Quote (karmarie @ April 26 2011,20:48)I really dont like angry outbursts like that done in self justification and in a mannor in which to protect “the self” from what others may read.First, I wasn't angry at all when I posted that.  Secondly, I don't really care what you “like” and “don't like”.  And if I was “self justifying” by giving my p…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ April 26 2011,09:19)Amazing what power doctrine holds over scripture.It sure does.  Just check out the power your doctrine holds over you:Jesus – I came down from heaven.Paladin – Jesus did NOT come down from heaven.Paul – The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ April 26 2011,02:26)He didn't. You are confusing John's narative with the chronology of facts.I believe it is you who is either confused or trying TO confuse.  John 3:18 was put in written word by John some time after the conversation took place………….this much is true.  But you forget that John recorded a conversation b…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 26 2011,12:04)but lets just say it is a “possibility” that it could be though the scholars have opinions as to why it should or shouldn't be.Thank you Keith.That's all I've wanted from the beginning.  Now that we can agree that “a god” is at least a possible translation, we can each make our arguments for which…[Read more]

Kathi,Was the spirit of ANY MAN WHO EVER DIED killed? How about their souls?Face it girl, Jesus died the same death any other human dies. If his death wasn't exactly like our deaths, then what hope would we have for being raised to life from a “real” death since Jesus was raised to life from only a “sort of” death?mike

Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 2011,22:57)Mike,Many have scriptures, the Jews for example, and don't believe that the Messiah is the Son of God. Kathi, I won't argue this “nit-picky” point with you.  I know that the belief that Jesus is the Son OF God is the foundation on which Christ built his Church.  This all started because you were quoting t…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 2011,22:34)Mike,I don't make it different. The men killed the body only, not the soul. Just like the verse said.And this is true of Jesus and everyone else who has ever died, right?So how again is HIS death different than anyone who died before him or since?mike

Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 2011,22:32)Mike,The new matter was new and didn't evolve or something like that.  It was created by God not begotten by God.So this matter came from within God, since before it there was nothing BUT God.  And this matter was created by God but not by means of begetting, right?  Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 20…[Read more]

Hey D,The answer is "NO". Now answer my question.mike

Quote (karmarie @ April 26 2011,17:17)Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 27 2011,13:02)KarmarieDon't you think calling someone an enemy is promoting a gang like mentality? It is one thing to say an enemy of the faith, but another to call a believer in Christ an enemy.WJ, Istari was TRYING HARD. But….SF,Quote Continue soaking in your vomit foolYour…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 2011,22:01)Mike,About death, the soul is not killed by man…Matt 10:28 “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.Do you see how the body is said to be killed but not the soul.  Is that not clear that the soul is not dead…[Read more]

I don't see the discrepancy. Don't the scriptures teach that Jesus is the Son OF God? And isn't the knowledge and belief that Jesus is the Son OF God the foundation of the Church of Christ?They seem to go hand in hand if you ask me.Goodnight hillbilly.mike

Well, you know………….it was FUN for me. Thanks

Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 2011,21:53)Matter is a creation, new stuff, not part of God, eternal stuff.And where did it originally come from?Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 2011,21:53)So you say that the Son was created and then begotten, or created/begotten as the same thing?I say that my son was created by the method of begetting.  Angels were not…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ April 25 2011,21:19)Scriptures are the witness to the foundation but aren't the foundation…it is the Christ, the Son of the living God.What's this?  A diversion?  Christ is the “cornerstone”.  Most people believe from this scripture that Peter himself is “the rock”, since Jesus gave him this name that MEANS “rock”, and si…[Read more]
