thanks gene and meercat….blessings.ken

equivocation Nick, and the hits just keep on coming!! lol,…. this yet another example of ungodly irrational use of your mind…. you see, “Greek philosophy” is not “logic”….the Greeks did not invent logic, God did… the reeks had no corner on logic, it has been in use as long as God ha been in existence, and humans have been using it to try…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 18 2008,17:42)GB, Should we start with logic or what is written?here is a beautiful example of starting with logic, though of course it happens in the context of attempting to show disdain for logic, a response that has no scripture in it whatsoever, which makes the example all the more ironic and humorous…on the one…[Read more]

Quote (meerkat @ Dec. 19 2008,05:14)I haven't got all scriptures or pursued this in depth, looking for discussion and applicable scriptures.When I read scriptures I see a mention of seeds, planting, sowing and remnants being saved. I have been wondering if anyone else has thought that a meaning for the “remnant being saved” is that while flesh…[Read more]

let me add that all these historical evidences are good for the strengthening of the faith of the already faithful…. when it comes to the bible being the word of God, I believe that ultimately it comes down to the Holy Spirit's illumination and conviction that the words are the words of God…. for more on this, read Calvin's Institutes, Book I,…[Read more]

Quote (dirtyknections @ Dec. 11 2008,06:25)OK..lemme take it even further..lets talk about why we believe that the bible is GOD's word…I am going to put it very bluntly…you and I believe(d) that the bible is GOD's word because of the area of the world you (me) were born…Simply put, we were born into an area of the World where the prevailing…[Read more]

Quote (dirtyknections @ Dec. 11 2008,06:01)Ok…lemme just put it out there everyoneI am serious questioning the validity and authenticity of the bible. The bible is said to be GOD's word.. correct. Well the more and more I read the bible the more and more I see that the bible and the “GOD” of the bible named “YHWH” are not as in unity with the…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 10 2008,18:45)Quote Tradition CAN be contrary to Scripture, but it is not NECESSARILY contrary to Scripture. This is a very good point.ty blessings,ken

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 14 2008,14:49)Hi E, Still waiting for where Jesus or the prophets or apostles taught that God is a trinity.that is because you are afraid to read the above posts, and because you are too prideful… for if you would, you would have your answer… but your faith is too weak for that Nick… it could not handle reading…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 14 2008,14:45)Hi e, It is not for anyone to prove it is false but for you to justify such a strange belief.Why does anyone need to prove something to be untrue if scripture does not show it's existence? Scripture never teaches it and neither tradition nor any so called divines can override scriptural truth.Nick I am sick…[Read more]

Quote (Tiffany @ Dec. 14 2008,13:17)Wow Ken I don't like to be rude, but for your purpose, I doubt that to many are going to read all that you have posted. Just to much. If you would combine some to shorten them, would help. Do know your Song.Love Irenedon't worry about it, that's not rude at all…. besides, it wasn't meant for “people” in…[Read more]

Quote (Tiffany @ Dec. 14 2008,13:45)No where in the Bible can you find the trinity. The Father is above all.. Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.Love Irenenowhere in the bible can you find the bible saying that there will be 66 books in the bible and only 66 books… so please stop with the…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 30 2008,12:31)Nick……..Jesus taught salvation by obedience of the Law to the Jews, Paul taught we are saved by GRACE and that GRACE was NOT of the Law. When the rich young ruler came and ask him what must he do to inter the Kingdom of God< Jesus said keep the commandments and even listed some of them. But Paul said…[Read more]

John 1:18In this verse we face a problem which we have not faced before in our appraisal of verses in which Jesus is either described or addressed as θεός, theos. Here any conclusions we reach must be made on the basis of determining the original reading in the Greek text. Did the original text of John 1:18 read (1) ὁ μονογενής, ho monogenēs, (2)…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 11 2008,14:39)Hi E, People use scripture all day long to support their false doctrines. It is very malleable.BTW, I might very well say that you are one of those people

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 11 2008,14:39)Hi E, People use scripture all day long to support their false doctrines. It is very malleable.N originally said Quote Logic is a human measure.It does not understand or rule God.Nick you miss the point completely, or is it the case that the point was made, and rather than admit your error, which I cannot…[Read more]

more sacred name cultish mumbo jumbo….

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 11 2008,15:27)HI E, Despite your cry that it it is justified you are only revealing the same bias as the authors. Do not add to what is written.N, despite your cry that it is not justified you are only revealing different biases than the authors.Since all all translations add to God's words, what translations are correct?…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 11 2008,14:26)Hi E, JESUS is not a little interpretative word.I never said it was. But then again, that is not the point. You dismissed the NIV for adding a word not in the text, when many scholars feel that Jesus, or “Christ” is clearly being referred to. In any case, no matter what word we are discussing, according to…[Read more]
