I think Tim means what the bible says about God because he is getting that viewpoint from the OT.

And thanks to all who remember her during her recovery.

My mom will be going to rehab for 2 weeks starting Saturday.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2008,15:23)Hi KJ, In Christ Torah is fulfilled. We do not have a righteousness of our own.Mat 5:18 “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Did I miss heaven and earth passing away?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2008,15:16)Hi Kj,Ps1 1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. The word of law here is “torah”. You do know that the Torah…[Read more]

Well, if you consider peace, love, joy and happiness nothing, I suppose so.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2008,14:55)Hi KJ, Indeed the wider path is far more popular.Yes, fear is not a popular path. Love is much wider and worthwhile.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2008,14:52)Hi KJ, The question itself reveals faithlessness.You cannot add knowledge to doubt.But there is a humongous difference between you and I Nick: I have faith in a living God, you have faith in a book written about God from a prehistoric Jewish context.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2008,14:49)Hi KJ, Can you discard some of it?Hi Nick,Do you have a revolving pool of responses? I've seen variations of this one several times from you.The answer is “yes”. If I don't, then my view of God is that He is spiteful, bigoted, sexist, ruthless, quick to anger, vengeful, bloodthirsty, and loves the smell of a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2008,14:42)Hi KJ, Someone else said” What is truth?”He was of the world.And the one who was “not of the world” had no answer. How ironic.

The easiest doublet to read is the different creation stories in Genesis 1 & 2. If you'll look closely, they are similar but there are differences that would not arise if the author was the same person. For instance, God is called “Elohim” in Gen 1, and never “Yahweh”. In Gen 2, “Yahweh” shows up. Not so big in and of itself, but in Gen 1, man is…[Read more]

Please remember this request and also remember my mom as she recovers from full knee replacement surgery (yesterday).Thanks!

Quote (Mandy @ Mar. 13 2008,14:12)Quote (TimothyVI @ Mar. 14 2008,03:56)Why would God even command anything that obscene as a test. People have to have a way to tell if something is from God or not and it is taught in the OT that God may tell you to kill your own child as a test.Would any of you kill your child if you thought that God told you to,…[Read more]
