Such a p…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 06 2005,05:31)Hi E, I hold up a mirror to your words and those of theologians and when you see what they say you seem to feel personally affronted? Why is this? They are all interpretations or logical derivations of what you say and yet you do not like to see them in reflection. I do not mean to personally upset you but…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 05 2005,10:11)Hi E, The God that was with God is not that God he was with.Now please also can you be consistent. You say the Word was fully God so you say there are two deities. So are there two deities in one God now or two Gods? I thought you say they are two persons in one God not two individual deities in one God? So…[Read more]
