Quote (Tiffany @ Dec. 17 2008,08:09)Mandy Unless you were a builder, you would not attempt to build a house; if you are a builder, you go over the plan very carefully before you begin to build. You would not pick up a set of blueprints and without studying them first say, they are wrong. You can not say the Bible can't be trusted just because it…[Read more]

Hey, thanks Nick!!

WJJohn is saying that 2000 years ago, right at the very start, before the apostles were even dead, there was false doctrine being delivered as truth ………….. and its had 2000 years.I am not saying I have all truth ….. I am here to discuss, learn, putting forth views, observations. I am suspicious about all the different denomination all…[Read more]

WJ,Yes, I do think of and acknowledge that possibility, probability, I am human and bound by my perceptions, you are bound by yours – what church/denomination has the truth? – if I go to a baptist church I get baptist doctrine, if RCC – I get RCC doctrine etc,etc ………….The feeling I have gotten when going to a “church” is that any…[Read more]

The psalms – how many of the them are dual in nature and are about David as well as the Messiah's physical suffering, death and resurrection?

world = kosmos G2889κόσμοςkosmoskos'-mosProbably from the base of G2865; orderly arrangement, that is, decoration; by implication the world (in a wide or narrow sense, including its inhabitants, literally or figuratively ): – adorning, world.Gene,How I see it at the mo is that the carnal nature is of the world – the world is not just “out there…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Dec. 16 2008,13:23)Hi MK:Do you have any family and friends who are saved and who if they disagree, are willing to come together and worship, and pursue unity in their understanding of the scriptures by discussing their differences and praying to God for revelation knowledge in His Word even if it means that their understanding is…[Read more]

Jodi,I don't think so – I don't feel that it is about Mary (however the Catholics wanted to make it about Mary) – she still did have to do all the wifely things for Joseph because she was a woman and needed to tend to the physical household tasks. That is just the way it is. Women are the childbearers, homekeepers, nurturers of both husband and…[Read more]

Jodi Adam and Eve needed to be created because they were the first – once they were created, part of that creation was tying everything together so that it was self perpetuating, to me it seems to go against the overall picture of spiritual salvation from physical corruption. Its like God had not actually planned this exactly from the beginning…[Read more]

Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.Is this saying the lamb was slain from the foundation of the world? Or is it saying the writing is only there from the foundation, and the book of life belongs to the slain lamb?

Hi Jodi,I am still thinking about the Son of God references,What do you think of Gal 4:1-7Gal 4:1Now I say, the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;Gal 4:2But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.Gal 4:3Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage…[Read more]

Good morning all —-I do believe that Jesus was the prophecied Messiah from birth and the Son of God, just as he was the lamb slain from the beginning of the world – that does not mean that he was actually slain in the beginning —-

Jodi,Good info there on the Son of God — and yes, the seed of the woman …………….I am wondering about parallels between between Genesis and Revelation Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:Rev 12:2And she being with…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ Dec. 16 2008,15:58)Hi Sis Meerkat,Well on.. you are going in right track on this interesting topic. I am also in agrrement with you. I also feel there is no necessity of virgin birth of Jesus if he was fully man and from the seed of David. Yes he shared our carnal nature in fact Paul writes that God sent His son in the likeness…[Read more]
