Dear Samuel,I agree with NH, Tim, Cato, 94 and Seek on these last 5 posts.  I have been praying for you as well.  Recently I was reminded of Dan 3:12 involving Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. You probably know how they were thrown into the fire and how God did not prevent them from the heat but He met them in the fire and protected them through H…[Read more]

Martian,You say:”I am on hee for pure entertainment purposes. I do not expect to have my opinions changed nor do I expect to cjhange anyone elses. You and NH seem to think this is some kind of a ministry and seem to actualy believe that you will change the others mind or at least have some impact on the Kingdom.” My thoughts.Martian, perhaps your…[Read more]

Hi David,We are on two sides of the fence on this. Perhaps concern should not so much be whether something we do was associated with an idol presently or at some point in history for that focuses our attention on how things are or were used for the bad. Instead, our focus should be on how things can be used or thought of for the good. Things…[Read more]

Hi Cato,I agree! Thank you for your post.

Hi David,Is your previous post directed towards me?

Hi all,My family and I celebrate the resurrection of Christ every year and plan to this Sunday as well. I am not even wanting to know about pagan this or pagan that. There is no power in the pagan traditions anyway so if I happen to do something that resembles a pagan tradition, well, I certainly don't do it to honor some pagan god or tradition.…[Read more]

Dear Samuel,You wrote:My Biggest problem is my “Mouth” and my “Attitude”. I get myself in so much stuff that I have to go squalling back to back to Jesus about every day.I've prayed a many nights “Jesus, just fix me, fix me so I don't do these things ever again. Please Lord fix me”My encouragement to you is this:If you need a break then take it…[Read more]

Hi Martian,I really do not want to discuss about WJ with you. For know, I just want to know if you use the Strong's concordance/dictionary in your studies?

Hi Martian,Thank you for your reply. Do you use Strong's as well in your studies?

Samuel,Don't leave. From the posts of yours that I have read, which aren't many, I have the impression that you have a tender and kind spirit. My last post to you was meant to encourage you and now this. God bless your path!

Yea Samuel, preach it brother!

Hello Martian,I am trying to grasp this Hebrew way of thought as “function”. Meanwhile, I would like to know why the definition of the greek word “en”, according to Strong's #1722 can be translated as “by” or “in” but according to you, if I understand you correctly, “by” isn't even an option and it must be “in”? Why would you be dogmatic on this?…[Read more]

Dear Martian,I would like that cup of coffee expecially if it ended in agreement Meanwhile, I will look up that Hebrew site.Thanks!

Hello Martian,Ya know, I'm sorry, I've obviously upset you.  Please forgive me.I have my convictions, you have yours.  We have to do our best with what we are given.  By the way, I am interested in the history of cultures, in fact I have spent some time recently with a Rabbi to do just that.  He is a Messianic Jewish Rabbi.  I have also taken 3 se…[Read more]

Hi Martian,You have asked, “Christ pre-existed and that teaching produces what?”My answer:Believing that Christ pre-existed as the Son of God has been the biggest eye opener of my spiritual life. It has changed my life and I am so much more interested in studying scripture and doing God's will than I was before . That has been 15 years now. I…[Read more]

Dear Martian,I looked at the greek and I think that Heb 1:8-10 is well translated in the NASB. But thanks anyway.

Hi Nick,You asked if time was before Genesis? Well, I can't recall scripture to answer that. I can't imagine a place without time being a factor or measured in some way. I suppose it is possible to have the passing of time with a different way to measure it. The Bible does say a day is like a thousand years: 2 Peter 3:88 But do not let this…[Read more]

Nick,Does God need time? hmmmm. I suppose it depends on what He wants to accomplish and how He wants to accomplish it. I'm sure He is in control of that too. What is your point?

Hi t8,What do you think that He emptied Himself of?
