Andrew,You asked:Quote Could you please explain for me begotten before time and begotten not made? I've never quite understood what these words mean.It seems like made but not made? I just don't get it.There is a belief that follows a form of Arianism that claims that there was a time when the Son was NOT, like the heavens and the earth were not…[Read more]

Andrew,If you aren't interested in your views being challenged then by all means know that you do not have to have a discussion with me here or anywhere. However, it is obvious that we see things quite differently. I have had many of the same questions as you have and I have sought them out with the opinion that Christ has always been the Head of…[Read more]

Hi Andrew,Ok, I will again go through your post and address each point.you said:Quote I certainly have no problem with scripture and or any of the verses you posted other than a few that I believe have been misconstrued by the translators.So you admit that your ideas do not line up with all those scriptures as written, you have to change the…[Read more]

BD,you said:Quote I'm not saying that we can't argue and attack the positions of the other person I just think there is a difference between attacking a position and attacking a person.Absolutely and that is why I was CONFRONTING the one attacking me personally. How many words I use in an answer, which certainly was not anywhere close to a…[Read more]

AndrewAD,Do you have a problem with scripture?Here is a compilation of the several passages and/or scriptural reasonings that suggest that Jesus Christ is deity. Isaiah 54:5″For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth. Mark 12:35 While…[Read more]

Feeling threatened, t8? It seems to be going around…talk is cheap.

BD,By denying that Mike belittles me makes you part of the problem. Btw, does the term Muslim offend you, are you not a Muslim?A key element in this area of verbal abuse will no doubt be confrontation of the abuser. It's important for you to realize that confrontation is a biblical principle. Jesus taught about this in Matthew 18:15-20. I would…[Read more]

Pierre,This article is good for answering your questions and has plenty of scripture to back up what is said on the matter:http://www.ucg.org/booklet….n-being

Andrew,Well, we are far apart in our beliefs, unfortunately. The Bible is clear on the pre-existence of the Son of God, the incarnation, and the deity of the Son of God, imo. The plan you speak of that was made from the foundation of the world is the plan of the Son becoming the Messiah…a man to save men as their kinsman Redeemer.I have found it…[Read more]

Pierre,No I haven't gone blind. What part of my 'opinion' do you need scriptures for?
