Thinker……….Think about where God told Cain, sin lies at you door (heart) , You must MASTER IT. Jesus through the Power of GOD Mastered SIN, Just as we also must. What kind of example would Jesus be for us if He did not really overcome Sin. For He was (tempted) in all manor as we are and yet without sin. But GOD can not be (tempted by sin) right?.

To All………..This thread says what God cannot do, is against the words of Jesus, because Jesus said all things are possible with GOD, So to say He cannot do something is a false statement, It should be What God choses not to do. IMOpeace and love to you all………………………..gene

Nick…………I know you want to push water baptism as a means of salvation, but you case is weak brother, it is the Baptism of the Spirit that really counts . Water doesn't Change you heart and mind, but Spiritual Baptism does. I am not saying it wrong to be baptized with water , but it doesn't change anything, it takes the Spirit to do that.…[Read more]

T8…….Amen to that post. David consider what T8 has said brother. Don't let some organization control you.Love and peace to you and yours…………………………….gene

Marty……….Remember the Pharisees Kept the Law or should i say tried to, and Part of the law was “YOU SHALL HAVE NOT OTHER GOD BESIDES ME”. When Jesus called GOD His Father this to them was equaling Him to GOD, and they were instructed to Kill anyone who did that , it was a very serious offense. But Jesus himself never said he was equal with…[Read more]

Marty……….I agree with that brother. I only Know in my life many, many, many, many answered Prayers very speedily, as i said I am without excuse. I really don't think i am any better then anyone, and when i hear people like our Dear sis Mandy say she hasn't had direct answered Prayers it does trouble me, She is truly seeking Proof and why is…[Read more]

Thinker……….True , but Jesus also said..> “call no man your Farther upon the earth, for one is your Father which is in heaven.” So should we make a distinction between His Father and Our Father? love and peace……………………………….gene

T8………..now with regards to the word Logos, I assume you are referring to John 1:1………remember in the Greek language every thing was written in Captials letters so there is no way we can determine if the word , word was upper or lower case as the translators have written it. If we read John 1:1, in very simple language, this is what we…[Read more]

Thinker……….brother where you would say (HIS) own Father. I would say (OUR) Own Father, I see Jesus as an extension of ourselves, I am going to My Father and YOUR Father, My God and YOUR GOD. A common connection is the way I see it brother. Jesus is a heir but so are we, heirs and Joint heirs with Christ. “I do not say i will Pray the Father…[Read more]

Mandy……….Some times i feel i am without excuse , i should have done more in serving God and Jesus then i Have , It troubles me to think that Jesus said when the son of Man comes will he find Faith on the earth. Because of all the things done for me in my life , it truely troubles me, I have not walked according to the Kindness given me in my…[Read more]

Mandy………..Good Point Sis. How should our attitude be toward all, even if they or we, don't understand everything clearly. love and peace to you and yours……………………………..gene

thinker …….Amen to that brother, those who are of God and Jesus from them flow fountains of living waters.love and peace to you and yours…………………………….gene

Quote (TimothyVI @ Feb. 24 2009,23:31)Nick has a good point.How much of what Jesus said was for all men, as opposed to just His desciples?Maybe there is a reason that having the faith of a mustard seed, we can not move a mountain.Maybe “all men”, even believers, were never supposed to receive anything that they asked of the…[Read more]

T8………i believe we are the light of the world , if His words abide in Us we should be able to give Hope to the world and everyone we come in contact with, I agree with your brother.peace and love to you and yours……………………….gene

Nick………So now you calling Jesus a liar too, (“Know you not you shall all be taught by GOD”).and again “but if you be (led) by the Spirit you are (Not) under the Law> “Brethren you have no need of a teacher for the Spirit itself teaches you all things”. Nick maybe this is why you haven grown because you are not allowing the Spirit to teach…[Read more]

thinker ………i would tend to agree with you , but remember Jesus said the words were not His words , but the Fathers words, so He definitely showed a speration between Him and the Father. John 17:8 …> For i have given unto them the words which (YOU) gave me,… and again, John 17:14… > I have given them (THY) word; This shows that Jesus…[Read more]

Nick……….Again your not getting whats being said, we are not saying the Law(ten commandments) Is not good and right, OK, what we are saying is that the way it is Kept was Paul's argument , is it by the way LAW works (by forced compliance ) or by way of the way of the Spirit of GOD which writes the commandments on our hear and mind. This is…[Read more]

Thinker……True i totally agree that we are not (Justified) by the (WORKS) of the Law, We are Justified by the Blood of Christ, that i full well know, but you see my point was in this is that Paul was not saying the ten commandments are done away with , but we Keep them through the Spirit we received from GOD, not through the operation of Law.…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 23 2009,20:19)Hi, Back to scripture. Try to take the focus off the people hereNick………Thats your game not mine. It's you who focus on the person not me, I only respond to you in kind. Prov 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own conceit.peace and love to you…[Read more]

To ALL…………..Here is an example, God=the sun, Jesus=the moon, the light Jesus gives is a reflection of the light of the FATHER. Jesus is (NOT) the source of that Light, it is the FATHER. and when the light of the Father is on us we to reflect it also as Jesus does. Remember to Image means to reflect, or mirror something, but itself is never…[Read more]
