Quote (martian @ April 16 2008,10:25)Lightenup, I apologize if I seemed harsh in my post to you. I am however not going to apologize for my frustration at your continual ignoring of the principles of interpretation that you agreed were appropriate. I do not have to rewrite this particular scripture. That has already been done by the Trinitarians.…[Read more]

How do you explain this:OT:1254bara' (baw-raw'); a primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a…[Read more]

Martian,Is that your way of saying “oops, ya got me and I can't admit it” to my following proof of Jesus' pre-existence: John 1:15-1615 John testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ' He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'” NASUIn my understanding, this speaks of Christ existing…[Read more]

Hi Irene,Samuel and I were able to hear each other this afternoon. I'll meet with you tonight and try again with you. This is fun- being able to hear you both.

Hi Irene,I enjoyed “bonding” with you during our speaking and commenting session. I wish that you could hear me and that was all figured out. Maybe Samuel can give me some help. I'm tired right now 'cause you kept me up till 2 am I can't think too clearly.

Thanks for sharing that T8, she has amazing talent and a heart for God in spite of her mother. WOW!

Hi all,Jesus is either equal to His Father or He is not. You can't have it both ways. Lets say that He is not equal then He certainly does not want to be made out to be equal or worshipped as equal, no way! That would make Him more like satan that thought he could be equal to the Most High God when he indeed wasn't. The actual words of Christ…[Read more]

Hi Mandy,I am joining ya'll in prayer for your brother and family.God is faithful!Kathi

Hi Irene,It is an old mic that I used with a webcam.

Hi Irene,I can hear you loud and clear. I think that I only have one place for my mic to plug into. Maybe it doesn't work.

Hello to all,Guess what, I'm set up with Ventrilo and no one else is on it now and I can't test it. It was pretty easy, thanks Samuel for good directions. You are pretty savvy with computers! If this works, it would be really neat to get to know ya'll in a whole new way.

Hey Mandy,Are you charging for this taxi service? If I was, I'd be rich but then again I would have to drive passengers that could actually pay me. G'nite for real this time:)

Hi Irene and Mandy and Samuel,Irene you are too funny with your birth control humor. I should have met you about 5 kids ago Truthfully tho, I would have each one of them again. They are my wealth and God has faithfully provided for our one income family. Thrift store clothes are cooooool don't ya know? Also, cars with dents in them give them…[Read more]

Hi Nick,We know that the Holy Spirit enables us and others to show the power of God. Without the enabling of the Holy Spirit we are powerless. So, I would say that the Spirit of God enables the worker of God, His “arm” in any particular situation, (whether it be Moses, or the Son, or us) to show the power of God.Rom 15:17-1917 Therefore in…[Read more]

Hi Nick,You are right, I just noticed this thread.  I think that the arm of the Lord can be referring to the Son of God-Jesus.  Is it always referring to Him or maybe Moses or Israel, or others that are carrying out the LORD's work?  What do you think?Isa 51:8-119 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; Awake as in the days of old, th…[Read more]

Dear Mrs.,I'm praying for you and your smart husband. God goes with us through our storms and gives us peace that surpasses understanding.God bless you both,Kathi

Hi Martian,You give alot of information. My brain's hurting. I know that takes alot of your time and I appreciate your effort. I am getting the impression that you are not satisfied with the modern English translations of the Bible. It seems to me that you think that most of the translations say one thing but really should say something else.…[Read more]
