Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,20:18)Hi MB, You have no interest in any scriptures that do not offer a level of support to your daft mission. Why is this?Well, first you must SHOW me a scripture that teaches me that Jehovah called Jesus a god in a DEROGATORY, FALSE GOD sense.How can I “pick and choose” between the scriptures when you have yet…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,20:26)Hi MB,You can add all you like to scripture but do not expect US to join in too.Is Jesus LITERALLY your ONLY Lord, Nick? Or is Jehovah also your Lord?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,20:22)Hi MB, God also wrote 1 cor 8. You need to try to align it with the other verses you choose to exaltIt aligns perfectly, Nick.Here, let me repost that part of verse 5 for you again: as indeed there ARE many gods and many lords.What do you make of that, Nick? Is Paul talking only about false gods and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,20:04)Hi MB, You have never answered the question as to whether or not you are one of US who recognise one God.Yes Nick,For me, there is but one God, the Father, and one Lord, Jesus Christ.This does not mean that Jesus Christ is literally the ONLY lord in existence – nor does it mean that the Father is literally…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,19:56)Hi MB, You have your answer directly from scripture.Which “scripture” have you shown me that teaches us that Jehovah called Jesus a god twice to show that Jesus was a “false, so-called god”?I prefer an answer to ALL of my questions, but at least answer this one:Do you believe Jehovah called Jesus a god in a…[Read more]

Kerwin,The bottom line is that God made woman FOR man, and until recently in certain cultures, women remained the PROPERTY of their fathers, and then their husbands.This is still the case in some cultures.And owning a PERSON as property is called “slavery”.

No Wakeup,I don't believe we can call the mind of God a “HE” – do you?And since God used to be the ONLY being in existence, but then later came this new living, breathing being – you can't deny that this new living, breathing being was brought forth INTO EXISTENCE, right?What's the other choice?  If “he” wasn't there with God at first, but then…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ April 02 2014,21:43)Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 03 2014,09:57)Now do you understand what I'm asking?Who said, “This is my beloved Son……. listen to him” ?  Because those words came from heaven, but couldn't have been spoken BY “the Word of God” – because the “Word of God” was on earth at the time those words were spoken from…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,19:32)Hi MB, So logic again forms a false foundation for you and you struggle to grasp what is spiritual?That isn't an answer to my questions, Nick. It is mindless tripe.I will take that mindless tripe to mean, “Yes Mike, David was called a king because he WAS a king, and Abraham was called a lord because he WAS…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,19:12)Hi MB”Because USUALLY, when someone is CALLED something, it is because that someone IS that thing.”.1 Corinthians 5:11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to e…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 03 2014,18:42)Hi MB, Some are CALLED gods as the scripture says Moving right alongAnd what does it mean that they are called gods, Nick? Hmmm……. Well, what does it mean that David was called a king? Doesn't it mean David WAS a king?How about when Abraham was called a lord? Didn't it mean he WAS a lord?Moses was cal…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 03 2014,11:10)John spoke in symbolism to say that in the future there is a man on a white horse that was called Faithful and True and is called by the  name of the word of God.  Kerwin,The Greek says, “the name of him is called the Word of God”.It does not say he “is called by the name OF the Word of God” – like you've m…[Read more]

Quote (jammin @ April 03 2014,07:50)Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 03 2014,09:29)I guess I'm not seeing your point, jammin.If Jesus had human nature while he was on earth, then Jesus had limitations while he was on earth, right?  And what did YOU tell me about limitations?  Didn't YOU tell me that if one has limitations, that one is not God?You can't s…[Read more]

Quote (carmel @ April 03 2014,00:16)THEREFORE THAT MEDIATOR IS HIMSELF AS THE WORD!So “God” NEEDED a mediator, and therefore “God” BECAME that mediator BETWEEN men and “God”? Poppycock. If “God” was the one who was going to become the mediator anyway, then what need did He have FOR a mediator in the first place?Did God say, “I cannot talk to…[Read more]

But for us there is ONE GOD, the FatherIt was Jehovah Himself who foretold that Jesus would be called a mighty god, Nick.And it was Jehovah Himself who later called him “O God”, right?Why do you suppose Jehovah would do such a thing, if Jesus wasn't a god?For…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 03 2014,11:45)Slavery is a type of employment contract whose terms vary from age to age and culture to culture.It could be, Kerwin.  Some poor people sold themselves to others.  The agreement is that they would receive room and board, and in turn they would do laborious work for their owner.According to the Bible, a rich r…[Read more]

Quote (david @ April 03 2014,11:37)If you said: I'm going to country x to buy some slaves, how would people respond? And why?Most people would not respond favorably, David. But that's because we are more “enlightened” today.Don't get me wrong, I despise the way many slave owners treated their slaves. The owning of slaves is not the condemnable…[Read more]

Quote (david @ April 03 2014,11:28)Quote (mikeboll64 @ April 01 2014,12:21)If the U.S. was conquered today, and I found myself a slave, I would try my best to practice what Paul taught in Ephesians 6 and Colossians 3.  I would obey my earthly masters with sincerity of heart as I would obey Christ himself.Mike, When Canada finally conquers the US…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 03 2014,11:36)There is nowhere wives are called slaves in Scripture though I believe women could become free through marriage.Psalm 86:16 NETTurn toward me and have mercy on me!  Give your servant your strength!  Deliver your slave! 23Footnote #23 says:Heb “the son of your female servant.” The phrase “son of a female servant…[Read more]
