Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2010,14:25)Hi KW, God casts as wide a net as possible. He is love and He wants all men yo come to salvation. No matter where men come from, Atheism or Philosophy He wants them to come to Yahshua.There they drop their follies and follow him.Nick,You still seem to be accusing God of following “folies” for his own…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2010,13:49)Hi KW, You are right that Ecclesiastes alone provides a human view of spiritual things.But for the enlightened philosophy alone is not evil nor sinful, just useless.We should know better than to spend our life wonderingIf it is so useless then why did God decide to include it in scripture?Proverbs is the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2010,13:04)Hi KW, Paul sowed in every possible way. He appealed to the jews in one way and the greeks another. But he did not advise men to waste time studying the matters philosophically.Once again I direct you to Ecclesiastes where Solomon studied matters philosophically.Proverbs is another book of philosophy.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2010,12:22)Hi KW, The weak rational mind is no match for the power of God's words. Faith is the only useful response.So Paul was in error when he used and apealed to reason?You once again accuse scripture of being in error.There are many scripture that contradict the lie you hold to so tightly and none to support it.1…[Read more]

The Thinker,The missionary did not have the authority to send herself but rather depended on the missionary organization to supply that authority. She was still willing to go whatever the missionary organization decided.

Mikeangel,It is true that Jesus commanded us to love but that is not what our inheritance from Adam commands us to do. It is that nature we recieve as decendants of Adam that make us servants of sin. This puts us in the situation of having an internal war that leaves us in torment wanting to do as God commands but instead following the dictates…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 18 2010,07:09)Nick………Why do you use the English language to Speak with,  Seeing it came from the  “WORLD”  from the mind of Man. Should we now throw it out and our dictionaries and our God Given minds as well, and Just listen to Your rendition of things.  We are told to seek, ask, and Knock for things from God the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 17 2010,15:04)hi KW, Does God hold the clever man in the same light you seem to?Does the wisdom of man match the wisdom of God? The word is God's wisdom.Respect it.His thoughts are above ours.Luke 2:46-47(KJV) reads:Quote And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the…[Read more]

Nick Hassan wrote:Quote So you quote this verse as if it had AGAIN in it.You are correct that the word “again” is not in that verse but rather it is in the verse 2 verses earlier.  It is the second birth Jesus speaks of in verse 5.  But you have already admitted that when one is born of their mother they are born of spirit and water as you state…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 17 2010,14:42)Hi KW, So the word of God is not alive and active to you? They are not spirit and life? You see the works of men as being equally valid?hmmmThe Word of God is living and active and he God uses man among other tools to do his works. God created mankind to use his mind and to use tools among the other skill,…[Read more]

Nick Hassan,I use the dictionary and the lexicons because I wish to understand the language that truth is spoken in. Paul's point that if you do not understand the language spoken then the truth is useless to you is a valid and sound point.My point is that you seem to fail to comprehend the ideas and principals that God teaches in squipture…[Read more]

Nick Hassan,According to the Greek lexicon at searchforgodsword.org one definition of flesh is “used of natural or physical origin, generation or relationship “ which sounds like the definition of “spirit” which is “The essential nature of a person or group”. Nature is used in other places as I wrote elsewhere.You even admit the need for a new s…[Read more]

Mikeangel,The doctrine of the church that is recorded in scripture was not imperfect.   We are told by Jude that the servants of Satan snuck into the church to divide the believers and follow their more “natural” instincs but do not have the Spirit.  It is these individuals which have sown the false doctrine that so befuddle the who claim to f…[Read more]

Nick Hassan wrote:Quote Is that what James means = that a body without an ESSENTIAL NATURE is dead?I do not believe that is as I am not even sure if even a dead person can exist without an essential nature.   In scripture the “essential nature” is treated as a dichotomy with no allowance for having none.  An example of this is Galatians 5:17 with…[Read more]
