No, t8, it is the degrading so-called humor that turns me off…I should know better than you as to what is turning me off. I do feel that I have a right to call you to a higher standard but you have every right to refuse even though it really causes you to be very ineffective in reflecting the character of Jesus, imo. If you feel that you have…[Read more]

Daniel,I had five kids in 10 1/2 years too so I understand about the limited time thing for sure. My oldest is 26 now…4 boys and then a girl. Enjoy your family, they grow fast and it only gets better.

4Thomas,Jesus is the English transliteration of the name given the Son of Mary. The Hebrew name is Yehoshua (also written as Yeshua) which means Yahweh saves.Strong's 2424 Iēsoús – Jesus, the transliteration of the Hebrew term, 3091 /Lṓt (“Yehoshua”/Jehoshua, contracted to “Joshua”) which means “Yahweh saves” (or “Yahweh is salvation”).The Gr…[Read more]

abe,Please answer my question with a plain and direct answer before asking another question. Thx

Mike,I am not implying that Jesus, as a spirit being had a mother? You are the one implying it with your argument that the Father 'fathered' the only begotten Son in the same sense that an earthly father would beget a son (in the sense of fertilizing a female ovum with a male sperm which is the definition of conception). Your argument falls…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 05 2013,21:10)So then Cyrus, who is also called the “arm of Jehovah”, is also a part of God, and has also existed from eternity?Kathi, can you tell me what the phrases, “the mighty hand of God” and “the outstretched arm of God” refer to in scripture?My understanding is the power, might, or tool by which God accomplised His…[Read more]

Mike,There you go again, mistaken.I see Jesus as someone other than the First Power of YHVH obviously, since I see Him as the Second Power of YHVH, not the First Power of YHVH.You are the blind one here.

Great 4Thomas,I agree with you on this! Yeah!! You and I believe in an eternal Father and an eternal Son. There never was a time when the son was not. You agree with that last statement, right?

Yes abe, Jesus is the root and the offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star. What do you think that it means for Jesus to be the root of David?Christ is the root because why?Thanks.

Thanks Wakeup for putting up this video. We need to be able to say NO to this sort of thing even if we stand alone among men. It is going to get much worse and we need to be willing to die if it means not taking the future mark of the beast which will prohibit us from buying and selling apart from it.Rev 11The Second Beast11Then I saw another…[Read more]

ewwww Mike,you just said this to abe:Quote So can God have existed, and then at some later time CREATED one of His fingers? Or does it make more sense that the finger/spirit of God has always been a part of God?Let me insert 'Arm of God' and see if you want to keep your statement as you put it. If so, you just said that this makes sense:So can…[Read more]

I answered you Mike. I see the God who sent Jesus as the First Power of YHVH.

Bo,The root of David is also the root of Adam. God with and through His Word are the roots of Adam for it is by them that all things were created, imo.1 Cor 8:6yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

Isaiah 37:31 NAS 30″Then this shall be the sign for you: you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 31″The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward. 32″For out of Jerusalem will…[Read more]

Hi abe,Christ was the root as what? The source of Jesse?
