Nick,

You said the same thing I did though you use better grammar. My pronoun use is confusing to those who do not know what I am speaking of.

Satan was being deceptive and basically told Jesus that if Jesus cast himself off the temple God would protect him from harm and Jesus’ answer revealed he knew that doing so would be a sin and so the…[Read more]

Of course, the problem with both the benchwarmer and spectator example is that neither actually did the work.

God was neither a spectator nor a bench warmer, He did the creating, the speaking, the dividing, the making, the setting, etc.

God’s work until he formed and made and created man was good, but His “crowning” achie…

DavidL,

Even Trinitarians doubt that those words in Genesis support their view.

The God uses the plural pronoun in Genesis 3:22 so state humanity has “become like one of us” so that does that mean man is God.

In that verse you most likely believe God is talking about the angels and not him even though he say “one of us”.

sonofGod,

I meant collective pronoun not group plural.

Nick,

When using a collective pronoun it does not matter as long there were angels that looked like men contributing to creation. In the example I used a person that sits on the bench and does nothing else is considered a contributing member because he is recognized as a part of the team.

Carmel,

Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Jesus was just telling Satan he was not going to jump because doing so would tempt God to righteous anger.

sonofGod,

There is the group plural such as when a bench warmer declares “we won the game” even when he did not actually play in the game.

I favor that as what is being used because angels look like human beings and were there to witness creation as part of the unity of the Spirit.

sonofGod,

It is irrelevant since it is how one lives that determines their fate and not how their father’s lived.

Hi Kerwin

It seems to me that Gene is saying the same thing, that there are no other gods, right?

His error is not in the amount of Gods he confesses but rather in corrupting the truth by denying parts of the truth. In this case he corrupts the meaning of the word god and so corrupts verses of Scripture that contain it.…[Read more]

Gene,

You are in denial but you can yet be saved as one that barely escapes the fire.

Gene,

Even a broken mechanical clock is right twice a day. The pagans have many of the same stories as the bible does but they take have taken liberties with them. The study of this phenomena is called comparative mythology. For example I have read the story of Eve’s fall from grace and the battle between Cain and Able that exists among one…[Read more]

Nick,

I chose my words carefully in attempt to avoid giving the idea that Samuel lived by the Holy Spirit. Instead it spoke through him and foretold King Saul’s fate.

sonofGod,

If you make sure the text tab is pressed before you paste it will get rid of that HTML formatting. It is tricky so I hope t8 finds an easier way to resolve the issue.

t8,
That is my impression as well.

Andrew,

Wow Kerwin,are you grasping at silly straws here? So those who fell down were “secret believers”maybe? If they feared men more than God then certainly they are not believers or worthy of Christ.He who denies me before men I will deny before the Father-didn’t Jesus say that? But maybe he really didn’t mean that too strictly since even Pe…

AndrewAD,

I am not sure they did not believe in him as they were men doing their job.  Many, when put in the position of doing evil or loosing their job will do evil.

Luke 20:6Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

The people given…[Read more]

@t8,

I can point to Scriptures that speak of a time of torment for demons and others that speak of humans being tormented for ages and ages.  I can also point to passages that speak of the wicked being destroyed.  All these words must be true and annihilation alone does not account for all of them satisfactory.
