David,

The first century when Jesus during Jesus’ mortality.

I would be dead by this age since I have kidney disease but nothing to hearing his words in person.

Since God did not choose that for me then it follows it was not what is best for his plan and I exist to serve him.

The thing is that we do have more than others had before us but…[Read more]

Terrarica,

Kerwin

it was the son of man that give up his life ,the Christ ,it is obvious for Jesus the son of God being in the form of a man be called anything else than a man right ? yes

All the English language bibles translated claim it was the human Jesus Christ that gave up his life for man. Of course he also bears the title of Son of…[Read more]

Ed,

You make yet another claim without evidence which appears to mean you failed to actually the Spirit but instead let responded emotionally and from the flesh.

The only way Scripture declares God fathers sons is revealed with these words.

Galatians 4:6Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the…

Ed,

Notice my post and the look at your. I pointed out why I had come to the conclusion that you are behaving irrationality. On the other hand you responded emotionally.

You did not even address the fact that Paul told Timothy that is was the human Jesus Christ that gave up his life for all.

If no human can give redeem his brother then…[Read more]

Ed,

I agree with you last post to Terrarica as the word comes out of God’s mouth. One can certainly state it was among the first of his works because he spoke the logos and all things came to be. It is his child because he sired it. English is not gender based but we can follow the traditions set by Koine Greek and refer to God’s word as he.

Nick,

It is not about me.

It is about being honest with yourself.

If you cannot stick to the words and grammar of Scripture then you are not being honest with yourself.

There is an exception and that is when translators translate the words but not the underlying grammar. The argue an issue like that it is necessary to go back to the original…[Read more]

Nick,

Did you make an mistake and address your post to the wrong person?

Nick,

There is no guesswork since it is straightforward for anyone that knows English grammar and does not consciously or unconsciously choose to deny what it states.

I believe you, ed, and terrarica all know English grammar.

So unless I am mistaken on that then it is not trouble with English grammar that is causing the difficulty.

My…[Read more]

Nick,

He plans the ages which is what one passage states in some translations.

Hebrews 11:3Young’s Literal Translation (YLT)

3 by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;

Others use worlds or universe because they felt that was what “ages” implied.

terrarica,

My point is that because God knows our hearts he can predict what we will choose in any given situation.

Terrarica,

Test the Spirit of what you believe.

You assume the symbolic figure mentioned in rev:19 is Jesus. He is neither called Jesus or the Christ at any point.

Since it a symbolism you cannot even claim that the construct is a living being.

It could in fact be a personalizing of an idea.

For instance it could be the word that comes out…[Read more]

Ed J,

We have discussed this and your view is irrational as you choose to ignore the pronouns used by the AV of the KJV in order to force you viewpoint into Psalm 49:6-9.

Either claim the AV of KJV is corrupt and use a version more friendly to your interpretation or change or your interpretation to be consistent with the AV of the KJV’s…[Read more]

Terrarica,

That is part of what I have been saying.

Luke 16:15New International Version (NIV)

15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

Psalm 44:20-21New International Version (NIV)
20
If we had forgotten the name of…

Terrarica,

God knows our hearts so how can fruit thereof change his plan?

Gene,

You have a non standard definition of free will.

Terrarica,

Free will is not random will.
Free will is making choices depending on one’s heart not by anything else; for example God does not make one’s choices.
Because free choice are made according to the heart they are predictable by God as he knows the heart.

In your point you inferred free choices were random because you see free will as…[Read more]

Terrarica,

Kerwin

Does God knows all things ? well can God do all things ? No for God can not lie ;

but can he know all things ? yes ;but how does he know all things should be the question ,for if we say that he knows all things i could be understood has him knowing evil ,and that he cannot ,for God is holy and holiness does not contain…

Terrarica,

God walks according to the Spirit. Can you tell me what the Spirit is?

Nick,

The Spirit is powerful to bring repentance to those chosen by God.

He was not yet born again in Spirit but the Spirit drew him to Jesus because it is food and drink for those that hunger and thirst.

That is how Jesus’ sheep know his voice.

Terrarica,

1 Timothy 2:5-7 if you answered my question with a no. After I phrased my question using words from 1 Timothy 2:5-7 and quoted them to let you know. I did make a few minor changes for the sake of proper English. So essentially if you answer no then you would be disagreeing with the words Paul wrote according to the NKJV.

Of course…[Read more]
