Tree…., in scripture is referenced in the Garden of Eden, but why did God use the term (Tree) with the words GOOD and EVIL. what is the spiritual meaning by the expression, (the tree of Good and Evil). I believe it represents (that which produces fro it self) as a tree does, So God was simply saying don't eat (take to yourself) that which…[Read more]

942767……. to say tithing was not a law but is a principle of giving is a false statement , thats what churches want you to believe. Tithing was instituted for the very purpose of supporting the government of the Israelite Nation, it was simply a form of taxes and had nothing to do with giving it was a law in Israel. Heb 7:5 …> and verily…[Read more]

Pv…….Jesus was a mediator of God to mankind. He did not mutually represent us to God, but He represent God to US. Just as Moses did to the Israelites.peace…….to you …………….gene

ep….you say don't be arrogant…..don't be dense…………good advice you need to take it, and when did i ever say i was the only one the HOLY SPIRIT speaks through. Do you have to lie to try to make other think your right . If you want to believe ever Scholar that fits your ideology that fine with me. I personally chose not to And there are…[Read more]

Adam…..you are right, the problem is people don't realize that the LIE spoken of in 2Ths2, is the LIE that JESUS (IS) God HIMSELF a reincarnated GOD MAN being, this LIE started at the council of Nicia in 325 A.D. And all Catholic and Protestant religions teach it. But Adam hold onto what God has given you to understand the whole Christian lies…[Read more]

Irene …..if you look up the word (through) you will find it can mean (For) as easily as (through). I have explained to you before and gave scriptures that showed GOD said HE created every thing by His self ALONE no one helped or assisted HIM. He said He did it by His self. You either believe what GOD himself said or not. What you put up before…[Read more]

To All…….Jesus was simply a man who was foreordained by God to be the first human born to completely image Him. Does it not say “for (THY SEED) shall bruise His head, God here plainly shows His plan of causing a human being to bruise the head of Satan. He did not preexist except in the plan and will of God. God did not take an already perfect…[Read more]

Samuel……….if Peter could not change His will , then He did not have (FREE) Will, but controlled Will. The problem is see with your understanding of (Free)Will, is the word (FREE) if we are going to say our Will's are truly (FREE) the there can be (NO) influencing going on by (Any) source whatsoever in order to be truly free. God caused those…[Read more]

PV…..not sure what you are saying, but i will say doing works prompted by Jesus' words is not necessarily a sign of (TRUE) Faith in God the Father. If the works are a fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT then that is the work of true Faith. The rich young ruler kept all the commandments right, but when it came to forsaking all, and following Christ, he…[Read more]

T8…..i agree with you on that, I think Jeff Benner's explanation of who the Hebrews viewed the word GOD fits most all scriptures it simply means (POWERS) and if we say LORD GOD , we are saying HE EXIST WITH POWERS> Notice when Jesus quoted ,'The LORD our GOD (POWER) is ONE (LORD), he did not say one GOD. If we view John 1:1 with that in mind…[Read more]

PV……..if you understood the term firstborn in the Hebrew mind set is a position, and not necessarily the order of berth. The expression of Jesus being firstborn (OVER) all creation is a positional statement, not a time of berth, the word (OVER) should make that clear.imopeace to you……………..gene

PV……(true) faith will have works, there is no option if it is (true) faith. Many say they have faith but really they have Just suppositions a supposed Faith without any proof. Jesus said (many) would come to him saying Lord in you name we have done all these great works , Jesus did not deny the they had not done them , but went on to say…[Read more]

Kupchuk……..> You are right, God causes our choices by His influencing us through His Spirit. Grace is God's influencing on the heart. There is no such thing as (FREE CHOICE), all choices are the result of influence. If we take Irene's scenario of the choice of the fruit she would chose the one that is influenced in her mind at the time , and…[Read more]

Adam……….Amen Brother…..we are caused to chose God by His GRACE (Gods influencing on our hearts) our so-called “FREE WILL”S”. have nothing to do with it . Because there is no such thing as “Free Wills” only influenced Wills exist and that elimates (FREE) , because a n influenced Will is not a FREE WILL. Love and peace to you and…[Read more]

pv…….you quote….> Col 1:15…> who is the image of the (invisible) God, the firstborn of every creature, is not quoted right. It should read …..> He is “the image the image of the invisible God”, the firstborn (OVER) all creation. First image is (NOT) the REAL Person themselves but one who images Him, second Jesus is said to be firstborn…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Nov. 04 2008,12:41)Hi Gene:I believe the Word of God not your opinions.  Did God force you to tithe as you have shared in your testimony or did you do it wilfully?942767…….a better question would be what causes me to question GOD”s existence and his dealing with me in my life. I believe the seeking for that truth, that God put…[Read more]

942767………..your quote, Jhn 3:21 But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his deed may be manifest, that they (his deeds) are wrought (performed) in or (BY) GOD. Jesus said (NO) man can come unto me (UNLESS) the Father draw Him. Doesn't sound like he is doing it himself through his own repentance to me. True repentance is (CAUSED) by…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Nov. 04 2008,09:35)Hi Gene:You say:Quote we are (CREATED) unto good works by the hand of GOD.Does this mean that we have to obey “these good works” or not?942767……If God created anything to GOOD WORKS (IT) will do good works. or do you deny GOD creative powers? Do you think He need our permission to DO what He wants to.Remember…[Read more]
