Quote (Cindy @ Jan. 30 2009,05:58)Hi Kathi, good post. Did you ever wonder why God would create a void earth? And would the Angels shouted for joy for such a chaotic place? Of course this is just my thinking I can't prove it anywhere in the Bible. Just that in the beginning in John 1:1-18 Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit created all…[Read more]

Hi Marty,Do you not think it possible to change body forms? To go from a heavenly body to an earthly body?We are hoping to change from an earthly body to a heavenly body. While in our new heavenly body we will be able to say that we existed in a time before we had that heavenly body if we have access to that memory. We expect that, right. We…[Read more]

Dear Marty and anyone who cares to read,Keep seeking the Lord Marty, don't be discouraged.I want to share my theory with you to consider:In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. I believe that was the Heavenly Father, all alone, no Son at this point. Also, no form to the earth and nothing in or on it, it was void. The Heavenly…[Read more]

Quote (Cindy @ Jan. 27 2009,21:30)Martian! Even though I do not believe in a trinity doctrine, I do believe in a preexisting of our Lord Jesus Christ. Why God did this I am not sure, but I do speculate on that. First late me prove the preexisting to you. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word was with God. …[Read more]

Marty and Martian,The mission/missions of the pre-existent Son was accomplished before Mary's conception. After that, His Father sent Him to begin the mission/missions of the Son as the Son of David on earth. After the cross, the Son of God began His next set of missions in heaven with the Father. It was while He was on earth that His “light”…[Read more]

Hi Martian,You asked:Quote HOW CAN I WALK AS JESUS WALKED IF HIS WALK WAS DEPENDENT ON HIS PRE-EXISTENCE? Jesus's walk while in the flesh wasn't dependent on His pre-existence. His walk whether pre-existent or in the earthy body was always dependent on the Father. In that way we imitate the Son, by depending on the Father in all things.LU

Martian,You seem to be completely hung up on the false concept that you cannot be like Christ if He had an advantage over you.

Martian,If I were changing the Greek grammar of scripture you would have a leg to stand on with your above discourse. When the original Greek doesn't fit your understanding you just throw it out as biased translation, over and over. You have an understanding, most of the rest of us have different understandings.
