DT…….You said,”Wasn’t Peter the rock the church would be built on; yet Paul was “greater” in your eye’s and you follow him over Peter?!?!” , another “lie” you and others ignorantly quote, which shows me you actually do not have the “Sprit of Truth’’, abiding in you, or you would properly understand what Jesus actually was saying there, and he w…[Read more]

DESIRE TRUTH?…..YOUR desire is “your” truth, yours, and thats the problem. I see both new and old testaments as mostly all comparable with each other if seen in the right context, you on the other hand, see opposites and total contradictions. While I would grant you that there some differences in word translations, I have proven that eve…[Read more]

DT…..Yes there are variants in both the new testaments and the Old testaments, but that has to do with translation from one language to another. But that does not mean you should throw out the entire texts, to fit your own conclusions. I have shown you where Daniel predicted the birth date of the Messiah Jesus, and you reject it, no matter how…[Read more]

DT…….Being “born” of Spirit, is not saying “you are a Spirit” , it simply mean the Spirit is what generates you to life, we are all born by Spirit, all creation is Spiritually activated. But Jesus plainly said “he was not a Spirit”. “After his resurrection from the dead in-fact”. But that doesn’t do you any good, because you have rejected th…[Read more]

DT…….Jesus himself said, there would be a future event when he would come in great honor and glory, when he would establish the Kingdom of God on this earth, That time is soon to take place, Then what will you say, when he tells you ….“I have clearly said……”I am, the root and “offspring” of David”. Will you deny those words in that day?

Berean……What you and E.G. White says proves your lack of understanding of the truth. There are so many errors in what you and White and the rest of “modern Christianity” teaches, but time will tale, won’t it? What I have told you is the “truth”.

DT…..Death doesn’t , but obedience unto death does, that may be hard for you to comprehend, but Jesus “demonstrated” what it takes to have a right relationship with God the Father.

Proclaimer, yes our vile bodies do need to be changed, and will be at the return of Jesus, but remember what else Paul said, Php 3:14-15…..> “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling “OF GOD”, “in” , the anointed Jesus.

DT you said……>What then was the point of Jesus’ death? Why did Jesus say he had to die?
What Jesus did was to “demonstrate” to us all, what it takes to have a right relationship with God the Father.

DT…….If Jesus death paid off everyone’s sins. Then why are people still dying, and their bodies corrupting in the grave. Jesus died but his body never saw corruption, he was resurrected before it corrupted in the grave, why? Because he never sinned and therefore his body was never destroyed in the grave as our are.
What killed Jesus was a b…[Read more]
