Hi Keith,You mentioned me on Kerwin's 'kathy' thread (and I know it is spelled wrong but that is the way that Kerwin spelled it).  Because I want to have a place for our conversations, uninterrupted, I am going to address what you say about me or to me…over here.  I know you don't have time to have some formal discussion with me and that's f…[Read more]

The spirit of man is called the innerman or innerperson.The son of man is called man.Wouldn't the Spirit of God be the innerperson of God?Wouldn't the Son of God be called God?If God Almighty is called Father, can He be called true Father apart from a true Son? If you don't believe in the true and proper Son, then you do not have the true and…[Read more]

I think the 'from the Father, through the Son' just shows that there are more than one person in the one all sufficient Deity. A Father and Son with their Spirit=the all sufficient Deity. Take one away and no one is made or saved.Kathi

Mike,I am a Christian…a believer in the Father and the Son and their Holy Spirit. Let's leave it at that, ok. Thanks!Kathi

Mike,Literal offsprings are not 'created.' Literal creations are the first of their kind. Offsprings come from their kind. So, if the term 'created' is used on an offspring, it is not the literal use of the word 'created' but a figurative use of the word 'created.' The term 'offspring' does not represent a kind, Mike.So, let me ask the…[Read more]

Good grief Charlie Brown is what comes to mind right now…it is too late for anything more than that

I agree…Wispring good post

I know Mike but I'm sure t8 could use more compensation for putting up with those that love you and want to wring your neck

Mike,A passage about becoming partakers of the divine nature.2 Peter 1:11Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,      To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3seeing th…[Read more]

Hi Mike,I graduated another son this weekend from high school and so I have had limited time on here.  Thanks for your patience.  I thought you didn't want long posts and then right away you write these long posts and I write long posts to respond to your long posts.  We are a lost cause you said:Quote First of all, I didn't set out to prove an…[Read more]

t8,I think that if I were you, I would increase Mike's price to a three figure amount. Think about it, it could be a real money maker for you.

Ireen No problem, you are not the only one that misspells my name but I can assure you that I haven't been spelling my name wrong.  You probably got the wrong spelling from Pierre and Kerwin who misspell it sometimes also.  Most of my posts this year have my name at the end Blessings,Kathi
