Good point Nick,Also see here:Luke 2:23″EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD”),NASUI think there needs to be a word study done on what it means to be called holy or born holy.Anyway, that is another difference between man and Christ, He was born holy, children of non-believers were not. Isn't that an advantage?LU

Hi Irene, t8, Nick and 94,Thanks for welcoming my daughter “Gentleness.” She likes you all already:;): She is eleven and sees me involved here and wanted to join the fun.LU

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 30 2008,02:53)Hi LU, Have you matched his hair colour?Are you as tall? Why argue with scripture which says he was the same, except for sin?Are you greater than scripture?Hi Nick,Hmmm! Was Jesus 5'5″ and blonde? I do ask my salon artist to match my haircolor to Jesus's. She says its the new rage

Quote Scripture says he was like us in all ways..except sin.Do you disagree with scripture?It should be enough. If He was from heaven, He wasn't like us in every way. Perhaps scripture means He was like us in every way necessary.LUPS I gotta sleep sometime but before I go I have to confess that I have been playing a reverse role on here tonight.…[Read more]

Hi Irene,But Nick has told me over and over that we can't be like Him if He has an advantage. If He was born without sin then He had an advantage.

Nick,Mankind can't follow Him unless He was from the earth and like us in every way.

So, if He was not exactly like us in every way we can not follow Him. Geesh, He was from heaven, we can't follow someone who wasn't like us in every way.LU

Hi Nick,How can he show us how to live when He was not like us since He was from heaven?

Nick,So we can't be like Him as He is the vine and not the branches that we are. We can't be like Him since He is from heaven and we aren't. He had the advantage of being from heaven. How can we follow someone with an advantage like that?

Nick,So we are from heaven too? If not, we could not be like Him.

Nick,So, that is a no? He didn't pre-exist? We didn't pre-exist?

Nick,So that is a yes, He pre-existed?Did you pre-exist? Did I?

Nick,So you don't believe the Son of God pre-existed His conception within Mary?

Nick,No, it is not directly attached to roots, it has leaves and fruit coming off it a vine is directly attached to the roots, a vine has no fruit directly hanging off it. We can't be like Him if we can't be a vine.

Nick,You said once that we can be just like Him. Why can't we be a vine?

Nick,But He was the vine, we are the branches. Can we be blessed to be vines too someday with branches?

Nick,Was the Son of God only a man and nothing else?

Hi Nick,Was He only a man?
