Hi Nick,I don't know what specifically you are talking about but I don't think that we should discourage people from presenting their ideas/speculations as a theory. I agree that it is a problem when they lean on their understanding and not open to testing it. This is a good forum to share thoughts so others can challenge them and sharpen…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 31 2009,18:10)HI, Why is it that men love treating their own speculations as being the equivalent of what is written?Adding human logic turns truth into unwise speculation.Romans 1:21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish…[Read more]

Marty, I do not think you know the “I” and “me” that I am asking you to identify. Let me try to make it clearer. Who is the “I” and the “me” referred to in verse 16?Isa 48:12-16″Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last. 13 “Surely My hand founded the earth, And My right hand spread out the…[Read more]

Hi Marty,You asked:Quote Can you produce a scripture which states that Jesus pre-existed in a body before his virgin birth? And if there is such a thing, was he a man or an angel or just what? You cannot justify what you believe through speculation, and that is what you are doing here.Heb 1:10″YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF T…[Read more]

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?

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.
