Quote (gollamudi @ Jan. 22 2010,11:16)Hi brothers Kerwin and Chosenone,Please debate your issues on the appropriate thread not on this one.Thank youAdamWe have certainly veered off topic.

Gollamundi,The promise was made to David and stated nothing about Solomon. David was told he would always have a son to sit on the throne if his sons were careful to obey God. Solomon was not as was deprived of 10 tribes and one of his descendants was deprived of the other 2. Stop listening to deceivers.God is the one who chooses which of…[Read more]

gollamudi,Your piece starts our with a lie as The word עַלְמָה can either mean a young woman or a virgin.Even then you must consider that the Greek manuscript is older and therefore considered more reliable.

Quote (gollamudi @ Jan. 22 2010,11:48)Hi brother Kerwin,Christianity had  developed its Christology as the time progressed. The N.T writers had put words in Jesus' mouth to prove their dogma. But they were mere human beings therefore they created havoc on the religion of Christianity by way of misinterpreting Jewish scriptures.Please think…[Read more]

Quote (Gene @ Jan. 21 2010,18:15)Kerwin and Terraricca……………there is (NO) such thing as a FREE WILL, NONE exists. We are (CAUSED) by the operation of GOD'S (GRACE) to Chose the way of Salvation. “Where sin did abound (GRACE) did Much MORE Abound”> We are (CREATED) unto good works, Trying to glorify Man by his so-called (free will) is only…[Read more]

Ed J,I am trouble understanding what you mean when you state “the Holy Spirit is God the Father of Jesus Christ”.   Could you elaborate?

Quote (JustAskin @ Jan. 21 2010,06:44)Kerwin was playing logic with God and quite rightly got burned.My sympathy to him was wrapped along with a stern warning:Specifically: “The  Jew seek a sign and the Greek seek ” and you know how the rest goes.Basically, thr heart that is not truly seeking God will never of it's oen, find him.Kerwin, my fr…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ Jan. 21 2010,11:03)kerwin.   I should add that the last part of the statement, “From this we know that the same message is obviously preached to both peoples”, I don't agree.  Jesus taught the 'lost sheep of the house of Israel', the gospel of 'the kingdom'.  Paul preached to all nations 'the gospel of “Grace”.  Two dif…[Read more]

Quote (Gene @ Jan. 21 2010,08:37)Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 21 2010,11:27)terraricca.   Lets reverse your reasoning, “If mankind could 'choose' salvation with his 'free wiil', then why would Jesus have to die?” Blessings.That is easy to answer.  Jesus provided the way for without the way you cannot choose to follow the way.On the other hand t…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ Jan. 21 2010,05:54)Quote (terraricca @ Jan. 20 2010,17:06)hi Kerwinyou know if we could not choose freely then what s the point for God to sacrifice his son and go through the gospel to assemble the lost soul of the kingdom.it seems more like a false teaching .we have to offer ourselves to God the way Christ did by choice and…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Jan. 21 2010,06:02)Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 19 2010,18:28)You are correct that Deuteronomy 6:4 proves there is only one God.   We all know that if you have one of an item you do not have 3 of that same item.  For example you cannot have 1 apple at the same time you have 3 apples.  You either have 1 apple or 3 apples.  The Tri…[Read more]

Quote (selah @ Jan. 21 2010,05:47)Hello Kerwin,You have said in part that “the plural form of one is the unity (and) that is not what God is stating in Deuteronomy 6:4 as God is claiming he is the only God ……..”I know you believe that God is not saying that here, but for this discussion, if this is your proof text as to the oneness (singular)…[Read more]

Quote (Gene @ Jan. 20 2010,13:43)Kerwin……….Elohim (IS) a uni-plural word,  It means (POWERS) There are Seven Spirits of GOD each is a distinct aspect of ONE GOD. Very much like a man is a uni-plural being , he has a body with a sense of touch, of smell, of site, of sound, of taste  all these senses make (ONE) MAN. Even the Body of Christ i…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Jan. 21 2010,03:15)hi COyes i do ,first you should know that Paul always started to go to the Jewish synagogue before starting preaching to the gentiles,I believe you are correct. He certainly seemed to do that in Macedonia and Rome.

Quote (chosenone @ Jan. 21 2010,01:28)Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 20 2010,18:18)According to this scripture Paul is sent both to the Gentiles and the people of Israel.Kerwin.    Here we have the field and scope of Paul's ministries-first and foremost to the nations, later to kings, and meanwhile to the sons of Israel among the nations.   Notice “to th…[Read more]

gollamudi,I am not going to agree with you that Jesus did not talk about the atonement as he did speak of his need to die on the cross.   Any Jew should know that the wages of sin is death.  If a sin is committed then there must be a death.  Under the Law of Mosses animal were allowed to stand in.   Under the New Covenant Jesus who did not sin acc…[Read more]

Gollamundi,I tend to believe such experts that date scripture as being full of it as they seem to like speculate on little evidence.     I do expect that is Peter’s second letter to a certain group of individuals that he calls “who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:”.   That doe…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ Jan. 20 2010,13:13)Hi brothers kerwin and Terraricca,I appreciate your response on my post above. Yes James the Jew was the one who contradicted even Paul's doctrine of Faith without works. I hope you will appreciate a Jewish way of interpreting Faith. Please see other arguments of a Jew on Jesus.Thanks and peace to youAdamYou…[Read more]

Quote (selah @ Jan. 20 2010,12:45)Hello Kerwin,You state in part that Deuteronomy 6:4 proves that there is only one God.  I agree.I am sure you have heard the phrase “they were as one” or, “the whole platoon advanced as one”.Not sure, but I think that in the OT it states that David's 288 singers flanked each side of the congregation and sang as…[Read more]
