Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Dec. 03 2010,00:45)Mike………..Tell us one thing why was Jesus resurected with a Body if Spirit does not have a body, and Why did Jesus say a spirit does not have flesh and bone as you see i have, is that not the same as saying he was not a spirit being at all?  While you are at it also tell us why is there even any…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 30 2010,22:20)Adam,The Jews are rather confused on the issue of the new covenant as they have different teachings about it.  Christians also disagree with one another about it.   To make a general statement and say Jews and Christians disagree is true as you can always find disagreement between two groups that have various i…[Read more]
