Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 11 2008,18:18)Hi CO, You assumed just as you assume what the ALL in 1Cor 15 applies to. You should not make assumptions.what…? Like the assumptions you made in your topic on Jesus being the door….? Why is it perfectly fine for you to offer your understanding….. your interpretation of the Scriptures, but apparently…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 10 2008,15:47)Hi E, You would not have to paint such a broad and complex picture if you were sola scriptura. The flim flam of man's rationalisations and justifications for their speculations adds nothing to truth. Why not believe in and follow Jesus instead of the clever so called divines?That is just your opinion, I see…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 10 2008,11:57)EP…….Tell us where it says that Jesus was praying Himself, seeing you believe His is the true GOD as Trinitarians say. Tell us how He was praying to himself, and If he wasn't , then who was He praying to. Tell Us also if He was lying when He said “For THOU ART THE (ONLY) TRUE GOD”, seems you don't…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ Nov. 10 2008,11:30)I never thought I'd see the day …I agree with Nick, God is one, not a “trinity”.1Cor.8:4-7…and that there is no other God except One.5 For even if so be that there are those being termed gods, whether in heaven or on earth, even as there are many gods and many lords,6 nevertheless for us there is one God,…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 09 2008,05:45)EP…..I do agree with your post on Free Will, and Predestination, and GOD”S GRACE saving Us. God's SOVEREIGNTY  is a issue, a grate issue in all Christianity Today. He is sovereign over all things including our salvation. He saves whomsoever He will and Hardens whomsoever He will.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 10 2008,04:42)Hi E, Rather than enter your realm of confusion it would be better to worship the God of our Lord Jesus. Being called god does not command such things.Jesus said scripture calls men gods.We do not worship men.that's what I thought, you can't answer a simple straightforward question, can you Nick? Thus, your…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 09 2008,18:15)Hi E, Is he his own god?Jn20 does not seem to say so. He said he was returning to his God and ours.Should we not listen to and follow him? Or are these DIVINES you elevate good enough?answer the question N… yes or no… dos the scripture say Jesus is “God”

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 09 2008,18:59)Hi E, So if scripture is the final authority and no trinity is found there why would you give any credence to the implied thoughts of any men of any age that there is one? They are not the final authority are they?deerrrrrr because, in my opinion, and in the opinion of literally millions of other Christians,…[Read more]

Quote (Tiffany @ Nov. 09 2008,18:14)Hello E Coming out of the Catholic Church I find that I am well qualified what the trinity doctrine is. However it is not scriptural. Jesus Himself said that the Father is greater then I. Trinity doctrine says they are all equal. Ephesians 4:6 states that the Father is above all. IrenetopicalIn 1 Cor 11:3 man is…[Read more]
