (look at the tremendous effect Jesus has on lives today and none of us are or were as close to the Savior then they were!!!!)… it therefore requires no stretch of the imagination to think that…[Read more]

t8, your sig line reminded me of this principle:the word of God always accomplishes its purpose,so either the persons heart and mind, though steeped in antitrinitarianism, changes and accepts the biblical trinitarian view… which is the full counsel of God on the subject, or the word of God accomplishes its purpose by hardening hearts when the…[Read more]

this just goes to show that the anti trinitarians are very glad to appeal to church history as evidence for their position… but when the trinitarian does the same then it seems as if a double standard appears and what they want to claim for themselves as evidence for their position (history, early church fathers etc) they turn around and proceed…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 18 2006,15:37)Hi, Christadelpians offer scripture study courses so we should understand where they are coming from.As I understand it their doctrines are quite sound on most matters. However they deny the existence of Satan.They do not major on the need to be born again They also seem to have no understanding of the…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 24 2007,07:22)Logic to scripture…..well, we must to understand. See, this is where so many walk off the main road and follow the little paths along the way.When scripture says something like: God is One. We must use our logic to understand that scripture is telling us that God is a SINGLE person. Otherwise, you develop…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 24 2007,07:03)Logic defends what it can see, touch, hear, smell, taste, and understand. Logic tells us that spring comes before summer; a child is first conceived before it is born, a God who says he is One is mathmatically ONE.We look to nature to help us in our logic. We understand God by his creation. It is right and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 17 2007,07:02)Hi E, Logic seems to suggest that if the trinity is true it is written?Where?ah well… can't expect you to admit y7ou are wrong about anything now can we Nick…. too bad really….anyways….logic teaches us the Trinity is true because of the concept that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all God having…[Read more]

while I am in agreement, generally speaking with this thread, eg that Rome is a false apostate body and that, as Nick said… those within her need to “come out of her my people” says the Lord….I would like to comment on where Nick said: “Salvation is reduced to infant baptism and spiritual food is reduced to bread and wine.”actually the…[Read more]

ps… Jesus is here called “Lord of Hosts”…”LORD OF HOSTSA name or title of God frequently used in the Old Testament, always translated “Yahweh of Hosts” (‏יְהוָֹה צְבַאוֹת‎, Yehōwāh çebhāʾōth) in the American Standard Revised Version, since Yehweh, never ʾǍdhōnāy, is used in this phrase. Evidently the meaning of the title is that all created…[Read more]
