Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 14 2014,17:02)Hi , Rom 814 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.Yes Nick,That speaks about those who have chosen to become children of God IN A BETTER WAY than they were before. (See John 1:12-13)But even before they chose to walk in the ways of God, they were already “children of God”.

Quote (Wakeup @ May 12 2014,19:40)MikeB.How many times did Adam an Eve have to eat of the fruit to break the law?Another good point, Wakeup. Only once with that fruit.That doesn't necessarily mean it was the same for the fruit of life, but it does help me lean that way.

Quote (kerwin @ May 12 2014,19:20)Mike,I did not deny they were.  It is Wakeup that jumped to the conclusion that I did.And why do you suppose he jumped to that conclusion, Kerwin? Perhaps because of that unrelated scripture?

Quote (kerwin @ May 12 2014,19:18)Mike,So according to you Cain who was hid from God's face was still a son of God?Absolutely! If YOUR son does a very bad thing, perhaps even murder, does he cease to be your son? Satan is also still a son of God – despite doing far worse things than Cain did.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 13 2014,14:24)Hi WU, God does not have a body of dust.We are alike to God by His design. But God bears little resemblance to usI don't know, Nick.  God is described with a man-like form in many scriptures.  Hands, legs, face, eyes, sits on a throne like a man would, etc………Not to mention that angels apparently also l…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ May 13 2014,01:54)When jesus saw satan fall like lightning: was a near future prophecy.I agree with that part, because Satan wasn't cast out until AFTER the Lamb took the scroll from God. And that didn't happen until the Lamb had already been slain.

Quote (Wakeup @ May 13 2014,01:54)Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 12 2014,05:57)It's tough to pinpoint when Satan was (will be?) cast out of heaven.Before the resurrection, Jesus said he SAW Satan fall to the earth like lightning.  Was Jesus speaking in a prophetic fashion – talking of things yet to be?And in Revelation, is there really a time given that…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ May 12 2014,18:13)Jesus is the exact image of God because he does what he sees God doing and says what he sees God say. It is not about physical appearance………..In Hebrews 1:3, the Greek word is “charakter”, Kerwin.Do you know what a “charakter” is?
