Good point t8,Could you fix the choices to say “a” instead of “the”? In the title too?Thanks,mike

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ Mar. 18 2011,09:46)Human nature CANNOT partake of the divine nature.KJTell that to your buddy Keith, who thinks Jesus is still human AND divine.mike

Pierre,Did you actually quote somebody and do it right?!? So you CAN teach old dogs new tricks! Good scriptural answers to Adam being “before Christ”.peace and love,mike

Gene, You are dancing all around the truth of the matter.  Take this a step at a time, and DIRECTLY answer my questions.1.  Do you contest that the spokesman for the King of Abyssinia was called “the Word of the King”? YES or NO?  This spokeman wasn't really a spoken word, Gene.  He was a human being who was CALLED “the Word of the King” bec…[Read more]

Just answer the Rev scripture, Gene. If you believe ANGELS are real, then why not the wicked ruler of a third of them, Satan? Men who live ON the earth cannot be hurled TO the earth, Gene.So it is definitely spiritual angels who are hurled to the earth. Who are they hurled to the earth WITH? The original serpent, presumably the one from the…[Read more]

Quote (Paladin @ Mar. 17 2011,12:29)That's o.k. for you to say that Mike as long as you remember, the Devil thinks like you do, so it really has no power does it? (Remember, “Thou believest God is one, the devils believe, and tremble”)Paladin,I'm NOT a Trinitarian, remember?

Quote (Paladin @ Mar. 17 2011,15:12)I think Jesus had glory in prospect as prophecy.Does what you think fit the scripture?  Jesus asks to be glorified with the glory he had before the world.First of all, your understanding means that Jesus was asking for the glory of a “prophetic prospect”.  Was he saying he wanted to go back to being a DNA who i…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 17 2011,18:14)Mike…………I never contested the fact Jesus Spoke God's Word to Us , i have alway said that before you were ever on the site.

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 16 2011,22:41)T8,The body is saved by being transformed from mortal to immortal.Hi Kerwin,We seem to agree for the most part on this subject. But I believe the body suffers decay and returns to the dust from which it came.There is no scripture I'm aware of that says the body that we die in will be the SAME body we are raised…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ Mar. 17 2011,15:42)So Mike tried to bully us into conceding the grammatical possibility that it may be translated 'a god' but instead he concedes to us. What exactly did I “concede”? I wasn't the one ruining my personal reputation on this site by speaking falsehoods and claiming it COULDN'T be translated as “the word…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 17 2011,14:55)Mike has also “admitted” that it is “possible” that it could be translated “the Word was God”.Yes Keith,Because I AM HONEST!  It is GRAMMATICALLY POSSIBLE to translate the Greek three ways:1.  “the word was god”2.  “the word was a god”3.  “the word was the god”Don't you agree that ALL THREE of these are…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ Mar. 17 2011,13:55)The translation of the second 'theos' as 'a god' is NOT a possibility.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 17 2011,10:23)It seems that if it was possible to do that without violating the overall theme of the Bible which is a book about Monotheism, then they would have translated it as “a god” but they didn't did they?The first people who had the chance to add the “a” did so. And the English scholars who have translated…[Read more]
