David,you said:Quote First, people on here kept repeatedly saying that Eggs (for example) aren't bad.WELL NO ONE IS SAYING THEY ARE (intrinsically) bad, just as no one is saying a knife is intrinsically bad.  It is how the thing is used.Now you are making it appear as if we are saying that the story of Jesus' birth isn't in the Bible.NO ONE IS…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 15 2012,07:19)LU………..Even the word Easter comes from the ancient Pagan Word Estar , She was the pagan GODDESS  of  sex and Fertility (easter eggs and bunny rabbits) . David is right those ancient pagan day were incorporated into Christianity by the Greeks and ROMAN Pagans The pagans  Emperors like Constantine  a…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Mar. 11 2012,20:28)Quote There is a VAST difference between what Christians do and what pagans do but there are also similarities. You want to claim some are evil based on the idea that pagans do certain customs, but then why not include all the things that pagans do that are similar to what Christians do or what God's people in the…[Read more]

Pierre,I support what I say with scripture.

Pierre,If you speak of my foolish words which are quotations of scripture then they are not my words but God's words…and so you say that God's words are foolish?? No fear, Pierre?? Is that wise?? Look at the interlinear of the original text, study and learn.Who is the Lord of all Pierre?

Kerwin,The verse means that if you are a slave to a man, do not seek to be released when God calls you to faith in Him. If He calls you when you are not a slave to a man, then He says to not become a slave to men. Your theory doesn't line up with this verse because you believe we are to be a slave of the man Jesus. His identity is not merely a man…[Read more]

Marty, The Targums tell us that the Jews that John wrote to were very familiar with the term 'the Word of the Lord.' That is my point. The Targums show that the Jews did not think that the 'Word of the Lord' was a plan.Marty do you believe that Jesus is the Lord of all? Is that what you are saying in response to my question. Please answer…[Read more]

That is amazing to say that Christmas and Easter/Resurrection Day are precepts of men and not the doctrine of God. Really? The story surrounding the birth of Christ is not found in the Bible? Men just established the whole celebration…there were no angels rejoicing in heaven? Of course the story is in the Bible  and of course a multitude of…[Read more]

Pierre, You will be held accountable for your sarcastic and foolish words.

Nick,The Jews were very familiar with the term 'The Word of the Lord.' They replaced the name 'YHVH' for 'The Word of the Lord' in the Targums when the scriptures spoke of God' appearing to them or speaking to them. This article shows many examples and I have just pasted a few:http://oneinmessiah.net/TargumMemraTheWordOfGod.htmTHE MEMRA, THE WORD…[Read more]

Kerwin,you asked:Quote Where does scripture state believers are not to be a slave to a man. 1 Cor 7:22 For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman ; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave. 23 You were bought with a price ; do not become slaves of men.Also, Kerwin, who is the Lord of all?

Marty, The Jews were very familiar with the term 'The Word of the Lord.'

I'll pray for Irene, Georg…thanks for letting us know. She has been through so much health wise. Good thing she's the 'Firecracker.'Blessings for a swift recovery for Irene and for patience and compassion for the caregivers.Kathi

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 11 2012,01:52)David,If you believe eggs and rabbits are pagan objects then to you they are.  I was not taught such things.On Easter I have payed a search and find game for eggs.  It did not have anything to do with fertility.I was taught the Easter Bunny was a cuddly creature that brought eggs and candy.  Nothing about fe…[Read more]

Quote (annie @ Mar. 10 2012,16:52)Quote (Lightenup @ Mar. 09 2012,09:15)People can choose to be pagan hunters and paganize what God has made good, i.e. a tree, sex, eggs, bunnies…the list goes on and on. We can choose to find the bad in things and see how that can justify our separation from the Church or we can seek to understand beliefs and…[Read more]

David,I am not imitating pagan practices. I never have dyed eggs with blood, I have never carved a hunk of wood and made it an idol…lighten up!God speaks against the religious spirit, why are you embracing that?Col 2: 20 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit…[Read more]

Shimmer,Videos/documentries can't always be trusted to portray the whole truth. Have you been to these places to witness this first hand. Someone came on HN and said that they were at one of those places and said that it wasn't like the video portrays it. Be careful what you believe and don't judge when you do not have all the facts.  There are…[Read more]

Hi Marty,I said:Quote Jesus became a man but that was not His original essential identityYou said:Quote Please give me the scripture or scriptures which specifically state this.John 1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.3Through him all things were made; without him…[Read more]

Hi Kerwin,I know we can be slaves of Jesus and that is what we should be. I was pointing out that according to you, Jesus is just a man and the scripture says that we are not to be a slave of a man.It is just another verse that opposes your doctrine.Kathi
