Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2014,13:22)Hi MB, Can't answer that. But it is one of the gifts of the Spirit “Out of the mouth comes what the heart is full of”Where is your “gift of discernment” located, Nick?Is it a part of your conscious being? Or does the spirit give you this gift any time you have to understand something?And if the latter, what…[Read more]

Still not an answer, Nick. Keep trying.

Nick,This discussion is about John 12. It seems abundantly clear that since JESUS is the one they wouldn't believe in, JESUS is the one whose glory Isaiah saw, and the one Isaiah spoke about in those prophesies John quoted.1. They didn't put their trust in JESUS.2. It was for THIS REASON that Isaiah said “x” and “y”.See? Nothing at all to do…[Read more]

It was an “either/or” question, Pierre. “No” doesn't tell me anything.

Pierre,This is the ONLY question on the table right now:Do YOU believe that God makes “educated GUESSES” about what's going to happen in the future? Or do you think God KNOWS without a doubt what's going to happen in the future?Which one?

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 16 2014,17:20)Second, 1 Corinthians 15:44 is not talking about a body composed of spirit not is it talking a body composed of soul as to claim one is true it is reasonable to claim the other is true and none seriously believes the mortal body is composed of soul.Ahhh……… but what if you were to lose your ancient English…[Read more]

To lie to the MESSENGER of God would be to lie to God.Is the EAR of God “the Father”?Is the MESSENGER of God “the Father”?Is the HOLY SPIRIT OF THE FATHER “the Father”?Nick, when will you…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2014,19:13)Hi MB,1.  You have had many answers from me but none have come back from you. Why is this?2.  How can God be with God is not for human reasoning to solve. Study scripture3.  Jesus said he was in the Father and the Father was in him so how does this fit with your separate person idea?1.  I have?  All I ever…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2014,15:18)Hi MB “What if you HAD TO take it as it was written, and come to an understanding of what it meant for the Word to actually BECOME the flesh being who dwelled on earth with the glory of God's only begotten Son?” You want the becoming flesh to relate to the conception of the man Jesus?That's not an answer to…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 16 2014,18:04)Your case is deeply flawed but the teaching it supports is what you are used to and so you do not want to abandon it.MY case is flawed?  These are the things you listed that I have on my side:Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 16 2014,18:04)1.  So all you have evidence of is after the word was made flesh Jesus had the c…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2014,19:02)Hi MB,Scripture says the Word was with God.But we have no deep conception of the heavenly ways of God so we should not try to force them into human conceptsCan we humanly conceive that Jehovah our God is one?

And do we all have that gift of discernment? Or just you?And where is that gift located? Where do you keep that gift God gave you, Nick? Isn't it in your “natural mind”?If not, where do YOU keep your gift of discernment?

Yes Nick. Pointing out your empty prattle, so others here don't get sucked in by it, is one of my roles as a leader here.

Yes. Now answer MY question, Nick. Or admit that you are unable or unwilling to do so.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 16 2014,12:55)Hi MB, Is the role of a leader here to try to have fun at the expense of the members?God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.I take much pleasure from making fun of the silly doctrines of people who are unable to adequately explain, or scripturally support those doctrines – but go on teaching them…[Read more]
