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,

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]

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

1.The body of Christ includes all who have been reborn into him of water, in his name, and the Spirit.
2.The head is the Master of the Body and being ‘ beheaded’ that he might rule in us is essential.

Nick,
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…

Hi Jodi,
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]

Nick,
You are avoiding the answer. How do you obey the two commands? Do you love the Son as yourself or as your Lord?

Hi Dig4truth,
I didn’t think you did that intentionally and I totally understand. Sometimes our devices seem to have a mind of their own, ha.
Do you think it is possible that the Light of day one which was likely ‘begotten’ not created, could be the begetting of the Son who is from eternity?
You can take your time and enjoy your tacos before…[Read more]

Nick,
you said: He is Lord, but not God.
You have rightly said that they are distinct. Jehovah is both God and Lord, however.
