Mike,
Regarding your wet flag theory, the flag does not have a normal drying pattern if it were wet. The seams would be darker because they would be thicker and stay wetter than the thin area between the seams but that is not what the picture is showing. I suspect that the photo shopping done on pictures are likely done by flat earthers including…[Read more]

Nick,
If you think the Spirit of Christ was manifested in Jesus at the Jordan. What do you call the spirit of Jesus that Jesus had before that?

Jodi,
You may have missed this question that I asked you recently:
Jodi, spiritually speaking, if Jesus wasn’t always God’s son, who’s son was Jesus before he became God’s son? Please answer this before we move on.
Also, please tell me if you understand that the term “firstborn” can apply to the only child in a family and it is not necessa…[Read more]

Hi Dig4truth,
Would you mind giving me your response to the Charlie Duke testimony video that I just posted after you have watched it? It is less than 3 minutes. I’m trying to find the shorter ones since the 4 hour video of scientific information with three astronomers and a lunar eclipse seems to be not worth your time. May I mention that it is…[Read more]

I believe that American Astronauts have indeed landed on the moon…and I honor their courage.
Here is a testimony from Charlie Duke about his faith. He is one of the astronauts that has walked on the moon.

Has anyone watched this documentary called “In the Shadow of the Moon?” I thought it was fantastic.

Good work @Anthony !
Did you write all of your post or copy some of it off a website? If you got it off a website, can I have the link?
Thinking through all that, there is some type of water above the heavens. I wonder if “living water” has something to do with that water. God is the fountain of living water. The Spirit is referred to as living…[Read more]

For all, especially our doubters Mike and Dig4truth,
Here is a four hour video of a lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011, hosted by the Astronomer Bob Burnam, Astronomy Editor of “The Old Farmer’s Almanac.” Near midway Dr. Duncan Copp was a guest to discuss his various documentaries including “In the Shadow of the Moon” where the astronauts talk about…[Read more]

Nick,
you said:
But the Spirit abided and raised him from the grave into his battered body then later took him to heaven.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and he too is fellowshiping with His Father and we too are invited to join this spiritual fellowship.
Who was the Spirit before Jesus became the Spirit, Nick?

Gene,
you said:
LU….whose son was Adam after he was created, scripture says he was the son of GOD, NOW DO YOU WORSHIP HIM AS THE SON OF GOD, If not why not?, following your logic you should, right?
Wrong Gene, I worship the only begotten Son of God who always existed and is Jehovah our Righteousness. Adam was not the only begotten, he was the f…[Read more]

Admin,
Not sure why it is doing that. I will look into it.
It is doing that in the Firstborn of all creation thread also.

Jodi,
Your theology says that there was a time when Jesus was not yet the Son of God. Your theology says that there was a time when Jesus was not yet the Messiah.
I believe that there never was a time when Jesus was not the Son of God. I believe Jesus has been the Messiah since before the foundation of the world.
We see through different…[Read more]

Nick,
you said:
Jesus Christ is the HEAD of his body, the church.
In submitting to his headship we give up our own selfishness and independence.
Only the work he does through us has any relevance.
To you Jesus is just a man, now a saint in heaven. If he is just a man, he cannot be more than one place at a time. Why doesn’t the Father work…[Read more]

I’m not depending on the writings of the early Greek church fathers for my understanding. I found my understanding in scripture.

This passage does not mention repentence and water baptism as needed first.
Romans 10: 1Brethren, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own…

Just this for now because it is late…
5Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 6but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
Please note that there is a d…[Read more]
