Quote (carmel @ Mar. 19 2014,11:20)Quote It makes perfect sense to me that Jesus had to take on flesh to be sacrificed, and also so he could become a better mediator between us and his God due to knowing first hand the trials and tribulations we go through as a species.MIke,AS ALWAYS:YOUR WORLDLY WISDOM WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO SEE GOD'S…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2014,22:04)Hi J42, Of course Jesus had half his DNA from his Father. The other half from Mary.His spiritual sonship was of the Spirit at the JordanThat's an interesting point, Nick. You are forever telling us that God begot His Son at the Jordan River……. at the time of Jesus' baptism.But Jesus was “half God's DNA”…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2014,21:33)Hi MB, You say God is in you. You agree God was in Christ? All of this is by the Spirit. So Christ and his brothers can be with God without the odd conclusion you reach?The “God can be with God” conclusion is the one YOU reach, Nick.  I have never reached the conclusion that “God” can be WITH “God”.Christ…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Mar. 19 2014,14:54)Yes nick,You can take a horse to water, but can you hamstring him?  Therefore, repent of your muslim-ish ways, accept God, and be healed. This is known as the confuse and run away technique.  Good bye.You hit the nail on the head, David.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 18 2014,21:24)Hi MB, In the Spirit.So this was when? At birth? Before you could read? Before a single scripture was read to you?Explain how you came to know God and Jesus without using your own mind at all.

And how did you come to know them, Nick?

And who would that be, Nick?

Pierre, 1.  God foreknows future events.2.  God foresees future events.They both mean the same exact thing.  So you are right that we have both been saying the same thing right from the beginning.The only difference has been that you don't KNOW that #1 and #2 above mean the same exact thing – despite the many times I've told you so.

1. Whether or not the name is added, it is clear from the context that John was talking about Jesus. (This is most likely WHY so many translations add the name in their versions.)2. Are you saying that Isaiah DIDN'T speak about Jesus, and that he did NOT see the glory of God's Messiah – even in his own mind's eye?3. Are you insinuating that…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Mar. 16 2014,15:26)Sorry, Mike:The Word of God is that which God has spoken.In most cases, you are correct.  The phrase “the word of God” usually refers to literal instructions, commands, or words that God spoke.But in some cases, like Rev 19:13, it is abundantly clear that literal words from God will not ride a white horse.And in…[Read more]

It is John who attributed what happened in John 12 to words Isaiah wrote in Is 6.  The NT expands on, and explains, the OT, right? But Isaiah spoke many things about the coming Messiah throughout his writings.  In 9:6, for instance, Isaiah definitely spoke about Jesus, and his great glory.And the whole of Isaiah 53 is about Jesus, with the fi…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 17 2014,00:49)Mike,Quote 2.  Do all of us have the spirit of God from heaven animating us, just like Adam did?  If so, doesn't that refute your understanding that the “first Adam” was the flesh body, and the “second Adam” was the breath (spirit) from heaven?  YES or NO?I am saying that Paul used the creation of Adam to show th…[Read more]
