Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Oct. 27 2010,16:33)Mike…………..Jesus said GOD was A SPIRIT, he also said the Words He spoke to Us (ARE) SPIRIT and LIFE. He also said those word were (NOT) HIS WORDS. GET IT?.Hi Gene,Does it say “the Words” became flesh? Or does it say “the Word” became flesh? Doesn't this imply only ONE word?And what did God's…[Read more]

Okay Ed,Then which one was the “Son of God”? Jesus, or the Holy Spirit?mike

Quote (dirtyknections @ Oct. 28 2010,11:52)Now if you guys are asserting that we will be able to do this at some future point in time…then i say fair enough….i guess we will seeHi DK,I've been saying that for a while. The scriptural truth is NOT that Jesus was EXACTLY LIKE US. The scriptures teach that someday WE can be LIKE he is.mike

Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 27 2010,09:50)HI Kerwin,The Bible clearly says Jesus' father was the “HolySpirit”,why do you discount that FACT? (Matthew 1:18, 1:20)Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of…[Read more]

For Tim and Kerwin:11Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!…[Read more]

Kerwin:Quote The answer is Jesus has no advantage over us, in regard to his not sinning despite being tempted as we are, that we cannot obtain.   It is true that his faith in God has been complete since the moment he had the ability to choose to believe God and because of that he obtained and lived by the Holy Spirit. But Jesus is said to NEVER…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 27 2010,16:36)You can see for yourself that the Greek word for worship was what was given to Jesus after He showed His divine power several times.Yes Kathi,This is one of those times:John 9:35-40 NIV35Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36″Who is he,…[Read more]

Quote (JustAskin @ Oct. 28 2010,11:16)To retain an unsullied company, the acts of the fallen deputy are expunged from the records, he does not exist to be spoken of,Kind of like Saul? Or maybe like Cain? Hmmmm……….something is fractally amiss here. mike

Quote (JustAskin @ Oct. 28 2010,11:16)Mike, only the senior or the 'firstborn' Son gets the credit along with the Father, no matter how many others were involved.Hi JA,I want you to notice something.  This tiny peice of your post that I cut and pasted is the only part that attempts to answer my point.  The rest is nothing but posturing and s…[Read more]

Hi JA,I see you attempt to do here what you did DURING THE MIDDLE OF your debate with Keith.    You have claimed YOUR superiority and claimed that I have somehow “accepted the errors of my false thinking”……….while leaving the ONLY question from my last post that I bolded and asked you to answer unanswered. So, here it is for the 3rd or 4th t…[Read more]

Hi Kathi,This thread is about Micah 5.  Does verse 4 indicate that God's shepherd will rule in the power and majesty of the name of Jehovah…….HIS GOD, or not?  David has answered your “radiance” point VERY intelligently in the “worship” thread, yet you said he was “over-analyzing” it.  Please stay on topic and tell me if, even after Jesus wa…[Read more]

Gene:Quote Not even to mention If John wanted to mean Jesus there he simply would have written Jesus there , has that ever crossed you mind Mike?.Revelation 19:11-16 NIV11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire,…[Read more]

Hi David,Are you SURE is doesn't say, “To no one else………EXCEPT MY SON”?I'm just asking for clarification.Great post, btw. I too await Kathi's response.mike

Testing 1,2,3 ( I'll let t8 know that the pages are “out of sync”. He can fix it, and if you ever post and it doesn't show up, add another quick post behind it to double check that your first post really did show up. And then pm t8 to let him know which thread has the pages out of sync.)mike

JA:Quote 'All' does not ALWAYS mean 'All'. Is Jesus 'Above ALL'? No, because Scriptures says, 'Excepting Him who put ALL power and authority under him'.I agree 100% with that statement, and actually have a stalled debate with Keith on that very same issue.  And it would be illogical to think it included God, who wasn't “created”. So let me…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 26 2010,17:55)]   Thanks David.

And don't forget men bowed down to King David. Oh no! He must be God too! Yes SF. Many things said about God are later said about Jesus and even others. Does that make them all “God”?mike

Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 26 2010,13:38)Hi Mike,The same way you do not become two flesh and blood people when you put on the new man.Why is this so hard for you to understand?What is your answer to my question, Ed? Is your answer, “NO, Jesus remained one flesh and blood person.” ?mike

1 Corinthians 8:7-13 NIV7But not everyone knows this. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. 9Be careful,…[Read more]

Quote (SimplyForgiven @ Oct. 26 2010,09:44)But as i said to Ja, but i cant find the post, i think it was deleted.Did you see the post when you first added the reply?And as far as “beginnings”, we can discuss that topic too, if you'd like. Take Gen 1: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”.Does that say the earth was there “in…[Read more]
