ED J……….Don't kid youself your Will is Far from “FREE:, it is a predesposed WILL at work in you not “FREE: at all.and the answer to your question is YES Job was right , It was GOD bringing the Evil on JOB.

Quote (kerwin @ June 14 2010,05:21)Gene,I know the issue is confusing because the word “spirit” is used with two separate though similar meanings.Demons are the outside forces that cause (see note) people to sin.  The can also use one person to tempt another.  Two examples of this is a “friend” who offers and alcoholic a drink of liquor and a p…[Read more]

ED J …….Why have you not admitted what i have posted about scripture saying it was GOD who brought all the Evil on JOB. You talk like you love the truth but then turn and deny it if it does not fit you dogmas, Why is that?. peace and love…………..gene

Quote (mikeboll64 @ June 14 2010,12:47)Hi Gene,Thanks for the thorough answers to my questions.  Some here could learn from you.   You left out a reply to the Son of Man question.  Was Jesus the Son of Man?And thanks for refreshing my memory about doubting John.  That sure seems out of place compared with how sure he was when he baptized Jes…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ June 14 2010,05:33)Hello Mr. Gene   You said:Quote Mike…………First lets start with you question of How John knew Jesus was the lamb of GOD. It had nothing to do with Jesus' preexistences at all.Point is Mike John recognized Who Jesus was (because ) of what God had told him and had nothing to do with any prior existence…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ June 14 2010,02:38)Hi Gene,Thanks for your kind words.  But you keep popping in here with your unsubstantiated views and don't answer the scriptures I post.  If we know that the Lamb of God is God's Son, how is it that John the Baptist knew Jesus as the Lamb of God before he baptized him? (Compare John 1:29 and Matt 3:13)You s…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ June 14 2010,01:15)About 10 years ago there was an elder at my church who had been teaching and writing that Jesus the man was not God in the flesh. I had tried to correct him on this but he would not be corrected. So I wrote the Session of my church and gave them documentation showing the elder's errors. The Session in turn…[Read more]

EJ……….A IMAGE means to Mirror or reflect , When you look into a Mirror is that you inside the Mirror (No) it is a reflection of you.

God want us all to (IMAGE) HIM not try to (BE) HIM , Jesus was the First one to Perfectly (IMAGE) GOD. IMO love…[Read more]

JA…………….Mike does have a point brother. The (will be) indicates a future time right? So Jesus could not have been a (PREEXISTED SON OF GOD) as all the angles are. JA and Mike I believe that Jesus became a Begotten son of GOD at the Jordan River when He recieved into him the Spirit of GOD, He was at that time adopted as a son of the…[Read more]

Oxy………A LIVING Soul is a BODY with SPIRIT IN it . A Dead person is a dead body with spirit removed no soul remains until GOD fashions another Body and adds Spirit back into it.

Oxy………Exactly what about that, did that make those who GOD spoke to and (through) like the Prophets a GOD? NO, so why did that all change with Jesus?.

Remember it say (GOD) spoke to us (THROUGH) the prophets and and He also spoke to us (THROUGH) a Son,…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ June 13 2010,06:18)KJ,I do not side with anyone who speaks 'falsely'.I side with the post or part post that is before me.None of us has perfect grace from God and knows all so at one point someone speaks truth by revelation of God's Holy Spirit.When I see that, I agree. Otherwise I may intervene, or post against a poster if I…[Read more]
