Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 24 2008,14:44)For GBNick……..what does this mean?

Nick…..How can a person not repent (IF) the Spirit of God operating through GRACE (God's influencing on the heart) is in the person. Are we to profess GOD and then deny His POWER?. The fruits is a result of that power not human efforts, but GOD caused. imopeace …………gene

PV…..I am not disputing the point that Mary was a Virgin, because i believe she was, but the word Almah means young woman.love and peace to you and yours……………gene

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 24 2008,13:48)Hi GB, Only some translations has these words added in 1 jn5.Suggest a better translation that does not contain such additions.Nick….i know that, but the same analogy can be drawn from what Jesus said and can amount to the same thing, GOD and His Word and His Spirit are truly one and the same. You can not…[Read more]

Nick…..from your statement, you don't seem to understand the true meaning of the word FAITH, Don't go to the dictionary meaning , but use the bible definition, found in Hebrews…> Faith (IS) the substance of things hoped for, the (EVIDENCE) of things not seen. the word (EVIDENCE) means Faith requires (PROOF). To except something just because…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 22 2008,15:40)Hi GB, If God did not say so who should presume on His will and teach something when it is not written? A brave but foolish man might.Nick….1 Ti 2:2-3….> for this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our Savior: who (WILL HAVE) ALL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Hi All……For there (ARE) three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three (ARE ONE). If we believe they are one and the same, then the word is GOD as John 1:1 states. peace…………..gene

Hi all……..if we take some of the things Jesus said into count it may help clarify John 1:1. Lets conceder John 6:63….> It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing; the (WORDS) that I speak unto you, (ARE) spirit and (ARE) life. and John 4:24…> God is (A) Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.…[Read more]

PV…..Young woman means Just that, a young woman, as far as her virginity goes who knows, however i will agree that Israel was very sticked concerning their Children and to say Mary was a virgin is (Probably) correct, but the scripture says young woman.peace to you and yours………….gene

Adam……We must also concider the law of adoption that existed at the time of Jesus, if a person adopted a child as his, that child was given full reconition as His own Child. Perhaps this is could explain the discrepancy. I have realized these discrepancies before and condidered Jesus may be of the blood linage of a Levite, the priestly tribe.…[Read more]

Mandy….you (WILL) endure unto the end, because it is not you that is saving you, but a loving heavenly Father, whose calling of you is without revocation and who's power (GRACE) is continually working in you. Paul used the word If as a word to show those God is working with and those he is not at this time , those he is working with (WILL)…[Read more]

Pulivarthy………I also believe Mary was a virgin, because of the strict Jewish laws governing young girls, and the dishonor it could bring on a house at that time. But to say the word used in Isaiah's account means Virgin is misleading, it means young women. Peace to you and yours…………..gene

Nick…..But who is it that can say that all will not some day be saved, God said his is no respecter of persons , So if he reaches down and saves some by His effectual power, He can all the rest also, Just a Paul Said he can always Graft Israel , those he has blinded back in again by causing them not to abide still in unbelief. Saying in Jeremiah…[Read more]

Nick…..Not all at this time, but some day all. The point was the way those who are under God's GRACE are saved now. I know all are not now chosen. peace to you and yours………….gene

Mandy….right on, you can't build a dogma on a soft foundation. A dogma needs a solid foundation not a vague one. There are none in the preexistence theology. Right on Sis.love to you and yours………..gene

Shania……….Grace (God's influencing on the heart) is never against the law, it's the way to fulfill the law. No true Christian would every think He has a license to break God's laws because he is under GRACE. IMOLove and peace to you and yours…………..gene

Adam…..when dealing with the Jew's with regards to Jesus, there are certain things they resent, one is the Ideology of a Triune God head, another is the preexistence of Jesus, and of course His messiah ship. They are deeply involved in there traditions and the law or Torah. While i agree with them on there views against the trinity and…[Read more]
