Marlin,you claim:Quote I call my father, father and my mother, mother. But I new it wasn't their name. Moses ask God what His name was. Did God tell him to call him Father, Son, Holy Ghost? NO, even though those are titles of His. He said, (I am that I am). In the Old Testament, He said His Name was Jehovah, yet He told Moses to tell them ('I…[Read more]

Peter was the one that walked with Jesus and wrote the books of Peter in the Bible. Jesus Himself commissioned him to go and teach to all nations under the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Do you think that Peter was deceiving the men of Rome? He also died because of what he taught about Christ and was willing to die for it. Would you be the…[Read more]

Nick, Many views are out there and here. The true sheep will know the Shepherd's voice. The sheep will be gathered together and be of one mind.

Nick,Your view is based on opinion. The view of many early church writers agrees with the word. Do you think that the apostles did not continue to write letters beyond what was placed in the Bible? There are historical documents that we can read today of stories of the apostles as they went about fulfilling their commission. I will link you to…[Read more]

Nick, The Spirit brings understanding to the word and gifts men with the ability to teach through that understanding and also give discernment to know what is false.

Nick,Laying down your life for what you believe is the strongest testimony one can make. His act was out of devotion to the Lord Jesus. Whether it helps you or not does not take away from the fact that he gave his all. I happen to agree with his main beliefs, not because he laid down his life to death although that gives him credibility, but…[Read more]

Marlin and Nick,You are too funny how you both throw the word apostate out there. You would say the same about each other's view from what I can tell.Justin was willing to be martyred for his beliefs would you?And Marlin…I do call my daughter “Daughter” from time to time. That is because we are in that kind of relationship. But like I said if…[Read more]

Nick,The title 'Lord' is used in the sense of deity and also in the sense of non-deity. Which way do you understand it?Kathi

Marlin,Quote Hi Kathi, I am sorry if I have offended you.Offended would not be the word I would use. So, no need for apology because you didn't offend me I think that your church history is wrong. In the early church writings there is evidence of the believer's being baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit long…[Read more]

Nick,What does that mean to you…that 'they are in Jesus Christ?”

Gene, Nick,When you read that Jesus is the Lord, do you understand that in the sense of deity or otherwise?Thanks,Kathi

Kerwin,Are all believers, since they are 'sons' of God, going to sit at the right hand of God? Or was Jesus a son in a unique way and only He will sit at the right hand of God?Kathi

Nick,God's nature was His inherent nature and He was in the Father as the Father was in Him. God was in Him by nature as well as by Spirit.

Jesus is the husband to the church.KathiHi Kathi:You tried to use an OT scripture relating to the nation of Israel to show that God is the husband of Israel and therefore, since the…[Read more]

Nick and Marty and Mike, In regards to the church, who is the head?Certainly a husband is not a god just because he is a head over a wife. So what would make someone that claimed to be the head of a group a deity as opposed to a normal man? Like I have said recently…If He forgives sins like a God,If He hears us yet is invisible to us like a…[Read more]

Kerwin,Then why was He crucified and accused of blasphemy because He claimed to be the Son of God. Do you think He claimed to be the literal supernatural Son of God and not just a common child of God that the Israelites might have also claimed?

So Kerwin, if the government allows for gay marriages then the gay couple is married in God's eye?

Quote (Marlin1 @ Feb. 26 2012,22:10)Quote I believe that we can assume that they baptized just as Jesus told them to…”in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”Sister Kathi,This says it all right here,  Intellectual understanding.  God didn't really mean what He said through Peter, Paul and all the others.  He really me…[Read more]

This is a thought provoking thread…but what makes one 'married' in God's eyes?Is a couple considered married in God's eyes when they are living together, confessing themselves to be believers albeit immature believers, justifying that they are 'married in their heart' and then making several children together? Or, is a couple married in God's…[Read more]

Kerwin,you said:Quote Jesus is not the deity because the one true deity cannot be tempted by evil while the Anointed was tempted by evil even as we are. It is necessary for our salvation to believe God cannot be tempted and that Jesus was.God cannot die, cannot be tempted, does not have blood…that is why the Son had to take on flesh so that all…[Read more]
