I DID answer yours.  I said “NO”, and then explained “…..not literally”.What more do you want?NOW ANSWER MINE before I'm forced to “Final Showdown” your butt. mike

Okay, I'm “unwadding” right now.  I'll look forward to seeing your education work FOR me instead of AGAINST me for once.mike

Hi Pierre,From t8's OP:Quote There would have to be proof that the person was deliberately avoiding a question, and if they were tiled and they wondered why, then they could be told why, at which point the member can answer the question and have the tile removed.So yes, there is redemption. But it will cost you an honest answer. mike

Keith,I don't know if he was begotten before time or not, but I don't really care because I'm quite confident that the abstract notion of “time” was not what John implied when he said “nothing” came into being without him.Nor do any of us know whether or not God lives within time.  Many claim that He lives outside of it, but they can't know this…[Read more]

Good post Pierre,I was just discsussing this “tool” thing with Paladin in a pm. But you can handle that discussion as I'm awaiting responses to my bolded questions.mike

Hey D, This is a beautiful song from the biggest selling album of all time until Garth Brooks finally topped it.  Unfortunately, this song was also Peter Frampton's undoing because he had a solid following of hard rockers, who bailed on him after he released this “girly love song”.  But give it a listen, and let me know if you think Peter and t…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ April 02 2011,10:17)The irony is that the moderator claims that he worships the true God but then slanders a man made in God's image.Thank God you've never slandered anyone on this site, Jack!       Besides, a slander implies speaking FALSELY about someone else.  I didn't do that, as you will soon find out if t8 imp…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ April 02 2011,10:23)Men don't 'die' today because sheol is no more. New Testament saints go directly to God.Where do those who AREN'T saints go? Where are they awaiting the resurrection? And where were those who died before Jesus “moved to” if Sheol is no more?mike

Dude, I just hope and pray that t8 incorporates my "Final Showdown" idea. I have questions just waiting for you and Keith. I'm sure many of us do. mike

Quote (Paladin @ April 02 2011,01:18)It has come to my attention that there is a little square under my name in every post I publish. Is there a significance attatched to it I should know about? It has been there since the first post I made back on 17, June 2009, when I posted a fiction story about the ancient campfire, found on page 21 of the…[Read more]

Jack is SOOOOOOOO scared by this idea of having to actually ANSWER our questions! I wonder why? mike

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 02 2011,09:12)No mikeHe was already sitting on the Holy hill when he was begotten.Prove that theory using the words of scripture.mike

Hi Kathi,You didn't directly address these points:Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 01 2011,22:08) Because if Jesus died like we die, as you've acknowledged, and HE is eternal despite dying, then we ALL are eternal, right?  And if we ALL are eternal, then we ALL are deity, according to the things you're saying.Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 01 2011,22:08)In…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ April 02 2011,09:43)Religous persecution and the desire to silence certain posters and force them to speak or not to is all this is.

T8, please, please, please do the "Final Showdown" thing.  Because the "Forum for people who do not run away" and the "Hot Seat" have not worked.Please consider this category where ONE person could ask ONE question, and if the other doesn't answer it HONESTLY and DIRECTLY, they will get a tile.Then maybe after a couple of tiles, we'll finally…[Read more]
