WJ….yes God is allowing evil in fact he creates evil He said he even frames evil and if you were brought up the same way a pedophile was with the exact same enviorment and learning you would be one also, But God by his Grace framed us also.

Nick….lets put 2and 2 together, do this one thing look up the meaning of the word (WORD) and see if intellect is there, and if it is, then when Jesus said the words (were) spirit . then simple put it together, and there it is your answer. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

GeneBalthrop replied to the topic Satan in the forum Scriptural Teachings 18 years, 2 months ago
Irene…..the word Satan only means adversary nothing else, What do you do with Jesus calling Peter Satan then. He did not mean Peter was actually the being Satan did He, and if Jesus did not lie then there has to be another way of looking at the word Satan . The bible is full of metaphor's, and symbolism and parables,and analogies, in fact it…[Read more]

Nick……..so who isn't doing that, You see thats the problem when some one thinks He is the only one who is doing that and the others are just giving there un= scriptural opinions . So that person positions himself above other as some Kind of Judge and is not really a doer of the word but has become a judge of others . We are told not to do that…[Read more]

Nick…..so do we trust scripture first , when do we get around to trusting God the Father and Jesus Christ. (Last)
GeneBalthrop replied to the topic Free Will? in the forum Truth or Tradition 18 years, 2 months ago
Nick….another assumption, Show us where that is said exactly. The gospel being preached doesn't identify anything.The problem with you view is your judging what the Gospel is and if it doesn't meat your views then to you its not the gospel. I thought the Gospel was the word of Christ, the SEED that was thrown out into the field and the good soil…[Read more]

Nick………nothing personal either but i have made that decision more likely before you were ever born. YOU need to heed your own words my friend and stop Judging others.

Nick…your words remind me of you. after all they do come from your own heart.Who are you who Judges another's servant, He will stand or fall to His own master, He will stand for God is ABLE to make Him stand.and why behold the splinter in they brothers eye and see not the beam in your own eye.
