Thanks brother Kerwin for your information on Jewish midrashim. But I am not interested in such mystified religious ideas. You believe Messiah would be a human I also believe the same and the only difference I have is about Jesus can not be true Jewish Messiah since he had not fulfilled any major prophecies about Messiah. I still expect proofs for…[Read more]

Hi brothers Mike and T8,You claim preexistence of Messiah as per N.T which had deviated from true Monotheism. You don't have problem in calling Jesus God or a god which is nothing but polytheism. You misinterpret Hebrew scriptures to suit your ideas. That is not fair on part of a true believer. If Jesus was existing prior to Abraham and seen him…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 26 2010,03:58)Adam and Kerwin……….One thing we need to establish is the Word Messiah . I think this would add some meaning to something being said here, First of all IMO, there have been many Messiahs in the nation of Israel , Moses was a Messiah, Joshuah was a Messiah, the seventy elders were Messiahs , the Judges…[Read more]

Thank you very much brother Gene. Hope others also will see the truth in my post above.Love and peace to youAdam

Hi brother Kerwin,I don't want to go into any mystical nature of application of Hebrew scriptures as done by the writer of Matthew who was bent to apply Jewish scriptures to prove his ideas for example we know how foolishly he said that Jesus sat on two donkeys. I don't need more evidence than this for this dogmatic writer.

Hi brother Kerwin,Bible is ambiguous in describing God. It seems there are two such opinions. As I often utter here that our Bible is of poly-opinion on God and His nature. Here are some references to corporeal nature of God of the Bible; If we want to know what kind of being God is, who better to believe than those who have actually seen Him?…[Read more]

So he is half-god and half-man?

Be of good cheer brother Ed J.

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 25 2010,15:04)Adam,I looked at the NIV translations version of Matthew 2:16-18 and Jeremiah 31:15 and the words it uses in both cases are “no more”.  That would tend to show the GNB mistranslated the word(s) in Matthew to “dead” probably going by the immediate context and not by the original source.Your source is either n…[Read more]

What are biblical and theological reasons for compatibilism and against incompatibilism?1.  The Bible never says that humans are free in the sense that they are autonomously able to make decisions that are not caused by anything. Libertarian free will is often merely assumed based on common-sense experience but not proved. 2.  God is absolutely s…[Read more]

Hi brother Theodorej,Greetings to you after a long time. I am sorry to interrupt you. N.T doesn't agree with your view on Hell and eternal torment. Synoptic Gospels unanimous in upholding the existence of eternal torment or Hell fire for all those who are lawless and sinners which is also confirmed by Revelation. Here are such scriptures;Matt 18:8…[Read more]

I agree with you both brother Marty and Sis Shimmer.Love and peace to youAdam

'Jesus is still a Jew' I hope so if Christianity permits him to be like that.Peace to allAdam

Yes brother Mike I still agree N.T talks about preexistence. But I am still open to somebody who can interpret such scriptures in the light of Jewish Monotheism. I don't agree with you on Micah 5:2 or Isa 11:1,10 on preexistence as it is purely Christian misinterpretation of Jewish scriptures.Thanks and peace to youAdam
