We all HAVE a soul, but according to Jesus, the soul is something other than the body. For man can kill the body, but cannot kill the…[Read more]

If you want to discuss with me, come to the Freak Greek thread. Or take up the debate where Francis left off. I chased you down to ask ONE SIMPLE QUESTION of you. After a couple of weeks, you FINALLY answered it. If you have ONE SIMPLE QUESTION to ask of me, then go for it.mike

No Gene,I have ONLY followed the teaching of the scriptures. At one point, Jesus plainly tells his disciples he is NOT a spirit. Later, after he ascends to heaven, we are told three times by the Apostle Paul that he IS now a spirit.We are also told that flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of God, where I perceive Jesus to be right now.Am I…[Read more]

Keith,Last time, dude: WHEN you have ONE scholar that says “a god” is a complete grammatical impossibility, then you only need find TWO MORE to catch up to me.Show me Dr Mantley's actual teaching on 1:1 from his book. You know, the quote that the JW's apparently thought supported them. After reading what he wrote about John 1:1, and not what he…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ Mar. 24 2011,17:08)The idea of origin had been dropped and the 'genes' part of the word was silent.By whom?  And when?  And why?  Strong says the word literally means “only begotten”.  It is used many times in scripture in reference to an only begotten child.  The base words “mono” and “ginomai” mean “only” and “gen…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 24 2011,08:36)That means that over 1000 scholars signed off their reputations that the correct rendering of John 1:1c is anarthrous.And we all know that majority rules, right?  Which makes me wonder why the road leading off into everlasting life is narrow, and few are the ones finding it………instead of broad,…[Read more]
