Hi T,Good refresher. I thought maybe you had some personal insight why Manasseh was allowed to rule so long. mike

Hey, chapter 70 just answered 2 questions I always had from reading the Bible.1.  Why did Moses tell God he was “uncircumcised of tongue”?  I have read speculation that he was born with a cleft palet or some other speech impediment, but check this out:29 And they placed the boy before them, and the lad endeavored to stretch forth his hand to the o…[Read more]

Quote (barley @ July 05 2010,01:40)Along these lines, Jesus Christ is referred to in several places to have been raised up and sat at the right hand of the throne of God. Trinitarians like to say that supports their theory that JC is God.  So I point out that JC is sitting at the right hand of the throne of God.  If JC is God, why is he not s…[Read more]

Hi Dennison,I do wear reading glasses, but I think it has more to do with your grammar skills than my reading skills.     I see now that the 3 points are linked.Quote 2.  In Revelations expresses God all, that he will be the source of everything, no more flashlights and what not.3.  If God is the source in the End,4.  And Christ has been the sour…[Read more]

Quote (Oxy @ July 04 2010,16:51)In John 17 Jesus asked to be restored to His former glory.  His former glory was that He was the Word of God who was with God and was God.  He has been restored to that position Rev19:13Hi Oxy,Close but no cigar.  True he was restored to his former glory.  But he was the Word of God even in the flesh. (John 1:1…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,I have one more for you. I would have mentioned it earlier, but sometimes I have amnesia. 22Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. 23All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” 24But when the Pharisees heard this, they…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ July 04 2010,11:29)According to “the book of Jasher” (mentioned in The Bible in Joshua 10:13 and 2Samuel 1:18),The office of Melchizedek was held by “Shem”.Hi Ed,Do you know if this “book of Jasher” actually says “M” is an office, not a person?mike

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 04 2010,13:03)Mike…………ED J  is right,  The Father and HIS word are one and the Same , John 1:1, is saying the in the beginning (of all things) was God and the word (intelligent utterance) was with God, and it was GOD. A Word is the very expression of the Mind of GOD or Man. Jesus is not being referenced there a…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ July 04 2010,08:47)Hi Mike,You said (in essence) because my views and explanations of them you have delved deeper into the Scriptures.Check me out on this one as well!

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ July 04 2010,12:05)MikeSo what are you trying to prove? He has answered you.He doesn't give a hoot what Eusebius believed.He has given you scripture that contradicts what you think Eusebius believed which seems is not enough for you.Do you put your faith in and build your doctrines on what a third century figure says over…[Read more]

Hi WJ,  After much unecessarily waisted time, we have closure on your point “a”.  To summarize, you asserted I can't prove Jesus was the only begotten Son of God from ONLY the fact that he wasn't known as that before he came in flesh.  I said that although he was called that in Psalm 2:7, I agree that no one at that time knew that it was Jesus wh…[Read more]
