Nick,How can Jesus be a real ordinary human being if his father was the Holy Spirit – I believe that the trinity doctrine needed for there to be a virgin birth because for Jesus to be God the Son he could not have a mortal father, and a follow on of that is Mary needed to be sinless as well (hence the Roman Catholic immaculate virgin Mary).

Nick,I don't believe in the complete inerrancy of the scripture (I believe they are mostly reliable) – there are obviously things amiss with some of the scripture we have in that you can take some of the scriptures to support the trinity and a lot more of the scriptures to support NO trinity – somewhere along the way a few pieces of scripture…[Read more]

Nick,He was addressing the Romans but when he said Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one upon all men unto justification of life.he didn't mean that by the offence that judgement only came upon the Romans. The context he was telling the Romans what the situation of salvation…

NickI read scripture and let it say what it says, I try not to pull bits out of context and if something is a symbol I don't take it as literal. I am seeking the truth and only the truth.

Nick,When you say things like “casting of the residue of mankind into the lake of fire” do you feel any compassion for those people, would you give your life for those people, do you feel any mercy?
meerkat replied to the topic Free Will? in the forum Truth or Tradition 15 years, 11 months ago
Nick I am not going to cut and paste scripture to make it fit theology. Revelation is a HIGHLY symbolic book – Jesus spoke a lot of the time in parables and his words had deeper meaning than sheep and goats being cast into a literal lake of fire to be tormented eternally while still being alive. Symbols, allegories, figures of spech and parables…[Read more]

Kingdoms …… and kings What it seems to be is that the kingdoms were ruled by kings however the 4th kingdom also is a kingdom that devours the earth and sustains itself without an actual king to lead. Babylon – NebucadnezzarMedo-Persia – CyrusGreece – AlexanderRome – different from the rest (4th kingdom – 4 horns etc, etc)
