Hi Nick, Thanks for the welcome back.
you said:
Hi LU,
Welcome back.
My feeling is that we should not apply human concepts to what happens in the spiritual realm.
We should not follow the samples and of others because we fear God
God does not call Himself a PERSON.
It is a theological term men have applied rather dangerously to…

Hello everybody,
Mike wrote: The Greek word “monogenes” is from the Greek word “monos”, meaning “alone, one, only”……. and the Greek word “ginomai”, meaning “generated, came into existence, created, made”. Strong says “ginomai” is: a prolongation and middle voice form of a primary verb; to cause to be (“gen”-erate), i.e. (reflex…

Hi Bo, I hope you are well. Have you ever asked God to show you who Jesus is in a dream? Watch this:

Good post!Lightenup replied to the topic PROOF of Jesus' eternal past existence in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years ago
Great Nick, we agree. Not sure why you mentioned the bit about when He walked on water, though.

Yes Nick, if they wanted to do what was best. Should non-believers follow God…yes they should.

Hi DavidH,
That is a good question. My understanding is that He was wanting to ascend to the Father asap and was indicating that He wasn’t there to stay. He wanted her to relay that to His disciples to remind them of what He had told them in John 14:28.John 20:17
Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the F…[Read more]Lightenup replied to the topic Lightenup and GeneBalthrop only in the forum Debates 11 years ago

The Bible says that YHVH alone created the creation. YHVH is both Father and Son-two persons. YHVH is God of gods AND Lord of lords. Jesus is the Lord of lords, Gene.Lightenup replied to the topic PROOF of Jesus' eternal past existence in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years ago
@DavidH,
No, I don’t believe that the resurrected body of Jesus has blood. His blood has been poured out. Why do you ask?Lightenup replied to the topic Same Sex Marriage in the forum View Points 11 years ago
Hi Bo,
you said:The main question is why are you considering an abomination as acceptable because people you know consider it acceptable?
Well, I don’t consider it acceptable, why do you think I do? I believe that when a nation claims to be ‘under God,’ the God of the Bible, the definitions of things like marriage should be in line with the…[Read more]

@GeneBalthrop
I understand that a day can be a thousand years long in God’s mind. However, the act of being begotten was an event.
The event when the Son was begotten happened BEFORE creation in order for creation to be an event to come through Jesus who is also called the firstborn of all creation and the beginning of the creation. The beginning…[Read more]Lightenup replied to the topic Proclaimer vs Lightenup in the forum Debates 11 years ago
@t8
you said:No LU, that is what you are hoping it is.
I am not hoping that Jesus is God the Father. What makes you think that? The Father is the true God, the Son has always been a part of that true God. Each bear the name YHWH, one as the God of gods and the other as the Lord of lords.
I give honour to God as God, the son as the son of that…

Hi Bo,
This was never a debate, just a discussion. I have answered all your many questions the best I knew how. I truly believe that one day your knee will bow and your tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD (as in YHWH as the Lord of lords, not as in YHWH who is the Father.) I have enjoyed discussing this with you. You have challenged me…[Read more]Lightenup replied to the topic Same Sex Marriage in the forum View Points 11 years ago

Thanks David for your comment. Do you think that all that fuss about legalizing same sex marriage is about government benefits and rights to adoption for the most part?Lightenup replied to the topic Same Sex Marriage in the forum View Points 11 years ago
Well, I can safely say that I haven’t seen those spellings before in reference to YHWH…Yawa, Yahoo, really?? You might what double check that. I know you can search “Yahoo” to find truth but that is called a search engine. 🙂 It’s a joke.

What is a Yawa god, AndrewAD? Did you just pull that name out of the thin air? The jewish couple must not know their Bible then.
Lightenup replied to the topic Same Sex Marriage in the forum View Points 11 years ago
Thanks AndrewAD. I’m just trying to put my self in their place and think through what the government should be legalizing. I know what I think the church should allow and that is that marriage is between one man and one woman and a life long lasting covenant before YHWH. I would never vote to allow two people of the same sex to be married as a…[Read more]

He kerwin, what if the homosexual does not know God, the designer of sex, are they still showing contempt for God’s creation?

Lightenup Andrew, you sure did jump to a conclusion. . What about my post tells you whether I believe in same sex marriage or not?
