Mike,That is soooo second grade!

Pierre,I don't know if we are told if the angels were made in God's image and we know that originally satan was an angel. I know man is made in God's image and that the Son of God IS God's image.Col 1:1515 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. NASUSo, I wouldn't exactly say that Christ reflects God's image but that…[Read more]

Test all things?

Pierre,How did you test that story? Did you research who Addaeus the apostle was and what he taught? Did you research anything to verify or prove anything or did you just go by your whim?

MIKE,That which has the nature of a giraffe is a giraffe, no?

Mike,those without the nature of God/THOSE WITH THE NATURE OF GOD

Pierre,That story has nothing to do with Paul.

Mike,The words were from the Bishop and also the new convert. Btw, according to you no one better be caught being a servant of Christ. Tell that to Paul, a bondservant of Christ's.

Enjoy the wonderful job of moving Keith! We'll see you when you are back in cyberspace

Pierre,Don't miss the intent of the message by getting caught up in how things aren't said the way you would want them said, ok?

Hi Pierre,Thank you for those scriptures and I agree with them and I do not know how you would think my understanding would not go with this?

Here you go Mike and JA and anyone that ought to know if the early church worshiped the Son along with the Father.

Pierre,And who's interpretation of what God is and did, and does shall I start using…yours? I can't believe less than I believe…all I can do is seek and deal with what I learn. I really don't think that it is your place to tell people to stop understanding how they understand…that doesn't even make sense. Why do you want to intimidate me?…[Read more]

Pierre,That is closer to my understanding. I do agree that the Son did not come from nothing. I think the Son was in existence before He was begotten and was within the one true God. During eternity at some point, He was begotten and began His ministry as the begotten God 'of God,' He was a helper in creation and made appearances to men, Adam…[Read more]

Great Dennison…smile 4 unity!

That is great Pierre. God did create all things material and immaterial but He did not create them from a prior substance that always existed. The creator is able to bring about what wasn't before in existence by merely His desire to bring it about.

Mike,I asked for one question, you gave me two, I answered one. I didn't forget, you forgot that I just wanted one question at a time.Quote So let's bring this down to the brass tacks Kathi.
