DT, you said…….>”How can the Jesus “freely” lay down his life when it was preordained from the beginning of time for him to do so? What choice did he really have? Was he going to defy the spirit that was in him?”
You seem to lack understanding of the power of God WORKING IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE, with your reasoning then, HOW can “anything” be “pre…[Read more]

DT……Your lack of knowledge of the New Testament as well as the old is obvious to me. So let me then quote the scriptures, you say I didn’t quote, about Jesus sacrificing himself ok.
JOHN 10: 17-18…..> “therefore does my Father love me, because, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE, that I might take it again”.
verse 18…>. “No man takes it from me, but I lay i…[Read more]

DT……Jodi would have answered you the same way, why?, because she has the “SPIRIT” of God abiding “in” her. You on the other hand don’t, and that why you flip flop around our responses by simply asking different questions every time we “answer” your questions. I Answered your question to Jodi, and instead of answering the scriptures I gave you, y…[Read more]

DT, you said……Me: HE murdered his son for the “transgressions of others”, like a bull on an altar? On what plane does that make sense to you? There is so much wrong in what you said. Isn’t murder, murder and called a sin? Are you saying God can sin? Still waiting for when God changed and said the innocent can be responsible for the actions of…[Read more]

Proclaimer…….Good subject, The Bible is full of “Metaphors”, from Genesis to Revelations, hundred it not thousands of them. For instance in Genesis in the Garden is mentioned the “tree” of the knowledge of good and evil. We have to understand that a tree is that which bares fruit of some kind from the self. God was telling them , if they “e…[Read more]

DT…….I explained to you about why God has the millennium period, and for what reason he is doing it, did that also fly over your head, do you just shut off anything written in response to you?
You said the Tanaka does not mention the Holy Spirit of God, but that is also wrong, it is mentioned it in several places, such as just some of these.…[Read more]

DT……So you believe a person can be save, by himself, remember it says…..”the soul that sins, it shall die.”, So when does this soul stop sinning? Have you reached that goal yet?
Fact is, you or no human being has completely stop sinning, we all “still” come short of that goal, why? Because in order for us to completely stop sinning, something…[Read more]GeneBalthrop replied to the topic JOHN 1:1 who is the WORD? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 4 months, 3 weeks ago
DT…….YOU SAID……God says to turn from your wickedness (repent) and you will live. I didn’t read anything about God saying HE was only going to “pick and choose” certain people that are to “live” because they “believe in HIS son.” If God doesn’t take pleasure in the death of HIS creation and told them how they can “live”, why does anyone need the Je…[Read more]

Berean……I agree with what you have posted, Isiah was speaking of all the Prophets, when he made that statement, IMO , Jesus showed his deciles all the Prophets that spoke about him, Isiah was just one of them.

Me…..“YES” , Did what I wrote just go right over your head? I said Jesus was sent by God the Father, to “demonstrate” to us all, what kind of “Faith” and “obedience “, It takes to be at one, (atonement) , with God the Father>, he didn’t do it (in our place, as many falsely assume) but God sent him to show us all how we must live in Faith , in or…[Read more]

If there had been no sin in the world then Jesus would not had to die , to demonstrate to all human kind that we can live without sin in our lives.
