Yeshua is spoken of as Y…[Read more]

Hi Nick,So you do see that He laid the foundation of the earth with His hand, right? That tells us that He was much different than man before He became one, right?LU

Hi Nick,Jesus worked in His Father's name and authority and also was given His Father's name and authority.You say that “Jesus is never identified in scripture as having any role on earth before he came as the Christ.” Then who is the “Son” in this passage:Heb 1:8-108 But of the Son He says……. 10 “YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE…[Read more]

Hi Irene,I enjoy your songs, thank you for all the effort. I am glad that you have not blown away I enjoy hearing you sing your songs even more.Love, Kathi

Hello Gene and Adam and all,The first and the last here is the Son of God:Isa 48:12-16 12 “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 heavens; When I call to them, they stand together. 14 ” Assemble, all of you, and listen!…[Read more]

Hi,Jesus, the monogenes theos (only begotten God), is subservient to His Father, the Most High God. And we are subservient to Jesus. AMENLU

Hi Stu,I don't believe that I have accused you of anything. Maybe you could show me where if that is what you think. I have only posted to you two other times and both of them are on page 4 of this topic.I'm glad that you are not a necrophilia, me either, that's nasty. Jesus lives, several saw Him alive after His crucifixion. They believed in…[Read more]

God loves you, Stu, inspite of how you think of Him. He loves you so much that He gave His only begotten Son to pay for your sins by dying on the cross, believe it or not, Stu. He loves you with an everlasting love. I don't want you to feel bad. Someday you will know this to be true.I'm wondering, how you would answer this: If there was a…[Read more]

Irene and Mandy,I'm praying for these very different situations. Marriage is a roller coaster, that's for sure! Mandy, ouch is all I can say here regarding your brother.Love, Kathi

Mandy,Please stop this, it does not edify.

Hi Mandy,I'd put you on my “list” if it were up to me but I am not the one in charge of that. I'd put everyone here on my list in fact.Hang in there,Kathi

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 08 2008,00:44)Hi all,I posted this in pre-existense and I don't think that it got the attention it deserved so I am putting it here.Read through this passage to see if you can tell me who the “I” is here. Don't miss v. 16.Isa 48:12-1612 “Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Well, the origin of sin, hmmm. Satan's pride, yes that's it which led to disobedience.Your turn.

Hi Irene,It was good to talk to you yesterday. I love to make you and Georg laugh:) That brightens my day.I will pray for your daughter and the dog situation. She needs to watch a good comedy or something to make her smile. Goodness, she has had her own battles lately.Love, Kathi

Nick,I guess we are a party of two here tonight. Are you wearing your party hat. Maybe it is afternoon in NZ-an early happy hour for you then, eh?Anyway, grieving , yes Jesus grieved but not from chastening by His Father.So who is the “I” in Is 48:12-16??LU

Hi Nick,Maybe it is better said that He overcame making an appeal for help. He had the right to do that I do believe. That is what makes His willingness to die even more amazing.Matt 26:53-54 53 “Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? NASULU

Nick,He suffered alright but not from chastening. He suffered from mental and physical abuse from those He was willing to die for. No doubt He overcame. He overcame the right to call down thousands of angels for His defense. He overcame temptation from satan. He overcame the urge to return evil for evil, etc.LU

Mandy,I would say that the fear of God in a reverance sort of way would be the beginning of wisdom. Perfect love casts out the fear that satan and his influences try to bring our way. Maybe you can show me if I am off base here. Anyway, I believe that is the message that is being conveyed.Kathi
