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

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

Hi Nick,Orrrrrrr Hebrews 12 is referring to those who were not holy sons which is all His sons that were foreknown to be adopted. We know beyond a shadow of doubt that Jesus is clearly God's son who was born holy and already partaking in God's holiness. That is written.No where is it written that Jesus was being chastened by His Father. Don't…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Show us where in scriptures that Jesus wasn't holy and had to be chastened so that He might be a partaker of holiness. He was born holy ya know. Jesus is an exception, He was perfect. He had to learn obedience as a man but that doesn't mean that He was ever disobedient. If you disagree please show us that Jesus was disobedient and in…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 04 2008,23:06)Hi LU, We can tie scriptures together with logic and try to make one possible truth out of three or four. But the better principles of scripture study rely on first establishing individual truths.2Cor 131 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 04 2008,18:08)Hi LU, We do not work from possible speculations but from what is written.What is not written is speculative but truth.If we wish to start speculating where will it stop?Hi Nick,Huh?Scripture interprets scripture. That is what I am trying to do here. I am using what is written and tying it together.…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 04 2008,16:47)Hi LU,You say”I believe that I can show that two are called Yahweh.” This is a favourite play of trinitarians desperate to amalgamate the Father with His Son.Jesus never said he had visited earth before so we should not speak for him.Hi Nick and Mandy,Well, you know that I am not a trinitarian, right?
