Charles,How about YOU answer MY question: In John 17:3, DOES Jesus CLEARLY identify himself as someone OTHER THAN “the only true God”?  YES or NO?Quote (carmel @ Mar. 08 2013,00:25)TO WHOM JESUS REFERED, WITH:   NOW!!!!

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 07 2013,22:17)Mike,Neanderthals and Denisovans are said to crossbred with Cromagnons. They have some DNA to support the claim.Fair enough, Kerwin.But my point is: In evolutionary theory, there existed “humanoids” BEFORE there existed what we call “homo sapiens”.Could there have existed “humanoids” in the land of Nod BEFORE…[Read more]

Quote (abe @ Mar. 08 2013,12:26)(1) Are you saying Wisdom is not part of God?I thought I already answered that question.Wisdom, in its LITERAL sense, is something God POSSESSES – but I wouldn't consider it to be a “part of” the Being of God Almighty.You can also POSSESS wisdom, but I wouldn't call wisdom a “part of” you.As for Proverbs 8, I…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Mar. 08 2013,03:37)We are made in God's image and that image is our inner self. Where can I read about that “inner self” part in scripture?Quote (2besee @ Mar. 08 2013,03:37)God is spirit and you cannot see spirit.Humans generally cannot see spirit beings.  God does, on rare occasions, open the eyes of human beings so that they…[Read more]

Quote (abe @ Mar. 07 2013,21:53)Hi Mike,Is the Holy Spirit   God?No Abe.The Holy Spirit is OF God.Just as your spirit is not entirely “you”, God's Spirit is not entirely “Him”.  Your spirit is a part OF “you” – and God's Spirit is a part OF “Him”.This is how I understand it.

Hmmm…………The words are “firstborn of every creature”.  Yet jammin says it must mean something other than the most sensible understanding, because he doesn't WANT Jesus to have been created at all.And Gene says it must mean something other than the most sensible understanding, because he doesn't WANT Jesus to have been created before the…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Mar. 06 2013,20:34)What I am saying is that there is nothing in that scripture to suggest that these “others” were already in the Land of Nod.  So,  to suggest that, and state it as a fact is wrong.How about, “I SHALL BE a fugitive, and IT WILL COME TO PASS that anyone finding me will kill me”?Cain doesn't seem to be saying, “Oh…[Read more]
