This is a good passage here:1 Cor 6:16-20 16Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.” 17But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sin…[Read more]

Hi betweenchristendomandjws,That is good for you to admit this, I hope it will help you. You mentioned that you have trouble going to sleep. I used to lay in bed and think about a bunch of things that I didn't get done or would like to do or some frustration, then I started listening to my iPod and podcasts of favorite Christian speakers and it…[Read more]

Tim,If you spent time on the xxxchurch.com site, you would realize that they do not turn the beauty of sexuality into something perverse. They claim that satan has done that. Also, my sons don't feel 'controlled' by me, they feel free in their spirit to not treat their girlfriends in a manner leading them away from holiness and I am extremely p…[Read more]

Quote (Baker @ April 14 2011,10:21)Hi Kathi1 I always quote Hebrew 1:8, its funny I never went past that verse 8, even though I have read it before. Another Scripture to prove Jesus preexisted.

Apparently if we knew the nuances of Hebrew, the Gap theory does not 'hold water.' I found this on the web and without knowing anything about Hebrew myself, I can only consider that there may be something to what this guy wrote:“1. Hebrew grammar does not allow for a gap. it has to do with the nuances of the Vav-explicitavum, which is a…[Read more]

Mike,Ok, but do you agree that He didn't empty Himself of divine nature to become flesh?

Mike,It CLEARLY says that through Him all things were created…now back to the example I gave you regarding Rachel and Jacob and the maid. Rachel had a son THROUGH the maid. The maid did nearly the whole work, not Rachel who just gave the command.Do you see how the Son could have done nearly ALL the work and still the word 'through' could be…[Read more]

Mike,Surely you can see that the early church fathers understand the Son as taking part in creation. The NT wasn't written at the time that Acts was happening. The early church was still learning from the Spirit. They did not have the benefit of studying the NT and having several NT's in every home like us. Kathi
