Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 02 2013,11:30)Have you considered that wickedness, being an action, is not considered created? Wickedness came to be when Satan out of free choice rebelled against Jehovah.The most you can claim is that Jehovah provided Satan and others with the ability to choose between righteousness and wickedness.Amen. With this, I agree.…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Jan. 02 2013,12:30)WORDS ARNT SIMPLY WORDS……….That line is simply silly, Wakeup – as is the rest of your post, IMO.  Let's not get all “philosophical” about this, and start imagining that words are “spooky, mysterious things”.Sometimes words are just words.  And many times in the scripture, that is the case.And YES, the S…[Read more]

It wasn't God personally who gave John the rest of his revelation.  God gave him some of it, but Jesus and the angels were still there, giving him other parts of it.But other than that, I agree with what you've stated in your last post.  But how does that address my point?Do you agree that sometimes in scripture, “the word of God” simply refers t…[Read more]

Ed,It seems the rest of us all agree that John is speaking about the same exact subject, “the Word of God”, from verse 1 up until verse 14 (so far, and with the exception of verse 6, which introduces John the Baptist).Are you also in agreement with the rest of us?

Guys, can we really look at Charles Manson, and truthfully say that he is NOT a creation of God?If he is not, then WHO is his Creator? I thought there was but ONE Creator in existence.

Charles,I really have no clue as to what you're talking about. Why not just tell me “the answer” that I “don't know”, okay?

So you're retired, but your wife still works?

Okay Gene.So, your answer is “YES”, John is STILL talking about the same Word in verses 12-13 as he was in verse 1, right?

Nor would anyone ever have to “ENTER” into a Kingdom that was already in their mind. And Jesus and the Apostles speak many times about “ENTERING” the Kingdom of God.

I agree with Wakeup and Gene on this one point:1 John 4:10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.Gene, I don't agree with all the rest that you posted – especially about Acts 20:28 being about God's blood.The Greek words are, that he purchased with the blood of his own.Some,…[Read more]
