Too right Andrew.

2….. It says God would send them a spirit of dilution in order for them to believe the “LIE”.

I take it “dilution” is a typo, lol.

Take all the points in 2 Ths2 and put then together,

1…..it was a preexisting “iniquity” that was working already in the churches at the time of the apostles.

2….. It says God would send them a spirit of dil…

No it is never said in 2Thess that a false version of Jesus or a trinity would declare himself God but rather a man of sin would.But Gene in his rose colored machinations would have us believe this.

Strange that Jesus never warned anyone. Gene has to warn everyone instead. Perhaps it slipped Jesus’ mind?

Hi HH,

I experienced God as being very in touch with human suffering on individual and global scale. When I felt close to God I felt God’s compassion and desired to act either through prayer or deeds, but when I felt distant to God I did not feel God’s compassion nor the desire to act. I believe love and compassion is the fruit of God’s Spirit.…[Read more]

We were created in God’s image, he certainly wants us to try to understand him

Yes, you are right.

But, to a point.

The true meaning of the word ‘God’?

Perhaps easy.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

‘Where can I go to go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into Heaven you are there, if I make my bed in Sheol, behold you are there.’

‘If you have seen me, you have seen the Father’.

Have you seen Jesus, have you heard Jes…[Read more]

I like your open-mindedness Hoghead.

Perhaps different layers.
Tree has roots, trunk, bark, wood, gum, branches, leaves, seed, etc.

Still one tree.

Jesus can do nothing without the Father.
A tree can do nothing without the roots either.
The branch could say, if branches could speak, “I can do nothing without my roots”.

Still one tree.…[Read more]

Ed,

What is my motive in this thread?

My motive is firstly to help those who are feeling lost.

Secondly, my motive is to find answers myself.

Would you could you understand that?

I was thinking about you EdJ, and a verse came to me: something about a King being distracted by news from the east /west. Then I pondered your support of Donald Trump, and all he stands for, and wondered what a country under your rule would look like.

Ed,

I’m constantly tempted to lay a complaint about you.

You are very annoying Ed. Could you please go and post on another thread?

Guess

Guess.

‘You’ would say ‘no’.

Ed,

What are his sources of information, and are they credible sources? That’s all I’m asking: no need for a song and dance!

Are you both lost, or seeking 🙂

1) The evidence suggests Hebrew and Greek.

Jesus spoke Hebrew and Greek, and not Aramaic according to your evidence. What evidence?

This video provides evidence that there never was a “W” sound in ancient Hebrew.
Please reconsider watching it, it may be one of the reasons why you are here.

Hi Ed.

I prefer trustworthy evidence to even consider what you say.

Do you have anything else?

What do you believe we are here for?

Hi Ed, I think you might have misunderstood my first question.

I didn’t mean on this forum. I meant “HERE” as in this life.

First question.

What do you believe we are here for?

Hi Ed,
I don’t watch preachers /teachers on YouTube.

Let’s go back to basics.
What language did Jesus and his disciples speak?

I will answer that:  Apparently, Aramaic.

According to Wikipedia, the 6th letter in Aramaic is Waw.

Quote “Waw (wāw “hook”) is the sixth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician wāw Phoenician waw, Aramaic wa…[Read more]

“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” (Prov 18:13)

But you’ve said it all before

Why would you think stating your opinion without any proof would be a benefit to anyone?

My opinion? I have researc…[Read more]
