Then stay away from the NIV .

That was an odd statement: “I am 205 pounds and for some reason I are trying to lose weight but my body won't lose the pounds I feel so fat.?”

Paul “got it right” by Marcion because Paul brought Jesus to the Gentiles, and in turn, brought monotheism to them as well. That is how Jesus has become savior: by introducing God to the world. Of course not all of the world, but I think you get my meaning.

Yes, it is not necessary to match Jesus up to the coming son of David that the Jews expected. That is why he was not — and is still not — accepted by most of them. Jewish Christianity died with James and his fellows. Roman Christianity is what we have today.

Gene,Is it written? Nick doesn't believe in anything that is not written.

Uh, David, i don't know that watching TV constitutes a “life” so to speak…

Change of rules. Believer is one who believes in Jesus. But you're right, maybe t8 should change that wording .

As far as I can tell. You rarely ever supply scripture to back up what you say. There is nothing in the bible that says that the men writing it were reminded of every jot and tittle. That is just you needing it to be so in your mind so you don't lose faith.

Yes, the fruit that Paul spoke of would make the world a better place. Yet I don't see it happening. So in the meantime, we've got some work to do.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 24 2008,19:04)Hi KJ, Only to those yet bereft of the Spirit.How many of your posts go beyond your own philosophy? Most of what you say has no basis in scripture.

I'd gladly stay at 205 if it was muscle and not fat .

Nick,I'm referring to the fact that practicing Jews focus more of their time improving life here while Christianity does not. By this I'm saying we can learn from them and stop focusing so much on heaven. Make this life the best we can and we'll let God take care of the life we have in heaven.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 24 2008,18:33)Hi not3, He left men anointed with his Spirit to write for him, reminding them of every word, every jot and tittle, that needed to be written.Pure speculation.

Quote (Not3in1 @ Jan. 24 2008,17:52)Have you ever wondered why Jesus didn't tell his disciples to write what he taught for later generations? Jesus obviously appreciated the OT and he knew his mission was part of the plan……God wrote the 10 Commandments…..why didn't Jesus leave any writings behind?Most of his disciples expected him to return…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 24 2008,17:50)Hi KJ, Jesus quoted the bible as if it was irrefutable truth. Would you disagree?Preachers quote it as irrefutable truth. Jesus never said it was. Show me where he did.
