Marty,Mike, although running as fast as he could, was unable to win the race.Do you see the PRESENT tense word “running”?Do you see that since the sentence AS A WHOLE is a PAST tense statement, “Mike WAS running as fast as he could” is implied?Now, compare that with the entire statement of Phil 2:6-8, for it is all one big sentence.Are all the…[Read more]

So then, even though He specifically said, “THERE IS NO OTHER ROCK”, we don't take those words in a LITERAL way, right? Because we know from other scriptures that there really exist MANY rocks, right?

Marty, What about Isaiah 44:8?NRSV ©There is no other rock; I know not one.Is Jehovah LITERALLY the ONLY rock in all of existence?  Or is the meaning of His words more like the Message Bible translates them?There's no Rock like me that I know of.Which one?

So does the fact that Mr. Obama went on T.V. and said he was the ONLY president in the U.S. alter the status of the President of AT&T?  Did he all of a sudden become a “so-called president” that only certain people had made into their own personal president………. when in fact he wasn't a real president at all?  Just because Obama E…[Read more]

Thanks for the new videos, journey. I watched the ones Wakeup posted, and while there was some good info on them, there was nothing conclusive. That is often the case in videos about Bigfoot or UFO's as well. There is a lot of little things they say that they HOPE will lead you to their conclusion, but actual FACTS are few and far between.For…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 19 2013,16:10)T8,Philippians does not say “he existed” it says “existing”.“WAS existing” is clearly implied from the past tense form of the statement as a whole.And to say “he was existing in the form of God” is identical to saying “he existed in the form of God”.

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 19 2013,16:27)1) Paul was speaking of an event that occurred in the past relative to where he was writing so it seemed reasonable to me that the sentence is past tense to then. So then, from Paul's point of view as he was writing those words, Jesus WAS existing in the form of God, right?Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 19…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Sep. 19 2013,05:40)Sorry for not keeping up here.Forgive me if this seems lame compared to what you might have already discussed.But what is the form of God? My guess it is spirit. God is a spirit. Angels are spirits too and they are called sons.Did Jesus exist in spirit form, partake of the flesh, then return to the glory that he had…[Read more]

Quote (jb2u @ Sep. 19 2013,03:26)There would be a point to be made..IF Paul had said that Jesus EXISTED in the form of God and then was transformed into man, but you have to change Paul's words in order to say that!!That's pretty much EXACTLY what Paul said, jb.But I posted the actual meaning of the Greek words, right?

Quote (Wakeup @ Sep. 19 2013,06:13)Angels are spirit and they are capable to manifest in the flesh if they have to.“Spirits don't have flesh and bones”.That is what Jesus himself told us.  But if spirits “manifest flesh”, then Jesus' point was moot, because it would mean that spirits SOMETIMES do have flesh and bones.There is no scripture that…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Sep. 17 2013,18:31)It is written that he existed in the form of God, emptied himself, came here in the flesh, was obedient to God, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of God in the glory that he had with the Father before the world began.In case you missed it.

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 16 2013,20:05)As for the Jews they actually seemed to believe Jesus was speaking of his flesh……..Please don't try to confuse the issue, Kerwin.  Of course they thought he was talking about his flesh WHEN he said they must eat of his FLESH.   But neither Jesus nor the Jews mentioned “flesh” when he said, “I came down from h…[Read more]
