Quote (WorshippingJesus @ June 27 2011,10:21)It is just another lame attempt at saying Jesus didn't create anythingHi Keith,Perhaps you could show us the scripture that says Jesus created anything at all?Don't forget the common sense words of Tertullian:He who makes is one and he through whom the thing is made is another.God made.  Jesus, the one…[Read more]

Kathi, all things came FROM our “ONE God”.  Paul calls our ONE God “the Father”.  Do you agree with Paul?  YES or NO?

Quote (kerwin @ June 26 2011,19:52)Mike,My question was an answer if you believe human beings have bodies of flesh and bone in the new earth as the new earth is part of the reign of God.Kerwin, You and Pierre bring up a good point. Perhaps flesh and blood will be a thing of the past after the 2nd resurrection, since God will dwell among us.Let me…[Read more]

You're welcome, Irene.And I continue to pray for you and yours even though I don't frequent the “Prayer Request” thread.peace and love,mike

Yeah…………..it's ME who doesn't understand! Kathi, do we call more than one person a “HE”?”Echad” means the same in Hebrew as “one” means in English. We can say Jehovah is ONE, meaning there is only ONE of them. And we can say our hope is to be ONE with Jesus and his God, meaning a unity.Now, tell me how all the singular pronouns lead you…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ June 26 2011,18:53)Mike,Does the Father save us apart from the Son?Quote I await your explanation as to why Jesus is many times distinguished as someone OTHER THAN and LESSOR TO “the only true God” and our “one God”. I have already been through this with you Mike.Kathi6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ June 23 2011 @ 10:33) If all we need is “good logic” to understand the scriptures then why did Jesus have to send the “Spirit of truth”?Many think they know by the scriptures who Jesus is, but the scriptures clearly teach without the Holy Spirit of truth to reveal him then they do not know who or what he is!Quote…[Read more]

shhh…………don't let Istari hear you say that!

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 26 2011,18:22)That is the problem you thing CHRISTOS is the Man Jesus, when in fact it is not him, but the Anointing which was GOD the FATHER that was (IN) HIM.Gene,Could you post the source that tells you “christos” means “anointing” instead of “anointed one”?

Quote (kerwin @ June 26 2011,16:28)Mike,Do you believe those that inherit the new earth have flesh and bone bodies?Hi Kerwin,I believe they WILL have flesh and bone bodies.  But who really knows what the new earth will be like?  Perhaps our bodies will be made of helium.  I personally think that only our consciences will be raised at first.  A…[Read more]

If you want to.  It seems we agree that angels have a defining outer perimeter that separates where they ARE from where they ARE NOT, and also separates what IS that angel from what IS NOT that angel.That's the ONLY point I've been trying to make for 333 pages now.peace,mike

Quote (Lightenup @ June 26 2011,16:16)Mike,I think that God was always able to save us because He has always been a Father with a SonSo the “mighty Father” was ONLY able to save us BECAUSE of his “mighty Son”?  The ONE (and I mean O N E) who created the heavens, the earth, and EVERYTHING in them, (including Jesus according to Acts 4:24), is…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ June 26 2011,14:54)Quote (mikeboll64 @ June 27 2011,07:21)Ed, do you agree that since you claimed “space” is what separates one angel in heaven from another, that there has to be an “end” to what constitutes the being of those angels in order for “space” to even come between them?Hi Mike,Sure, I would agree with that premice.God…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ June 26 2011,15:48)it is a British show very funnyHmmmmmmmmm……..aren't “British show” and “very funny” antonyms? They are however VERY GOOD at documentaries and should stick with them.

Quote (t8 @ June 26 2011,16:28)Whether you can understand it or not makes no difference. It is written and therefore we should accept that which is written and form our understanding from that.Truer words have never been spoken.

Quote (Lightenup @ June 26 2011,15:46)There is but one Almighty God on one side of the equation which encompasses two mighty Gods and their Spirit on the other side of the equation, as I understand it.Your understanding makes us have TWO Gods, which is a heresy.  Not even the Trinitarians go that far.

Quote (Lightenup @ June 26 2011,15:30)Mike,Quote But GOD NEVER CHANGES.And that is why we should know that the Son always existed.  There always was a Father, a Son, and their Holy Spirit.And that is also why in your scenario, Jesus prayed to the “Jesus/Jehovah” God that Abraham and David also prayed to. Does that make sense?And David ALWAYS had…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ June 23 2011,11:50)And Jesus nor the Apostles ever said “he was not God” did they?       I have to place this one right up there with Paul's “God is invisible except for when He isn't” statement!  Jesus IS God Almighty simply because no one told us he ISN'T!  That's just too much, man!  Uh, hello……………the fact…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ June 26 2011,14:03)I agree with you about the physical plane, but where is your evidence of the other plane?When prophets have visions of heaven, is their mind in our plane of existence………..or in heaven? Yet they see angels WITH bodies and wings flying here and there, right? Let me turn it around on you. Where is YOUR…[Read more]
